Q & A

视频中提到的“读100本书每年”的标题,主要反映了什么问题?

这类标题反映了人们将读书数量和速度当成目标的问题,而忽视了读书的本质——思考过程。

视频否定了将读书的数量和速度作为目标,这是为什么?

因为数量和速度并不是读书的本质。读书的本质是思考,思考的速度决定读书的速度,而不是相反。把数量和速度作为目标,是一种本末倒置。

听有声书确实能提高读书速度吗?为什么?

不能。因为有声书为了流畅地听下去,必须限制或绕过思考,这与读书的本质相违背。

所谓的速读技巧有什么问题?为什么不推荐使用?

这些技巧都是在实现眼睛和耳朵的机械化扫描,迫使跳过思考,与读书的本质相违背,因此不推荐使用。

书籍摘要、人工智能摘要等方式可以取代阅读原书吗?为什么?

不能。因为这些方式只是他人思考的结果,听众并没有经历这一思考过程。想要获得知识和智慧,需要自己的思考和体验。

追求阅读时间是一种好的目标吗?为什么?

是的。增加阅读时间可以最大限度地保证学习和思考。但追求时间也可能走偏,最终的目标应该是改变自我。

视频中提到的“你得到你所测量的”意味着什么?

意思是如果我们的标准错误,结果也会错误。如果我们以时间作为标准,也可能走偏。所以追求时间只是一种手段,改变自我才是最终目标。

视频中提到读书就像训练AI模型,这种比喻意味着什么?

意思是通过读书的最终结果来调整自己的读书方法、速度甚至选择的书,就像AI模型通过结果来调整训练一样。

视频中为什么提到读书是成功的“捷径”?

因为读书能加速获得启发和思考,从而更快地改变自我,最终达成成功。但读书本身就没有捷径,需要投入时间和精力。

视频中那个读书俱乐部的理念是什么?为什么推荐人们加入?

该俱乐部的理念是团体的力量来推动彼此阅读,通过分享来深化思考,最终实现改变自我。所以如果认同这一理念,视频中推荐观众加入。

😊追求数量与速度并非阅读本质

作者认为,追求阅读数量和速度并不能提高思考能力,反而会错过思考的本质。阅读的核心在于思考,思考速度决定阅读速度,而不是反过来。作者通过举例说明,为何听书不能提高阅读速度,速读技巧也同样欠缺思考。

05:00

😐为何提要与AI摘要皆不可取代阅读

作者认为,各类提要与AI生成的摘要都无法替代阅读本身。因为思考与获取知识需要经历过程,他人提要无法使读者获得思考锻炼。即便AI摘要准确,也无法突出读者所关注的重点。

10:00

😃阅读本质在于改变,这需要时间

作者认为,阅读的终极目标是改变自己。这需要花时间思考、交流、分享,才能不断调整方法,选择合适的书籍,最终达成升华。作者因此反对速读,主张学会集中精力,选择能上瘾的好书,从阅读中获得快乐。

