I am really lucky &; Be grateful
Thank you, Lao Tie, for practicing the marathon with me at 3: 00 in the morning, and hitting the wall and the gate of hell for 30㎞ training.
Share 3 ways to make Monday luckier.
The first way is to try to get out of your comfort zone and take small risks, even if it is such a small thing as talking to strangers, it will have a great chance to change your life.
The second way is to improve the relationship with others. When someone does something for you, they spend time on you, which could have been spent on themselves or others. You should thank them for their behavior.
Third, change the relationship between yourself and your thoughts. When encountering a new idea, most people will comment: "This is a good idea" or "This idea is terrible". In fact, there is no difference between a good idea and a bad idea. Many times, a bad idea can produce really great things.
Share four effective ways to guide others on Tuesday.
? Richard taylor, winner of the Nobel Prize in Economics, and Cass Sunstein, an influential American jurist, put forward the concept of "boosting", specifically, skillfully guiding people to make more rational thinking and choices without coercion. How to effectively promote a behavior must have four characteristics: simplicity, attraction, sociality and timeliness.
Let's talk about simplification first. This concept can be explained by a individual capital, that is, friction cost. When people want to do something, they will lose motivation because of trouble. Enterprises will take advantage of this, for example, enterprises will let users try new products for free within 10 days. However, if you are not sure whether you are satisfied with the product and want to return it after trial, you are wrong, because the friction cost is much greater than you think. So, if you want to promote a specific behavior, simplify it; On the contrary, make it more complicated.
The second is attraction. In order to attract people's attention, things must be conspicuous, that is, from a psychological point of view, they must be conspicuous. In addition, "stimulus" can also attract people's attention. People like to participate in "games" that can accumulate points and achievements, and are easily attracted by other things that are scarce or related to things we like. Of course, doing the right thing for others is also one of the motives, such as encouraging children to study hard, which is very attractive to parents.
The third is sociality. Humans are social animals, and we are often influenced by others. Therefore, when people know "what others are doing" or "what a group needs most", they are likely to do the same thing with them. People around us can easily influence us, especially people we know or people who are very similar to us. Although we don't have to take the initiative to take advantage of these influences, at least we should avoid using them wrongly.
The fourth is timeliness. This means seizing the best opportunity to intervene. For example, when young couples just have children, it means buying a lot of things they haven't bought before, and their living habits will change. If a brand can know the changes of the couple's life in advance, it will provide relevant information about maternal and child products to expectant mothers a few months before the birth of the child. After the baby is born, young mothers will be more inclined to choose this brand of products. When choosing the timing of intervention, the effect of early intervention is usually better, which is why businessmen want to know whether a young couple is going to have a baby soon. Because merchants know that in this period, such couples are particularly easy to be persuaded to buy new products, which may change their previous habits.
On Wednesday, share common misunderstandings when people spend money (1).
Dan ariely is a professor of psychology and behavioral economics at Duke University. His new book is Psychology of Money: Break your myth about money and learn to spend wisely. In this book, from the perspective of behavioral economics, dan ariely introduced some common psychological misunderstandings in dealing with money problems and how to do them.
The first psychological misunderstanding is to ignore the opportunity cost. In an experiment in behavioral psychology, participants were asked to decide whether to buy a 1000 stereo and a $700 stereo, or a $700 stereo and a $300 CD package. Therefore, most people choose $700 stereo and $300 CD package. Behavioral psychologists say that this is because the $300 CD looks more specific and has a stronger sense of acquisition. So we will ignore the opportunity cost. To solve this psychological misunderstanding, we need to think about a consumption or transaction from the perspective of opportunity cost. For example, what can the same money be used for? For another example, you can further convert the money into time: how many hours of work or how many months of salary is this money equivalent to.
