Again, the purpose of reading is to be able to use it in practice and solve problems encountered in life. What's the use of reading if you can't apply what you have learned?
Today, I will recommend these five books to you, so that they can make you think deeply about life. Breakthrough from the inside is growth. Only by changing the way of thinking and changing the inner pattern can we change our destiny.
1. Meditation?
Everyone wants to have a successful career and a happy life, but no one can ever tell us what to do in this world to get real happiness. If you don't know how to pursue happiness, meditation can solve your problem.
This book is a diary written by the ancient Roman emperor and philosopher Kyle Aurelius, and it is a book of self-reflection. Fortunately, it has been handed down. It is natural that this book is praised by many celebrities at all times and in all countries. Bill Clinton, former US President, and Wen Jiabao, former Prime Minister of China, praised the book and put it beside the case as their pillow books.
By reading this book, you can have a deep communication with yourself. After reading this book, you can truly understand life, learn to be a man, learn to reflect on your behavior, and then sublimate your soul.
We all live in this fucking society, and there will always be various psychological ailments. Don't deny it. It doesn't matter. Meditation is also a biblical guide to healing the soul, especially for obsessive-compulsive disorder.
2. Franklin autobiography?
If there is a philosophy that can improve our quality of life and completely change our destiny, it is pragmatism.
The rich second generation's life experience is not worth our reference, but the poor boy's Jedi counterattack always fascinates us deeply. Franklin was born a poor boy, but he used his wisdom and hard work to write a chapter in his life.
1723, 17-year-old Franklin couldn't stand the abuse of his brother or the hostility of the colonial government and the Puritans who believed in equality between men and women because of writing articles. He went to the south by boat alone. After many hardships along the way, I went through new york and then to Philadelphia. I started as an apprentice and became a successful printer with my diligence and wisdom. Then I started a newspaper, became a postmaster, engaged in public welfare undertakings, became a member of the colonial parliament, and finally became one of the founding fathers.
Thought produces action, and action must have an effect.
Franklin's optimistic, tolerant and enterprising personality determines his success, especially his way of dealing with problems is worth learning.
3. Poor Charlie's collection?
Don't just look up at the road with your head down. The way of thinking, the way of dealing with problems and the style of dealing with people of successful people are always worth learning.
Simple and meaningful sentences often contain profound wisdom, and the so-called road is simple. Munger's wisdom lies in that he can not only understand the essence of things, but also express them in a way that hits the nail on the head. For example, when he read The Difference between the Outstanding and the Mediocre, he said, "I am what I am today because I don't pursue the opportunity of mediocrity."
Charles Munger is also an avid reader. Through a lot of reading, he has completed the study of various subjects. This is not a superficial ticket, but an obvious intellectual attempt-"I really appeal to you to ignore the legal boundaries of the discipline. The world is not organized in an interdisciplinary way. The world requires us to jump out of the legal scope of the discipline. " Munger is outstanding because of his knowledge reserve and his way of thinking that transcends discipline barriers.
Munger is a loyal partner of Warren Buffett. Of course, he is rich. A rich and enduring man like him is a man of great wisdom. Do you want to be as rich as him? Only by learning from him can we surpass him.
4. A letter from Fu Lei?
Although this is only a letter written by a father to his son, we can learn the nutrients of growth from the book from the son's perspective and educate our descendants from the father's perspective.
"Writing a long letter to you is not empty nagging, not puzzling gossiping, but has several functions. First, I really take you as an opponent to discuss art and music; Second, I really want to inspire some young people to dare to think, so that my father can get some fresh nourishment, and I can also indirectly spread it to other young people; Third, it is not only your writing that exercises you through communication, especially your thoughts. Fourth, I want to remind you all the time to be a faithful mirror, no matter in life, in the details of life, in artistic accomplishment and in playing posture. " -Fu Lei
Fu Lei's son Fu Cong is a musician, but we are not. Although some things about playing music in the book are of no use to us, others, such as the cultivation of personality, the matters needing attention in the details of life and dealing with people, have all played an enlightening role.
I have read this book three times, and I have a deep understanding every time. This is not only a father's painstaking teaching, but also a behavior guide that is beneficial to our self-cultivation, family harmony and self-improvement. When you are good enough, are you still afraid of fame and fortune?
5. Tan Caigen
The world is bustling for profit. The world is bustling for profit.
In such a materialistic era, it is understandable to pursue fame and profit. Everyone should strive to give their parents a rich old age and a bright future for their wives and children.
However, if you are always trapped in the whirlpool of fame and fortune, you will not be happy, or even get tired of fame and fortune, and eventually regret it for life. We have to learn all our lives: we have the ambition to join the WTO and always have the heart to be born.
Caigen Tan adopts the essence of Confucianism, Buddhism and Taoism, takes the mind and Zen as the core, and has the great road of self-cultivation, keeping the family in order, governing the country and leveling the world. Integrating life philosophy, life art and aesthetic taste; It's like quotations, but it's interesting that quotations don't have; It seems to be an essay, but there is an order, which is not as good as prose. It is a beautiful and profound reading, and it is also a China literary work that cultivates people's sentiment, temper people's will and inspire people to forge ahead. "He who bites the roots of vegetables can do anything." Cai Gentan used many philosophical epigrams to teach the world the rules of being born and entering the WTO and the way of dealing with people, which was fascinating, thought-provoking and thought-provoking.
