Below I will focus on introducing a few books that I personally recognize and would like to recommend to everyone for repeated reading .
"Inferiority and Transcendence" and "The Courage to Be Disliked"
These two books are put together because the content they present is similar.
"Inferiority and Transcendence" systematically introduces Adler's psychology. The book consists of 12 chapters, and each chapter introduces Adler's views on a topic.
For example, 生活的意义in the chapter, Adler classified all human problems into three categories: occupation, communication, and gender issues . The author thinks this summary is very incisive! The authors show that people's different responses to these three questions reveal precisely what each person understands about the meaning of life . For example, if a person lacks love in life, is not active in work, or even does not like to make friends, this will cause the person's life scope to be limited, full of difficulties and obstacles, and have few chances of success. In this chapter, Adler summarizes the meaning of life from the three perspectives of occupation, communication and gender, and explains with examples that people's different behaviors on these three perspectives determine the meaning of life. My personal feelings are quite deep, because I prefer negative examples, hoping that I can be more inclusive and open in terms of communication, gender and career .
For example, 家庭的影响in the chapter, Adler believes that marriage is a cooperative relationship, and there is no distinction between high and low status. He also emphasized that it would be a sad thing no matter which one of the husband and wife has a higher status than the other in a marriage . Such an environment is not only detrimental to the growth of the children, but may also be passed on to the children, causing the children to repeat this situation in future marriages. kind of inequality.
The father has great responsibilities in the family. He has to prove that he is a good partner to his wife, children and society, and to deal with the three major problems of life in a good way: career, friendship and love. The father must cooperate with his wife on an equal footing to care for and protect the family. There should be no rulers in the family, and every feeling of inequality should be avoided . Adler also believed that husbands and wives should have the same friends, and try to avoid friends who are different, otherwise it will alienate the relationship between husband and wife. To create a harmonious and happy family, 丈夫首先要做的就是关爱自己的妻子pay attention to what the wife likes and is interested in, and provide the wife with superior conditions as much as possible; only when both husband and wife believe that their common happiness is higher than their personal interests can they truly cooperate. People should love each other more than themselves.
The 自卑感与优越感chapters helped me the most. Adler first pointed out that anyone will have an inferiority complex. The inferiority complex means that when a person is not ready to face a certain problem, the person firmly believes that he cannot solve the problem. This is the inferiority complex. The premise of overcoming inferiority complex is to clarify one's own shortcomings, that is, to know the point and reason of one's inferiority complex. The key to overcoming inferiority complex is to establish a sense of superiority, and use the superiority sense to make up for the inferiority complex caused by some of your own shortcomings, so as to achieve beyond inferiority complex ! For example, Zhang San is not good at Chinese, but he is good at mathematics. He can score more than 90 points in each test. Zhang San can build up his self-confidence and sense of superiority in mathematics by strengthening his mathematics scores, and thus Make up for the inferiority complex of poor Chinese.
The book "Inferiority and Transcendence" expounds Adler's views on 12 themes, many of which are unavoidable for each of us, and Adler's views on each topic are instructive to me , can help me better understand myself and deal with major issues in life, such as low self-esteem and transcending low self-esteem, etc., highly recommended !
"The Courage to Be Disliked" provides a deductive introduction and interpretation of Adlerian psychology through speculative dialogues between young people who have fallen into low self-esteem and philosophers.
The book emphasizes people's subjective consciousness, thinking that what happens is not important, but how we look at these things is important . And emphasized not to care too much about what others think of you. In fact, only you care about your appearance. Think that we should live in the present and face the three major problems of life: career, friendship and love (both genders)! worth reading.
"Morgan's 32 Letters to His Son" and "The Richest Investment"
These two books are the proverbs and messages left by the elders to their children, full of wisdom in life.
The contents of Morgan's letter include making friends, reading, time and health, business management and so on.
For example, in terms of marriage, Morgan believes that the most important investment in life is marriage . Once marriage is properly invested, the career will quickly reach its peak; if marriage is regarded as a trifling matter, the ensuing punishment will be divorce, mental pain and the amount of savings. plummeted. From a man's point of view, a good female partner should be charming, temperamental and smart . It is difficult for women to have these three qualities at the same time. As long as they have two of them, they should be cherished!
