The Way to Happiness Inner Quest Chapter 1 Summary Of this chapter

<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" > summary of this chapter</h1>

The good results of sincerity, righteousness of heart, body cultivation, family unity, national governance, and peace in the world all come from "cognition", and to have good actions and good results, we must first have the supreme "cognition". Cognition, the power of the "heart". Modern brain science proves that the potential of the "brain" - the potential of the "heart" is infinite, and the waste of the potential of the "heart" is the most serious waste in the world.

Knowledge is the beginning of action, and cognition affects emotions. If you want to control behavior and emotions, you first need to control cognition; if you want to control and optimize life, you first need to control and optimize the "self-mind".

"The heart of the people is in danger, but the heart of the Tao is small." The trivialities and lusts of the present can easily occupy the brain, blind the way of simplicity, imprison the potential of the "heart", and reduce the efficiency of cognition. Cognitive efficiency, on the one hand, depends on how much information enters the mind belongs to the superior information, on the other hand, it depends on the logical chain of organizing this information, and whether the value chain is simple, supreme, and true!

Judgment is a concentrated manifestation of cognitive ability. In the chain of information-knowledge-idea-judgment-action, judgment occupies a central position. Realistic judgment is more complicated and more difficult than logical deduction. As far as china's school education is concerned, the task of strengthening the training in the last three links is more arduous and urgent. What should be avoided at present is that most of what students have learned is stuck in the first two links, and cannot generate clear beliefs, effective judgments, and good responsibilities.

Although I have heard so many life principles, I still can't guarantee a good life in the present. After learning so many professional terms and professional logic, it is not necessarily possible to build a more effective cognitive framework and action framework in this professional field, especially in the fields of humanities and social sciences and economic management. If you don't get it right, too many professional terms will become an additional burden on spirituality, and too much professional logic will become an extra bondage to the vitality of life.

Cognitive inertia is equivalent to computer programs, cognition can not be fundamentally optimized and improved, many ineffective behaviors and negative emotional experiences can only be repeated indefinitely. "Every day is new, every day is new, and every day is new." Only by constantly updating and improving their cognitive level can people see a more open and spectacular material world, and can they build a more harmonious and sacred inner world.

The human heart is instinctively driven to chase "inner consistency." Man, never expect to understand everything, never expect to reach absolute "agreement" on all information. In a lifetime, one can only reach the greatest agreement on the information that enters the mind—some agreement on mathematical logic or some agreement on some humanistic value. The consistency of mathematical logic mainly emphasizes the consistency of reason, while the consistency of humanistic values requires the unity of rational consistency and perceptual consistency! If you want to make the unity of reason and the unity of sensibility nourish each other, you need real effort very slowly and slowly! Wang Yangming's "To conscience" includes both an emphasis on rational consistency and an emphasis on emotional consistency.

The universe is everywhere, and the heart is reflected in everything. The time of the screening is "yes", and the non-reflection is "none". "Nothing", forgetting both things and self, the body and mind can be most thoroughly recuperated; "being", following the simplicity, the supreme, the truth is the key, and the establishment of an autonomous cognitive framework is the key. Without an autonomous cognitive framework, listening to the east and the west is reasonable, and listening to the west is reasonable, a person will live a very busy, tired, and ineffective life.

"Yes" and "nothing" are mutually reinforcing, the heart will be more clear, simple, and judgmental, the action will be more effective, and the emotion will be more "peace of mind and joy".
