At the beginning of the year, I made a reading plan to read 50 books a year. At present, the time is just over half and the goal is more than half achieved. Because I have to work during the day, after putting my children to bed every day, my reading time is from 23:00 to 0:30.

At the beginning of 2000, I made a reading plan to read 50 books a year. At present, the time is just over half and the goal is more than half completed.

Because I have to work during the day, after putting my children to bed every day, my reading time is from 23:00 to 0:30. The general pattern is theme reading + cross-reading. The theme reading in this half year mainly focuses on three topics: urban area, technological innovation and personal growth. Generally, after reading a book with a lot of useful information, you will cross-read a relaxing book to refresh your mind. For example, after spending half a month reading "What Humans Should Be: Three Thousand Years of Human Thought History", I spent two hours reading "One Year Makes Ten Years". I read the essence of the book and the water-filled book with flower arrangement. The overall feeling is that it is beneficial to open the book.

1. I mainly read the following books on personal growth topics:

"Underlying Logic" (written by Lu Bai Hunan Literature and Art Publishing House )

"Planning the Best Year" (Michael Hyatt Tianjin People's Publishing House) )

"Jianjin 3: Find Your Potential Ecological Niche" (Jiangsu Phoenix Literature and Art Publishing House)

"There is Only One Most Important Thing" ([US] Gary Keller/Jay Papason CITIC Publishing )

"One Year Makes Ten Years" (written by Zhihan Yimao, Beijing United Publishing Company)

"Cognitive Awakening: Unlocking the driving force for self-change" (written by Zhou Ling People's Posts and Telecommunications Press )

"Structured Expression" (written by Huang Manyu, Machinery Industry Press )

"Everything Starts from the Goal" (Mizuno Xuetiandi Publishing House)

Among them, the one that inspired me the most is "Cognitive Awakening: The driving force for self-change" "Underlying Logic" and "The Most Important Thing Is Only One" are three books. "Cognitive Awakening: Unlocking the driving force for self-change" has subverted a lot of my cognition. It is quite enjoyable to read and I have benefited a lot from epistemology . "Underlying Logic" and "The Most Important Thing Is Only One" gave me great inspiration and benefited a lot in methodology.

Among them, "Structured Expression" and "Everything Starts with a Goal", I feel a little disappointed, the essence is a bit low, and basically there is not much gain after reading it. Among them, I especially want to talk about the book "One Year Makes Ten Years". Judging from the publicity of this book, I had high expectations for this book. Unexpectedly, after reading it, I found that it was basically a compilation of bits and pieces. Reading, like a collection of sleep talking, is not only a huge disappointment. This can be regarded as a lesson. In the future, when choosing a book, you must not just look at the reputation, but the content should come first.

2. I mainly read the following books on the topic of urban areas:

"The Deconstruction of Urban Areas and the Development Trend of China's Urban Areas" (written by China Fortune Industry Research Institute Tsinghua University Press )

"The Rise of Cities: Development of Urban Areas in the New Era" Observation" (Jia Baosheng Chongqing Press )

"City of a Great Power", ( Qin Shuo , Zhejiang University Press )

"Interaction and industrial development between cities within the metropolitan area: Taking the Shanghai metropolitan area as an example 》 (written by Luo Shougui and Li Wenqiang Shanghai People's Publishing House )

"The Evolution of Metropolis" (Yu Yingying, Shanghai People's Publishing House)

"Evaluation of the Comprehensive Development Capabilities of China's Metropolitan Areas" (Army Waiting Peking University Press )

Among them, the book "Evaluation of the Comprehensive Development Capacity of China's Metropolitan Areas" is more systematic, comprehensive and objective, and has more useful information; the book "Interaction and Industrial Development between Cities within the Metropolitan Area: Taking the Shanghai Metropolitan Area as an Example" is completely about playing with mathematics. The model is pretty rubbish. "The Rise of Cities: Observations on the Development of Urban Areas in the New Era" and "Cities of Great Powers" are two books with a personal perspective. Although they are not systematic enough, their writing style is good and they are relatively easy to read.

3. I mainly read the following books on scientific and technological innovation topics:

"China's Advantage" ( Wang Yuquan by CITIC Publishing Group)

"History of Innovation and Evolution" (by Carles Juma Guangdong People's Publishing House )

"The Truth of Innovation" (written by Xie Yun, Machinery Industry Press)

These three books are all full of original insights from different angles. The book "China's Advantage" believes that in the current global innovation ecosystem, China is the most important The capability is OEM production, and one of the core advantages of China's manufacturing is its mass production capability; "History of Innovation and Evolution" said that some new technologies are faced with being questioned and resisted, which can last as long as decades, or even Centuries; "The Truth about Innovation" says that if we peel back the gorgeous coat that innovation, especially the original innovation, has put on after its success, what we will see is likely to be scars.

After reading this for half a year, from the perspective of the three topics of reading, I have three outstanding gains: First, I have a new impression of Zhengzhou Metropolitan Area (maybe because I have settled in Zhengzhou, I have a bit of a preference. From several books about urban areas, We can still see some bright spots and potential), the second is to subvert the understanding of technological innovation (in the past, I always felt that innovation was a field full of flowers, applause and brilliance, but I didn’t expect there to be so much hardship behind it), and the third is to abandon the understanding of technological innovation. Preconceptions about personal growth books (in the past, I was stuck with the perception of personal growth books as inspirational chicken soup. It may be that reading books like Zhang Meng’s before affected my judgment. From these I have read recently, I can learn some insights and methods from them. The essence of the book, such as "Underlying Logic", "The Only One Most Important Thing", "Cognitive Awakening" and other books, has unlocked many techniques for improving work efficiency and time management. For example, there are task lists, expenses Man skills, knowledge correlation, etc.

The study plan for the first half of the year has been successfully completed. In the second half of the year, I am going to adjust my strategy and study in a different way.
