Chatting with a friend, he said he learned a lot from many of my thinking models because I had read a lot of books.
I dispute this view. Let’s call some of the small ideas I have known as mental models. I don’t think these come from books. Books are just a way to obtain information. If reading is compared to fishing, how many fish you can catch depends on the net, which is the information screening system + past practical experience.
I think some of my unique ideas are mainly derived from review.
If there is one thing that I have been practicing, it is really "I examine myself three times a day." Every time I get a small piece of feedback, I always reflect on why I made the decision I did just now, where the strong psychological fear comes from, and am I trying to help others or am I secretly happy for myself? etc
Principles of the information filtering system that you apply to yourself (dynamically updated, welcome to add):
1/Only give the conclusion, not the content of the process logic, which can be blocked
2/ Only conclusions are given, and content that uses non-systematic cases as arguments can be blocked.
3/ Ignore the complex system itself and like to analyze some problems that are too grand to have any application value. You can block them (eg. Is reading meaningful for success/making money/investment?)
4/ If you like to use authoritative labels such as number of fans, x years of experience, titles, historical success data, etc. instead of factual logic to prove that your content is worth watching, you don’t have to watch it.
5/You don’t have to read any conclusions that predict the future (but the arguments may be valuable)
