So let us understand the laws of human nature in detail.

1. Law of irrationality

The laws of human nature describes our emotional attachment to the decision. Instead of seeing the world through the lens of logic, we turn to emotions to express the discomfort of a problem that demands our attention. Unfortunately, this is something that is not inherited. Only the mindset can be made such that the maximum effect can be achieved.

You are unaware of how deeply your emotions influence you. Logic has the ability to reduce its impact, to think instead of react, to open the mind to what is actually happening, exactly the opposite of what you feel. This does not come naturally, it is a power that we have to develop.

There are three steps to start walking the path of logic:

Step 1

Recognize the biases

There are a few things you should know: confirmation bias, conviction bias, appearance bias, group bias, blame bias, and superiority bias. superiority bias).

Step 2

Be careful of inflaming factors:

Childhood trigger points: Watch out for childish haste and character actions.
Sudden gains and losses: counter them with pessimism or optimism; We underestimate the role of luck.
Increasing pressure: People work differently under pressure.
Arousing people: Stay away from people who arouse a lot of emotion in you.
Group Effect: Beware of large groups and suppress your power to think for yourself.

Step 3

Strategies to bring out the rational self:

understand yourself properly
Examine your emotions to the root, where they originate from.
Increase your reaction time, prepare yourself to retreat.
Understand people as they are, avoid emotional points.
Maintain a balance between thinking and emotions, maintain a balance between doubt and curiosity.
Love logic, preparing yourself like this will bring peace and clarity.

2. Law of narcissism

We have to admit that we are all self-obsessed, at least to some extent. While explaining your plan, you try to praise yourself to reduce people’s interruptions.

Also be careful of people who attack you first and drag you into their drama, be careful of the hidden intentions of such people.

Narcissist spectrum – We must be true to our own nature and not deny it. We are all narcissistic. We have to develop our own empathy and for that we have to develop 4 skills:

Empathetic attitude: You can start by assuming you don’t know anything. Learn to be curious to hear other people’s points of view.
Visceral empathy: Pay attention to moods, which are driven by body language and tone of voice. Empathy can also be gained by behaving like people (mirroring people).
Analytic empathy: Gather information about the early days of the people you’re trying to understand, and learn about their relationships with their parents and siblings.
Empathetic Skill: One thing to remember for this skill, the faster you meet people, the better you will be, and the more kind of people you meet, the more versatile your skill will become.

3. Role playing rules

You don’t need anyone to tell you that people wear different niqabs for every occasion. However, they often reveal their true intentions through things like their facial expressions, body posture, and nervous gestures.

To detect these insecurities, you have to be one step ahead of them.

Art of impression management:

Build self-confidence, smile, and be like the people you meet.
Learn how to put yourself in the right emotional mood.
Adapt yourself to people’s style and taste.
Pay more attention to your first appearance.
Don’t let your appearance be known.
Show yourself to be progressive, tolerant and open-minded.

4. Law of compulsive behavior

Actually it is difficult to understand the character of people. If we understand this properly, people will keep singing the same tune their whole life. You have to bear it in your mind and grow attached to people who show strength and courage.

Being careful of your negative patterns will keep you away from bad people. If you follow it, this rule will make you better.

When choosing people to engage and work with, don’t be swayed by their reputation or the image they want to project. Rather, train yourself to look deeper into their situation and see their character.

Understand their ability to deal with problems, work with people, their patience and ability to learn. A man of strong character is like gold – rare but priceless. They adapt, learn and improve themselves.

5. Law of covetousness

This is strange but true. This shows why humans bend to grab an object that slips from their hands. You can use this momentum to create a mysterious aura around you and take advantage of that situation.

This is a better way to become a role model and gain respect. People love to know unknown things and playing by these rules can benefit you.

Attendance and absenteeism have a deep impact on us. Too much presence becomes suffocating, and a little absence increases our interest.

Create a little mystery around yourself, use strategic absence, so that people want you back and want to be like you. Show people what they’re missing in life, and what they need to do, and they’ll go crazy with that desire.

6. Law of shortsightedness

For some people it becomes too much to maintain long-term. They are attracted by recent trends and opinions. These people who cannot see beyond their nose often fall into the shortsighted category. Stay away from such people and stay with people who have long term goals.

It is in your nature to be most influenced by what you hear and see in the present – the latest news, the opinions and actions of those around you, which are the most dramatic. Learn to judge people from their perspective, avoid people who cannot see the results of their actions. They will impress you with this energy.