Keywords

💡阅读本质

视频中多次提到阅读的本质实际上是思考的过程。阅读速度取决于思考速度,而不是反过来。如果仅仅追求数量和速度,就会错过思考,从而错过阅读的本质。

💡工具主义

视频批评仅将阅读视为获取信息的工具,而不做思考体会。视频认为世界上不缺信息,真正重要的是知识和智慧,这些都需要自己的思考和体验。

💡变化

视频认为阅读的终极目标是实现变化,这种变化可以是心智上的,也可以是行动上的。如果最终没有获得思考和变化,需要调整阅读方法。

💡贪图速度

视频反对贪图阅读数量和速度,认为这是本末倒置,应该以能保证思考和学习的节奏为主。数量和速度是结果,不是应该追求的目标。

💡浅阅读

视频批评听书、文摘等浅层次的阅读方式,认为这些都绕过了思考,得不到真知。但是它们可以作为工具使用,不能取代深度阅读。

💡时间

视频强调ALCHEMY阅读时间的重要性,认为提高阅读速度的唯一方法是增加阅读时间,在反复阅读中培养思考能力,从而提高速度。

💡注意力

视频承认现代人普遍注意力无法集中,难以沉下心读书,需要通过选择好书籍,锻炼神经获取多巴胺的方式培养专注力。

💡交流

视频提出可以通过讨论交流、心得分享的方式加深思考,实现变化。视频认为一个好的读书社群应该强调这样的交流,而不仅仅停留在内容摘要。

💡质量标准

视频引用“你得到你所测量的”这个概念,指出如果我们用数量和速度作为标准,就得不到阅读的真谛。需要建立在体会和变化之上的质量标准。

💡自我实现

阅读的目的不仅在获取信息,而在于通过理解、体会和思考,最终实现自我提升与升华。这是真正意义上的“读书改变命运”。

Highlights

数量和速度本质上不是阅读的核心,而是阅读的结果,不是你应该追求的目标。

阅读的本质实际上是一个思考的过程,你思考的速度决定了你阅读的速度,而不是阅读速度决定思考速度。

将数量和速度作为目标是一种本末倒置的做法。

当你的标准是错误的时候,你的结果也可能是错误的。

那些所谓的能帮助你提高阅读速度的工具和方法,实际上都是在加速这种机械式扫描的过程。

有声书绝对不能帮助我提高阅读速度,因为我仍然需要暂停、反复思考甚至记笔记。

所谓的速读技巧实际上是在跳过思考这个步骤。我不建议你使用任何这样的方法。

你的思考速度决定了你的阅读速度,反之亦然。加速你的眼睛和耳朵的扫描过程,不能强制加快思考,唯一强制的就是省略思考。

知识和智慧的获取需要你的思考和体验。你需要成为那个总结的人,而不是被总结的消费者。

真正提高思考速度的唯一方法就是:花时间慢慢阅读,并增加阅读时间。

阅读其实就是一个捷径,但是阅读本身却没有捷径——你无法省时间。

追求阅读时间绝不是目标,真正的目标是改变。这种改变可以是心智上的,也可以是行动上的。

当你感觉每本读完的书都仿佛让你成为一个不同的人时,你才真正达到了阅读的目标。

阅读没有捷径,你无法省时间。加入读书会,通过社区的力量促进互相之间的阅读、深化思考、最终达成改变。

Transcripts

OK, today we are going to the library(AI Generated En subtitles. There will be mistakes)

You must have seen such a title online:

"How I read 100 books in a year"

These contents may inspire you

But I believe that what most people feel is anxiety or inferiority

Because their reading speed is very slow

It seems like I can never become the kind of person who reads 100 books in a year

But as a content creator who reads a lot

I want to say you really don't need to read 100 books in a year

You shouldn't even consider quantity as your goal

You should not be anxious about your reading speed

Because quantity and speed are not the essence of reading

They are the result of reading

Not the goal you should pursue

In today's video, I want to talk about the essence of reading

What's wrong with setting quantity and speed as goals?

And the problems with audio books that claim to help you improve your speed

Why Speed Reading Techniques do not work

Why you should not use them at all?

Finally, I would like to share what our true goal should be in reading

People's pursuit of the quantity of reading is essentially based on a common belief

like many other things

"The more you read, the better. The faster, the better"

But ironically, when it comes to reading, once you treat quantity and speed as goals

You may instead end up on the wrong path

Because they are not the essence of reading

I have been reading the book "The Creative Act" recently

The author has a passage that vividly describes the essence of reading

I may come across a piece of writing that inspires me to think

At this moment, although my eyes continue to read down the page

But I no longer absorb new information

Because my thinking may still be immersed in the previous idea

When I realized this matter

I will return to the previous paragraph

Start reading from there again

Sometimes this is already the text from three or four pages ago

Actually, not only getting inspiration from books will make us pause and read repeatedly

Sometimes there are sentences that we really can't understand

So we need to repeatedly read the previous article

Sometimes the books we read may be in other languages

This will also affect our speed

Sometimes we read some content and find that previous chapters have mentioned it

So we might go back to read the previous content

Sometimes we read a sentence and it is just so enlightening

We have to stop and take notes

Even go to share and discuss with others

So did you see it?

