Technical TODO
The books listed above are all impressive, and some books are not impressive after reading, so they are not listed above. Below I will highlight a few books that are worth reading over and over again .
Global History
This book is divided into two volumes, two volumes, and they are very popular. I made appointments in the library several times before I made an appointment.
When I read this book, I didn't read it all, I only read the summary at the end of each chapter. I think the summary of each chapter is the essence of the whole book !
The conclusion of the first chapter helped me clarify 人性this concept. In the first chapter, the author compares the characteristics of the members of two primitive tribes, one of which is very kind, generous and hospitable, while the other is aggressive and irritable. The reason why these two primitive tribes are so different is that one tribe has a lot of food, while the other tribe has little food, and they need to constantly hunt animals to survive. After years of evolution, the overall differences between the two tribes have formed.
Through the above examples, the author concludes: human nature is a tendency and a potential, which is affected by the external environment in which it lives and will change with changes in the external environment. The author believes that human nature is not static, but changes with the environment. From one 个体to the big one 部落成员has this characteristic. The difference is that the evolution of the overall human nature of a large organization like a tribe takes much longer than that of an individual.
The author's point of view emphasizes that human nature is changeable and that human nature is easily influenced by the environment. The author also has a feeling that in addition to the external environment, human nature is also affected by our own subjective will . We can use our will to offset the impact of the external unfavorable environment, so that we can get out of the mud without staining it, and clean it without demons.
With an understanding of human nature, we need to understand that will change, either for the better or for the worse. As far as individuals are concerned, it is necessary to establish a good character : positive and motivated. At the same time, we should create a good external environment for ourselves, contact more outstanding people, and walk with them .
psychology and life
This is also a tome, and it is also a book that I have reserved for a long time.
This book is a classic and comprehensive work in psychology, covering the main research content of psychology. After reading it, you can have a systematic understanding of psychology. The author also did not read them all, but picked out a few interesting chapters to read.
Even if it is selective reading, I have benefited a lot from the content I have read.
For example, Chapter Ten 人的毕生发展:
It summarizes a person's various stages from birth to infancy, youth, adulthood, middle age, old age and even death, and lists in detail the things that should be done and the problems faced in each stage of life. One of the points is 用进废退the elaboration of the principle:
At the beginning of this chapter, we encouraged you to think of development as a process that is always accompanied by gains and losses. According to this, in life, the secret of success is to consolidate one's gains and minimize one's losses. In our opinion,
用进废退原则既适用于生命的生理方面，也适用于生命的认知方面. Many of the changes commonly thought to be age-related are actually due to disuse rather than decline. So our first piece of advice is: keep it.
Certain cognitive and physical abilities of a person regress if they are not used regularly. Many problems are not due to getting older, but because your skills, muscles and functional organs are used less .
There is also the introduction of the classics 马斯洛需求层次理论, 巴普洛夫经典条件etc., so I won’t go into details here, and interested friends can read and eat by themselves.
The following is the circle of friends I posted after reading the book:
It is really not enough to read this book once, so I will borrow and read it again when I find a chance.
Financial management
The author of financial management thinks that you should focus on reading Buffett's books and books 投资最重要的事. After reading them, you may not be able to guarantee that you will make a lot of money in the stock market, but for stock investment, you will have a thinking framework and methodology to help you make decisions.
Buffett's philosophy on investment can be summed up in one sentence: long-term, concentrated, and value investing , that is to say, for a valuable stock, it is necessary to invest time and money in it for a long time and concentrate on it, and hold it for at least 1-3 years.
This method is not only applicable to stocks, but also to being a person and doing things, you taste, you taste carefully~
Summarize
人性的弱点I think this book was misled by the Chinese title. The original title of this book How to make friends and influence people, in plain language 如何交朋友并影响他人, is a book worth reading.
In 2020, it is estimated that 5% of the time will be spent on reading, and I feel that I am slowly getting started in reading. I no longer value quantity, but pursue the quality of reading, so that I can read good books and apply what I have learned. Apply the valuable content in it to your own life.
Hope to meet more good books in 2021~