Never lose sight of your long-term goals. With a good attitude, you will have the patience and clarity to reach every objective.

Four signs of short-sightedness and strategies to get out of it:

Unintended consequences: In every group or team, put at least one person in charge of handling every possible consequence of any strategy, preferably with a prudent mind.
Tactical hell: You will find yourself embroiled in many conflicts or battles. You have lost your long-term vision, which is what you are really fighting for. Instead, it becomes a question of boosting your ego and proving yourself right. The only solution is to walk away from these fights, especially if they happen frequently. Win by your actions and not by your words. Start thinking again about your long-term goals.
Ticker tape fever: When we face any kind of trouble or obstacle, we should try to slow things down and take a step back, wait for a day or two before taking steps. And while facing these problems, we should know clearly what our long-term goals are and how to achieve them.
Lost in trivia: You get worried because your work is difficult. You want to be on top of things so you can get a better handle on things, but you’re drowning in information. You need a mental filtering system that is based on priorities and long-term goals. Knowing what you want in the end will help you sort out what you need from your junk.

7. Law of defensiveness

Needless to say, with time people have become defensive and get angry when someone talks about change. If you want to reduce their inhibitions, you have to encourage them to change their attitudes without angering them.

If you want to achieve your goals quickly, you will have to be creative. Explain your good intentions and make them feel that they are in control of their opinions and patterns.

Life is difficult and people are competitive. We should take care of our interests. We also want to feel like we are independent and do our own thing. So when people want to change us, we become defensive and resistant.

Therefore, to remove people from their defensive position, you have to show that whatever they are doing is of their own free will. Never attack people for their beliefs or make them feel insecure about their intelligence and goodness. Learn to control your stubborn nature and free your mind from defensive and closed positions, so that your creative power can awaken.

8. Law of self-sabotage

Show exactly how you feel. By limiting yourself solely to negativity and fear, everyone you share anything with will pick up on your habit. Such an attitude will reduce your chances of success. It may sound a bit cliché, but a positive attitude is what stands between you and success.

Cultivating such a mindset can help you get the best out of everything, and help you find opportunities even where people see traps.

We all have a different way of looking at the world, understanding things and understanding the actions of the people around us. This is our attitude and because of this everything happens to us in our life. If our attitude is fearful then we only see negativity in everything. We stop ourselves from taking chances. We hold others responsible for our mistakes and do not learn from them.

We spoil our career and relationships by unknowingly creating the situations we fear the most. However, human nature is malleable. By changing our attitude to be a little more positive, open and tolerant of people, we can reach a different world. We can create new opportunities and attract people towards us.

9. Law of Repression

People are not what they appear to be. It is in their nature to try to hide the darkness in their hearts. Before understanding overall ignorance, one must first look at one’s dark side.

By understanding this enigmatic side of yourself, you reach a point where you can become an observer. This work has a big role in bringing people to you.

This dark side is reflected in your behavior and harms you. Learn to understand your shadow’s signals before they become toxic. By incorporating the dark side into your personality, you will become a complete human being.

10. Law of envy

Today’s society supports the struggle for position, status and achievement. However, it increases stubbornness, which can cause irritation.

Some people just hope to copy the success of others, but not everyone. Comparing yourself to others only reduces your value and puts your position in society at risk. Remember, actions speak louder than words.

We humans do compare ourselves with others. We constantly measure people’s status, the amount of respect and attention they receive, and notice the difference between what we have and what they have. For some of us, it’s a sign of becoming better, through our work.

For others, it can cause deep irritation and these emotions can cause great harm. Learn to eliminate irritation by diverting attention from yourself. Increase your worth and not compare.

11. Law of grandeur

Human beings, like all humans, have a habit of thinking about many things. This also includes our greed for success, which is linked to high social status. Often these thoughts take a very big shape, which is far from the real truth.

In our efforts to be better, we lose sight of reality, due to which we take decisions without logic and are limited only to imagination. To be successful, your attitude must be in line with your contribution and the value you bring to other people’s lives.

Often our small success increases our thinking about growing up to a dangerous level. We have forgotten the role of luck and the contribution of other people. Far from truth, we make decisions without logic, hence, our success often does not last.

We have to reduce this thinking of being bigger than others in ourselves and maintain the reality within our limitations. Keep your feelings of being great linked to your work, achievements and contribution to society.

12. Law of gender rigidity

In truth, it is not as easy as controlling men and women by waving a magic wand. You have to work on yourself and understand how it impacts your thinking and makes you strong and predictable in day to day situations.