The essence of reading is actually a process of thinking

The speed at which you think determines the speed at which you read

The speed of reading, rather than the other way around, determines the speed of thinking

Treating quantity and speed as goals is a kind of putting the cart before the horse

I just read this book a couple of days ago

There is a sentence inside it that deeply touched me

It says

You get what you measure

You will get what you measure

Then it told a joke inside

Just a group of fishermen going to get their fishing nets to catch fish

Then they measure the size of the smallest fish they caught

The size of being the smallest fish in the sea

This conclusion is obviously wrong

Because it is the size of your grid

The size determines how many fish you can catch

But this does not mean that the smallest fish in the sea is very big

So when your standards are wrong

Your result may also be wrong

When we prioritize the quantity and speed of reading as our goals

We are just counting and chasing time

At this point, you can imagine reading as

It is the operation of a scanner

If you analyze those on the market

The so-called tools and methods that can help you improve reading speed

You will find that they are achieving acceleration of this mechanical scanning

But ironically, it is the principle they have achieved

All are to help you save thinking

Just avoided the essence of reading

Let's take an audiobook as an example

My audience knows that I particularly like audiobooks

I use all my free time to listen to it

But audiobooks definitely cannot help me improve my reading speed

Why?

You, for example, say that I have been listening to this book recently, "The Creative Act."

I find it difficult to continue listening smoothly

Because this author's every sentence is filled with a lot of wisdom

I find that I often have to pause

Then take some time to think

Sometimes I even need to listen to it repeatedly

Operating this on an audiobook is actually quite a hassle

You don't even have to mention that you want to do something like taking notes

That means when listening to audiobooks

You want to listen smoothly

You must restrict or bypass your thinking

Yes, I am able to finish listening to this book in one day

But reading without thinking is like sleepwalking

Then all I have is the illusion of speed

Does this mean that audiobooks are meaningless?

Of course, that's not it

Audiobooks are a very good supplement

For example, I often listen to it again after finishing reading a book

That can help me deepen the impression

Sometimes I will go and listen to audiobooks

I think this book is good

I will definitely go and read it again

Sometimes I will also listen and read at the same time

This can help me to focus

But absolutely do not help me improve my reading speed

Because I still have to pause, reflect repeatedly, and even take notes

So audiobooks are really great

But it can only serve as an assistant

Absolutely cannot replace you to read

And those so-called speed reading techniques actually make you skip thinking

For example, it will require you to read at a glance

Avoid making sounds in your mind

Let your finger trace this text as you read it downwards

Avoid reading repeatedly

This is even more treating reading as the work of a scanner

I do not recommend you to use any such methods

According to the same logic

Summarize those so-called dry goods, AI summaries

Or those videos of people summarizing books can be seen as a method to improve reading speed

Even use them as a substitute for reading

This is all self-deception

Yes, this also includes the book sharing videos I have made

This is because these so-called dry goods summaries

It is the result of the thinkers' summaries

However, the audience did not go through this thought process

That netizen's metaphor is particularly vivid

He said that thinking is like exercising muscles

Reading someone else's summary is like watching someone else exercise their muscles

This has nothing to do with myself

Some people might say

Why do we have to think when reading?

Can't I just get some information?

OK, you don't even need to go to school

You can solve problems by relying on search engines and AI

But you must be clear

The world is not lacking in information

But what is truly useful is often knowledge and wisdom

But the acquisition of these two things requires your thinking and experience

This is why some people

The reason for not being able to live a good life despite hearing many profound truths

You need to become the person who does the summary

And not the summarized consumer

Does this mean that all the summaries are meaningless again?

