  1. Keeping secrets is one of the greatest weaknesses known to mankind. For centuries, interrogators used subtle psychological techniques to extract facts or information from suspects and witnesses faster than applying physical pressure or torture. According to psychologists, the average time a woman keeps a secret is 47 hours and 15 minutes. Men can extend the confidentiality a bit, and sometimes it takes longer.

  2. Rejection and humiliation are the greatest forms of suffering that humans can endure. The chemical effects of these feelings or emotions are similar to personal injury. Therefore, the human brain can handle the pain of rejection and humiliation just like physical pain.

  3. When we realize that there are some urgent, stubborn or unresolved problems in our brain, our brain will not fall asleep. Now that you have taken a break from your daily activities, the subconscious part of your brain will take over trying and solving these "stubborn" thoughts. In most cases, "stubborn" thoughts will make you lose your sweet sleep, which will make you sick if left untreated. If you can’t stop thinking at night, just stand up and write it down in your notebook. This will ease your mind and free your brain so you can fall asleep.

  4. Today, most marriages fail faster than at any other period in history, and most people actually think that marriages are no longer valid. According to research, marrying your best friend can reduce the risk of divorce by more than 70%, and this kind of marriage is more likely to last a lifetime.

  5. Multiple personality disorders are not necessarily harmful to you. In fact, they can bring you great blessings. For example, people who speak multiple languages ​​will unconsciously change their personality when they switch from one language to another in a similar way to people with multiple personality disorders.

  6. During the discussion, you can easily detect whether someone agrees with your opinion. When two people talk to each other, and one of them moves their foot slightly or repeatedly moves one foot outward, this can easily indicate a disagreement, or they want to leave.

  7. Happiness is as elusive as gold. But becoming happy is closer to you than you know. Compared with women who have no or no male friends, women who have most of their male friends have much longer periods of joy. The same is true for men with more female friends than male friends.

  8. They say that change is as good as rest. Studies have shown that travel can improve brain health and reduce the risk of heart disease and depression more than any other known treatment.

  9. When people talk about what they are passionate about, they actually look more attractive than they actually are. This is one of the greatest thought hackers in life.

  10. Psychology is one of the biggest mysteries in life, mainly because it processes the inner emotions of the human brain. People who feel guilty are more likely to understand the thoughts and feelings of others than those who are self-righteous.