By erasing the traces of this energy of men and women, you present your authentic version to the world. In simple words, by avoiding the temptation to play gender roles, you can reach success faster.

We all have male and female characteristics – some genetic, and some inherited from parents of the other gender. But to get an identity in the society, we keep changing these characteristics, identifying the roles of man and woman, what is expected of us and we pay the price for it.

We lose our character. You must discover these lost qualities and reconnect with them to become creative forces.

13. Law of aimlessness

In this digital age, sometimes people have to push themselves to deal with temporary disappointments and failures. Constant defeat is not the only reason for losing direction, but it is most of the time. Short term mindset leads us to fear, which can haunt us in the long term.

Therefore, playing without a goal can be very dangerous. Vision and imagining the future is the best way to fight this senseless feeling.

We humans have to depend on our conscious decisions. When it comes to career path and handling our failures in life, we do the best we can. But in our minds we can feel a sense of lack of direction.

The best way to avoid this is to increase your sense of purpose, and use this information to guide you. Even our doubts and failures have a purpose, to strengthen us. With this energy and direction, our work gains tremendous power.

14. Law of conformity

People want to give the impression of being confident and self-sufficient. Due to fear of evil, they imitate the crowd. The more we want to move away from this group mentality, the more there is no point of return left in our lives. In doing so we lose our uniqueness and feel bad.

There is a side to our character that we are unaware of, the person we become among groups of people. In this group setting, we unconsciously start copying what people do or say.

We take more risks because everyone else is doing it. Our social personality dominates who we are. By listening to others so much, we gradually start losing our separateness and the power to think for ourselves. The solution is to increase self-awareness. With this society we can become excellent social actors, who can fit in and cooperate with others, while still maintaining our independence and reason.

15. Law of fickleness

Prepare yourself for rough treatment when you take on the role of a leader. Every mistake you make is an opportunity for someone else to step in and take your crown. The situation is to stay connected to your land and face these attacks.

In this process, your authority will be questioned, and your status will become a subject of inquiry. The person handling this huge power should help the people to show himself as a true leader. Experienced leaders practice this art because they know its side effects.

However, leadership styles have changed with time. One thing remains the same, people are always ambitious for those in power. They want to lead but they also want to feel free, they want to be secure and enjoy success without making sacrifices.

When you are the leader of a group, people constantly provoke you at the moment when you are feeling weak. Don’t think about what you need to do to earn their loyalty, because that means being their equal or their friend. People will doubt your competence, be mysterious as to your intentions, and respond with veiled condemnation. If you want to lead, master this art. Once you gain the trust of your people, they will stand by you no matter how bad the situation is.

16. Law of aggression

The world needs your energy, people try their best to make you better. They try to fulfill their desires by promoting different people and claiming to be superior to them. Dealing with such groups requires expertise.

If you remain an observer of these aggressive moves, you will be able to stand your ground even when things start getting out of hand. Aggressive energy is not bad. If you can master it, it keeps you engaged and determined despite temporary setbacks.

The people around you seem very civilized and polite on the surface, but beneath this mask they are facing a lot of frustrations. You should see the unsatisfied aggressive desires of the people. They depend on you being emotional, aggressive and not letting you think, don’t give them that power.

When it comes to your aggressive energy, you must learn to control it and use it for productive purposes, standing up for yourself, attacking problems, and realizing bigger ambitions.

17. Law of Generational Myopia

Generation gap is not a lie, because every new generation creates its own values and agenda. It shapes the behavior of its members and deploys them to have a powerful impact on the world. The problem is that, again, we’re doing it at the expense of our spontaneity. We are holding ourselves back in terms of being creative, without doubting these concepts.

The generation you are born into tells more about who you are than you can imagine. Your generation wants to set itself apart from the previous generation and be a new tune for the world. Your job is to understand who you are and how you see the world. You can be the one who sets the new trends that your generation is hungry for.

18. Law of death denial

Death is upon us all and it is true. Being aware of the unpredictability of this is a really powerful tool you can have. This helps you create a sense of urgency, which provides fuel to your daily tasks. Training your brain to think this way is also a great way to get results quickly.

Most of us live life ignoring the thought of death. Rather, this should always be in our minds. The realization of the shortness of life fills us with our sense of purpose and makes us realize the urgency of our goals.

This also gives us a sense of proportion, what really matters in this short life. Many people constantly try to separate themselves from others, whereas we should consider all of us the same and see how this connects us all as equals.
