The sexual instinct was formulated by Sigmund Freud, he called it specific energy - libido. This is the energy of excitement, which in turn is caused by natural human needs, in particular, this is the need to leave offspring, and not to get pleasure or relieve stress, as some people mistakenly believe. In order to understand and study the sexual instinct, we do not have to re-read books [...]

Psychology is a very interesting, useful and even, one might say, valuable science. After all, she studies not something, but the mental activity of a person, by which we mean many different processes taking place in our consciousness. Man has always been a mystery to himself. And to a large extent, it remains so today. We still know too little about ourselves. But despite all the mystery of the human soul and mind, psychology has made significant progress in the field of knowledge of the essence of man. And this allowed us to learn a lot of new and interesting things about ourselves. In this article, dear readers, I want to tell you about psychology all the most interesting things that you need to know about it so that you show interest in this science and understand how useful it is for studying. And since on this site I will post very useful articles on the topic of psychology, affecting absolutely all aspects human life, it is very important for me that you take a serious interest in my works, which, believe me, will bring you great benefit.

I believe that psychology is currently underestimated in terms of its usefulness, both for an individual person and for society as a whole. Maybe I'm wrong, but judging by the problems many people face in life and given the importance of these problems, psychology could well replace some other subjects at school in order to prepare children for life from an early age. But that is what it is. We know what we have been taught. But now, as adults and reasonable people, we ourselves need to start teaching ourselves what is useful for us to know. And knowledge of psychology, I repeat, is very useful for life. And in this article I will prove it to you. So do not be lazy, read it carefully to the end, and you will begin to look at life with completely different eyes!

Psychology is

First of all, friends, let's find out what psychology is. Psychology is the science of the soul. This is if you translate it literally. But modern psychology does not study the soul of a person, it studies his psyche. And the human psyche is his inner world with their own laws of formation and functioning. That is, the human psyche is a system of subjective images of reality, which we call the inner world. Each person has his own inner world, but it is worth noting that many things in our inner worlds coincide, so the behavior of most people in the same situations is largely predictable. Thus, psychology studies the inner world of a person from different points of view, or more precisely, from all possible points of view. I will say so that you understand what the meaning of psychology is - psychology is the key to a person's knowledge of himself, and he, a person, in the opinion of many thinkers with whom I completely agree, is the key to understanding the world. Having cognized ourselves, we cognize the world, we cognize all those processes that take place in it. In general, this is a theory, but I think it is very close to reality. Well, why do we need to know ourselves, and even more so, to know the whole world, you, dear friends, I think, do not need to be explained. After all, this is not only strength and power, it is also great happiness - to understand who you are, what world you live in and why you live at all.

How often do people ask themselves about the meaning of life? Personally, have you ever asked yourself the question - what is the meaning of your life? It seems to me that they asked. After all, if you have shown interest in this article, then you are definitely not indifferent to who you are and why you live. So, believe me, many people ask this question. I will even say so - any reasonable person asks about the meaning of life. Why? Because in life we ​​have to experience all sorts of moments, both good and bad. In fact, we are fighting for survival every day, we strive for something, overcome obstacles, face all sorts of problems and tasks, suffer, rejoice, experience pain and pleasure. Therefore, it is quite natural that we want to know - for what, why do we need all this? Why should we fight for survival, why should we endure, suffer, humiliate ourselves when necessary, believe in something or someone, hope for the best and constantly be prepared for the worst, what is the ultimate goal of the life process, for what and for what are we moving? This is how we think about the meaning of our life and life in general. Do you know where the answer to this question is? According to many thinkers, it is within ourselves. It is difficult to disagree with this statement, because having understood who we are, we will most likely understand what we were created for. And why, in general, this whole world was created - we will certainly understand this, knowing ourselves. And I am sure that understanding all this would greatly simplify our life. Indeed, at the moment when this very life does not add up, when we experience pain and suffering, when we are forced to make enormous efforts for elementary survival, we really want to know what we live for. Anyway, in order to calm our minds, we need to know what role each of us plays in the process of being. So psychology is also a rather mysterious science, because it studies the largely mysterious and little-known inner world of a person, which is fraught with no less mysteries than the entire Universe. And maybe even more. Therefore, it is worth studying. But, let's see what psychology gives us from a practical, and speaking even more precisely, from an everyday point of view. Still, we all need to solve a lot of everyday problems and tasks every day, and therefore we must understand how psychology can help us with this.

