How to read the book? How did Fan Deng study? -20180903

I often listen to Fan Deng reading recently, and I am very envious. How can Fan Deng quickly extract the books that I have not finished all year long, and the logic is so rigorous that it is even better than reading it myself. .

I also like to read books, but every time I forget whether I understand it very well after reading it, and I don’t understand anything after reading it. I have also discussed this with my lover, who is the kind of person who has very logical thinking and has a very strong ability to teach himself to read. A person who has not read for more than ten years after graduation can read and pass the postgraduate entrance examination in just over a month. I really envy such a top student.

Sharing from a lover: When reading a book, you must ask yourself: What does the author want to express? How did he prove his point? What did you gain after reading it?

I really want to ask Teacher Fan Deng for advice, but I don’t have the opportunity for the time being. I didn’t expect that there are some explanations online. Collected for later use:

Teacher Fan Deng’s reading method is typical of “read the book thick first, then read the book thin”.

First, let’s talk about how Teacher Fan Deng reads thick books.

If you read Teacher Fan Deng's "Work is the Best Practice" for yourself, you will first find that Teacher Fan Deng is particular about selecting books. We call this book selection mode thematic reading, and all the books selected are related to work.

I made a rough classification.

1 Work mentality book for newcomers in the workplace: "Working Method" and "Craftsman Spirit".

2 Work method books for elite professionals: "Get It Done: The Art of Stress-Free Work", "End Procrastination", "Transient: 9 Ways to Make Change Easier", "Deliberate Practice: How to Start with Novice Becomes a Master", "Crucial Conversations: How to Communicate Efficiently", "3rd Choice: Key Thinking to Solve All Problems".

3 Job Promotion Books for Workplace Supervisors: "Founder: How New Managers Spend Their First 90 Days", "High Performance Coaching", "Crisis Leadership: Ten Ways to Lead Teams to Solve Crisis" ", "Who says business intuition is innate", "From 0 to 1: Uncovering the secrets of business and the future", "Let the elephant fly".

You will find that these books not only focus on the workplace, but also form a career growth line. No matter what age group you are, you can find a profitable book from the books recommended by Teacher Fan Deng. .

The series revolves around the theme of "workplace growth". Teacher Fan Deng has selected 14 foreign books for everyone. This is already a process of reading thick books. So these 14 books, Fan Deng How did Mr. Den read it himself?

I found that when Teacher Fan Deng talks about a book, he does not simply repeat the cases and opinions of the book. He uses three techniques to increase the interpretation of a book.

1 Read the background. Teacher Fan Deng will introduce the author's background and his stories, such as the story of Kazuo Inamori's founding of Kyocera and the story of saving JAL, which are very beneficial to understanding the work philosophy in his book. Sometimes a book will lose information if it is separated from the author's growth background and the development trends of the times. However, if you read these contents together, the taste will be different, just like a bottle of fine steak. The best red wine doubles the enjoyment.

2 Reading experience. Regarding the viewpoints in the book, Teacher Fan Deng will tell his own experiences, his own stories, and reflect on his own emotions. Some of them will extend the connotation, and some will reflect on himself. This processing gives many details of the book localized elements of China. , easier to understand and easier to produce cries.

3 Read Tashan. Teacher Fan Deng reads a lot, and he will not let this advantage go easily. Therefore, when explaining the views in the book, a common routine used by Teacher Fan Deng is to use cases from Chinese classics and history to prove it. After all, he has read "The Analects of Confucius" in one year. "People who have read it 15 times. Another trick is to use another book's point of view to confirm it when mentioning the point of view of one book. In this way, a book can be read in a different way and brought into critical thinking. As the saying goes, "Believe everything in the book." It’s better to have no books.”

It’s easier said than done. Teacher Fan Deng can draw lessons from many sources. Firstly, he must read more by himself. Secondly, he must be willing to put in the effort to sort out his reading notes. Otherwise, “you will regret not having enough books until you use them.” .

?For ordinary people to learn, they really need some real accumulation.

Second, how does Teacher Fan Deng read thin books?

The answer is actually very simple, it is mind mapping. However, Teacher Fan Deng obviously saw the weakness of the mind map. If it is drawn as a tree diagram, it looks cool, but it is very inconvenient to browse while reading a book, so he actually improved the mind map and turned it into a key point structure. Shu, each book summarizes the key points structure for you. As a "knowledge map" appendix to each book, I think this format is quite good.

For example, the layout and density are more suitable for written reading. You can also add your own insights, which is more suitable for sharing than hand-drawn maps.

The mind map is as above

How to read the book? How to extract the key points? How to build a knowledge base? How to build a knowledge system? Why can Fan Deng make the book so fascinating?

What I gained after finishing writing:

1. Before reading, ask yourself: What does the author want to express? How is it proved? What am I going to learn from this?

2. What kind of person is the author? What have you experienced? What period/stage was this book written by the author, and what was his emotional state? What did he want to express through the book?

3. What is the structural system of the book? What's the point?

4. What did I gain from reading this book? Mind map!
