The Chinese character for this "fire" is "火불 화," which literally means expressing your anger like a fierce flame, unlike usual. This anger often ignites in the other person and escalates into a fight. After fighting like that for a while, you may wonder, "Was this really worth fighting about?" and even forget why you started fighting in the first place. There is no winner or loser, and the verbal abuse you exchange during the fight only leaves scars on each other's hearts and reduces your affection. However, if you look closely at these cases, you will often find that a trivial dispute is the starting point of the fight, and the problem actually lies elsewhere. The book I’m introducing today is [The Elephant Behind the Mosquito]. The author of this book, Ernstfried Harnisch, has been providing counseling and treatment for 40 years in Munich, Germany, and has been training psychotherapists while pursuing an integrated treatment method for various psychological disorders. Eva Wunderer, another author of this book, is also a professor of social welfare psychology at Landshut University and works as a couples and family counseling psychotherapist. There is a German proverb that says, “Don’t make every mosquito into an elephant!” This is used when you exaggerate or overreact to something for no reason. The title of this book, [The Elephant Behind the Mosquito], is a bit different in meaning from this proverb. It means that the cause of a problem may seem trivial on the outside, but behind it, like an elephant, there is a fundamental cause of anger. The authors say that if you investigate the cause of behavior that makes you excited by trivial things, you will find that your basic human needs have already been damaged before the thing that caused the excitement. They try their best to protect themselves from the ongoing hurt, but often times, they don't get much out of it. In order to escape from this anger, they need to know what their basic needs are hidden behind the cause of their excitement and take appropriate thoughts and actions to respect those needs. In other words, people don't get excited over trivial things for no reason. This book explains the causes, developments, and solutions to this topic using four different cases. *All videos on this channel were produced with permission from the copyright holder. *This content was produced with the creator's commentary and review of the book.
