According to different scenes and types of books, reading and listening to books should have their own strengths. If we don't break down the scene to discuss this problem, then I think it's hooliganism. I basically spend some time listening to books and reading books every day. My opinion on this question is (anxious friends can browse in bold):

First, make clear the definition of this problem.

This question discusses the "efficiency" of reading or listening to books, so this essentially discusses the input-output ratio.

The investment in reading or listening to books is mainly time and energy. I think there are two points in the output: one is to remember and use the knowledge in the book; The other is the good emotional experience produced in the reading process.

So we are concerned about which way (reading/listening to books) can make us gain more knowledge and better reading experience with the same time and energy input, instead of simply discussing efficiency from the quantitative dimension of "how many books have you read".

Second, according to the reading scene, which is better, reading or listening to books?

1, in a quiet and stable environment, reading is the first choice.

Generally speaking, reading is better than listening to books, because you can browse quickly and get the overall framework of reading materials at the fastest speed. With the overall understanding, the following is to classify knowledge points into different frameworks. It is impossible to realize the rapid framing of knowledge through vision at present when listening to books.

In addition, when reading, you actually read silently sometimes, that is, you actually hear a voice reading in your head. This is a great advantage! Because the process of reading has mobilized your vision and hearing. This is an incomparable advantage of simply listening to books.

2. It is better to listen to books in the car/on the road/while brushing your teeth/taking a shower.

Since reading is superior to listening to books in essence, why listen to books? Because environmental factors will affect the efficiency of visual intake of knowledge.

For example, you will stagger on the bus. If you are reading a book, you will often get dizzy and the reading effect is very poor. Moreover, a noisy environment will affect your concentration and reduce your efficiency.

For example, when you brush your teeth, the environment is quiet, but the place and action of brushing your teeth often don't allow you to put a book to read. At this time, just listen to books on your mobile phone!

Third, according to reading, which is better, reading or listening to books?

1. As mentioned above, reading is better than listening to any book when conditions permit.

2. Listening to books is still better than reading in some scenes. For example, in the car, on the road or during exercise.

3, but not all books are suitable for listening and learning, such as knowledge-intensive tome, reading will be better. Novels are more suitable for listening. For example, I just listened to "Three-body" in the car and got knowledge news on the APP. This short and pithy knowledge article is also good for listening, but it is best to write down key words at any time during listening. After listening, review according to the key words to facilitate memory.
