Core Scripture Text:
1. HOW THE MIND WORKS • Your brain is a prediction machine. • It hates uncertainty and fills gaps automatically. • Most decisions come from emotion first, logic second. ________________________________________ 2. NATURE VS NURTURE • Your behavior = genetics + environment. • Not 50/50. It changes depending on the trait. • Some things you’re born with. Some things you learn. Both matter. ________________________________________ 3. PERCEPTION • You don’t see reality. • You see what your brain thinks is useful. • This is why people misunderstand each other constantly. ________________________________________ 4. LEARNING & HABITS • You learn by: 1. Repetition (habits) 2. Rewards 3. Pain • Reward = repeat. Pain = avoid. • Habits run on autopilot to save energy. ________________________________________ 5. MEMORY • Memory is not a video. • It’s reconstructed every time you recall it. • You forget fast unless you repeat with space in between. ________________________________________ 6. MOTIVATION You move for 3 reasons: 1. Pleasure 2. Pain avoidance 3. Purpose (rare but strongest long-term) Short-term = dopamine. Long-term = meaning. ________________________________________ 7. EMOTION • Emotions are fast survival alarms. • They hijack logic. • If you don’t manage emotions, you don’t control your decisions. ________________________________________ 8. DEVELOPMENT • Childhood shapes your default behavior. • Trauma or love creates your baseline reaction to stress, people, and goals. ________________________________________ 9. PERSONALITY • Personality is partly genetic, partly learned. • It stays stable but can slowly change. • Traits: openness, conscientiousness, extroversion, agreeableness, neuroticism. ________________________________________ 10. SOCIAL PSYCHOLOGY People follow: • Group pressure • Authority • Rewards & threats • Social approval • Familiarity Humans copy. Humans conform. Humans want status. ________________________________________ 11. DISORDERS When brain systems malfunction: • Depression = low motivation system • Anxiety = danger detector stuck ON • Bipolar = unstable mood regulation • Addiction = reward system hijacked • Psychopathy = low empathy, high manipulation You don’t need deeper unless studying mental health. ________________________________________ 12. STRESS • Short stress = good. • Long stress = destroys your health, focus, emotions, and habits. ________________________________________ 13. THERAPY Therapy works by: • Awareness • Reframing thoughts • Taking opposite action • Facing avoided problems Most therapy is pattern-breaking. ________________________________________ 14. SCIENCE OF PSYCHOLOGY Psychology uses: • Experiments • Observation • Measurement It’s not guesswork. It’s behavior patterns tested over time. ________________________________________ THE FINAL SUMMARY If you understand these laws, you understand 80% of human behavior: 1. Emotion beats logic. 2. People follow incentives, habits, and groups. 3. Memory lies. 4. Childhood shapes reactions. 5. Brains seek rewards and avoid pain. 6. Everyone filters reality differently. 7. Stress and trauma change behavior. 8. Personality sets your default mode.
