Entropy represents a degree of disorder, and an increase in entropy means the accumulation of disorder. Our life process is a continuous process of fighting entropy increase. In order to protect ourselves from erosion, in order to survive and reproduce, we constantly absorb energy, maintain the body's metabolism, and continue to differentiate, which is entropy reduction. Only by decreasing entropy can we move from disorder to order.
In the book "The Law of Entropy Increase", we have discovered a profound truth: in an isolated system, if there is no external force to do the work, the whole system will gradually degenerate into a lifeless and lifeless mass of matter. It may seem unrelated to our personal lives, but in fact it is closely linked. Just like isolated systems, if we are closed off in our own little world and out of contact with the outside world, we will eventually fall into disorder and degradation.
So, how should we combat this "entropy increase"?
Life is to live on negative entropy, and we need to continue to do work to combat the increase in entropy. As Schrödinger said, "Man lives against entropy."
In order to help us strategically fight against the law of entropy increase, "The Law of Entropy Increase" provides us with strategies to solve problems through six parts: cognitive negative entropy, emotional negative entropy, wealth negative entropy, physical negative entropy, communication negative entropy, and action negative entropy. Choice thinking, strategic thinking, North Star thinking, probabilistic thinking, and retrospective thinking models will help us move forward with more purpose.
As a simple example, just like a small steel ball spinning in free fall in an empty bowl, we also need to find our own "gravitational direction". Dismantling the big goals, landing actions, time, energy, and attention allocation strategies, as well as reflection and adjustment after each action, will help us move forward with more purpose.
In this spring planting season, let's pick up the Law of Entropy and let the wisdom and strategy guide us to fight against disorder and create our own order and beauty. I believe that this book full of dry goods will surprise you and make you full of harvest this February.
Let's walk into the "Law of Entropy Increase" together, fight against entropy increase, and create our own order and beauty!
