A friend asked me to help me find a few books, especially for people who grow quickly. Because she feels that her husband has not grown up, especially because his mental age is too young and looks a little naïve, she plans to find some books for him to read and become more mature.
Didn't I say that the younger the mentality, the better?Besides, I don't dare to pack a ticket, he must be able to read it, and whether he really grows up after reading it depends on what he reads.
For the sake of face, I still seriously helped her find three, all of which I think can make a person grow up overnight, and the Douban score is 86 points or more.
The author of this book is Victor Frankl, who was a prisoner in Auschwitz with the number 119104 pending execution, and his parents, wife, and brother all died in the gas chambers, and only he and his sister survived. Later, he combined his experience with psychology to write a book that has influenced thousands of people.
While reading this book, I wondered what the meaning of living is, whether it is to live for the sake of life itself, like Yu Hua's "Alive". In fact, in Frankl's view, being alive is just a static, negative state, to put it bluntly, as long as you don't dieOnly by finding the meaning of life can we live dynamically.
Do you understand what this means?When you eat and wait for death every day, it is a kind of static life, as long as you don't die of hunger. But when you live out the meaning of life, you will live an irregular life at different times, you can do different jobs, care for others, and contribute something to this society.
Like Frankl, he survived the concentration camps, but instead of being lucky enough to live, he waited for death, but had great enthusiasm for his life.
He learned to fly an airplane at the age of 67 and climbed the Alps at the age of 80, living in this way until he was 92 years old. After reading this book, is it time for you to find the meaning of your life?
This ** has more than 60,000 reviews on Douban, with a score of 93 points. It tells the story of a lawyer named Atticus who defends a young black man who has been framed as a criminal, and no one including his daughter understands it.
Despite this, Atticus defends himself and tells the children what it means to be brave and how to keep their moral bottom line in this ugly world.
Whether you are a father or not, or you are about to become a father, you should read this **, it is not an exaggeration to say that it is a father's cultivation manual.
Because in this world, there is another thing that cannot be followed by the crowd and followed the crowd, and that is the self. Even if everyone is standing opposite you, hold on to yourself, just like Atticus in **. If you don't have this kind of thing, you canNo matter how old you are, you don't really grow up, you're just someone else's little follower.
There's another thing called bravery, and there's a saying in the book that says it well, and if you understand it, you'll grow up overnight: "Courage is knowing that you're doomed to lose before you even start, but you still do it without hesitation, and stick to it no matter what happens." One person rarely wins, but there will always be times when he wins. ”
You must be familiar with Maugham's **, because you can see people recommending it everywhere. The plot is not complicated, it is about an agent named Charles Strickland, who abandons his wife and children like a demon, and goes to a foreign country to find his painting dream.
When I first read it, I thought it was not a big deal to pay a certain price for my dreams, **Aren't they all written like this?But then I thought about it, it was not so easy to really leave the familiar environment, give up the privileged life and happy family, and find an unknown future.
Don't look at the people around you who have many dreams, how many people really pay for their dreams?Including myself, every day before going to bed, I am so excited that I can't sleep, and the next day I wake up again
Reading this book makes you understand that your dedication to your dreams is not worth mentioning in front of the protagonist at all. You don't need to quit writing and drawing after reading this book, as some people do, but ask yourself, "Did I really try?"”No matter what the answer is, just answer it seriously and you will grow up.
These three books are not simply preaching, nor are they the kind of inspirational books that make people grow, they all let you understand through stories that growth is not about understanding a few truths and drinking a few sips of chicken soup, but also about having a reasonable impact on thinking and concepts, so that people can grow up overnight. I think these three books are qualified.