Why is psychology needed

So, why do we need psychology? Is it so important to study it, spending your time and energy on it, to the detriment of other sciences? Friends, I could give you a whole list of the benefits that you will receive if you start to study human psychology. But I will say it easier so that you grasp the very essence of this issue and yourself can draw the correct conclusions, starting from it. Knowledge of psychology will help you make more correct decisions in life, even in those areas that have nothing to do with psychology. From buying something in the store to choosing a partner for living together, you always have to make choices about how to do the right thing. Your decisions depend on your choices, and your life depends on your decisions. What determines your choice? From your understanding of its laws. And this understanding, in turn, depends on your knowledge and understanding of yourself, that is, on the knowledge of psychology.

This world has its own patterns in which you need to be able to navigate and which must be correctly understood in order to apply the knowledge of these patterns to achieve the planned results. This is the path to what you can consider to be a success for yourself. You need to understand, if not all, then many important life processes that take place in our world in different areas... Knowing what follows from what - you will be able to accept correct decisions by minimizing the number of mistakes made in life, which will allow you to come to the results you need much more often. And what results and in what areas do you need, this, again, is up to you. That is, you yourself decide what you need to succeed in. And proceeding from this, you study the processes and patterns corresponding to your goals and desires. Each science studies certain processes - physics is one, chemistry is another, biology is still another, mathematics is fourth, astronomy is fifth, and so on. We need science in order to explain the structure of the world and understand the laws that exist in it. Psychology, and at the same time sociology, and many other social sciences - study the processes that make it possible to understand the laws of human behavior, as well as the reasons and goals of his behavior. In other words, we study psychology in order to understand the principle of human work, and in order to be able to influence this work in the way we need.

In general, I believe that everything should be studied as much as possible. For example, I am interested to know everything. But, unfortunately, I do not have enough for everything. Therefore, since our possibilities in understanding the world are still limited, it is better to give preference to everything that affects our life more than anything else. How strongly does psychology affect our lives? Well, if you think so, then in life we ​​have to deal with people very often. And even more so, we constantly have to deal with ourselves. Therefore, to understand the reasons for their own and other people's behavior, as well as to be able to influence it, in my opinion, is very important. Hence, psychology strongly influences our life. Here you can still draw a very relevant, in my opinion, analogy with instructions for various devices, devices, equipment. Let's say if you want to know how to properly use washing machine- you are studying the instructions attached to it, right? Knowing what and how to do - you do it right, and everything works the way you need it. It is the same with people. Knowing how to behave with them, how to influence them, and at the same time to influence yourself - you can achieve the results you need from yourself and from other people. Therefore, we can say that psychology is a kind of instruction to a person. And how well you know her will depend on your ability to manage yourself and other people. Is it important to us? I think yes. In any case, for me, it is much more important to know how a person works than, say, how the same atomic reactor works. It's just that I have to deal with people much more often in life than with many other things, and even more so with an atomic reactor. Therefore, I want to understand people best of all, and only then, if possible, in everything else. I respect very much: physics, mathematics, geometry, geography, medicine and many other very interesting and undoubtedly useful sciences. I love all the humanities. But I give preference to psychology, since it is more important to me. It is my choice. This is what I want. You, of course, are free to decide for yourself what and why it is more important for you to know, how and where you will apply the acquired knowledge.

If you look at this issue even more broadly, then I believe that we need psychology in order to make our own and other people's behavior the way it should be, so that we live in harmony and happiness. The better we understand ourselves and those around us, the calmer and more prosperous our life will be, the wiser we will behave in relation to each other. Psychology helps us see ourselves as we are and at the same time, it allows us to understand what we can become if we work on ourselves in a certain way. That is, psychology is a constantly updated instruction to a person, depending on the person himself. There are people who are at a primitive level of development, they have their own vision of the world, their own rules, their own patterns of behavior. There are more developed and complex-minded people, with less understandable and predictable behavior and difficult rules of life. They have their own vision of the world, their values, their own approach to certain matters. So people can be very different, but at the same time they must be able to get along with each other, because they depend on each other. And without understanding other people, it is difficult for us to get along with them, and understanding requires us to accept those who are not like us, who are not like us. This alone is enough to understand how useful psychology is. So, if possible, it is necessary to study it, by all available means. And there are plenty of these ways today!

How to study psychology

Now let's talk about how you can and how you should study psychology. Of course, using this site, how else. Kidding. Or rather, I'm exaggerating. My site, of course, will greatly help you in the study of human psychology, but it alone is not enough, because my efforts alone will not be enough to reveal psychology completely for you, although I will try to do it. Plus, you should never rely on just one source to learn anything. All people, without exception, tend to make mistakes - this is the first thing. The second - each individual person is able to study this or that issue well from one or several points of view, but not from all. We are all missing something from our field of vision, this is inevitable. The world is too complex, and even one specific direction in science, such as psychology, is very deep and can be studied by different people in different ways. Therefore, each person gives knowledge only such that he can give due to his capabilities. So I am extremely honest with you - study psychology from different sources. First of all, these are, of course, books and articles, as well as video lessons and audio recordings. The articles are useful primarily in that they can save a lot of time, since they contain the conclusions drawn by the authors of these articles based on reading several books. But at the same time, each article may not explain something as fully and in detail as a good book does.

