Being a person is a challenge everyone faces. Why are some people successful in their interactions, while others fail? Throughout history, those who achieve greatness have a correct understanding of themselves. Elegantly put, it is "a person of worth has self-awareness"; crudely put, it is knowing who you are and how much you can eat in one meal. In economic terms, it means accurately assessing your abilities and value. Since childhood, we have been taught to contribute to society and realize our life's value. Have we achieved our life's value? How can we realize it? How great is our value? Many of us may not be entirely clear. The real world is complex and ever-changing, and people often lose their way and feel lost. Economics can help people correctly understand themselves and the world, making rational choices and decisions, avoiding detours, and minimizing losses. This book attempts to reveal the roots of success and failure in being a person from an economic perspective, encouraging readers to think and position themselves more rationally in life, make reasonable choices about their life paths, and maximize life's rewards and happiness.
