This is a good book to read, selected from 300 books a year

While having an objective perspective, it is a selection full of dogmatism and prejudice. If it is well received, I would like to make a second one.

The Psychology of Suffering: Why Do People Search for Suffering on Their Own? by Paul Bloom

Easy to read even though it's a translation. Interesting!

Why do people behave irrationally, such as horror movies, extreme heat, and harsh exercise? It is a book that scientifically explores whether we choose pain and fear by ourselves.

Not only that, but even the theory of happiness is written.

"Do what you want to do" is often written in self-help books, but it is not a bad thing to involve pain in the process, but rather it is worth it. I was convinced after reading this book. However, there are conditions, it is not a forced pain that you do not know when it will end, but it is a pain in control as a result of your own choice. A state where there is something you want to reach beyond increases the value of life.

Based on the knowledge of psychology and brain science, "pain" deeply considers human values and sense of purpose. I read it by superimposing my usual behavior. Recommended for those who want to explore intellectually.

Book 2 "The Moment You Finished Reading, A Story of Weather Where the Sky Looks Beautiful" by Kentaro Araki (Diamond Publishing)

It is a book that explains meteorology for the general public. It is very friendly because it explains clouds from the steam of miso soup and the whirlpool of hot coffee, Laputa's dragon's nest, Doraemon, Anpanman and meteorology are intertwined.

However, there are many technical terms, so there may be parts that you do not understand at all. (I'm sorry for the theme of "easy to understand") There is also a case of skipping and reading once. It is recommended to read with an OK attitude if you can enjoy it even if you do not understand a little.

Book 3: How the Brain Views the World by Jeff Hawkins

It is an intellectually stimulating book...!

It was written that it was completely different from the mechanism of the brain that I had known so far, and it was an experience that overflowed with curiosity.

Because the tiny "cortical column" in the brain, so to speak, recognizes / learns / predicts coordinates like a map in parallel. Moreover, it is surprising that not only places but also concepts are moved by this mechanism. A book that you can experience deeply diving into the maze of brain science. The feeling after reading is also the best...!

4th book "My Neighbor's Conspiracy Theory" Kodansha Gendai Shinsho Masayuki Karasuya (Author)

It teaches the process by which conspiracy theories are created from examples.

In conclusion, the desire to simply grasp the world and the sense that important things are taken away create conspiracy theories.

I realized again the fragility of human cognition.