The second misunderstanding is that everything is relative, so we will compare the discount prices of different commodities or the same commodity. The most common scene of this misunderstanding is various discounts on shopping malls and e-commerce websites. The comparison between the discount price and the original price is particularly easy for us to spend impulsively. Many people find that in fact, businesses will raise prices and then discount them. Nevertheless, discounts can still stimulate the desire of promoters to buy. The correct way is to see the special price, don't consider the original price, don't consider how much money can be saved now, but consider how much it actually costs. For example, if you buy a shirt, the price will drop from 1000 to 600, not "saving 400" but "spending 600". Another common scene of this misunderstanding is that when you buy an expensive thing, you often spend it on other less expensive products. For example, if you spend 6 million yuan to buy a house, it is easy to think that a 50,000 TV is not so expensive and it is very convenient to buy. The correct way is to consider the cost separately for those with relatively large consumption. Because when you buy a big commodity, such as a car or a house, it is easy to relax your vigilance against other relatively cheap items. Therefore, buying a house belongs to buying a house, and home appliances belong to buying home appliances.
The third misunderstanding is that we are good at classifying money. There is a technical term called "psychological account" in behavioral psychology, which refers to this phenomenon. People will set up different psychological accounts and divide the money into: salary, bonus, windfall, etc. You may spend your salary carefully, but you may squander bonuses and windfall like a rich man without feeling bad at all. The correct way is to keep in mind a simple principle: money can be replaced, that is, this dollar is exactly the same as that dollar. When you find yourself squandering so-called specific types of money, such as bonuses or won money, you must stop and remind yourself: "This is still my money, and money is money. It makes no difference."
The fourth misunderstanding is: escape from pain. Spending money will bring pain, so behavioral psychologists once gave an interesting suggestion, that is, eating without AA system, but taking turns to pay the bill. Because the pain of one person spending money to pay the bill is less than the sum of the pain of all people spending money under AA system. But the pain of spending money also has its advantages, because it can at least make us consider the value of this kind of consumption and the opportunity cost of spending this money. It allows us to pause before buying and consider whether we should spend the money at this time.
However, in order to reduce this "pain of spending money", the people who design the payment mechanism help us in various ways. Let's not pause, don't consider other options, and pay happily. For example, credit cards, various fast payment methods, one-click ordering and so on. Therefore, behavioral psychologists will say that using cash when shopping can greatly reduce your consumption. Of course, in reality, almost no one can pay in cash.
The fifth psychological misunderstanding about money is that we trust ourselves too much. When using money, we will trust our previous judgment, choice and reaction to the price. I believe that previous decisions will make us often make mistakes such as anchoring and conformity. Psychology has done many related experiments. For example, two groups of people who participated in the experiment were shown different numbers in advance. One group sees more, while the other group sees less. Then, they were asked to provide the price of a product. Seeing the group with a large quantity will lead to a higher price. The number they saw before is the anchor number. The so-called suggested retail price of many products is also an anchor price. The correct way is to question the seemingly random figures, the suggested retail price clearly marked, and the products with very high prices. The real purpose of a very expensive product is probably to sell the less expensive products behind. (To be continued)
On Thursday, share common misunderstandings when people spend money (2)
The sixth misunderstanding is that we overestimate the value of what we have or may lose. When we have something, it is more valuable in our eyes.
For example, buying and selling a well-decorated house is prone to this misunderstanding. The correct way is to realize that decoration may only increase the value of the house for us, but not for others.
The seventh misunderstanding is that we care about fairness and hard work. A common example in life is that it is very difficult to take a taxi during the rush hour. At this time, it is necessary to increase the price of taxis. When the price reaches a certain level, some people will think it is unfair, so they refuse to take another taxi and prefer to walk home. Or even if you pay a high price, you will refuse to use the same taxi software for a while because you think the company is unfair. The advice given by behavioral psychologists is: "Don't worry about whether the price of something is fair, just think about whether it is worth it to us." If you think it's worth it, pay for it quickly, and don't worry about whether you have been treated unfairly. In addition, merchants will also use this misunderstanding to emphasize how many skilled craftsmen and processes have gone through to make their products; There are also some businesses that will make the production process of products transparent. Because you can show how hard you work through transparency. These are all to make users feel that money is spent well. Be careful at this time and don't be confused by superficial efforts. It still depends on the products and services, whether they are good or not, and whether they are valuable to themselves.
The eighth misunderstanding of spending money is that we will believe in the magical power of words and ceremonies.
If the consumption process of a thing is long and grandiose, we are likely to pay more for this long and grandiose process, although these descriptions, processes and ceremonies may not add any practical value to the product itself.
