Then choose several interesting directions for intensive reading, which will have a positive effect on the establishment of life goals and future planning.
Here, I recommend some classic works in various fields to freshmen. They are all relatively easy-to-understand introductory books, and beginners can also read them.
1. If? Those weird and worrying questions. "
A super interesting popular science book, 20 14 the best-selling interesting popular science book in America.
The author explained the problems in various fields in plain language and cartoons drawn by the author himself.
I have to admire the author's imagination and rich professional knowledge. Sometimes you don't know from which angle to answer these open-minded questions.
take for example
"What will happen if everyone on the earth tries to squeeze into the same place, jump together and land at the same time in an instant?"
"Will you be dehydrated if you cry too much?"
A book that is very suitable for reading in fragmented time. Every question is independent and irrelevant.
If you are curious about the world and like to think, then this book is very suitable for you.
2. What have philosophers done?
Douban TOP 10 ranks sixth in the list of popular books on philosophy history, with a score of 8.6.
It is very suitable for people who are interested in philosophy but find philosophy books boring and obscure.
The language of this book is easy to understand, and basically the whole book is in vernacular.
The author interprets complex philosophical concepts in humorous language, which sweeps away people's impressions of philosophical books and makes them easier for beginners to read.
Almost every generation of philosophers, including their thoughts, has an introduction. After reading it, the most direct feeling is that I have a strong interest in philosophy.
Because I used to think that philosophy is a very complicated and difficult subject, but in fact it is very close to life, very practical and easy to make people think, thus arousing curiosity that has been sleeping for a long time.
Step 3 make a wise decision
The author Stephen P. Robbins is an American management master, and his book Management is the most classic management textbook in the world.
I like the introduction of this book very much.
Our life is made up of decisions, so "making decisions" can be called a necessary skill for survival.
It is this sentence that aroused my great interest in this book.
The central idea of this book is to teach you how to make a good decision.
The book does not give a general formula, and the second is to give corresponding suggestions for people with different personalities.
It also lists people's common psychological traps, which are often the chief culprit that leads us to make wrong decisions. Therefore, recognizing them can effectively help us make good decisions.
In our daily life, or when faced with important choices, we are often entangled and forced, because the decision-making skills have not been taught since childhood, and now we finally have a good book.
I think everyone should read this book and study hard to understand and learn the necessary skills in life.
4. Energy consumption monitoring
Energy Management is the masterpiece of Jim Loehr, a world-famous psychologist, and CEOTony Schwartz, an energy project organization.
The main purpose of this book is to guide us how to study and work with full spirit and vitality every day.
This book corrects a misconception of many people, "thinking that you can study and work efficiently if you manage your time well."
Managing energy is more important than managing time, because the author thinks that as long as you are energetic, the work on the agenda can be perfectly executed, and managing energy is more important than managing time.
The author believes that positive physical fitness, focused thinking, linked emotions and introspective will are all energetic performances, and the main content of the full text is to teach you how to acquire and maintain.
Step 5 control yourself
TOP 10, a popular psychology book in Douban, is the seventh highest-scoring book on the list.
Self-control can be said to be a skill urgently needed by contemporary young people.
"I can't help glancing at my mobile phone when I study", "I can't help sneaking into a tea shop when I pass by when I lose weight" and "I can't help staying up late"
These are all manifestations of lack of self-control.
People who know how to control themselves are often excellent. They know what they need, and in the process of working in this direction, they can resist all external temptations. They never procrastinate, and their execution is super strong, because they know how to control themselves.
These recommended books should be available in the school library, because they are classic. If you don't have a virgin plot for books, it is recommended to borrow them first. If you think it is good, consider buying it.
