You may be surprised to see the title of this article. Ordinary people read books for knowledge needs and emotional satisfaction, so articles about reading teach people to read good books and advocate purposeful reading. This kind of "reading for no reason" seems unreasonable. But there may be some truth in what is said here.
In many cases, knowledge and wisdom have a mechanism of analogy, which is called "sudden induction" or "accidental induction" in behavioral psychology. Both parties "watched" the apple fall to the ground and the kettle boil for no reason, but the effect they received was greater than what they wanted to see, which is the same as the mechanism that "reading for no reason" can get unexpected gains.
This is an anecdote about "reading for no reason" but benefiting from books. The famous comedian Chaplin made a famous film "The Big Thoreau", satirizing Hitler. Among them, Hitler was transformed into a barber, and Hitler played with a globe, symbolizing the devil's ambition to conquer the world. These are ingenious and wonderful scenes. According to Chaplin's self-report, once he occasionally turned over a magazine during his trip and saw a satirical sketch in which a barber wrote that he practiced shaving with a ball at home because of his poor health, while turning the ball and shaving with a razor. He was inspired by this little article he accidentally saw, and he was inspired by these wonderful shots when he was filming.
(4) There is a proverb called "intentionally planting flowers without hair, unintentionally inserting willows into the shade". When you don't intend to pursue it, knowledge and wisdom do sometimes enter your memory. Once the time is right, it will be more useful than looking for them.
5 Most of the time, of course, we should pay attention to the purpose of reading and concentrate on our major; However, it does not mean that reading any book must have a certain purpose. Also read books that have nothing to do with your business. The wider your interests, the better. Don't tie yourself to a tree. Some people who have developed the habit of reading feel bitter without reading; Some people regard reading as a kind of rest in their hard work, instead of reading a book and deciding what kind of use it will have, that is, "reading for no reason." But over time, you can really gain knowledge, insight and benefits. What is the purpose of "reading for no reason", for a broad purpose in life. This is probably the word "open book is beneficial"!
