　　The book "Murphy's Law" introduces various interesting potential psychological effects of human beings, allowing people to have a deeper understanding of the reasons for human behavior in certain situations, among which the most representative is "Murphy's Law". Murphy's Law was proposed by an American engineer, Edward Murphy, in 1949. He proposed that if there are two or more ways to do something, and one of them will lead to disaster, then someone will definitely make that choice. The fundamental content of Murphy's Law is that if there is a possibility of things getting worse, no matter how small the possibility is, it will always happen. Murphy's Law, Parkinson's Law, and Peter's Principle are collectively known as the three great discoveries of Western culture in the 20th century.

In addition to Murphy's Law, Lawyer Cao Mingzhe also introduced other classic psychological effects, management laws, and rules that have inspired us from aspects such as self-awareness, economic management, and career life, such as Occam's Razor Law, Workplace Behavior Guidelines, Horse Fly Effect, Davydo's Law, Johor's Law, Hedgehog's Law, Beer Effect, 28's Law, and Business Law. At the same time, combining the difficulties and common mistakes that lawyers often encounter in their work, explaining seemingly difficult and obscure laws and regulations thoroughly and clearly can provide us with very beneficial insights for deepening our understanding of human nature, society, and others.

The "Murphy's Law" shared by Lawyer Cao Mingzhe this time is particularly precious during the current special epidemic control period. It not only strengthens communication between lawyers, but more importantly, provides us with spiritual comfort through books. During the period when we are unable to go out due to the epidemic, everyone can wait for good news while reading, which is also the significance of holding a book club first.
