This is an era of "survival of the fittest", an era of social involution. In all walks of life, everyone is paying more and more, living more and more tired, but getting less and less.
Although not everyone is willing to participate in such an "involution", it is not easy to escape - not only to escape from the "persecution" of the external environment, but also to escape from their own internal "habitual thinking".
In the era of involution, how to escape?There's a book that explains this thoroughly. This book was written by James Cass, a professor at New York University"Finite and Infinite Game".。This is a short and energetic book, and everyone who wants to find their own way out should read it in the era of involution.
Author James Cass said:Everyone is born from the first and is nothing more than a mix of two games: finite and infinite. Recognize the finiteness of lifeand you'll always have an infinite selection of games.
Life is a process leading to death", and if you recognize this, you will change your understanding and order of the importance of everything in the world.
People who play limited games want to win, such as a result, a champion, and a job title;Limited game participants are often unaware of the finiteness of life, so their eyes cannot be separated from what is happening in front of them.
People who play infinite games want the game to continue. He knows that "life is a preparation for death", so he does not set boundaries for himself, but explores and changes the boundaries themselves. Participants in the infinite game, born to die.
China is a hot spot for limited games, and people here are keen to participate and create limited games, and the ultimate of limited games is "involution".
If you understand both gamesdifferences, and how they relate to your own circumstances, your life may change completely. The book "The Game of Finite and Infinite" does not provide a specific way to escape from the involution, it talks about the underlying logic of this world, which can help you clarify the way of thinking about the world, and the way out is determined by the way out.
People who play limited games will be anxious about the gains and losses of the current game, will calculate the opponent, will not be able to let go of the past, and will be overwhelmed by the results they want in the future.
And the person who plays the infinite game will be his own genius, will let the past be the past, save himself from resentment, will be the first to release kindness, let others have the ability to do what he wants to do, and let himself create what he is doing with peace of mind.
People who play a limited game, once they get the result, the meaning becomes nothing;People who play infinite games, the game has no end, and the meaning exists in the process of life.
Limited gamers have limited time, and they consume time;Infinite gamers don't consume time, they generate time. The finite gamer work is to reach a desired present, and the infinite gamer work is to move towards a future ...... that has a future in itself
