About the author

Public information about Liu Yan is currently limited; details such as nationality, dates of birth and death, and educational background are not clearly recorded. Judging from the four works held in the collection, Liu Yan writes accessible nonfiction spanning applied psychology, social psychology, finance and economics, and health, aimed at general readers dealing with practical problems in daily life. Representative titles include Do I Need to See a Therapist?, Speak Your Mind Boldly: How to Express Yourself and Speak Up in Work and Life (2nd Edition), From Knot-Recording to the Digital Economy Era, and Stop Complaining: How to Escape Mental Exhaustion and Embrace Good Relationships. These titles suggest an interest in seeking psychological help, self-expression, interpersonal relationships and emotional regulation, as well as general-interest financial writing that ranges from early knot-recording to the digital economy. The style tends toward question-based, action-oriented openings and plain language with a self-help flavor, suited to readers hoping to improve their mental state and communication skills.
