Recently, I saw that our company recruited many fresh graduates. As an old social animal, I am quite anxious-my thinking is not as active as that of a child, and my physical strength is not as good as that of a young person.
Social pressure accelerates our anxiety and pursuit of peak speed all the time. It seems that after the age of 30, people who have not achieved great things can only wait to be buried. But after a long time, we can always find that this anxiety is just a scam. No matter how short a life is, no matter how hard the road to the top is, it is actually a long stream of water that needs careful calculation.
In this issue, I have selected 20 books from the aspects of economy, thought and life, hoping that these books can make you surpass yourself and others quickly.

Thought is always the best tool. This is probably the reason why the trilogy "A Brief History of Mankind" has been so popular.
If you haven't read yuval's works, you have no idea what kind of brain circuit he uses to interpret the world; If you read yuval's works, you will thank him for his life.
Not to mention yuval harari's views on the future world and his thoughts, it is this way of thinking, breaking, reshaping, new interpretation, and this one-stop ideological service that can tear down and cover up your thoughts.
Poor Charlie's collection

In financial management, making money is very important, but many experienced people tell us that not losing money is the first step to success.
In this matter, Charles Munger is very experienced, because he has a very abnormal hobby-looking for other people's mistakes, sorting them out, and then remembering the mistakes that others will make. You can compare the pits you want to jump into in the future. The pit that Jobs jumped over, the pit that Nokia jumped over ... In this way, Charles Munger cultivated into a micro-step, which made Buffett stand out in the rapidly changing financial market.
Not sticking to one pattern: Netflix's freedom and responsibility work method

How great is Netflix? The market value exceeds 200 billion US dollars, and the business map covers nearly 200 countries and regions. The House of Cards, Queen's Chess, Love, Death and Robot you have painted are all online flying.
As the founder and CEO, Wilmot Reed Hastings Jr. led Netflix to achieve a successful transformation and strong growth, and admitted that this benefited from a set of counter-intuitive management principles: in Netflix, you don't need to please your boss, just give frank feedback; You can decide the travel standard without layer-by-layer approval; You don't need to work overtime to prove yourself, but you can get rich rewards by fully demonstrating your talents.
How are these eclectic working methods realized? Hastings and Eileen Meyer, a professor at the European Business School, creatively used internal and external perspectives to reveal the cultural core that talents are more important than process, innovation is more important than efficiency, and freedom is more important than control, so that readers can get high-value thinking inspiration from Netflix's practical experience.

Ridario, a successful entrepreneur.
Then why did he succeed? In fact, it is also very simple, that is, everything must follow its own principles, about 500 or so.
Based on these principles, people finally managed assets of $654.38+05 billion. If we study hard, we may get a salary increase of $654.38 +0500. Forget it. Let's just pray we don't get fired.

Author Su Shimin, a tycoon with an annual salary of 700-800 million US dollars, is the founder of Blackstone Group, and has the titles of "the new king of Wall Street", "Buffett in private equity" and "American landlord". His company manages more than $550 billion in assets.
It is such a person who wrote all his experiences in this book from scratch. Many successful people like to write books to satisfy their vanity, and as a result, they are frequently hit in the face. But Su Shimin's book is different. He wrote sincerely and spent two years polishing his entrepreneurial experience in the past few decades.
In this book, all the secrets behind a person's success are hidden.
Thinking, fast and slow
Author: Daniel Kahneman
Zhongxin publishing group
July 20 12
Sometimes, we feel that we are thinking, such as the Millennium-old question of "what to eat for lunch".
But real thinking should not be like this. Thinking requires skill and training. This book shares with us two basic ways of thinking-fast thinking and slow thinking. These two ways of thinking determine our behavior, but they are also very casual. One often has lazy cancer attacks and the other makes decisions at will.
This book provides a way to train them.
The power of habit
Charles Duhige
Zhongxin publishing group
March 20 12
"Habits develop character, and character determines fate."
If procrastination becomes your habit, what will happen to you? In the short term, it is nothing more than failing to finish KPI and staying up late until baldness. A treasure has ordered more than 200 takeaways at the end of the year ... In the long run, it is just a mediocre life.
This book finds that 40% of our daily behaviors are not our own decisions, but out of habitual behaviors (such as ordering the same takeaway for several months in a row). This book has many tips on how to form good habits, depending on whether you can apply what you have learned.
My view of the world
Albert. By Einstein
Zhongxin publishing group
June 5438, 2008+10 month
Einstein, a man who changed the world by imagination.
Einstein was a primary school principal when he was young, but his temper prevented him from finding a job after graduation. I finally got a job as a civil servant through the back door, but I didn't do my job well. I sit in my office every day and pretend to go to work seriously. In fact, I am thinking about "the relationship between the universe and me" ... and I accidentally came up with something that changed the world.
This book is Einstein's concern about the earth except physics, and it covers a relatively small scope, only discussing politics, economy, culture, education, friendship, Jews, Nazi Germany and so on.