"The Most Prosperous Investment" is the teaching of father Jim Rogers to his children. The content is relatively new, not as old as Morgan's letter. The content focuses on concentration, learning and thinking, hard work, etc. It does not specifically introduce business management, reading and making friends, etc. It is suitable for parents with children to read.
"Structural Reform" and "Analysis and Thinking: Huang Qifan's Fudan Economics Class"
These two books were written by Huang Qifan, the former mayor of Chongqing, and they are a collection of speeches given by Huang on important occasions after his retirement.
"Structural Reform" is one of the most important measures of the country's macroeconomics and reform and opening up in recent years. Huang gave a systematic introduction and elaboration on it, including why supply-side structural reforms are needed and what measures are included.
"Analysis and Thinking" is an expansion and continuation of "Structural Reform". It compiles the content of the author's economics course at Fudan University into a book, focusing on macro-control, China's monetary policy, capital market reform, Sino-US economic and trade frictions, etc. .
After reading these two books, I gained a new understanding of Huang Qifan. When he was in charge of Chongqing, he was responsible for attracting investment, introducing high-tech companies such as Dell computer assembly plant, automobile industry chain, and BOE, and at the same time controlling Chongqing's housing prices. This person worked in Shanghai when he was young. He was one of the persons in charge of the construction and planning of Pudong New Area. He was one of the proponents of the planning of three high-rise buildings with three kitchens in Pudong New Area. He promoted the planning and establishment of the Shanghai Diamond Exchange...
After reading these two books, I think Huang has real talent and learning, with high economic skills and cognition. Friends who are interested in these two books can read them.
"The Road to Science"
The author of this book is Yang Likun, one of the 2018 Turing Award winners. The whole book is composed of short articles. The author combines his study and work history to tell the development of artificial intelligence and related stories. It is highly readable, broadens knowledge, and is somewhat autobiographical.
More importantly, the author Yang Likun was not born in a famous school. After graduating from high school, he went to a vocational school. Extensive reading of literature and books established his research interests, so he applied for a master’s degree and a doctor’s degree to continue his research. This experience gave me inspiration: Studying should pursue knowledge, not diplomas , which is deafening!
"Get Family Insurance in 1 Hour" and "Get Family Insurance Easily: Oscar Insurance Clearance Guide"
These two books are reference books, and the core is to teach everyone how to buy insurance.
The author of the first book sells insurance, and introduces how to buy insurance and hedge risks from a macro perspective. The second author is a consumer, and introduces how to configure family insurance from the perspective of buying insurance. Personally, I think the second book is better because the content is introduced from the consumer's point of view 从立场上更偏向维护消费者利益. But when reading, you should read both books to have a macro and comprehensive understanding of insurance.
book of the year
"The Road to Science", "Inferiority and Transcendence" and "Morgan's 32 Letters to His Son" are the three most important books I have selected from this year.
"The Road to Science" inspired me to pursue knowledge rather than diplomas , and it corrected my irrational cognition from the perspective of motivation. Frankly speaking, 985文凭it was one of the important reasons for me to take the postgraduate entrance examination. Of course, its practical role cannot be denied. 但从长期来说，应该追求的是知识. This inspiration can also be extended to many aspects, such as the pursuit of love in terms of feelings .
"Inferiority and Transcendence" gives a detailed and feasible discussion on inferiority complex and how to overcome inferiority complex, with refreshing views and practical guiding significance . Everyone can make up for and surpass inferiority complex according to the method introduced by the author.
"Morgan's 32 Letters to His Son" unlocks a new personal reading genre: the epistolary, and this family-inherited letter has gone through the test of history, has practical significance for the individual, and needs to be read repeatedly.
Summarize
In 2021, these books will all
微信读书be read online. Personally, I am increasingly accepting the form of e-books. For me who does not have a fixed property, the cost of buying and reading physical books is too high, it takes up physical space, and it is very difficult to move. inconvenient. So I personally recommend reading on WeChat.I feel that my reading ability this year is better than last year, and I know why I am studying: improving self-cultivation and financial management ability, solving practical problems (insurance), etc. If you have a clear purpose, you will know which books you should choose to read. Different books are read in different ways. For example, reference books should be read quickly and skimmed, good books should be read more, and paper notes should be sorted out if necessary.
It is really important to read more books and read good books . I hope I can stick to it.
