I'm not a person who likes to read books very much, I haven't read much for more than 20 years, the only books I remember reading are youth literature and romance**, some books have not been bought and I haven't read much, some books have not been opened, and several literary books have only read a little bit, it seems that because I can't understand it, I think it's too boring, and I can't read it.
In 2020, a friend introduced me to Schopenhauer's "The Wisdom of Life", which is a philosophy book, I don't know much about philosophy, and I am not interested in reading books, in fact, I don't want to read it, and I don't want to buy it, but I promised that people will buy it and read it, and finally I placed an order online.
After I got the book, I started reading it after a few days, and I only read dozens of pages, and I couldn't understand it, and I even felt that it was boring, so I didn't read it again, and I was afraid that my friends would come to ask me about the progress of reading the book, because I hadn't read it, haha, fortunately, she didn't ask me after that, and then the book was left idle by me.
There is another reason why I don't like to read, that is, when I read a book, I want to do something else, I either want to do this or that in my mind, I always think about what I didn't do, in short, I just don't want to read, I don't know what I'm doing, because my mind is always thinking about other things, which makes me unable to concentrate, let alone read.
Later, I found out why I thought about other things when I was reading books, but when I was treating acne at a Chinese medicine doctor, I asked the Chinese medicine doctor this question, and he told me that it was because of the lack of qi and blood. Later, under his **, I didn't have this phenomenon when I was reading books, if you also have this situation when you are reading, it may be because of lack of qi and blood.
Although I don't think about anything else when I read a book later, and my attention is more concentrated, I still don't like to read books, and my friend recommended an e-book, and I forced myself to finish it, because I forced myself to finish it, so my experience of reading books is not very good, and I don't think much about it in the process of reading, and I can only remember the general content.
Later, when I read a paper book that a friend gave me a long time ago, I couldn't stand it, and I read it intermittently, and then it was also idle.
After that, because of a job, I need to read books related to this work, and my friend found a book for me to read, probably because it is useful for work, so I still patiently read it, this should be the first book I have finished reading, and there is no rejection of the idea that I don't want to read, it seems that the driving force for me to read books is to be useful to me.
The above reading experiences are all very passive, either recommended by a friend, or because of work needs, not because I actively want to read them.
Why did I suddenly start reading books?
Because I know really little, I don't even pay attention to the outside world at all, so to speak, I shut myself in my own world, immersed in the dreams I have woven for myself, my world is all beautiful, so much so that I feel that many things are beautiful.
It wasn't until I experienced something that I realized that the world was not what I was in my dreams, nor what the teachers at school said, and I deceived myself and didn't want to know what the real world was like, because then I could be happy forever, and reality was always cruel and painful, but I had to face it.
Before I started reading books, I liked to watch TV series clips**, and I watched for about 2 years, which is also what hindered me from reading books, because I always wanted to brush **, so I didn't want to read books, in order to get rid of this bad habit for me, I spent almost 3 months, and the process was still a little painful, because the brain wanted to watch **, and I didn't want to break this habit.
The opportunity to start reading books is that I suddenly feel that I don't want to waste time by watching TV series edits**, and I don't want to indulge in the world of brushing**, brushing** is also reading, reading books is also reading, why don't you choose to read books? So when I started reading, there was no struggle, and there was no reluctance, there was a desire to learn in my heart, and if I had a desire, I would have motivation, instead of forcing myself, and I couldn't last long if I forced myself.
But at this time, the habit of brushing ** has not been completely changed, although I don't reject reading books, but I will still brush some TV series**, although not much, but I think it's not good, and finally directly forced myself to block all the TV series I like to watch on the platform**, although the brain is really reluctant, but my hands are constantly operating the "blocking" option, and then the brain gave up struggling. In order to completely break this habit, I have taken some methods, and I will share how I broke this habit later.
The first book I started to read was to reread the "Wisdom of Life" that I didn't finish reading, this rereading had a different feeling from the first time I read it, I didn't feel very boring, I was able to understand it better than before, and some of my ideas were similar to the ideas conveyed in the book, I felt both happy and sad, happy that my thoughts could resonate with the author, and I was sad why I didn't understand it until now, why I couldn't understand it very early.
Perhaps, many times, there is really an arrangement of fate, with the guidance of fate, and at a certain time, you will naturally understand. As Mr. Yang Jiang said: When I was a child, I thought that not reading was not enough to understand the world, but when I grew up, I realized that I couldn't read books without understanding the world.
But I didn't like to read when I was a child, I didn't know the world, and I didn't understand the world when I grew up, so I couldn't read books, this truth is true, and then I began to slowly try to understand the world, only to find that I began to be able to read some books, I don't know whether to be happy, or to be sad, I always feel that my years have been wasted a lot, I don't know a lot of things about my former self, and I don't want to know, I haven't experienced many things, I don't know whether I was bypassed by myself, or I was arranged to bypass, in short, I don't know the world, I don't want to understand, and I don't have the opportunity to experience it, it seems that life does need to experience to understand some books.
Because I can understand it better than before, I am more willing to read it, hoping to get something useful to me from the book, and I hope that it can solve some of my doubts.
In the process of reading, I not only marked the content of the book, but also marked the places with doubts in the book, and also wrote down my thoughts and thoughts, although not much, but it was indeed thinking in the process of reading, such a reading process also made my attention more concentrated, and I felt good after reading the whole book, without rejection, and after reading, I began to look for books that I had not read before.
When I read and bought a book that I haven't read, I found that I can judge whether I am interested in the book by reading the front of the book, whether I have the desire to read it, if I want to read it, I will continue to finish it, and if I feel that I don't want to read the book, then I will choose to give up.
Some people may have doubts, I don't know how to choose books, I don't know how to choose before I start reading books, my friend has already helped me make a book list, but I read one, and just read a little bit, I don't want to read it, I am grateful that she can take the time to help me make a book list, but, no one helps you make a book list, what should I do?
Although there are also bloggers who recommend books, I feel that I have to take the initiative to try to find books, in fact, there are too many books recommended by friends, and I don't know which book to start with, so after reading the paper version of the books I bought myself, I searched directly on WeChat ReadingHow to read, and then there was "How to Read a Book", I looked at the author, recommended values, wonderful reviews, and scanned the table of contents, I think this book can try to read it, the table of contents seems to be written in more detail, and there are ways to read different readings, I am very interested in the content of this part, because I also feel that each book should have a different way of reading, I want to know, so it aroused my interest in reading.
If you don't know how to choose a book, or don't know how to read a book, you can go and read this book, this book is not exactly a guide to reading, and there are some other opinions of the author, which is very helpful to me, I recommend you to take a look, maybe you can get unexpected ideas from this book.
Okay, the above is a person who has not liked to read for more than 20 years, and now he has started reading, if you want to start reading too, take action now, I still knowThe reason why I didn't like to read books beforeIf you want to know, remember to follow me
