I just started learning several complex variables and I'm a little bit confused. I just read that every pluriharmonic function is harmonic and I can't find any proof of that. Please help.

Pluriharmonic is harmonic

A function in pluriharmonic if its restriction to every complex line (one-dimensional affine subspace) is harmonic. In particular, a pluriharmonic function is harmonic in each (complex) variable separately, i.e. $$ \frac{\partial^2 f}{\partial z_j\partial \bar z_j} = 0 $$ for each $j$. Hence $$ \sum_{j=1}^n \frac{\partial^2 f}{\partial z_j\partial \bar z_j} = 0 $$ so $f$ is indeed harmonic.
