Reading 100 books without knowing this method is also a shortcut to growth that cannot be missed by ineffective reading
1. Extensive reading and intensive reading
Extensive reading: must be a lot When it comes to reading, we should combine everyone’s strengths, first win in terms of the number of books read, cultivate diverse thinking, and continuously expand cognitive boundaries.
Intensive reading: Find the field you are passionate about, then study it specifically and strive to get closer to the expert level.
2. Skeleton reading
When we get a book, we should not read it from beginning to end, but should have skeleton thinking.
For example, first read the cover, back cover, introduction, author introduction, recommended preface, table of contents, main chapters, and key sentences.
Reading in this way can give us a general understanding of the book, understand the author's writing structure, intention, ideas, etc., and then determine whether to continue reading intensively.
3. Purpose Reading:
Think clearly about the purpose of reading this book? What problem do you want to solve? If you think clearly about the purpose, you will be better able to find a solution.
Know which time management is suitable for me? Which energy management is suitable for me? Which learning method is suitable for me?...
Clear the purpose, solve the problem, really change and grow yourself.
4. Dialectical reading:
We must read books with a critical eye instead of absorbing them all.
Is the methodology given by the author comprehensive? Is it true in reverse?
Can the reasons he gave convince me? Is there a better method?...
When we read books from a curious, questioning and open perspective, we can increase our reading speed and depth, and better absorb the knowledge we need.
5. Selective skipping:
When we are reading, we should not stop when we don’t understand, but skip over. This can maintain continuity and interest, and also prevent loss aversion.
The purpose of skipping over is to finish reading, so that if you go back and read the difficult parts, everything will suddenly become clear and you will have a feeling that it was originally like this, which makes us feel very good about the experience.
6. Classical reading:
It is best for us to recite good words, good sentences, touching sentences, etc. in the book, so that the knowledge can be truly engraved in our minds.
Read it like the ancients, and deeply understand that the text has a temperament, as if you have traveled through the book, and you have a feeling of face-to-face communication with the author. Subtly, with joy, this kind of writing temperament will last forever It enters your body, enters your bone marrow, and makes you extraordinary from the inside out.
7. Note reading:
Recommended mind map note-taking method, card note-taking method, Cornell note-taking method. Always remember that writing notes is not the purpose, and the form is not the purpose. It is to comprehensively understand the author's intention, point of view, logic, etc., add new cognition, new methodology, new experience, new thinking, and deeply absorb and effectively practice the content of the book.
It is recommended to choose a note-taking software, such as Youdao Cloud Notes, Graphite Notes, Evernote, etc., to organize and classify them regularly for better internalization and absorption.
8. Repeat reading:
Zhu Guangqian said: Any book worth reading must be read at least twice. As the number of books you read increases and your experience increases, you will have different feelings and insights when you re-read the same book. You may be surprised that you have taken a big step forward and it feels very good.
Classic books are worthy of repeated review and careful reading to understand their meaning
9. Feynman Reading:
01. Write a book review: True Conscience Absorbing and putting it into writing is also a process from vagueness to clarity, exercising your thinking ability and truly having your own experience.
02. Share with others: Reading with such a purpose will allow you to virtually increase your reading efficiency and absorption rate, and then share it with others in simple and easy-to-understand language, and get feedback from others’ facial expressions or language In the process, understand whether you have truly absorbed it, check for leaks and fill in the gaps, and keep improving.
10. Practical reading:
Bacon said: Knowledge is power, but more important is the skill to use knowledge.
Apply the methodologies, experiences, knowledge, etc. learned from reading to your actual life, make the knowledge truly come alive and accept the test of reality.
If it cannot be practiced, it means that the knowledge is only moved to the head and not internalized in the heart. Follow the review and reflection, keep in mind the amount of action gt; the amount of reading, and then put it into practice and apply it repeatedly until grow into your body.
