Reading a Book: Fan Deng's reading method mainly introduces how to read a book, and how to go from reading a book to telling a book. The main structure of this book is as follows: mind map. It can be said that the modules involved are closely related to our daily study and work.
How to deconstruct a book
How to deconstruct a book should be said to be a process starting from reading a book. Only when you fully understand the structure of the book, the background of the book and other related information will you be interested in continuing reading. The author also compares purposeful reading with free reading. Many people often forget the purpose of reading this book when reading, and finally get nothing. When we are ready to read, we should first ask ourselves: What problem does this book solve?
Just like when we write a paper, we must first find out what our conclusion is. What problem does this conclusion solve? What applications can there be? The core content of this part is how to improve the reading quality. Simply put, it is book drawing, which mainly includes the following reading skills: When you feel that the concept is clearly defined, you must write it down.

How to organize a lecture?
There is a saying: you must be able to read and speak books. Then before telling a book, we should learn how to organize a lecture, how to allocate the proportion and scale of the original text and re-creation, and so on. First of all, we must remember two prerequisites for telling books. One is based on the book, not deviating from the theme, and the other is to understand that storytelling is a process of re-creation, not simply extracting the main points. Since we can't simply extract the original content, what is the appropriate ratio of original and re-creation?
This book also gives a clear explanation. When we are telling a book, we should actually consider the details of speaking, such as speaking speed. Many people may not know how long it will take us to prepare for the speech. In fact, there is a quantitative technology. Other people's experiments have proved that speeches are generally between 150 and 200 words a minute. Of course, we should also make appropriate adjustments according to our own speaking speed.
What are the preparations before telling a book?
Preparation before reading is very important. The author also mentioned that the content of the story should be familiarized with the mind mapping tool again. In fact, it's a bit like we use mind maps to summarize and review. Only when we are fully familiar with the contents of the book can we speak the book better. In this chapter, the author also mentioned that we should be good at applying the "curse of knowledge". What is the "curse of knowledge"?
In fact, this is a psychological phenomenon, which was put forward by a western scholar. Simply put, when a person knows something, he can't imagine that he doesn't know it. So when we talk about books, we should also look at the contents of our books from different angles, even some small details that you think are beyond doubt.
Engineering male's Road to Telling Books
In this book, the author also shared his own way of telling books, which gave us some inspiration.

After the decomposition of this book, I believe everyone can understand the main structure of this book. In fact, in our daily reading, we should also develop the habit of summarizing.
