WE DO NOT MOVE UNLESS WE ARE BOTHERED: the most brilliant discovery in human nature, every single human motion relates to a bothersome. We remain immobile if nothing bothers us.
Imagine sitting on the sofa in your living room, completely comfortable with nothing at all to bother you. You are not hungry, thirsty, or tired. You are not cold, hot, or sick. The telephone doesn't ring. You are not worried about bills coming due or your job or business. You are not bored or sleepy and absolutely nothing makes you uncomfortable, worried, excited, or upset. You are simply and continuously calm and comfortable sitting on that sofa. Would you make any movement if nothing bothered you?
WHAT WOULD BE THE FIRST MOTION OF OUR BODIES IF NOTHING BOTHERS US? Our actions depend on our balance. We perform motions only when we lose our balance and we remain immobile when we are in balance.
When you see a beggar, you lose your balance (comfort) and you give him or her a dollar to regain your balance. Someone gives you a flower and you say thank you to regain you balance. How would you feel if you didn't say thank you when someone gave you a flower? Obviously, you would feel uncomfortable and imbalanced.
WHAT HAPPENS IN OUR MINDS WHEN WE INITIATE MOTIONS? We perform motions based on the potential outcomes of our joy and suffering. There is constant evaluation of joy and suffering in our brains and we perform motions where there is more enjoyment and less suffering. In other words, the sum of the outcome of our wants and fears determines our motions.
PROBLEMS CREATE IMBALANCE AND WANTS IN US. WE PERFORM MOTIONS TO REGAIN OUR BALANCE. SUFFERING AND JOY ARE ASSOCIATED WITH EACH MOTION AND THAT'S HOW LIFE BEGINS AND CONTINUES. life is nothing but repetition of suffering and joy. If we eliminate problems from our lives, we eliminate joy and happiness as well.
Further experiment proves: Actions and reactions are chemical, not psychological. Feelings constitute a certain chemical process in the brain and there is nothing beyond our bodies such as emotions. Depression, anxiety, mania--and other so-called mental disorders--are the result of chemical imbalance, so what does that say about human nature? Behaviology, a revolutionary new branch of science analyzing human behavior, suggests that the potential outcome of our wants and fears determines our motions.
Rafii lays out seven rules about human behavior:

• We always want to be comfortable (balanced).
• We move only when we lose our balance.
• Loss of balance always creates want in us.
• Every motion is associated with suffering and joy.
• More suffering leads to more joy.
• The outcome of want and fear determines motion.
• Personality, physicality, and mental and environmental conditions determine desires and fears, and we move based on the sum of the outcomes of those desires and fears.

The above discoveries opened a new window into the world of psychology and this book is an advanced powerful tool for analyzing human behavior.
