Chapter 1: The Entrance to Psychology – A Map that Unravels the Wonders of the Mind

1.1 What is "science of the mind"?

Psychology is a discipline that tries to properly understand our "minds" and "actions" rather than simply thinking vaguely, just like we observe them in a laboratory. The "mind" here refers to the entire inner world, including feelings of joy, sadness, what we think in our heads, and what we feel at times of our unconsciousness. And "action" refers to what we do normally, such as talking or walking. Psychology gently unravels why we feel that way and why we behave that way.

There are two main ways to psychology. One is the path of "basic psychology," which explores universal mental tendencies, just as if to unravel the mechanisms of the mind.

The other is the path to "applied psychology," which uses mental knowledge to solve the worries and problems we face in our daily lives.

Basic psychology tries to understand the mechanisms of the mind from the very heart, while applied psychology tries to use that knowledge to solve concrete problems. Both are important guides to helping us live better.
