Not to mention the benefits of reading, reading may be our only chance to make use of the world.
What experience can a person have in these decades? Most people just live repeatedly. Reading may be one of the few ways to help us expand our understanding of the world.
Knowing how big the world is, you won't be affected by a little thing. Knowing how big the target world is, you will know the direction of life.
The books read by the master seem to be of no practical use, or they can't be used immediately after reading, but they all shape our personal basic materials.
I have always believed that people are the foundation of everything. There are few bestsellers in this book list. Not that bestsellers are bad. You know everything. I don't need to recommend it.
I have read all these books, and most of them took a long time to finish. I dare to recommend them to you after my own experience.
Friends who like reading, study hard with the master!
The following is today's book list.
0 1
Simple logic
This book is recommended by my consultant to improve thinking and is an introductory reading for training logic.
It doesn't have a long theory, but it talks about some very practical logical thinking tools, which can be used basically after reading it. After reading this book, you will find many logical misunderstandings, and how many thinking fallacies come from it.
People who know logic don't just say, "I know everything you say. Isn't that what you said?" After labeling, you will never know more.
If you feel that your thinking is not clear and your logic is not solid enough, you need to supplement your logic knowledge. Nothing is more suitable for Xiao Bai than this book.
If you have a basic logical foundation, you can read Learn to Ask Questions and Think Critically (Richard Paul).

Scott Plous's decisions and judgments
This book is also a powerful study of the theme of thinking, and it is also a very classic old book, which is actually very easy to read. There are a large number of cases in it, and each chapter clearly expounds a decision-making and cognitive problem.
Just as people excessively pursue the coordination of cognition and the unity of self-cognition, once reality and cognition are not unified, people will be very painful.
Through a series of experiments, we can help you understand how people make decisions and what factors will affect our choices.
We can use some knowledge, but we don't understand the principle inside. This book not only allows you to make a decision, but also allows you to understand the influence mechanism behind the decision.
There are many questions that I couldn't figure out in the past, and the answers can be found here.

The game changed the world, Jane McGonigal.
In this world, everyone has a common hobby, which has been affecting the "gamification" of human thinking.
Some parents and children are addicted to games. We can't always treat him like a scourge, and we can't just run away. To really solve the problem, we must approach it and understand it.
This book can give you a deep understanding of the principles behind the game. Why are people addicted to games? What is the most attractive part of the game? What kind of mentality should we use to face the game?
How to solve the problems in life with gamification thinking? Here, I want to remind you that solving problems by games does not mean that you can get a happy education by studying, but that it stimulates our desire to challenge deep in our thinking and the sense of reward and pleasure brought by overcoming difficulties.

Guns, bacteria and steel drills
I read this book a few years ago, and it was very shocking after reading it, because it made me like sociology.
They started from the little things in life and gradually expanded to the whole human civilization through thinking. What has the greatest influence on Africans? The history of human civilization is the history of fighting germs? Why was the Middle Ages so dark and ignorant?
Every time you look at history, there is an orthodox narrative way. This book examines the course of human history from many unexpected angles.
Besides, this book is very readable. I watch a little before going to bed every day. I was particularly afraid to watch it at that time. It is very difficult to underestimate greatness. Some of the ideas in it are not detailed enough. Everyone should look at it objectively and leave room for doubt.

Beyond IQ, Keith E. Yasinu Vichy
The ultimate goal of learning is learning itself, and reading is a way of life.
If you pursue this, then your life is very advanced.
