A good book always touches the deepest parts of your heart, and the book "Cognitive Awakening" has touched the deepest part of your heart from the first page, and it is not an exaggeration to describe it as daigo empowerment.
Here I've excerpted some of the book to see if it touches the deepest part of your heart!
1, reading is to chat with high-level people, give reading such a meaning, the internal motivation will be completely different! (Is it that you also have a lot of books and a lot of reading)
2. When reading a book, do not seek to remember all the knowledge in the book, as long as there are one or two points of view that have prompted you to make a real change, it is enough to gain and significance than reading a lot of books but only staying at the level of knowing. Often guide ourselves with such standards, we will gain more and more, anxiety will be less and less, patience will naturally become stronger and stronger. (There is no feeling of reading a lot of books, but do not remember a little, you can try this method instead)
3, excellent people are more inclined to do high-energy things, such as the secret of 'learning bully' is often on their wrong book - they are more willing to spend time to clarify the mistakes and concentrate on overcoming them. Students with average academic performance prefer to diligently repeat the parts that have been mastered, turn a blind eye to the real difficult choices, and hope to prevaricate, and the result is that the ambiguity accumulates more and more, so that they are unable to cope! (Is it a way to provide us with a way to learn or a way to guide children to learn)
4, the moment you wake up in the morning, the moment you pick up your phone, the moment you get home... We all have to face choices, and we have to actively expend our brains to examine them. It can be more tiring, but this is the perfect time to exercise metacognitive abilities, like lifting a dumbbell to make your rational brain stronger. (Think about it to see if we are also subconsciously left to find a mobile phone first when we wake up in the morning, and then come home from work and immediately look at the phone on the couch or watch TV...) ）
5, no matter where we are, what we experience, as long as the reality is slightly unsatisfactory, we can let the mind go to heaven and earth, escape the predicament in an instant, and enjoy the comfort and pleasure of imagination. In other words, the cost of distraction is too low, and human nature is eager and easy to take refuge, so in the default situation, we will unconsciously stay in the spiritual comfort zone.
6, when the mind is wandering, either immersed in the past, or worried about the future, or fantasizing about the impossible situation, the mind can let us live at any time but can not let us live in the present. And life is composed of fragments of the present, the fragments of physical and mental unity are composed of a high-quality life of happiness and concentration, and the fragments of physical and mental separation are composed of a low-quality life of distraction and distraction. (Have we been bothered by distractions, procrastination and inefficiency?)

The author also mentions many novel concepts to help us grow and learn!
1. The edge of the comfort zone
If you want to grow efficiently, you must always keep yourself on the edge of the comfort zone, rushing to the difficult zone will make yourself frustrated, and staying in the comfort zone will make yourself stagnate!
2. Proportion of the right to growth
For learning, thinking after learning, thinking after thinking, and changing after action are more important, if you don't focus on the amount of change in the inner layer, then investing more in the surface layer will also be half the work!
3. Learning platform period
In the face of long-term cold silence and setbacks, we can make different choices from others - continue to persevere, and we can definitely see the upward period!
