There are three types of books, one is to clarify ideas and strengthen cognition, the second is to open minds and improve cognition, and the third is to confuse ideas and lower cognition.
The essence of a book is cognitive output.
As an exporter, we should avoid the third category and pursue the second category, when in fact, we should hover in the first category.
As a recipient, you instinctively like the first category, where the empirical theories are all here, and the words that resonate with you are here. The second category, on the other hand, seems laborious and difficult to accept. For the third group, most people will not be immersed in it unless they are idle.
Someone once suggested that an online writer should try to improve his writing skills to give back to his readers. After hearing this, the writer waved his hand again and again, saying that if he improved his writing skills, he would lose a large number of fans. It can be seen that the first type of audience has the largest number of audiences, and the exporters are also the most beneficial.
There are thousands of people, all kinds of people, people are divided into groups, and things are gathered by like. If it corresponds to Maslow's needs theory, the crowd may be roughly divided into the biological instinct layer, the emotional layer, and the rational and rational layer. The higher the level, the smaller the number of people, presenting a pyramid structure.
One layer has a layer of vision, one layer has a layer of interests, and the vision and interests form the core. Background, genes, experience, education, opportunities, and environment constitute the vision, and interests determine the position.
The transition of electrons from a lower energy level to a higher energy level requires energy absorption, and people also need to absorb energy if they want to break through the limitations of this level. This energy comes from material accumulation, but also from cognitive improvement.
Not all books can be beneficial.
The first type of book speaks for this level, safeguards interests, integrates the system, and forms a joint force. Readers resonate strongly, which in turn creates a sense of belonging. The biggest effect of reading this kind of book is to clarify the mind, solidify the cognition, and keep people in this layer.
The second category of books, the first category of books one level higher, is the second category of books for those who are one level lower. The first reading opens your eyes, then you read to solve your doubts, and you read deeply to promote reflection. The biggest role of this kind of book is to open the eyes, improve cognition, and give the energy to break through the level.
The third category of books, the first category of books one level lower, is the third category of books for the higher level. It's easy to read, and it's refreshing to watch. For most people, the biggest effect of this kind of book is to get the audience into their comfort zone quickly and kill the boring time.
However, there are exceptions to everything, and for people who are good at thinking and understanding, any kind of book, looking up, looking down, looking down, and reading the meaning from different perspectives, can benefit from it.
From "hard work is important, choice is more important", "reading is important, choosing books is more important".
Most people in the animal instinct layer are not interested in reading books, people in the emotional layer choose books based on preferences, and people in the rational and rational layer choose books based on needs.
Casting a wide net, reading a wide range of books, combining careful reading, referring to the book lists of high-level people, making a list of questions, looking for books. can be a method of book selection.
Pick one or two books in an unfamiliar field and read them patiently, the more boring it is, the greater the harvest may be. The last page that has just been closed may be another door, opening a new realm.
