Chapter 32 Go to a bookstore if you want to change your life

"There is no golden house in the book!" Someone satirized the famous saying "there is a golden house in the book".However, I dare say that there must be a house of gold in the book.If someone does not find the way to the house of gold in the book, it must be because she has read too few books, or there is a serious preference for the type of book she chooses, and it must be one of the two.The Achilles heel of women lies in the preference of book selection.There are three types of women who read books in the subway.Company employees who read novels, college students who read textbooks, and devout believers who read Buddhist scriptures or the Bible.

It's a pity that no woman reads practical books, even the ubiquitous "How to Make a Billion" and the like.Is it for this reason that women are often seen as mindless creatures?Most women may think that practical books, life books, and history books other than novels are not interesting, but how can this kind of book that teaches us how to live in the world be inferior to a fictional novel?If you read a good practical book, you will definitely experience another kind of pleasure in reading.Read a wide range of books, there will always be a chance to find answers to your doubts in different books.After graduating from university, Shimi has changed jobs six times, but she is still not satisfied with her job.Every time I think "this is the last time", but I can't help but want to submit another resignation letter.If you are just immersed in this emotion of wanting to give up, your work life will naturally be miserable.However, by chance, Shimei read a book by an American speaker.At first, I just wanted to pass the time, but I didn't expect that the more I read, the more I felt unable to extricate myself.In the process of reading this book, Shimei clearly understood her problems at work.This book lists people who can't work, and there is a type of person who seems to be talking about her.At the same time, the book also mentions in detail how people like her should overcome their shortcomings and improve their chances of success.Shimi immediately tried the suggestions in the book.Compared with before, she is fully able to work with enthusiasm and desire.

After a period of time, the "medicinal effect" of this book weakened, so she looked for other books to adjust her mood and at the same time strengthen her decision.In the end, she settled down in the sixth company and started a happy working life.Steve Chandler said in the book that for all people, there is a book that can change their destiny.In other words, among the vast sea of ​​good books, at least one is just right for you.How lucky it is to have a sage who has experienced exactly the same situation as you and taught you the methods to overcome difficulties and realize your wishes!Some people will say that there are too many things that can replace books, and it is not necessary to read books.

In today's world, one only needs to watch an hour-long TV documentary to get a general idea of ​​what the Human Genome Recombination Project is. Just enter "King Sejong" on an Internet search engine to find out what he stands for.However, the information we want to know can be found at our fingertips, so there is no need to read books?I have a friend who earns a lot of money, but also spends a lot of money, and hardly has any savings, so I suggest her to read popular books on finance and investment.But my friend said to me: "What can reading that kind of book change? After all, isn't it just some advice to save money? You can find countless ways to save money on the Internet." I asked her if she had read any of them. There are no such books, she said.All I can do is persuade her to read at least one of these books, if she is being deceived.No matter how easy it is to collect information, those successful people, without exception, like to read.Because the necessity of books is not so much for us to understand the unknown world, but for us to have a deeper understanding of the other side of what we already "know".In other words, one of the more important functions of books than conveying information is to help us gain "new" insights.In fact, in the world we live in, intelligence is more tangible and more important than information.
