If reading is just a pastime for you, you can read as much as you like. If you want to gain something from reading, you should concentrate on reading, read with your brain, think more, and take notes during and after reading. From the overall reading strategy, we should achieve three degrees: width, depth and height.

1, the first is breadth, and the so-called breadth means extensive and extensive reading.

Extensive reading has many advantages, such as these three I found in the actual reading process:

Extensive reading can help you cultivate your interest in reading. Many times we are not interested in reading, often because we have less reading and contact, and think reading is a hard job. Read more books and you will meet all kinds of people and learn all kinds of interesting knowledge. Slowly, you will like reading more and more, and cultivate your interest in reading.

Extensive and extensive reading can help you master knowledge and broaden your thinking and problem-solving ideas. Knowledge never exists alone, knowledge is interlinked, and knowledge and knowledge are inextricably linked. You can often find simple solutions to the problems you encounter in another field.

Extensive reading can make you read faster and more efficiently. The main reason why a person can't understand a book slowly is that he doesn't have enough background knowledge in his mind. Many contents are new and important, so he can't understand it slowly. This is also a reason why I recommend learning "elite fast reading". Through fast reading, more reading can be achieved, which in turn can help fast reading and form a virtuous circle.

2, followed by depth, with depth, you can accumulate heritage.

Depth is different from breadth. A simple sentence is "not only know what it is, but also know why", so as to cultivate your systematic knowledge and professionalism. There are two ways to cultivate reading depth: extended reading and theme reading. If you have read five or six books or even a dozen books on a certain subject, you will know this subject better than most people. Read more books, think more and study more, then you will have a very systematic understanding and understanding of this subject, become proficient, and even become a semi-expert.

Theme reading is also my own common way, because in different books under the same theme, different authors will have different views and opinions on the same thing. This is very helpful for us to build our own knowledge system under this theme or field.

3, followed by height, which is based on the breadth and depth of vision and thinking.

For example, in the face of the same thing, some people can quickly see the essence and make it clear with a simple sentence and a concept; However, some people need to spend a long time and help others to understand and understand.

For a high degree of cultivation, you can build a framework by reading some industry classic books and famous opinions, and then fill in the content through the above-mentioned extensive reading and theme reading. In this way, the height is slowly cultivated.

The breadth, depth and height of reading are integrated, just like the length, width and height of a cuboid, and they are indispensable. These three factors determine the amount of knowledge in your mind. The more knowledge you have in your mind, the more effective your subsequent reading will be.

You may say, how can I have so much time and energy? Actually, you do! You just need to make less excuses for yourself, play less mobile phones, learn to read quickly and other ways to improve reading efficiency, and time and energy will not be a problem.
