"Lifelong learning" has now become common knowledge.

This is a direct product of the "era of knowledge explosion". The word "explosion" vividly presents its characteristics - large amount of information and rapid production. If you want to keep up with the pace of this era, you can only keep learning. Of course, the awareness of "lifelong learning" may have existed since ancient times, but only now has it become so dazzling and urgent.

Once knowledge has been formed, it is necessary to put it into action to learn. How to learn?

Whether it is in the past or now, reading is undoubtedly an important and important way. effective way.

What book should I read?

Yes, what book are you reading? I have been confused by this before, and I believe many people are facing this problem. There are so many different kinds of books on the market now that it is really not easy to choose a book that suits you. But maybe you can start with yourself.

If you don’t know what you are interested in.

Don’t be surprised, this is indeed true. In this case, you don't have a clear direction, but you can use other methods to give yourself a broad reference. You can look for it in Dangdang’s “Best Sellers”. Since it can become a bestseller, it naturally has its reasons for being a bestseller, such as “Human Weakness”, “Murphy’s Law”, “The Crowd”, etc., or in the “New Book List” Search and see what newly published books have been published recently, such as "Late Bloomers", "Chinese Culture Lessons", etc. If you find something that catches your eye, you can buy it and read it.

If you know what you are interested in.

You know what industry or field you are interested in. This is relatively easy to do. First, refine the keywords of the industry and field, such as "smart city", "big data", "Three Kingdoms", etc., and then search on platforms such as Dangdang, JD.com, Taobao, and Baidu to see which books have the largest purchase volume. , which books are highly recommended, that is, you should read authoritative books by experts as well as easy-to-understand books, and then select a few to read.

Once you take the step of "having books to read", the rest will fall into place.

Nowadays, for regular books, the author will list relevant reference books, and then record these relevant reference books to form a to-read list. If you want to further read, or do research and study, you can Choose some of these reference books to read. By analogy, the more books you read, the more books you have to read or to read. At this time, are you still worried about not knowing what books to read?

Here, I strongly recommend that you read more classic books. Popular books are popular for a while, and classic books have been passed down for generations. Classic books that can endure for a long time naturally have their universal value. This It is worth mastering, or must master.

When you have books to read, you may face other confusions.

How to study?

Yes, how to study? You were excited and bought several books, ready to "do something". When these books were placed in front of you, you were confused again. Read it carefully, but you always feel you don’t have enough time; read it roughly, but you won’t understand the essence; skip it, because you worry about missing important information. This reminds me of Tang Seng's mantra: "What can we do?"

Times are changing, and our ideas must also change.

Historical books in the past and today's costume TV have more or less created the impression for us that students come to learn skills, succeed in learning, and then show off their talents and make contributions. So should we "retreat" at home now and wait until we finish reading the book before "going out" to do things? If this is the case, the day lily will be cold. Nowadays, the knowledge in many industries and fields is changing with each passing day. You will never finish learning, or by the time you finish learning, the knowledge you have learned before may be outdated, but new knowledge is emerging one after another, and your time , energy is limited.

Therefore, our thinking concepts must change.

According to the needs, directional learning, learning in practice, and then learning throughout life.

When you have a need, find relevant books based on the keywords of the need, and then find methods, ideas or inspiration from the books that can meet the need. As for whether to read carefully, read roughly, or skip Reading depends entirely on your needs. You can read carefully, roughly read, or skip reading, or you can read closely, roughly read, and skip reading in combination.

When you don’t know where in the book the content of the method or idea that can meet your needs is located, you can first roughly read or skip reading to locate it. After you have positioned it, read it carefully to understand the essence. .

When you know where the method or idea that meets your needs is located in the book, you can skip other irrelevant chapters, go straight to the core, and read carefully to understand the essence.

We must understand that the purpose of reading is to obtain ways, ideas or inspiration to meet needs, not to finish the book. In order to finish reading the book, it is not called reading, it is called turning over the book.

This way of reading has been given a nickname in the world - utilitarian reading.

Accurate and effective.
