How to read selectively and why to read selectively

Not every book and everything in every book is necessary to read. Selective reading is a method of selecting books according to the "reading goal or purpose", and selecting some of the contents of the books to read.

1. Give up reading in order from beginning to end, find out which part you are interested in and want to read with the help of the book catalog, and read directly from there. There are also many benefits to reading books in this way, such as quickly getting what you want to know, improving the satisfaction of reading, and avoiding disgust at the beginning of reading.

2. Before reading, learn to ask a few questions according to your goals and needs (to understand xx knowledge and solve xx problems), and then use books as the carrier to solve questions as the goal of reading. Asking questions in this way is so that you have a clear reading goal, be selective when reading, know what to pay attention to, and be more attentive and engaged. After reading it, go back to the questions you asked earlier and check if your goals have been achieved.

3. Change the habit of reading word by word and learn to read with fast reading. Speed reading is actually a method of reading purposefully and selectively based on the material, needs, time, energy, and internal and external circumstances. I usually read at a speed of two or three thousand words a minute, find what interests me, what is important to me, and what I don't understand, and then slow down a little bit to read, and then read the essence of the second reading.

The ability to read quickly, on the one hand, requires continuous reading and accumulation, that is, reading more, which can improve your literacy foundation (vocabulary, knowledge background, reading skills, etc.), thereby improving your reading speed. In addition, it can also be improved by special training. For example, the "Elite Special Speed Reading Training" uses software to train and master the skills of fast reading, and it is generally very easy to master one or two thousand words per minute.

4. Enhance the reading effect by using reading cards or reading notes. After reading a book, write down what you have learned from reading and a specific plan for what you want to do next, and follow it carefully, so that you can apply the knowledge in the book to your life. At the same time, set goals for yourself, such as a plan for three months, and look back after three months to see if you achieved it (tracking, recording your readings, actions).

If you want to do more details, you can organize the books in the form of a knowledge framework or mind map, mainly to refine the important content of the book, but also include some understanding and perception in the process of reading (if there are relevant new knowledge points and new experiences in the later learning or reading, you can also add them to establish a knowledge connection that is convenient for mastering and application). For the content that you feel very emotionally after reading it, you can try to write about your reading impressions.

1. What kind of reading materials to choose is often different from person to person.

2. Some of the reading materials are not as ideological and nutritious as the rock limbs, and we can choose the best books to read.

3. You can choose the right reading materials according to your own interests and hobbies, and a person's interests and hobbies can also be cultivated through reading.

4. The wider a person's interests, the more books he reads, the broader his horizons will be, and he will be able to enhance his talents.

5. Society is constantly progressing, science and technology are developing rapidly, we should continue to expand our knowledge by selectively reading books to adapt to this ever-changing society.

6. You can choose some excellent literary works, celebrity biographies, popular science books and reference books to read. Such books are of great significance to the accumulation of knowledge and the development of ideas.

Reading books has many purposes, including improving the level of knowledge, broadening horizons, cultivating thinking skills, enhancing personal cultivation, and so on. One of the purposes is utilitarian purposes, that is, reading books for practical purposes. The actual purpose of this may be to gain more confident career opportunities through learning, to earn more money through poverty, to improve social status, and so on.

To a certain extent, it is necessary to read books with utilitarian purposes. In modern society, education and career levels are closely linked, and knowledge and skills are essential for career advancement. In this case, it is very necessary to gain more knowledge and skills through reading books in order to improve one's professional level and competitiveness.

However, reading should not be for a utilitarian purpose only. Reading is a cultural activity that can help us better understand and appreciate the best of human civilization. It can cultivate our humanistic qualities and improve our quality of life.

In addition, reading can also help us broaden our horizons, understand different cultures and ideas, and promote mutual understanding and communication between human beings.
