Regarding book selection and efficient reading, I will give you some of my ideas and experiences: 1. General ideas for book selection: ① Find experts, scholars, or outstanding people (bosses, colleagues, friends, etc.) in this field and ask them for recommendations;

② Find an authoritative book list. In each field, there will be a book list compiled by some experts and experts; ③ Based on the books you have read and like, extend outward; ④ Based on the books you have read, or the books you like

Find the names of the books mentioned in the book; ⑤ Select books based on your own appreciation level and judgment.

In addition, when choosing books, you don’t necessarily have to deliberately pursue new books or books that are touted by others on the list.

Maybe it was a sentence I heard occasionally one day that aroused my interest in the author, or maybe I read it to suit my mood for a period of time.

Don't buy books blindly. You can learn about or try out a small part of the book first, and then buy it when you are really interested.

Of course, you can also choose e-books or go to the library to read (for students, the on-campus library should be taken advantage of).

Different people prefer books with different themes, so hurry up and explore the books you love.

If you really don’t like reading, listening to audio books is also a good choice (but it will be less efficient).

2. Some ideas for efficient reading: 1. To improve reading efficiency, you can first learn to read quickly.

Mature readers will be able to adjust to different reading speeds with ease: from quickly browsing the article to studying and intensive reading. Mature readers know when to speed up and when to slow down.

This often means we need to train our brains to read and process information faster.

Speed ??reading is a scientific and efficient reading and learning method. Speed ??reading is not only reflected in the efficiency of reading speed, but also the efficiency of understanding: it has a very good effect on grasping the context and key points of article paragraphs, and helps organize the article.

, analysis and induction.

For fast reading exercises, you can refer to the "Elite Whole Brain Fast Reading and Memory Training Software". The software exercises are relatively simple and effective.

Practicing with software for more than an hour a day for about a month can increase reading speed by about 5 times, and comprehension and memory can also be improved accordingly.

After mastering speed reading, you can improve your reading efficiency many times, which is very helpful for both reading and studying. If your reading efficiency is low, it is necessary to practice to improve it.

(Since everyone has different foundations and abilities, the degree to which they can learn and master speed reading is also different; but generally speaking, if you practice seriously, it is basically achievable to master about 3,000 words, and even higher, 7,000 to 8,000 words.

, Ten thousand words is relatively difficult, but there are many people out there. If you want to learn and read faster, try it now) 2. ① Before you start reading a book, you must know why you are reading it.

This book? Do you regard it as spiritual food, for personal change, or just for leisure and fun? It is crucial to clearly determine the focus of reading.

Once the focus of the reading is clear, it's time to ask specific questions.

Write down five to ten specific questions you want the author to answer.

By asking some questions before you begin, you establish an objective basis for why you are reading this book in the first place.

As you read, these questions will make it easier for you to determine whether you are achieving your goals.

② Before formally reading this book, you must first understand this book.

I would first study the table of contents to see how the chapters are structured.

Then, I scan the book and section titles.

Next, I read the chapter summaries and even the concluding chapter.

Anything that looks like a brief summary is read first (and frankly, I often read the last page before I read the first page).

Then I was ready to start reading the preface.

Readers are often tempted to dive right in, but the time spent checking out a book is an investment that pays off.

This step will also protect me from wasting time reading mediocre books! 3. Reading is not the key, thinking is.

Don't just read, stop reading, learn to think.

① Find the central idea.

Generally, every book, or even every chapter, has a core idea.

In the process of reading, we must develop the habit of reading with purpose and focus, so that we can be good at discovering key points, new questions, new ideas and new materials when reading.

The most convenient way to grasp a paragraph (chapter) is to grasp the "main sentence", that is, to grasp the sentence that explains the main meaning of the entire paragraph (chapter).

Some point out the central idea at the beginning and end of the article, while others express the central idea through main events. As long as the main events are based on, the central idea can be quickly determined, and so on.

If there is a direct statement in the text, mark it; if not, summarize it in a short statement yourself.

②Thinking after reading.

After you finish reading a book, stop and give yourself some time to make a final summary and evaluation.

Reading is like driving a pickup truck on a gravel road, kicking up a lot of dust in your brain (details).
