Today, I read Reading by Fan Deng and Reading Methods by Fan Deng. For three hours, I was immersed in the book, and I was very excited after reading it, because this book opened the door to scientific reading.
Fan Deng, the author of this book, is a famous storyteller. He founded Fan Deng Reading, with more than 22 million registered members. Master of Xi Jiaotong University, Ph.D. of Beijing Normal University, champion of debate contest, former CCTV host. This book introduces his reading methods in detail, and also shows hand-drawn mind maps, so that readers can understand the methods described in his book more intuitively.
1, Deng Ning-Kruger effect, out of self-sufficient reading.
Deng Ning-Kruger effect is a kind of cognitive deviation, which means that people with poor ability draw wrong conclusions based on their thoughtless decisions, and such people cannot correctly recognize their own shortcomings. In reading, many people fall into the Deng Ning-Kruger effect, especially those who only read useful books. This kind of reading often makes people stop.
When I was a student, I liked literary books and read all kinds of literature, so I fell into the Deng Ning-Kruger effect. I remember one day I was in a bad mood, sitting alone in the classroom and looking unhappy. My deskmate thought something was wrong at home and kept asking me what was wrong, which made me happy. I was still silent and alone. After repeated inquiries from my deskmate, I told her that I had just finished reading it alive and was still immersed in the sadness of the book.
Literary books give me spiritual nourishment and make me more emotional, so I often immerse myself in the world of books and feel sad secretly.
In My Outlook on Growth, Yu told us to read a lot of books with different types and themes. He believes that only by linking mathematics, literature, history, philosophy, biology and other knowledge systems can we get through the "two veins" of our knowledge.
2, the wrong way to read, reading is a roadblock.
In Reading a Book, Fan Deng's Reading Method, the author lists some bad habits in the reading process, such as "If you don't know the words, stop and look them up", "While reading, watch your mobile phone" and "While reading, underline the key points".
Reflecting on my reading habits, these two problems are reflected in me. For this reason, I made a survey of friends around me, and the survey found that many people have these two wrong reading methods. The wrong reading method will interrupt our reading process, and the reading interval will break the fun and pleasure of reading. The most direct manifestation is the slow reading speed. After reading a book for a long time, I can't finish it. I often throw it away in the middle and have no interest in picking it up. In addition, I can't remember the contents of the book, because my mind keeps wandering in the process of reading, and often the chapters I just read are as if I haven't read them, and I have no impression at all, which makes reading invalid.
In addition, I often take stroke lines when reading, which I think is the key point, but the reality is that this is also a wrong reading method. In the book Understanding Nature, it is said that highlighter, underlining and repeated reading are all ineffective learning methods, which is the learning illusion brought by metacognition. The more familiar you are with a paragraph, the smoother you will read it, and you will have the illusion that you have mastered the reading content. This is why most people think they know everything when they read a book, but when the book is covered, their heads are empty. So many people think reading is useless, because we can't remember it after reading it. In fact, it's just because we use the wrong reading method. If you can review and summarize in the process of reading, you will naturally deepen your memory.
Therefore, the wrong way of reading is a stumbling block in reading. Changing the wrong way of reading will improve our reading efficiency and experience the pleasure of reading.
3, the size of the understanding pool determines the depth of reading.
The author believes that how big the pool of understanding is, how difficult it is to read books. Reading accumulation is a process from quantitative change to qualitative change. Understand what a pool includes? Fan Deng divided his swimming pool into seven parts. They are economics, psychology, Chinese studies, management, logic, philosophy and life experience.
Biologist Julian? Huxley said that "life is nothing more than one connection after another", so we should have various models instead of looking at things in a single way of thinking.
Charles Munger put forward in Poor Charlie's Collection that "you must know the important theories of important disciplines and use them often-all of them, not just concentrate." Most people just try to solve all problems in one way with the thinking mode of a subject they have learned, such as economics, which is a stupid way to deal with problems. "Therefore, he used multiple modes of thinking for business analysis and evaluation.
Charles Munger is called "Mobile Library". He has read many books on various subjects for a long time. Therefore, his understanding pool is like the sea of Wang Yang, and he can adopt diversified thinking modes. We usually need to consciously expand our understanding and make a single way of thinking more diverse.
The book "Deliberate Practice" makes us understand that "genius" is the product of training. As long as we use the right methods and train for a long time, we can all become "geniuses", but most of us don't know the methods and are not persistent enough. And "Reading a Book, Fan Deng Reading Method" provides us with a scientific reading method, so that we can learn how to read.
We need to get out of books and avoid the influence of Deng Ning-Kruger effect on us. In addition, we should learn to change those wrong reading methods to make reading more effective and interesting; Most importantly, we should broaden the scope of our comprehension ability so that we can read more deeply. "Reading a Book, Fan Deng Reading Method" opened the door to scientific reading for me, allowing me to better travel in the sea of books and experience endless fun.
