5. "McKinsey method" trilogy series
If you are not a creative talent, but just want to analyze and solve problems in an orderly way, I recommend you to look at the McKinsey method trilogy series, and the other two are McKinsey consciousness and McKinsey tools.
If you don't want to be a consultant, it won't prevent you from learning the thinking method of McKinsey consultants.
The most classic motto of their thinking method is "hypothesis-oriented, fact-based, and logical connection".
In McKinsey's method, MECE principle is particularly emphasized, that is, how to effectively classify things, so that you can better manage your facts and find the structural connection between things.
Some people may ask, what is the difference between Bono and McKinsey consultants?
My understanding is that McKinsey's consultants emphasize on combing the facts in detail, and their methodology is based on fully understanding and digesting the facts and drawing executable conclusions. Then, for the accumulated business field, in the situation of gradual improvement, McKinsey method can get relatively scientific and rigorous results.
But if a field is completely innovative and there is no precedent for reference or basis, Bono will stand up and say that what you need is "insight".
Books about changing thinking patterns
1. Historical research
British historian Arnold? Joseph? Toynbee's masterpiece. He summed up 26 forms of civilization in human history. The growth of civilization is like climbing a mountain. Some people got off to a good start and climbed fast, but accidentally fell off the cliff. Some of them had a difficult start, but they succeeded in climbing to the top in the wind, frost, rain and snow. Today's Europe, rich in materials and carefree in life, has become a refuge for refugees and a distribution center for contradictions, and has gradually lost its vitality and motivation. Comparatively speaking, China is short of resources and under great pressure, and has become the leader of world economic growth from scratch.
2. Discipline and punishment
French thinker Michelle? Foucault's masterpiece. In ancient society, disobedient members were punished by torture. In modern society, relying on authority, knowledge and technology, an all-round and three-dimensional discipline system has been established. Modern schools discipline people's thoughts through collective classes and unified teaching materials; Modern hospitals discipline people's bodies through collective wards and doctor consultations. Looking back on childhood, were you taught to be obedient? Obedient children often lead a depressed life when they grow up, and dare not resist authority and pursue themselves. This is the result of being disciplined.
3. Economic philosophy manuscript of1844.
Born in a lawyer's family, Marx could have followed in his father's footsteps and lived a rich life, but he chose to look up at the stars and care about mankind. He was only 28 years old when he wrote this manuscript, but he showed his talent beyond the sages. Marx believed that people should work freely and voluntarily, but in reality people only work for survival, which is human alienation. Kafka's Metamorphosis expresses a similar view. The protagonist is a salesman and the pillar of the family. Suddenly one day, he found himself a beetle, lost his labor force and was soon abandoned by his family and society. Look at today, some people are as excited as chicken blood when it comes to work. Five plus two, white plus black, working hard for others and sacrificing yourself, is it alienated?
4. Galactic Empire
American writer Isaac? Asimov's classic collection of science fiction reproduces the decline of the Roman Empire, tells the colonial history of western civilization, predicts the development history of modern science and technology, and explores the spiritual history of mankind. No matter Star Wars, Avatar, X-Men and Three-body, they all absorbed his inspiration to some extent. Known as the contemporary Iron Man, Musk built Tesla cars and retractable rockets. He watched 10 hours of science fiction every day since he was a child. He once made remarks to express his vigilance against artificial intelligence. It can be seen that this soldier is a fan of the galactic empire.

The representative work of Kong Feili, a sinologist at Harvard University, tells the story that during the Qianlong period, the Qing Empire was disturbed by the witchcraft of "evoking souls", only to find that it was only an oolong in the end. Since ancient times, people with different purposes have used information asymmetry to constantly create and spread rumors, forming one fantasy scene after another. In the past few days, the story about a star manipulating the media has reached God, and a group of people with official WeChat accounts have madly forwarded the hype. Finally, I found that this is only part of the media hype, for marketing.
6. Melancholy tropics
French anthropologist Claude? Levi Strauss's masterpiece. The author personally visited the Amazon river basin and plateau forest in Brazil, and recorded his experiences in primitive tribes and his thoughts on society and life. This is not an obscure academic paper, but a traveler's diary full of philosophical thoughts. When Li Wei recorded the humanities and natural customs, a golden sentence appeared from time to time: "Writing seems to be a tool to exploit human beings rather than enlighten them. Some small details belonging to the distant past are now like mountains, but the whole past in my own life is endless. " .
7. intellectuals
English Paul? Johnson's works, reprinted in Europe and America, are very popular. Some people say that this book is unique, others say that this book is grandstanding. The author reveals the unknown side of Rousseau, Shelley, Ibsen, Russell and Sartre. Rousseau claimed to be a "friend of mankind", but sent his five children to a nursery. He only loves macro people, not specific people. I thought this book was just a collection of gossip. With the growth of age and experience, I learned about the other side of some celebrities. Only then can I understand that everyone is a human being, and everyone has weaknesses and desires. There is no need to deify and there is nothing wrong with it.

This book was printed 15 times in half a year as soon as it was published in China. "Innovation is not from 1 to n, but from 0 to 1", which subverts the traditional Red Sea competition model. The book mentions an important concept: power law, which explains the mystery of exponential growth of emerging enterprises such as BAT, Xiaomi and JD.COM. Whether it is a traditional enterprise with difficult transformation or a new enterprise with difficult entrepreneurship, it is worth reading.
9. Duke of Lushan Mountain
I don't need to introduce the author and content. I believe some readers know better than me. Jin Yong's novels are full of righteousness, heroes, great feelings and great love, and this book is full of evil spirits, aura and evil spirits. Guo Jing represents ideal and Wei Xiaobao represents reality. Cao Xueqin compiled a dream of red mansions, but said that a person's understanding is an article, knowing everything and everything. When I was a teenager, reading Duke of Lushan was like walking into a wonderful course. Read it again now, and all the characters in the book can find the prototype in reality. No wonder, some people are reluctant to read novels after much experience, because reality is more wonderful and bizarre than novels.
10. Historical experience
Selected works of Nan, a master of Chinese studies. The author is famous for the brief introduction of The Diamond Sutra, The Analects of Confucius and Zhuangzi, but this book is little known. The book interprets Zhao Kun's long and short classics, Liu Xiang's warring States policy and Huan Fan's world essence, and makes China's Machiavellian culture very profound and thorough. There is a view that China has always been a Confucian scholar in China. Zi Zhi Tong Jian is a history of power struggle and conspiracy culture. Now nirvana by fire and the legend of Mi Yue are very popular, and the changes in Turkey are hotly debated, which shows that China people's enthusiasm for politics will not fade with the changes of the times.
