1.

Complexity is actually very simple. Even in the depths of seemingly completely random behavior, it still follows simple causal laws.

2. Guns, germs and steel

Its subversion is self-evident. The first-Mover advantage of civilization that modern western society is proud of is actually attributed to the profound influence of environment and geography in this book. For a time, the supporters of the theory of racial superiority could not argue, because the physiologist put 13, years of human history into the research evidence of evolutionary biology, anthropology, linguistics, archaeology and many other disciplines, and compared the development speed of various continents and nationalities, which was justified.

3. The Third Chimpanzee

There is no doubt that people are different from animals. The genetic difference between us and chimpanzees is less than 2%, which eventually leads to different paths between man and beast. However, there is no doubt that man is an animal. More than 98% of human genes are identical to chimpanzees, so from the perspective of genetic science, human beings are the third kind of chimpanzees.

4. The book

Influence has an updated content of up to 1, words, including new research and discoveries in behavioral psychology in the past 1 years, and hundreds of new cases in business, management, science and technology, personal growth and family education in the past 5 years.

6. Selfish Genes

has been selling well all over the world since it was first published in 1976. It is one of the top 1 classics in the 2th century, and it is a subversive and revolutionary classic not only in the field of genetics but also in the field of social science.

7. Biography of Rockefeller

Excavated a large number of Rockefeller's public and private life files, revealed a lot of Rockefeller's competitive means, secrets of wealth creation and many little-known family scandals, tragedies and misfortunes, and meticulously portrayed a complex and fascinating character.

8. The Wealth of Nations

criticizes and develops the basic viewpoint of Adam Smith's The Wealth of Nations, combines geography, history, science and technology, philosophy, religion, international politics and traditional culture, analyzes the root causes of wealth creation and the rise and fall of a country at multiple levels, and puts forward that human beings should learn from history and creatively walk out of a person.

9. Negotiation Power

The negotiation project of Harvard University has developed the principle negotiation method. This approach seeks solutions according to the merits of the matter itself, emphasizes the separation of people and things, focuses on interests rather than positions, and allows the negotiation results to be based on some fair standards rather than the will of one party when the interests of both sides conflict.

1. Only the paranoid can survive
