"Crossing the Impossible": I hope that everyone will have the courage to dream

The recommended book today is Crossing the Impossible. The last book on my Learning List for January. Why this one? Because this book talks about 4 parts, it can also be said that 4 tools cross the impossible, basically the previous 22 books have been involved, just to summarize.

The book gives 4 tools to cross the impossible, namely motivation, learning, creativity, and flow.

Motivation, learning, and creativity I think complement each other. It is related to the "Mentality", "Curiosity", "Willpower", "Perseverance", and "Self-Driving Growth" that we wrote before.

And learning power he gave four parts, knowledge filtering, reading, knowledge acquisition, skill learning. It's very important that the author separates the knowledge and skills, which is also a very important part of what I think.

Nowadays, people take it for granted that they will know, but in fact, it is much worse, see "Deliberate Practice", "Puzzle: Mental Model Determines Your Life", "Cognitive Nature", "Transition: Techniques for Becoming a Master".

The third is creativity, and this book talks about the three major networks in our brain science, paying attention to the network, the default mode network, highlighting the network, and improving itself. I suggest a breakthrough in combination with "Out of the Quagmire of Thinking" and "Leapfrog Growth".

The fourth is "flow.". Flow I will not talk more about, there is a book "Flow", it is difficult to explain clearly, flow as a method is not as good as a state.

To be driven, to learn, to be creative, and to be able to enter the state of flow is a very ideal state of doing things. Everyone hopes to get to this state, and it is also the direction of the learner's progress.

Introducing the author, [American] Steven Kotler, a global flow experience expert and peak performance expert, is the author of best-selling books such as "Fearless Entrepreneurship" and "Abundance".

The golden sentence of the book:

1. We've found that if you want to maximize motivation and productivity, setting difficult goals leads to optimal results. Large goals are significantly better than small, medium, and vague goals.

2. If we learn something that allows us to be our true selves, we can move forward faster.

3. Think of it this way: If you knew you could improve your performance by 500%, what impossible challenges would you tackle? What if your creativity could be increased by 600%? What if you could cut your study time in half? That's exactly what the tools and techniques in this book have to offer, which means that everyone is at their fingertips.

As a bestseller, this book is very qualified to be compatible with the content of many other books, and I think it is very well organized, which is very helpful for me to organize the books and knowledge points of my learning ability.

Recommended to everyone is to let everyone benchmark themselves, or their own children, where is the difference. It's almost New Year's, and recently my friends around me have been talking about parenting education, and as a lifelong learner and learning researcher, I would like to ask, have you ever thought about what kind of child is the child you want. Most parents have not thought about this problem, parents are just other people's children, other people's children have only one characteristic, everywhere is stronger than your family. So where are the points? In fact, parents do not know. This is where I find it very sad.

After so many years of studying and reading so many books, I know what kind of person I want to be, what kind of person I want my children to be, which is more important than anything else.

I don't know if you know what you want your child to be. I want everyone to have the courage to dream.
