First, listen to the book before reading. At present, there are many knowledge-paid open-book programs, such as listening to a book every day, reading in Fan Deng and so on. After appropriate subscription, you can listen, and the time for listening to books is very flexible. You can probably finish listening to a book while commuting and cooking. Moreover, through the interpretation of famous writers, I basically mastered the essence of books, which is a process of listening to books. After listening, if you are very interested in this book, buy it and read it carefully. For example, I bought four volumes of "Devil's Economics", because I listened to the explanation earlier and read it faster. I finished reading four books in one month.
Second, do some tidying up after reading it. This is an important step to internalize book knowledge. In the process of reading, you can sketch out useful knowledge with a pen at any time, or simply write some comments. After reading it, summarize the contents of the book with a mind map or other notes you like, which can be paper or electronic. In this process, the idea floating in the air will really land, and the logical context of the book will be clearer. Read more and summarize more, and you will find many viewpoints and even contradictions between knowledge. If it comes to this step, congratulations, you have a speculative consciousness and can form your own knowledge network.
Third, output mandatory input. As a teacher, I deeply know that the most effective means to test input is output. Therefore, when the book reaches a certain level, it is forced to write by itself. Reading and writing are a virtuous circle. Reading has its own speculation and experience, and instinctively wants to express it; In the process of expression, you will find your own shortcomings, so you will be more motivated and more targeted to read books to catch up. So don't just read, it's king to write while reading.
I wish you a happy reading ~
