Reflection on the Intensive Reading Guide of Personal Knowledge Management 1 This is a good book worth reading repeatedly.
Where's the good news? Why is it good?
This book is about the method of advanced thinking. The most difficult thing for a person to change is his own thinking habit, and the most difficult thing to promote is the thinking mode. The advantage of this book is that it can clearly outline higher-dimensional thinking patterns.
Why only draw an outline? Can't you show the higher thinking mode as a whole?
The answer is: no. Maybe, but even if it is written, we can't understand it. Why?
Imagine how difficult it is for us to explain to a child how adults look at a thing. How will we teach? The first thing we face is the cognitive asymmetry caused by a lot of information asymmetry. We need to keep our children with us all the year round and teach them for a few years before we can change him and make him mature and adapt to the thinking of adults. In this process, what we can give children is only the outline of thinking mode, and we can't completely use our thinking to lead children. Everyone is an independent individual. With an outline, people can gradually define it into what they want, so a clear outline is enough.
Then why should we modify our existing thinking mode?
Although the mode of thinking is difficult to modify, once it is completed, the transformation for a person may be earth-shaking. For a person, the formation of thinking mode can not only play a role in a certain aspect, but also transform him from different angles and dimensions. This is like a martial arts person, some people practice moves, and some people practice internal skills. Those who practice martial arts can break stones with one hand, and those who practice internal skills can turn the river into the sea. For us modern people, a good mode of thinking is internal strength.
Therefore, no matter how difficult it is, if you want to change yourself and the world, you still have to change your thinking mode.
Reflections on the Strengthening Guide of Personal Knowledge Management 2 In the book "Strengthening Guide of Personal Knowledge Management", the author told us about it. How to make learning more efficient? Why are some people so inefficient?
In today's era of information explosion, our time and knowledge are like fragments, mixed with a lot of useless junk information. We want to extract useful knowledge from it. The first thing we should do is to learn to distinguish knowledge from useless information. Knowledge is information that can change our actions. There are some important and basic laws in knowledge that can guide our actions more widely and universally. These are "key knowledge". Only by mastering enough "key knowledge" can our life, cognitive efficiency and learning efficiency enter the fast lane.
Then how to discover, master and apply "critical knowledge" has become the key to our study.
To master "key knowledge", we must first understand three kinds of low-level thinking to master key knowledge:
First, habitual defense
When we feel that our views and dignity may be challenged, our first reaction is not to think about whether the other party's challenges and doubts are reasonable, but: "Someone dares to oppose me, fuck it!" At this time, our "habitual defense" came into being.
Second, the green light thinking
Think more about the advantages and uses of new ideas, understand the uses and values of new ideas, and then analyze the possible shortcomings of this view and try to improve it.
Third, slow is fast.
As long as the new knowledge is blocked, you can get used to the original knowledge and the learning speed will be accumulated.
How to discover "critical knowledge"? The process of finding "key knowledge" is actually the process of finding reliable knowledge that is useful to us and widely used. We can start from the following four aspects:
1, starting from the field of interest, learning important knowledge of this subject,
2. From the original source of the most important knowledge and principles,
3. From the process of trying to explain knowledge with more basic principles,
4. From the time when there is no explanation, try to find or create a hypothesis and test it.
We can learn "critical knowledge" in three lowest ways: reflection, recording and regular review.
How to really apply "critical knowledge" to solve the problem of integration of knowledge and practice? The answer is deliberate practice. Deliberately practicing the critical knowledge we have learned is the key for us to master it. As Josh Witzkin, the author of Personal Knowledge Management Guide, said, "There is no secret that we become top players, but we have a deeper understanding of what may be basic skills."
After reading the Personal Knowledge Management Guide, 3. This book gave me a great shock. I read it carefully for three times, and for the first time I carefully arranged the context of the book.
I have always had many doubts about how to learn and how to manage what I have learned. As a person who has some requirements for himself, he will think about how to improve himself as soon as possible. I've read a lot of WeChat, and both the official WeChat account and Weibo Big V say they want to read books. Many people say that to read a book, you should read a classic book and read less books such as chicken soup. Many people have many different opinions. How to read, how to use the knowledge in the book to improve self-ability? It's in this book.
One thing that impressed me deeply was reading the story of her grandmother told by Cheryl Sandberg, the author of "Step Forward": she resigned and the store wanted to find four people to take her place. I was confused. Why can she do the work of four people by herself? In retrospect, it may be the way of thinking at work. If you change your mind, you change yourself.
Nowadays, many people seem to work hard, working overtime every day, day and night. Many people have done a lot of stupid things that touched them, in fact, they are lazy in thought. Many people only see a point, a few people can see a face, and very few people can see the whole structure. This is the difference between people. As Shi Tiesheng said: the difference between people is greater than that between people and pigs.
I like a sentence in the article very much: reading is not about how much you read, but whether you re-understand the world through reading, discover critical knowledge and apply it to your life. When we study, we read other people's life experiences and feelings. The best books are actually our own life experiences and feelings. If we can turn our life into a book, we can be our best teachers.
At the same time, the author also mentioned several key knowledge: compound interest effect, probability theory, golden thinking circle, evolution theory, systematic thinking, 28 rule and safe space.
What is the golden thinking circle? This is actually the way we know the world. If you want to see through the essence of the problem better, you should cultivate the habit of asking "why". What is critical knowledge? The laws and regulations that we have discovered through in-depth thinking have universal guiding significance.
Reading this book is very rewarding. Reading books and applying what you see to your life will make progress every day. True nobility is not superior to others, but to oneself.