Also, you should understand that success in learning something depends on the smoothness of your entry into the topic being studied. When reading an article or book on psychology, you must understand what in question in this article, book. It is very important. In every book and article there are dark and light spots, that is, those areas that a person understands [light spots] and which he does not understand [dark spots]. So, there should be more light spots so that you can easily assimilate the studied material. It is very difficult to avoid dark spots at all, we always misunderstand something when we read about something, even if we read very thoughtfully, because we can skip some moments past our attention. But these dark spots should be much less light. Otherwise, there will be no benefit from reading. Therefore, there is a very simple rule that you need to adhere to when studying psychology. If you have opened a book and do not understand what is written in it, close it and put it aside. At the moment, this is a bad book for you because it is incomprehensible. Take another book on the same topic, but in a simpler way, so that you understand what it is written about, and start studying the subject from it. The same with articles - do not read those articles that you do not understand, leave them for later, when your level of understanding increases and you can understand what is written in them. Simply put - move from simple to complex, and you can learn everything that interests you, in particular psychology.

As for studying psychology with the help of other people, with the help of teachers, if you find yourself a good teacher, then it will be very good for you. Learning with the help of other people is much easier than learning for yourself. At the same time, it is absolutely not necessary to go to university to study psychology. Many of them are behind the times and therefore teach too long and not flexible enough. Often they use outdated programs and teaching methods, as a result of which students are given a lot of unnecessary and not the most important information, which complicates and lengthens the learning process, but does not make it better. But at the same time, in good university, of course, you will be taught a lot. Therefore, if the time and opportunities allow you to study at a university, in a good university - this is very important, you, of course, can go this way. But if you want to quickly grasp the basics of psychology that are most important for life, it is better to study it yourself, or with the help of a personal teacher who will select for you suitable program and will allow you to master it very quickly. In my opinion, it is easier and faster. In general, to save time and effort, before you study something - set yourself as specific a goal as possible - what and why you want to study. For example, when studying psychology, decide which problem, which is the most important for you at the moment, you want to study it. And based on this, select the appropriate materials for your study. That is, approach the study of psychology from the most important side for you at the moment. Accuracy is what matters. The more accurate you are in your plans, the faster you will implement them. In general, from experience I can tell you that studying psychology is very interesting, so sometimes you don't even notice how far you have come in this matter, reading one book after another. So the main thing is to start, and then everything will work out by itself, because the more interesting the subject of study, the easier it is to study it. And psychology, I repeat, is a very interesting science, because it is useful for life. You can immediately begin to apply the knowledge gained in psychology in your life and get real results in a variety of areas, even in relationships with other people, even in matters related to making money. I remember when I fully realized the benefits of psychology - I fell in love with this science.

And finally, I want to tell you, dear friends, that on this site I will post materials [articles] on psychology in such a way that, firstly, they are easy for you to assimilate, and secondly, they are of an applied practical nature, that is, so that you can apply all the knowledge gained on this site in your life, and thirdly, so that each article is somehow connected with another article - this will significantly increase the digestibility of the material and give you the most complete picture of psychology and its influence on our life ... So, friends, read my site, and your life is guaranteed to change for the better, because psychology is a really great power!

... psychologist, for a neurotic disorder is also a kind of crime, only it is directed against oneself. However, without the help of qualified specialists, my introspection is unlikely to lead to the desired result. Therefore, I decided to contact you. Unfortunately, despite my high sexual potency, I never managed to experience the joy of a close relationship with a person of the opposite sex. I have never had a sexual partner, and this is due to my complexes, which developed as a result of physical inferiority (violation of motor functions and vestibular apparatus). You know, from an early age I notice in myself one very strange feature: every time I have a very strong sexual arousal when I see or imagine how an attractive (in my taste) woman drives a car. Moreover, the greater the mass of the car, the stronger the excitement. The object of my special desire is the female hands that have ever turned the steering wheel of a car. Especially the palms. It seems to me that the reason for my such an emotional-sensual reaction to this phenomenon lies in an overly subtle feeling of a certain paradoxical-contrasting combination of soft tenderness (female hands) and hard deadly force (the wheels of a heavy car, which these hands control through the steering wheel). At the same time, it is important for me that the driver (in this case, a beautiful woman) is exactly inside the car she drives, being part of its mass. I, of course, understand that this is a topic for a long detailed conversation, but still I dare to ask you: what do you think, what can this my briefly stated "character whim" testify to? Is it a symptom of some kind of mental disorder? I am alarmed by the fact that none of the people with whom I have had occasion to communicate in this life have such inclinations. And in general, I have never heard anywhere that the fact - both real and invented in erotic fantasies - of a woman driving a car caused such powerful sexual experiences in someone. Taking this opportunity, I would like to briefly discuss something else curious inherent in my modest person. Since the age of 9, I have had a fear of funeral processions, especially with brass bands. However, at the same time I am constantly drawn towards the graveyards: I feel some kind of irresistible desire to take a walk there, or at least take public transport along the cemetery wall. Unfortunately, my physical health rarely allows me to do this. I am even surprised to find myself wanting to hear the sounds of that very frightening Chopin march again, in order to experience those emotions again ... And I am interested in this question. It seems to me that the emergence of a manic interest in things or phenomena that cause strong irrational fear is quite natural. What do you think? Looking forward to participating, Max... 41 years

