Reading has become a "national carnival" in the era of knowledge payment. Whether reading e-books such as kindle and WeChat, or buying paper books, whether attending a reading training camp community such as reading a book, or listening to a book such as a book every day, it seems that if you don't read dozens of books a year, you are already embarrassed to go out and say hello to others.

Now the title of the book can be compared with those tall words that were popular on the Internet in those days.

For example, A Brief History of Mankind, Principles, Stealing Fire, Pink Trilogy and so on, which were popular on 20 18.

Of course, now we have no worries about how to choose books, but we are still deeply anxious about how to read.

I forgot it after reading it, or I seem to know some novel concepts and some interesting stories after reading it. Who wrote it and I don't know what it will do for my work and life.

So I've probably browsed at least six reading methods during this period, including books that specialize in reading, organizations and institutions that teach people how to read, and big coffee people who focus on deep reading and speed.

Choose two methods for each category. The important thing is not to judge, but to sum up and choose what suits you. It is precisely because of this that this "reading" series came into being.

Today, I will introduce you to a book that teaches reading: how to read a book effectively.

How to read a book effectively

[day]? Nobuhiko Ono

The biggest feature of this book is that it provides a set of scientific and efficient reading methods from five steps: book selection, book purchase, reading, recording and flexible use. Among them, the note reading method can be regarded as the core reading method of this book.

The basic goal of reading is to have a solid harvest after reading every book. Therefore, from now on, carefully select every book that can meet your own needs, and then sincerely talk to each book and try to learn from it.

This time I will focus on three parts: book selection, reading and flexible use.

0 1 book selection

The so-called "book selection" refers to how to choose the book you really want to read.

Now the pace of work and life is so fast that time is a cost we can't afford. The cost of a book, that is, about 30-60, and the time cost of a person a day may be more than 200.

So the method provided by this book begins with the initial "book selection". Choosing a bad book, wasting money and time is secondary, not worth the loss.

Choose books, collect all the information related to books in daily life, record the books you want to read and need to read, avoid books you are not interested in, and improve the "hit rate" of book selection.

The author provides the following methods to help you "choose books":

Only by drawing materials from daily life can we list books that reflect our real needs.

Daily collection is divided into passive collection and active collection. Daily thoughts should be recorded, which will be one of the references for buying books.

Buying books in a physical store will be more impressive.

Make a list of books to buy and mark them, including information such as publisher, author, category, title, etc.

If you think it's okay not to buy the book, cross it off the shopping list.

Associate the list with the notes. If the book reviews you read in a magazine interest you, you can also cut and paste the magazine into your notes.

Find a "hub book" that can help you, such as the author's recommendation.

Understand the publishing habits of newspapers and study book reviews carefully.

02 reading

The so-called reading is how to deepen understanding and think deeply.

The author's method emphasizes the role of "reading notes", mainly screening reading methods+reading notes.

1.？ Screening reading method:

Three screening procedures for reading a book: read through, reread and mark.

Read-through program: put a corner at the top of the valuable page.

Rereading procedure: After reading through a book, reread the corner, and if it is still valuable, turn out the corner at the bottom of the page.

Marking procedure: re-read the upper and lower corners, mark lines, and highlight valuable places.

The above triple program can also be completed by three kinds of tags.

2.？ Notes on lush hot pot:

Before taking reading notes, you should pay attention to three kinds of information: date, title and author's name.

There are two elements that need to be supplemented: excerpting the content that is important to you and your own comments on this article.

For the extracted contents, only those marked contents are extracted according to the "screening reading method".

Leave some blanks in the excerpt and write your own comments.

Use "○" for excerpts and "∞" for comments.

Comments don't have to be meaningful, just write something "great". Dare to write the first comment and stick to it.

I will remember, because I wrote it. Excerpts must be sentences that excite you.

03 flexible use

The so-called flexible use is how to use the knowledge in the book.

Reading notes are a sublimation tool, which can make reading activities leap from mechanical copying to original thinking. Therefore, if we can't apply the knowledge in books to our own lives, there will be no "harvest" for ourselves.

1.？ Positive output promotes ideological internalization.

The author suggests focusing on: which paragraph should be extracted; How to comment on this point and output it is also a method.

2.？ Reread your notes in a fixed scene.

Through re-reading, constantly improve the extracted notes, deepen the understanding of knowledge, and develop the habit of re-reading. It is more convenient to reread notes than to reread books.

3.？ Write a book review on the blog.

Taking notes is the basis of writing book reviews, so it is the simplest "writing" to extract comments from reading notes.

4.？ Reading notes is a good medicine to relieve anxiety.

It can be compared to thematic reading, but it is a narrow thematic reading.

Since three books are limited, there is not such a big burden.

Debates with different viewpoints in the same field are compared with each other in the form of arguments (points+comments).

5.？ The foundation of writing articles and starting a business comes from reorganization.

The so-called creativity is just to recombine the original elements. Therefore, constantly reorganizing information and making the information in reading notes collide will help you to generate new ideas. Similar to the Lenovo function of Evernote, he will recommend similar articles to you and explore creativity from familiarity.

Several skills of reading experience

Don't rely on the internet, read more reference books and encyclopedias (such as Wikipedia).

Books pile up into mountains, and reading is no longer difficult (the author recommended a tool: a word board bookcase)

A book that is difficult to understand from the shallow to the deep (for example, read the illustrated version, the explanatory version first, and then the edited translation version)

Think of famous books as pillow books, and take three books with you to read at the same time.

There are books in every corner of the house.

After reading, start with the excerpt.
