What books can you read in college to broaden your horizons and appear thoughtful?
"Communication" refers to contact and mastery, and "knowledge" refers to knowledge, equipment and integration. This list of general education books aims to improve one's vision and establish one's understanding of the world by learning different knowledge books. I recommend 20 books, all of which I have read, which are very enlightening and broaden my horizons. Also welcome to leave a message for recommendation. The book list refers to the books read by "university", so according to this age group, it is recommended to be suitable and not extreme. 1, The Republic [Ancient Greece] Plato recommended the reason in one sentence. The old, the old and the older generation all have profound discussions on human nature, politics and philosophy, and their views are timeless. Most importantly, this book is almost the first bibliography required or recommended by famous American universities! One! Bit! 2, "The Little Prince" [France] Saint-Exupery's recommendation reason is actually a general list of books, but I think literature is also a common sense, so I recommend this one. Many children's shoes must have been learned in high school. You can read it several times, and gradually understand what you don't understand. They are very classic. 3, "The Wealth of Nations" [English] Adam Smith recommended classics in one sentence, lasting forever. Adam Smith's understanding of economics has a lot to ponder and enlighten. As for the translation, look at the Commercial Press and Zhonghua Book Company and buy it with their eyes closed. 4, "History of Western Philosophy" [English] Russell's one-sentence recommendation reason Russell has always had more private goods ~ The context and development may not be so clear, but the characters and their thoughts are very lively! It is also a super interesting book, all kinds of gossip stories ~ 5. The principle of marketing [America] philip kotler recommended the reason in one sentence. Kotler, the father of American marketing, is a book that best embodies his core ideas. Although the topic is like a textbook, the content is very interesting, readable and seemingly marketing knowledge. Many methodologies are classic and can be integrated into various fields. 13 version can't stop. 6. Global History [America] The reason why Stavri Anoos recommended a new dimension! Most of the history I came into contact with before was domestic textbooks. Thinking about the world from a western perspective is very innovative! Reading for six or seven hours at a time is not a problem! 7. Principles of Economics [America] N Gregory Man Kun recommended the reasons in one sentence. Non-economic majors are strongly recommended to read Man Kun's works. It is also a book with an interesting name, like a textbook! It's not scripted, it's not rote learning, but it's like a series of stories that you can teach yourself! 8. "How to read a book" [America] Mortimer J. Ajdero recommended a reason not to tell me that you can read this book first. Everyone who loves reading should finish reading this book as soon as possible, so that you can avoid taking many detours. This book is a bit controversial, but I think it opens up new ideas for my own reading. 9. "Intimacy" [Plus] Christopher Meng recommended reasons in one sentence. Falling in love in college is a compulsory course. You can read this book. Not only lovers but also friends often follow certain rules, so that you can better understand friendship and love. 10, Mob [French] Gustave Le Bon recommended that college students read it in one sentence. There are not many reasons. Although it has been a long time, the thinking and methodology embodied in the book are enlightening. This recommended version of Feng Keli should have a 30-page introduction at the beginning. There are many examples in the book that are close to our real life, and there are also views that we can refute with life examples. How to choose and accept depends on your own thinking. 1 1, "Does God roll dice?" Cao Tianyuan recommended a sentence. Non-science students are highly recommended to read. After all, we should know what Schrodinger's cat and wave-particle duality are. Although the theory is shallow, it is enough from a historical point of view. Wonderful pen makes flowers, push hard! 12, "40 studies of change psychology" [America] A sentence recommended by Roger Locke Many people say why they don't recommend psychology textbooks, because I have read them and feel very tired, but it was not until I met this book that I was enlightened! Introduction to psychology, recommend this one! 13, Feng Youlan, the history of China philosophy, recommended a sentence with good reasons, clear organization, fluency and readability. The comparative analysis of the history of western philosophy is fascinating! 14, "Self-control" [America] Kelly Magnag recommended the reason in one sentence. Although this book has been rotten by a lot of chicken soup, it is recommended to tell you scientifically how to become a real self-controlled human being. The gospel of procrastination is wonderful. I believe that young people who scold this book every day should not have practiced it. 15, "Thinking Technology" [Japan] Kenichi Ohmae recommended a sentence. I thought about it and decided to recommend this book. The content is more detailed and harsh, and the thinking ability is very much needed in universities. It's worth reading and rereading. Japanese rigorous thinking is worth learning. 16, "Hacker and Painter" [America] A sentence recommended by paul graham Some people think this book is too biased, but I think it is actually good. The topic is very miscellaneous. Non-computer majors can skip the part about programming, but the content about student times, design criteria, gap between rich and poor, technology and so on is great! 17, The Course of American Constitutionalism Ren Donglai/Chen Wei/Bai Xuefeng recommended a good book that will definitely broaden your horizons! Through more than a dozen cases, this paper tells how the United States gradually became a constitutional country based on the Constitution. Personally, I think it is much better than the details of democracy. 18, "Understanding Art" [America] Mark Gatlane recommended the reason in one sentence, and the art introductory books opened a new world for spiritual life! Lots of dry goods! And the inside pages are so beautiful that I bought the collection directly. 19, Ye Jiaying's one-sentence recommendation reason in Jialing Yan is highly recommended! As for China's classical poems, I read China's classical poems in combination with western literary theories. After reading this book, I think it will improve the aesthetic and appreciation ability of ordinary college students for classical poetry. 20, "China" [America] Peter Hessler recommended the last book in one sentence. I must be a little selfish. I like a book very much. Compared with Jiangcheng, I prefer its documentary and objectivity. The charm of words lies not in the splendor of words, but in the real purification, reflection on life and observation of the world, which touched people at that time. Conclusion After the book list is recommended, 20 books can't cover all fields, and there are still many classic books that you need to find in the library yourself. Interest is the best teacher. It is suggested to cultivate the habit of reading from books that interest you. One last suggestion: cherish your time, cherish every opportunity the world gives you, just like cherish your eyes.