Of course not

Summary: It can be used as a screening and recommendation tool

But the premise is that you need to find summarizers who have similar interests as you

This is because all of us have preferences in our conclusions

We all base our interests on our own points

Summarize what you consider important

If your interests are not similar

You may miss out on the important content for you

Someone might say that I can use AI to summarize

Because it is fair, objective, and accurate

First of all, you said that AI is objective, but it is not objective

Whenever you ask ChatGPT sensitive questions

You just know why

Secondly, even if the summary of this AI is accurate

Its problem instead lies in its lack of preference

Because it doesn't know what you are interested in

It cannot summarize those that inspire you

Something that can stimulate your thinking

The summary of AI is even less valuable compared to humans

Moreover, it is not so accurate in summarizing now

If you have ever read something

Looking back at the conclusions made by AI

You will find it full of errors

Missed a lot of important things

So no matter what form of this summary

It can only serve as a reference

Absolutely cannot replace you reading

I believe you have understood by now

The speed of your thinking determines the speed of your reading

And vice versa, to accelerate the scanning process of your eyes and ears

Cannot force faster thinking

The only thing you force is the omission of thinking

To fundamentally improve your thinking speed while reading

I think there is only one way

That is

Prenez votre temps et augmentez votre temps de lecture

Take your time

It means to read at a pace that suits oneself

Do not deliberately force to increase speed

This can maximize the guarantee of your thinking and learning while reading

And

Take your time allows you to use those

The real way to improve your thinking through reading methods

You, for example, read notes and discuss with others

Even sharing and exporting

And increase your reading time

Just increase your reading time

Only in this way

Your thinking can only be exercised through this muscle

Your reading speed and quantity will naturally improve in the end

OK, I know that some people will also say

What I lack is precisely time

If you believe that reading and thinking are important

So, the lack of time for reading is a problem that you need to solve

Instead of making excuses for not reading

There is always a solution to every problem

But excuses are always endless

Someone said I can find time to read

But I lack focus

I can't control myself from looking at my phone

Actually, this is a common problem in modern society

In fact, only a few people can see the video here

Most people will turn off this video within the first 30 seconds

Of course, you can say that my video is poorly made

But if the standard for good content is

Allowing you to reach climax within the first 30 seconds

So most articles, long videos, movies, and books are not passing

Short videos and refreshing articles are activities that provide instant satisfaction

It only requires a very short attention from you

But reading is a behavior that requires you to spend time and effort in order to obtain dopamine

To become addicted to reading requires concentration

On the one hand, apart from spending time on slow-paced exercises

In addition to acquiring the ability of dopamine

On the other hand, choose books that can make you addicted to reading

Also very important

I specifically made a video like this a few years ago

Strongly recommend you to take a look

You will have many gains

OK, although we emphasize the pursuit of reading time

But never forget one thing

That is, you will get what you measure

When we use time as a standard

We might also go fishing

Go far away and slow down to think

So pursuing reading time is a very good method

But it is definitely not the goal

What is the true goal of our reading?

If reading is said to be the essence of thinking,

So change should be its ultimate goal

In reading and contemplating, you may gain inspiration and empathy

Generate new problems

Attain enlightenment and integrate comprehensively

And what ultimately makes all of this meaningful is change

This change can be a mental one

It can also be in terms of action

If you say that kind of reading method that pursues speed and quantity

It has regarded reading as an act

The working of a scanner

So we go after the ultimate result of change

It is likening reading to the training of AI models

Because in the current AI language (neural network) model training

There is a characteristic

That is, they are through the final result

Adjust its weight and training methods in reverse

That's the same when it comes to studying

If you ultimately did not achieve this change

No thinking obtained

So you need to adjust your reading method

Your reading speed

Even you need to go and exchange a book

This is faster than pursuing how much you have read

Even how much time was spent is more meaningful

When you can comprehend every book you finish reading

When it feels like becoming a different person

So you have truly achieved the goal of reading

Mastered the correct method

Read the right book

This is what is called "reading changes destiny."

That's why we say that reading is actually a shortcut to success

But there is no shortcut to reading itself

You have no way to save time

Why am I at my own book club?

Strongly oppose that kind of dry goods summary

Others take you to study

My members need to study hard

To spend time

Our philosophy is to harness the power of community

To promote reading among everyone

Deepen your thinking through sharing

Finally achieve your change

If you also agree with this concept

Welcome to join our book club

Okay, see you in the next video

Bye bye
