Why can't you read a lot of books?

I fell in love with reading in the last six months, but I always like reading personal growth books. Every time I see some good ideas, I can't help sharing them with my daughter. One day I read a good book and shared it with my daughter. The daughter said, "I don't like this kind of book very much." I recommend one for you. After reading this book, I will definitely change your cognition. "

The result is Krishnamurti's The World is in Your Heart. You must read the books recommended by your daughter carefully, so that you can participate more in the intimate relationship between mother and daughter. As a result, after opening a few pages, you find it so difficult to chew, and you still know every word. How to spell it will burn your brain. Trying to find out why, what is the reason why I can't read these books? Finally, the following points are summarized:

1. Insufficient knowledge reserve.

That is, the reading volume is relatively small, and the concepts in many books are new contact, so it is very difficult to understand. For example, when I first came into contact with the concept of "metacognitive ability", I read it several times and finally understood it. Later, it was found that it was much easier to read when it was mentioned in many books, so the knowledge understood in the first book would not be so easy to understand in the later reading process.

2. Do not understand the historical background of books

What impressed me most was reading the book Resurrection, which is a classic novel. When I was a student, my teacher often recommended this book. I was reading for the sake of reading classics. In fact, I didn't understand its meaning after reading it. Reading this book again will make you feel different every time. After reading it for the first time, I can only feel the suffering of the heroine.

The author of this book is lev tolstoy,1the greatest Russian critical realist writer in the late 9th century and early 20th century. Tolstoy's thought is full of contradictions, which reflects the complex contradictions in Russian society. The author vividly depicts a real picture of Russian society. When you really understand the background of the author's writing this book, it will be much easier to read.

3. The author's writing habits

Many difficult books we meet have to be translated from abroad. The habits of foreign authors are different, and the expression of words is different. China's writing habits feel very smooth.

How can we solve these problems?

1, when I think a book is difficult to read, I first read the book reviews to find out what the book is about, and then read the table of contents. In fact, every book has its own mission. The process of reading is to find out what problems this book solves and grasp the context and key points of this book. In fact, no matter how complicated the book is, it has its own structure.

Read this book with questions. After reading this book, you will learn something, a truth and some new knowledge. Finish reading a book. Just remember a little knowledge is enough.

2. Read a wide range of books. As far as I used to like reading personal growth books, I read for a purpose. I went to books to find an answer to a question. I didn't want to read more books that were not involved, such as science and technology, history, economy and classic novels. I don't want to read more books at all, because they are useless to me at present.

Reading with a purpose, you can read more smoothly, which is actually what is around your comfort zone. A book without a purpose is more valuable. Reading all kinds of books freely is like suddenly jumping into an unknown dark area. You will slowly explore this unknown dark area. When you find a bright spot, and then slowly expand, your whole brain begins to enrich.

Generally speaking, you still have to spend time reading books that you find difficult to understand. When you read books in many fields, you can read more books.

In this way, when you meet many books written by foreign authors, improve your concentration and carefully taste the meaning of the books. Although your writing habits are somewhat different, when you have enough knowledge, you will certainly be able to read them.
