Have you ever read a book with great interest, only to find that your forgetting rate was extremely high after reading, and you were hit hard?
-There are some people who have a rich spiritual world, a good understanding of many fields, and mature thinking. Can I become like them?
It is true that reading can broaden people's horizons and allow us to understand the world even if we cannot travel around it; it allows us to better understand the essence of things instead of misunderstanding the world with narrow ideas.
Give me three minutes and let me introduce to you my favorite reading method: the massive reading method!
It’s not a problem to seize the end of this year and read 20 more books before the first day of the new year ~
Massive reading, as the name suggests, means to read a lot.
But here, I want to tell you that short-term, large-scale, directional reading is the essence of massive reading.
There is a word that has been popular for a long time, called "fragmented reading". The internalization rate of fragmented reading is very low, which means that only a small part of the content is transformed into your own things and supplements your inner knowledge system.
Fragmented reading is more like a concept. The concept of connecting the two concepts of online information and reading creates an illusion for people, and it is easy for people to think of using Baijia account or Weibo. The act of waiting to obtain information content is equivalent to reading.
Real reading is to read quietly, and it is to read books that have their own system and logical consistency. The internalization rate of real reading is naturally higher than that of fragmented reading. Especially, when you choose a good book. A good book has good writing style and is easy to absorb; its viewpoints are advanced and of high quality; its arguments are sufficient, its logic is clear, and its internalization rate is high.
Large-scale directional reading in a short period of time is a tried-and-tested, addictive, and highly internalized reading method. This method of reading not only greatly improves your reading speed, but also overcomes the biggest problem in the reading process: forgetting.
Next, let us learn how to do it~
1. Choose a direction
First of all, you need to choose a main reading direction. Because if you read books on different topics every time and the topics change too frequently, the forgetting rate will be very high.
Reading a large number of books in one direction in a short period of time will give you a systematic understanding of that direction. The concepts of "short time" and "large amount" are generally the speed of reading forty books in two months. Since it is a book in one direction, the contents of these 40 books will be highly relevant. Different books will describe the same problem from different angles, so after reading 40 books, you have reviewed many repeated concepts many times, and your memory will naturally be super strong.
Some friends feel that reading 40 books in two months is too much.
In fact, it is really difficult to finish reading books on different topics, but you can definitely do it by reading 40 books on the same topic in two months!
When you come into contact with a book in a new field, you may have to spend a week reading and understanding it;
When you read another book on the same topic, You have learned many concepts in the first book. This is equivalent to a review, which can effectively deepen your memory. The review speed is very fast. It may only take four days to finish learning the unfamiliar things in the second book. Oh my god,
it may only take two days to read the third book.
After reading, you already know a lot about this direction, and you can use quick browsing to find new knowledge in the book.
In the process of searching, you will learn about those who have already The knowledge you have learned, even if you skim it at a glance, is equivalent to a review
...
In my personal test, the speed can be as fast as two hours per book~
...

And after reviewing it over and over again, a lot of knowledge will be internalized in your mind, making it difficult to forget!
Two: Choose books.
There are thousands of his books on any subject, so how do you find one worth your time?
The reason why we use this method to read is to review the past and learn the new. The choice of the first book or the first few books is particularly important.
"Old knowledge" must serve as the basis of "new knowledge" and also a background introduction; and "new knowledge" needs to be a more specific description or expansion of "old knowledge". Therefore, the first book must be a book with a clear outline and an overall picture.
This book needs to be logically and hierarchically clear, serving as the framework content of the entire topic and laying the foundation for your entire learning journey. It also requires good explanation skills, the ability to explain basic concepts clearly, and good writing skills~
Take psychology as an example, "Zimbardo General Psychology" is a good one Selection~ Although it is a textbook, it is written with great care and explains the profound things in simple terms
3. Reading
After the framework is set up, it is time to add bricks and tiles. The next step is to study the professional details and improve the knowledge system. You can choose more professional and specific books
The last step is mass reading. Your framework has been built and the bricks have been filled. Mass reading is the process of decorating the palace of knowledge. At this stage, you are not reading a book, but looking for information you don't know, so you can browse quickly and only slow down when you encounter new knowledge. In a book with hundreds of pages, you may not understand only a few dozen pages. The purpose of reading this book in a few hours is to expand your knowledge system.
After two months of extensive reading, this knowledge system will be internalized to a large extent and become your own, and it will be difficult to forget