Everyone says that this is an era of lifelong learning. Some people have precipitated their temperament, while others can only precipitate their temperament here ... It is not the big difference between people, but the difference in learning and thinking that makes different lives.
We have been taught to study hard since childhood, but no one has ever taught us how to study, so there are a large number of scum who study hard like me. Whether it's rote learning at school or two-day crash course at work, it's a huge waste of life and money.
This book clarifies all kinds of misunderstandings and principles about learning, and provides simple, effective and operable learning methods, which are worth a try.
Self-discipline gives you freedom.
By York Willingke.
Citic publishing house
65438+February 2020
This book is different from other inspirational books. Although there is suspicion of pouring chicken soup, it is bloodier than ordinary chicken soup literature.
In this book, the author York Weilingke describes his life: the mind and body are always restrained. As mentioned above, there are too many books on how to overcome obstacles and achieve goals, but these suggestions often ignore the most critical factor-self-discipline.
So in this book, you will learn the strategy of observing discipline, the tactics of overcoming procrastination, and the persistence of self-discipline.
gaslighting
Robin stern
Citic publishing house
June 2020
Always struggling, difficult to make a decision, often self-denying, is this your problem? If so, you may have been brainwashed.
Dr. Robin Stern, an American psychologist, wrote this abnormal relationship into The Gas Lamp Effect, which widely exists in marriage, workplace and family. This relationship is created by both parties, one of whom plays the role of doing everything right, while the other's life is defined by the controller and gradually loses self-awareness.
Operating the gas lamp is a gradual process. Maybe at first, you won't notice anything wrong with it, but once you accept a small start, you will step into the quagmire of manipulating gas lamps.
Jump out of your thinking trap.

Many people will set goals for themselves, for example, I want to lose 20 pounds a month, or I want to earn 654.38+0 million before I am 35 (I want to). Although these goals seem precise and attractive, they can't be achieved without effective methods.
Because once a person has a clear goal, it is easy to gain a foothold. In fact, this is also a thinking trap. Many things you think are not what you think. If you can often reflect on yourself, "I may be completely wrong", it will be convenient to adjust your point of view in time.
Rational decision
Kelly Lambert

202 1 March
The author of this book, Professor Kelly Lambert, a well-known professor of neuroscience at the University of Richmond in the United States, has been studying for decades and gives you a suggestion from the perspective of neuroscience: based on reality and down-to-earth life.
It sounds like chicken soup at first glance, but it is really the conclusion of scientific experiments.
Because when the information system of the brain is destroyed by poverty, mental illness, etc. , it will produce "brain bubbles", which will make people more vulnerable, affect our emotions, and lead to the inability to make correct judgments and decisions. If we want to remain rational and make correct decisions continuously, we need to be vigilant to prevent the emergence of brain bubbles.
History of European penguins

2065438+May 2009
If you fully understand your own history, most people really have only a half-knowledge of European history. The European history of penguins gives us a complete route.
The process of writing this set of books is quite difficult, because the famous schools are invited, and they are notoriously serious and responsible (so there are still two books to be written). Fortunately, the published book really deserves the title of author.
With this set of books, the four thousand years of Europe are just around the corner. As long as you bite the bullet and finish reading a set of books of this type, your life will change dramatically.
But if you want to read this book, don't ask when the next one will come out.
win
Jack Welch
Zhongxin publishing group
June 20 17
A bestseller that has stood the test of many years will surely solve people's common problems. Some people read it when they were in college, and it is still the workplace bible of many people.
No matter what stage of your career, you will find a chapter that suits you. For example, I just turned to the section "companies should fire unsuitable employees as soon as possible" ... well, I will reflect on myself for two minutes.
How great is Jack Welch's business biography? It still affects the management mode of many companies, including the leaders of some giant enterprises on the Internet, and is also deeply influenced by this book. You can see congenial management temperament in many dads.
flexibility

April 2020
This year, many people have had a rough time, with three days of setbacks and five days of critical attacks, and their inner fragility is more than ever before.
There is another bug in the human brain, that is, you can't remember good news, but you can remember bad news. Compared with 10 good thing and 1 bad thing, which bad thing are you more attracted to? It feels like we humans are born masochists.
This book is very warm. It teaches you how to improve your frustration tolerance and how to find your inner energy little by little without being overwhelmed by today's bad news.
A large self-help guide is well worth reading.

Step forward, step forward again, and you will find that you can change your world.
Sandberg, the chief operating officer of Facebook, mistakenly thought that her life should be to take an examination of civil servants and have children, but such a life was too unsatisfactory, so she stepped forward, risked baldness, bid farewell to the marriage she didn't love, entered an Internet company, and then became the highest paid female executive in the United States.
The value of this book lies in the author's thinking about the world. It is this kind of thinking that makes it surpass ordinary bestsellers and become a classic.
capital
Marx
Shanghai Triple bookstore
April 2009
An economics book that needs to be read on your knees. If you understand this book, you will feel that the world has never been so clear. It clearly explains what is going on in Qian Shengqian, how the workers are exploited and why the boss always makes you work overtime. It's enlightening.
However, many people think that such a classic is obscure. In order to save their brains, they went to read a bad book that even the author didn't know what he was writing. As a result, the more they look at themselves, the more chaotic they are. In order to avoid temporary difficulties (in fact, I am too lazy to think), I create more troubles for myself and spin in a closed loop, which is not worth the candle.
Therefore, the best way is to read Marx's book, start with it, and read it again if you don't understand it until you understand it thoroughly. Once you pass this hurdle, you will understand the underlying logic of capital, and your thoughts will never return to the original narrow field. In short, don't miss it and avoid lifelong regret.
The wisdom of life
Schopenhauer

2065438+March 2009
Wisdom of Life has been recommended many times. Why don't we have wisdom? I guess some people don't want to read it because the book is too classic and rebellious. Some people just look at it after buying it, but they can't get the true meaning of Uncle Hua's philosophy.
Anyone who wants to make money, be happy and be loved, and be anxious to die when life is not satisfactory, please consciously go to Uncle Hua, read him, read him and read him again, and your life will be completely changed from today.
