Social mentality is a reflection of social reality. It is obviously difficult to use management thinking to ask people to use "rational thinking" instead of "emotional expression" and "calm psychology" to drive away "anxiety and doubts". For the ruling party, it is necessary to advocate citizens to establish a good spiritual outlook, attach importance to "intangible" psychological counseling, actively solve those "tangible" problems, and let fair and just social reality provide real "chicken soup for the soul." After the "social mentality" was historically written into the "Twelfth Five-Year Plan", "cultivating enterprising, rational, peaceful, open and inclusive social mentality" is rapidly entering the task list of governments at all levels. A good social mentality is very important to a nation at any time. The reason why it is highly valued today is that the development of China, Maine has reached a critical period: what kind of "big country mentality" attracts attention due to the international ranking of the world's second largest economy; The target content of a well-off society makes the promotion of the "happiness gene" of the public even heavier. In this regard, the social mentality not only points to the "soft power" of future development, but also carries the specific demands of "people-oriented". Anxiety, doubt, confusion and loss, cynical thinking, money worship ... the imbalance of social mentality in the rapid transformation is our challenge. Although these popular emotions have not become the mainstream of social thoughts, they are in conflict with the process of social development and reform. Grasping and adjusting social mentality has naturally become a ruling challenge. However, scanning the shaping path of "cultivating a healthy social mentality" in various places, we find some phenomena worthy of attention: in some places, there is a "formulation" but no "concept", only staying in slogans and gestures; In some places, the mentality problem is economized, thinking that "more money can make people's mentality better"; Some places believe that the key to "self-cultivation" lies in people's self-repair, and blindly blame psychological problems on people's irrationality, restlessness and impatience.
