One book, one method, one tool: After reading a lot of books, I quickly forgot. What is the meaning of reading?

Many people take it for granted that the contents of the books and articles they have read will be stored in their brains for granted; the actual situation is that after reading, many people feel that they have read a lot, and their heads are empty afterwards. .

At this time, people can't help asking us what is the meaning of reading?

read a lot of books but forgot.

1. Why do I read a lot of books but forget them all?

1. It comes from not wanting to read a book, and itching

As the saying goes, remember to forget fast, remember to forget slowly; this is for the previous mechanical memory, because the number of times that remembering slow needs to be consolidated Many, according to the rules of memory, the things remembered are harder to forget.

The same goes for us in reading. Short reading time means less investment in thinking, and it is easy to forget; while reading time is long, investment in thinking is longer, and it is easier to remember the knowledge points in the book.

Many people quickly forget after reading, the essence of which is just flipping through it. The neurons of the brain just touch randomly and do not form a connection through thinking.

2. Forgetting to filter out is the real information

"Thinking and Organizing Method" mentions that forgetting is the best screening machine for thinking and organizing.

The peak-end law tells us that after watching a movie, there are only two points that leave the deepest impression: one is the highest peak point, which is the most brilliant climax point in the movie, and the other is the end point. It is the inspiration and harvest that it brings us.

This law tells us that we need to keep forgetting if we want our brains to become extremely efficient factories.

Learning is learning, forgetting is also a kind of learning, and those things that are really interesting to us will not be forgotten; we eat too much and go to the toilet, and thinking needs to be sorted out. only passed the test of time differentiation. Forgetting to filter out is the most important information.

3. The information that has been read is not disassembled and thought about

We read books as if we know a piece of cake. Many times we put more energy on tasting cakes instead of In-depth analysis of its raw materials and production process; so we taste the food is at most a diners rather than gourmets.

The reading process is a process of restoring first-hand information. The unprocessed news, etc. is the first-hand information; many times the various abstracts we read are the first-hand information and the second-hand information; and the things that are considered and sublimated are the third-hand information. .

What we need is to constantly dismantle the ladder, sort out the third-hand information, quantify, summarize, delete the complicated, and find the core, regular, principle, and low-level logical things, such as metacognitive knowledge. What we need to master is the same as the mathematical formula we need to master.

2. What is the meaning of reading?

1. Reading is one’s own eyes, learn from previous experience

When it comes to learning from previous experience by reading, we recommend two types of books most:

one is about history Related books such as " Shiji", " Twenty Four History", " Zizhi Tongjian", " Ming Dynasty Those Things" and so on;

is about personal biography , such as " Zeng Guofan Biography", " Ren Zhengfei Biography", "Wang Yangming Biography", "Steve Jobs Biography", "Napoleon Biography" and so on.

Our life is only a hundred years, if we want to live our life well, we need to make as few detours as possible. This requires that we need to learn from others. needs to read social history, read the history of others to read history wisely, to learn from history, to understand human nature through reading, to improve our thinking and pattern, and to alert us. History is a mirror to see reality. Your own self, so that you are no longer confused and get out of the predicament.

2. Reading is my own assistant and provides a guide
Reading in student days is more for exams, we call academic reading; while adults go to society to read more for use, we It is called practical reading.

Reading in society is more to solve real-life problems.

From marriage to childbirth, from employees to leaders, as our identities continue to change, we need to learn more to adapt to the development of our role, otherwise the ability and position will not match and we will be eliminated.

We need to learn a lot, from how to fall in love to how to educate children, from how to improve workplace skills to how to manage well, every step of the transition requires us to read and learn.

Become a social person, who can really help you, only by yourself, only by reading, and only by making yourself more powerful.

3. Reading is one's own wings, injecting momentum for take-off

Reading is for knowledge, and reading is for vision.Reading is for inspiration.

In many cases, we can broaden the boundaries of cognition by reading books, discover cross-border connections, and finally realize unique cross-border skills.

Take an example: Meituan Wang Xing, he is able to break out of the BAT, he cannot do without his unique thinking mode, and he loves reading books, thinking, and exploring new things.

The book that has the greatest impact on Wang Xing is "Limited and Infinite Games". A limited game is to play within the rules, and an infinite game is to create rules for the game to continue. Infinite games include many limited games. , Infinite game is to play the rules, and to play is to explore and change the boundary itself.

Let's take a closer look at the Meituan founded by Wang Xing, isn't it just playing an infinite game?

Finally, read as soon as possible

Looking back at the development of the entire world, we can see more clearly that the technological progress of the entire world is created and promoted by young people.
