【Reading Notes】The influence of temperature is not just hot and cold - "Being a warm person - How temperature affects our life, behavior, health and relationships"

We all like to make friends with warm and kind people, and we will try to stay away from cold and mean people, but why are the words "warm, warm, cold, cold" used to describe a person's character or attitude, all related to "temperature"?

Social psychologist Eiseman has proved through countless scientific studies how temperature affects our behavior, relationships and health invisibly, from language and habits to social culture and human history. These wonderful examples of thermoregulation, and its significant impact on human civilization, will allow us to see who we are as living creatures and human beings.

"The psychological 'coldness and warmth' may be related to the actual body sensation", a rarely studied but definitely worth exploring beginning, let's be a warm person - how temperature affects our life, behavior, Health and Relationships easily piques readers' curiosity. Before starting the text, I would like to thank Corona, the marketing plan of the Times Publishing Business Humanities Line, for providing a trial reading opportunity, so that more readers have the opportunity to see this work.

Just a cup of hot tea can make people feel more intimate

As a work exploring temperature and psychological states, the author Hans Rocha Eisemann started out with many experiments to try to show that temperature is not just cold or hot, but affects human feelings, behaviors, and even It's a matter of life and death. Among them, there are phenomena such as "just holding hot coffee will make people feel closer to others", "the cold courtroom may make the suspect's sense of alienation increase" and other phenomena, which make people feel incredible about the influence of temperature.

Not only psychology, because the influence mechanism of temperature perception and psychological state is relatively complex, the book has pondered on biology, human history, language, etc., and many knowledge and habits of biology are explained, which also increases the interest of the content. Especially when it comes to thermoregulation, the passage that mentions koalas sticking to the surface of some kind of tree to lower their body temperature makes people smile while passing on knowledge.

Knowledgeable works that require patience

However, as an intellectual work, "Being Warm" is not an easy book to read, and some reviews even compare it to a paper. However, compared with ordinary papers, it may be because there are too many things to talk about and the fields are too diverse. The content of the whole book is relatively divergent, and many studies are only pointed to, and there are many proper terms, although a lot of life is interspersed. Examples, biological introductions, especially in the paragraphs of academic discourse, still consume the patience of many readers.

Social thermoregulation is as important for survival as it is for thriving. It is a concept, a phenomenon, a mechanism that allows us to see the essence of what we are born as creatures and human beings. Social thermoregulation gives us insight into our true selves: we are creatures who need each other and translate that need into community and nation, society and civilization.

Understand the influence of temperature and learn to be a "warm person"

Whether it’s the lifestyle where everyone huddled together to keep warm before the advent of central air conditioners, or the mother hugging a baby, maintaining body temperature has always been an important issue for human survival, and it also implies the inevitable social connection in life. . Especially in today's age when technology is prevalent and the actual communication between people is gradually weakening, "Being a Warm Person" is like a "temperature journey", which brings us a better understanding of the influence of temperature on ourselves, and can even be applied in our daily life to make Readers can become more "warm people".
