About the author

Public information about Liu Qingshan is limited, and what is available comes mainly from works published under this name. The library holds 12 of his titles, spanning popular science, social and cultural topics, inspirational growth, applied psychology, management, and finance. Representative works include The Lady Tasting Tea, One, Two, Three... Infinity: Facts and Speculations of Science, Naked Statistics, and The Devil's Statistics, which offer accessible explanations of scientific ideas, statistical thinking, and rational judgment. Other titles, such as Indistractable: How to Control Your Attention and Choose Your Life, A Guide to Rational Living, and Lateral Leadership, focus on personal effectiveness, psychological adjustment, and leadership development. His writing is generally aimed at general readers and emphasizes conveying knowledge and training habits of thought, along with practical methods. Because his biography, nationality, and English name remain unconfirmed, this introduction is based only on the work information available in the library.
