Why does Ray like this book? Because LAY is a novice boss and doesn't know much about management, I want to see how others manage their own companies and lead their own teams through this book. And after reading dozens of pages in LAY, he felt that he had really gained a lot.
But after Mr Zhi 'an, Mr Shi Hang and Mr He Jiong heard that Lei shared his feelings about reading this book, their advice was that if you want to study management, you don't need to read this kind of book at all. This kind of book will only lead you into the ditch. The layman was surprised when he heard this view, and I was surprised when I heard it, because I like this kind of books as much as the layman, but Mr. You has not recommended me to read this kind of books before, and I am quite puzzled. Is this kind of book bad?
Whether a book is good or bad depends on how you read it.
There are many such books on the market now, such as how to manage a team, how to set up a company, how to make money, how to write, how to learn English quickly and so on. Nowadays, people are anxious and want to learn knowledge quickly, but they don't know how to learn, so they want to improve their ability and learn more by learning from other people's experience.
But sometimes the more we read, the more anxious we become. So, how should we read?
When they heard Lei reading this management book, the teachers asked, "Is this author a successful entrepreneur?" You may be curious to hear this sentence. Isn't it just a book? How can we talk about the author? In fact, when we choose a book, not only the content of the book, but also the author is very important.
Why do you say that? If an author is not successful in a certain field, but he publishes a book to teach you how to succeed, would you believe it if you saw such a book? In the same way, an author is very successful in his own field and shares his successful experience. Do you prefer reading his books just because you want to know about this field?
So when we choose books, the content is very important, but the author is also very important.
When choosing books, we can first know what the author does and what achievements he has made in this respect, not only the content of reading, but also for our online class registration. Choosing courses is very important, and teachers are more important.
The teachers said, if you study management, why don't you read some casual books? Ray asked the teachers what to read. Every teacher recommended a book to him. Let's see what idle books the teachers have recommended to lay down.
Visiting the zoo is a serious matter.
The author of this book is Petrifaction, and the Douban score is 8.5. Douban introduces this book in this way: it is a book about zoos, animal welfare, the relationship between people and animals, and how to watch animals. Through the process of "China Zoo Tour", we can know what kind of zoo is a good one, and then learn how to visit it.
The zoo seems to have nothing to do with management.
Why did Teacher Shi Hang recommend this book to the layman? That's what Teacher Shi Hang said. This book has a lot to do with the management book that LAY read today. Management is the same as the zoo. How do you make animals live comfortably and happily in it? It doesn't seem to be controlled, but there are certain rules. The knowledge learned from it is more useful than reading any management book.
Every zoo, like every company, can't directly see the management knowledge when reading this book, but it can also learn the management knowledge from the side.
The Human Element
Everyone has more than one side, maybe one side, maybe one side. Why did Teacher Zhi 'an recommend this book? In fact, this book is related to management. Because each of us has a different side, and management books just defined people's position too clearly, which is not in line with reality.
From this book, we can learn about different aspects of everyone, which may be more useful than watching management books.
Idle books don't directly tell us how to do the best, like managing books, but reading some idle books can make us more complicated and richer. Teacher Zhi 'an said, "If my boss knows more than me, I will be convinced." Think for yourself, are you like this?
Borrowing traces of the world from paper, enrichment is the best definition of idle books.
We want to improve our writing, and we have bought many books that teach us how to improve our writing, but we have mastered all the methods and still can't write them.
If you want to make your writing more beautiful, you can read prose. If you want to make your writing logic clearer, you can read novels or stories. You will find that these books do not directly tell us how to write an excellent article, but after reading these books, it is helpful for writing.
Every book has something worth reading, depending on how you read it. Because we are eager for success, but we don't know how to do it, we want to refer to other people's experience. Other people's experience sometimes suits us, and sometimes it doesn't. Therefore, when studying, we should start from ourselves and read this book from a critical point of view.
I saw a video on the Internet the other day, mainly about the book How to Conquer Beautiful Girls. The douban score of this book is as high as 8.2. Presumably, many people catch up with beautiful girls by this book. Want to conquer beautiful girls? Do you want to read this book? Do you think this book is a conspiracy theory book? There is a conspiracy, and there is no conspiracy.
This book tells you how to conquer beautiful girls from many angles.
For example, how to ask a girl out, there is such a case in the book.
In the art gallery, a boy asked a girl what you think of this painting. After the girl said some of her own opinions, the boy snorted, then pointed out the shortcomings of the painting and said a lot of opinions. In short, this painting is just a simple landscape painting. But with girls' appreciation of art, I know what this boy said is nonsense.
Finally, when the boy asked the girl out for dinner, he said, You can tell her more about this painting at dinner. Finally, at the dinner table, the boys admitted that what they just said was nonsense, just to get close to the girls.
Beautiful girls, if a boy accosts you like this, asks your opinion and then denies your opinion, will you accept his invitation? Keep him as far away as possible.
However, this book also has a lot to learn, such as never pestering a girl's advice, which is still worth learning.
So when reading, you should have the ability to distinguish what is suitable and what is not suitable, and don't accept it all.
In He Jiong's words, it is always good to like reading.
The correct reading method is not to read with the eyes but to read with the heart, not to recognize with the brain but to practice with the body.
Whether it is a "conspiracy book", a leisure book or other types of books, the most successful reading is to apply the knowledge in the book to practice and turn it into your own use.