For example, if a bottle of wine is simply packaged and taken to the office with disposable paper cups, we may not think how delicious it is or how much it is worth. However, the same bottle of wine, put in a high-end restaurant, has the atmosphere of a restaurant, has a special wine glass, and has a waiter to explain the year and brewing method of this bottle of wine, which will be several times more expensive. Of course, language and ceremony can really change the quality of our experience of products or services. So, if you have spent money, hug them and let them help you improve your experience. You can enjoy the history and ingenuity behind a bottle of wine.
The ninth misunderstanding is that we will turn our expectations into reality. "Expectation gives us reason to believe that something is good or bad, delicious or unpalatable. Expectations have not changed the essence of this thing, but expectations have changed our thoughts and experiences. " Therefore, sometimes we actually spend money on our own "expectations" rather than on the essence of this product. If you want to change this, you should separate expectations from reality and remind yourself not to take expectations as facts.
The above is put forward by dan ariely, a behavioral economist. People often have misunderstandings when making decisions involving money, and what is the correct way of thinking. I hope it inspires you.
Share the future work in the eyes of futurology on Friday
An article in Fast Company magazine introduces two futurists' views on future work:
? First, the future work form may be "tribal". If you observe the early human lifestyle, you will find that it is very important to be with people who are kind to you, which can help you survive better. This can be used to describe the way we organize our work and life in the future, that is, you should be in an organization that is more conducive to your doing things well.
Secondly, the concept of future retirement will gradually fade away. In the future, machines will be more efficient than humans in some things, so humans will become more like humans. People should fully tap their potential. But she feels that many potentials of people nowadays have not been well cultivated. Therefore, many current work norms, such as nine to five, traditional office, strict hierarchy and retirement concept, will change. In the future, people may not retire when they reach a certain age, and they will have a lot of rest time throughout their career. People can choose the way that suits them best (part-time or full-time) to decide where to work.
Third, redefine leadership. Because the future work emphasizes stimulating the greatest potential of individuals and requires people to have passion, "motivation" will become an important part of leadership. Because people work for a cause and what they believe, if the company can make people feel this way, employees will be easier to understand and more motivated at work. But this kind of thing needs leadership to create. Leaders are people to be followed, not people who manage others.
Share how to increase self-control on Saturday.
Dan ariely, a behavioral psychologist and author of Weird Behavior, said that the lack of self-control is essentially due to two reasons: the first reason is that we underestimate the future, which makes us unwilling to sacrifice some current interests for the future; The second reason is that there is not enough willpower to overcome the temptation of the moment. For example, if you swallow dessert happily, it may be because you think that you will not gain weight in the future and embarrass yourself, or you may underestimate the difficulty of losing weight in the future, which is to underestimate the future; Another reason is that having dessert with friends after dinner is too tempting for you to refuse. Therefore, the methods he gave to increase self-control are: on the one hand, establish emotional ties with his future self; On the other hand, resist the current temptation.
First, let's look at how to establish an emotional connection with our future self. Why many people don't want to save for their future, such as saving for retirement and saving for possible diseases. The important reason is that emotionally, we imagine ourselves in the future as another person. Hal E.Hershfield, a psychologist, suggested that some simple tools can be used to help people become more vivid, more connected and able to imagine themselves in the future. For example, imagine talking to your older self or writing a letter to your older self in the future. In this way, we can think about our needs and desires at the age of 65 and 70, and what regrets we may have. Well, today, we make some preparations to help our future self meet the needs; Save for a rainy day, lest you regret it, and think more about yourself in the future.
Next, let's take a look at how to resist the temptation of the moment. Dan ariely proposed a method called Ulysses convention. This method comes from Greek mythology. It means to resist the current temptation, actively set obstacles and reduce choices. We don't give ourselves any choice and destroy free will. For example, before the exam, we can ask a friend to help us change the password of Weibo's account and tell him that no matter how hard you ask, don't tell you the password until the exam is over. For another example, set the payment limit of credit card in advance to restrain your desire for consumption.
Share the three underlying logics of persuasion on Sunday.
1. No one likes to be changed (I am persuaded = I am defeated, the more reasons = the more unhappy I am, not that you should, but that I need) -2. No one likes ignorance (telling others the reason rather than hiding it is the easiest way to persuade) -3. Everyone wants a way out (it doesn't matter, you choose.
