As adults, we all need to study purposefully. I just hope to improve myself through reading, and I also hope to reserve more knowledge and solve more problems in my work through reading.
Zhou Shankou, the author of Reading Comprehension, once worked in Dentsu Bosideng Consulting Group, and participated in KORN FERRY's headhunting company, specializing in the training of organizational development talents. Majors train talents and managers for innovative organizations. At the same time, he is an independent director of Mobile Phone Factory Co., Ltd. and a part-time lecturer of hitotsubashi university Management Research Department. At the same time, his works also include Aesthetic Consciousness: Why are business elites cultivating aesthetic feeling? Learn to read efficiently in the era of doing things.
Although Yamaguchi Zhou graduated from the Department of Philosophy and Art History, he mastered a set of "efficient reading rules", entered a foreign-funded consulting company after graduation, successfully published many books in the business field, and worked as a lecturer and professor in training institutions. Today, we will learn this set of "efficient reading rules" of Yamaguchi Zhou to help us achieve lifelong growth through reading.
Er Zhicheng, the author of the best-selling Korean book "You can't read, but you still want to succeed", started reading at the age of 2/kloc-0. In seven years, he has read 2500 books, but he is still in debt of 4 million. At the age of 28, he changed his way of thinking about reading, not only paid off his debts, but also became a vice president from the bottom of the enterprise, finally realizing financial freedom and publishing his life experiences into a book.
Why is there such a big difference before and after learning to be sincere? That's because Er Zhicheng regarded reading as a result in the first seven years, and thought that as long as he read more, he could become a writer and change all the embarrassment in his life. Although he has read 2500 books, this aimless reading has not brought him any promotion, but has made Er Zhicheng more and more confused.
When he studied purposefully and followed up the targeted reading books at different stages, he applied the knowledge after reading to his work and combined with specific things, his work was promoted and his life was greatly changed.
In contrast, the author Yamaguchi Zhou's reading purpose is very clear. In his twenties, he worked in a large advertising company, and in his thirties, he worked in a foreign strategic consulting company. Because he didn't study management from the business school system, he had to study by himself by reading books. It is precisely because of this that he was able to work as a teacher and lecturer in various educational institutions and business schools in Japan, such as GLOBIS, since he was about 35 years old. And all this knowledge benefited from his self-study by reading business books.
Because Zhou Yamaguchi himself has been specializing in art history and has not received any formal business education, he knows that he needs to learn and improve this knowledge and hopes that he can be competent as a consultant, so it is very important to find the purpose of learning.
The author Yamaguchi believes that the "two books" that we adults should read most are business and general education. These two books have their own reading methods. Only by mastering the correct reading methods can we read these classic books effectively, and after reading them, we can apply the knowledge in the books to our lives and work through output and specific things.
Reading is not about how many books you read, but about turning them into your own knowledge output and application after reading. This kind of reading is the most meaningful and can help you grow up quickly.
1. Required reading 7 1 Business book Datura.
The author believes that if you want to improve yourself through reading and apply what you have learned to your work, you can't read blindly. In this book, he published 7 1 YEATION's elite books without reservation. These books are suitable for white-collar workers engaged in knowledge production, no matter what industry or occupation.
According to the structure of Shang Shu Datura, starting from the center of Datura, the author thinks that reading at most the second level is enough for basic education. If you want to be an expert, you can read and study the next level of books.
Excellent people are reading all kinds of general books.
With regard to the importance of reading general books, the author summed up his decades of work career: not only the foreign-funded consulting companies I have worked in for more than ten years, but also the managers I have contacted so far, as well as Dentsu, who has worked in his twenties, can be called "elites", not only reading business books, but also reading various kinds of books.
General books run through our whole career and are a supplement to knowledge other than business books. With the constant change of working environment, many problems are increasing. Reading general books inspires us with "human nature" or "organizational and social characteristics" and brings us great help.
If you want to read efficiently, you must first understand that "efficient" means to extract important knowledge points from the book quickly. The author of this paper introduces us to a "Pareto rule", which can be simply summarized as: in all fields, 80% of the results are produced from 20% of the whole.
The author mentioned in the article that the way to find out the 20% essence content is: when scanning the book catalogue, if there are any concluding chapters such as "general introduction" or "conclusion", read from here. Among the many chapters in the catalogue, find a chapter as a summary and read it from beginning to end. If you can't find a chapter in the table of contents as a summary, then find the chapter that interests you most or attracts you most.
In addition, there are two ways to really use the books you read. The first way is to extract the key parts to ensure that they can be retrieved at any time. The second is: Have the opportunity to visit again often. In this way, these key parts will be revisited constantly, and some better ideas will appear in my mind.
Write to the end
The author Yamaguchi Zhou also gave us a lot of enlightenment by introducing in detail his self-study and successful cross-bank study through reading: reading is the lowest cost of investing in ourselves, and we can all turn knowledge into our core competitiveness through reading. This book is all dry goods. It is highly recommended that you read it carefully!
