We live in an era of well-deserved information explosion. According to the latest statistics released by China Internet Network Information Center, as of June 20 16, the total number of Internet users in China has reached 7 10 billion, and the combined monthly users of WeChat and WeChat have far exceeded the number of Internet users in China, reaching 806 million. Internet, a huge platform, presents and pushes us endless information. Reading countless small business owners through computers, mobile tablets, mobile phones and other terminals every day, the taste must be self-evident.
There is a lot of information, but it also brings problems. One is information overload, which brings heavy receiving and processing burden to the brain, and the other is that the quality of information cannot be guaranteed and it is difficult to distinguish between true and false. For many people, there is more information, but they are more and more confused because they are misled by false information from time to time. As a result, the information of the explosion further increased people's pressure and anxiety. In reality, we often quarrel over trivial matters, while on the Internet, we often jump to comments without knowing the facts.
The picture comes from the internet.
In fact, most people don't want to fall into this state of anxiety, tension and irritability. Most people want to get rid of redundant useless information or even false information, and want to achieve a clear-headed and in-depth thinking state. According to the viewpoint expressed by Takashi Saito in Deep Reading: How to Read in the Age of Information Explosion, the former's chaotic and troublesome state is just "turbid water on the river" with bitter taste. But under the turbid water, there must be a clear stream with thoughts and insights. We hope to cross the turbid water and dive into the depths of the spiritual bottom. Deep reading can help us achieve it.
Takashi Saito is a professor at Meiji University. Being in the education industry, he is very concerned about the insufficient reading of Japanese people and students. He strongly urged and urged the Japanese people to increase and deepen the quality and quantity of reading.
"according to the big data of Link app, in 20 15 years, the per capita reading of paper books in China was 4.58, including textbooks. According to incomplete statistics, Jews rank first in the world in reading 64 books per year. The per capita reading of Japan, France and South Korea is 40, 20, 1 1 respectively. "
Referring to the comparison of the number of students in 20 15, as descendants of China, we should all be ashamed. In fact, many people have the consciousness of reading, but for various reasons, they have never started. In the thin book Deep Reading: How to Read in the Age of Information Explosion, Takashi Saito gave many practical suggestions. After reading this book, I got a lot of useful inspiration from it.
First of all, about choosing books.
Many people didn't start studying because they were carried away by the dazzling sales figures and couldn't make a choice. In fact, there are many ways to choose books, and everyone can decide according to their own preferences.
1, classic preferred
In Deep Reading: How to Read in the Age of Information Explosion, we strongly advocate reading classic works and master works, which can stand the test of time in ideological connotation and inspire and help people more deeply. Takashi Saito mentioned The Analects of Confucius many times in his book, which shows that he strongly affirmed the value of this book.
2. Choose books according to your personal foundation and preferences.
For newcomers who have just started reading, such as choosing classic short literature, favorite original movies and celebrity biographies. You can also refer to reliable book reviews and book list recommendations. Choose books that are easy to use, cultivate reading interest, and then gradually deepen and expand the scope.
For those with a certain amount of accumulation and personal preference, you can choose the same type of books you are interested in, or a series of books by the same author to read, which is easy to form an overall structure.
Second, about reading.
1, good at asking questions
When reading, you should read with questions, so that you have done some preparation and consideration before reading, and you will also think more about why during reading. To ask questions, you must have a thoughtful mind to ask the core questions. This kind of reading will be more rewarding. For the answer, everyone may have their own conclusions after thinking about it. There is no need to ask everyone to come to the same conclusion. Reading is not a unified standard answer for primary school mathematics exams. As long as you get information through reading, enjoy the beauty of words or promote thinking, it is a good process.
2, from simple to deep
Many classical works have good content, but ancient Chinese may be difficult to understand. At this time, we might as well start with this person's "interpretation" books or "vernacular translation" books. For example, Shan Hai Jing is a very rich book, but it is difficult for ordinary people to digest it directly from the original text. I choose to read Yuan Ke's complete translation of Shan Hai Jing. His translation is plain, accurate and fluent, which can be roughly understood by reading the original text with reference to the translation.
For the same category of books, the depth of their contents is also different. Don't rush for success, plunge into the most profound books at once, which is not easy to digest and absorb, and it is easy to dampen reading enthusiasm. According to the personal basis, choose books suitable for the degree of difficulty to read and gradually deepen.
3. E-books vs paper books
In fact, these two books have their own advantages. Now many devices can support people to read e-books and take notes flexibly. As long as you master it properly, you can greatly improve the reading efficiency and effect. The reading of paper books also has the irreplaceable texture of e-books. As long as it suits you. Our aim is to read the book itself and freely choose the form of the book.
Third, about output.
The biggest difference between deep reading and shallow reading of daily network information is that after deep thinking in reading, it is transformed and output after reading. Only through thinking and transformation can the knowledge and ideas in the book be integrated into themselves and truly become a part of themselves.
Everyone has his own knowledge base, way of thinking and unique perspective. In the process of reading, he should gradually form a personal transformation model and do more analysis and summary. You can turn the books you have read into your own knowledge system by communicating with others, repeating, writing comments and writing book reviews.
In-depth reading, in the process of selecting books, reading and summarizing, it should be purposeful, selective, methodological and transformational, so as to realize a complete and in-depth reading and harvesting process. Reading in thinking, training analytical ability, understanding and summarizing ability in reading, thus promoting deeper thinking and achieving a virtuous circle.
Through the deep reading advocated by Takashi Saito in Deep Reading: How to Read in the Age of Information Explosion, we can gradually cross the turbid water and go deep into the spiritual bottom. Let's read deeply together!