Despite the fact that I am far from being the Minister of Defense, although I am not very shy about myself in expressions, I will refrain from words and comparisons that may offend Mr. Kerry. God forbid to create an international scandal. I am not used to apologizing to presidents and their accomplices, despite the fact that they do not need my apologies. However, as I am in their excuses.

But it is necessary to speak out, and I turn to science for help.

Before me is an article by psychologist Maxim Vlasov. He claims that there are people who are not convinced of anything by any logical reasoning. They are so obsessed with their idea that they follow it unquestioningly. These people are distinguished by rigidity and perseverance. They are sensitive to insults and neglect from others. Such people, according to the specialist, have mental disorders. They are not healthy at all. To our great regret, these people already perceive the surrounding reality inadequately. Such a disease scientifically, please note it to Mr. Kerry and his owner, is called paranoia, which very often borders on fanaticism.

Maxim Vlasov asserts: “The fact is, scientists and doctors are not yet really aware of the causal appearance of paranoia, not the methods of its treatment. And although, of course, paranoia is treated, including through psychotherapy, there are no guarantees of successful recovery of the patient, some argue that this is basically impossible to do ... ".

And then I thought, why be indignant about the crazy speeches and equally crazy statements of Uncle Joe? He's sick, and apparently incurable. You can not take offense at people suffering from a similar ailment.

I am sure that all sane Israelis understand this, except for the "crown duke", who seized power in the workers' party, and the Israeli finance minister, who stands up for the well-being of the middle class in general and one woman in particular. I keep forgetting her name. Well, yes, Gd is with her and with people who are ready to pay for the economic well-being of the "people" with the sacred land of the Jewish state. The main thing is for the Prime Minister of Israel to remember that the land of our country is not "shagreen skin" in its mirror reflection. You cannot bargain with the world for an ephemeral "peace" through territorial concessions in particular and any other concessions to terror in general. Even for economic handouts. It is impossible to tear off a single piece of the "shagreen skin" in exchange for smiles and pats on the shoulder by the anti-Semitic powers. I beg your pardon. The powers have nothing to do with it. I specify - anti-Semitic leaders. Lord, I made a reservation again. How many times has he promised himself not to cut the truth-uterus in the forehead. So no, I could not resist.

Kerry's latest speech is nothing more than a direct blackmail of Israel with a world boycott. In the subtext of his words, there is an overt threat of the cancellation of the American defense of Israel from the attacks of the outside world and the termination of financial and military assistance. Naturally, these threats were not directly voiced. But he who can hear will hear. A senior Israeli government official told the media the following: “Kerry threshes and crumbles Israel like grain in a mortar, demanding constant concessions from us. But at the same time, Abu Mazen did not deviate from his positions even a step and the American representative is obviously quite satisfied with this. "

Undoubtedly satisfied. Only it is not entirely clear to me what makes the Secretary of State of such a great and powerful country to destroy the small state of Israel to a greater extent ?! Anti-Semitism? Injured self-esteem? Or the disease I mentioned above? Or maybe all at once?

And further. “If now, at the stage of formalizing the framework agreement, the US Secretary of State is showing such a one-sided approach, one can imagine what will happen next.

However, if you look at the current situation in cold blood, the international boycott of Israel, which is threatened by Kerry, is not such a powerful weapon in his hands, ”the high-ranking politician said in a morning interview with Kol Israel radio station.

I can not help but quote the statement of the Minister of Economics Naftali Bennett:

“There is no nation in the world who agrees to abandon their state because of the threat of an economic boycott. Economic prosperity for Israel will bring security, not a terrorist state near Ben Gurion Airport. "

Right, minister, right.

Mr. Netanyahu, you understand that your minister is right! Or I'm wrong?
