This is a complex era, which arouses people's endless desires, but also brings more noise, constantly creating mental entropy in you and me, making our judgment, emotion, and action completely out of control. Fighting entropy is everyone's lifelong homework. The optimal solution is to reconstruct a more sophisticated, concise, and energy-saving thinking and action framework, focus cognitive energy only on growth goals, and regain control of life. This book uses entropy reduction as the main axis to explore the underlying thinking logic, and based on classic cognitive psychology theory and the latest flow research, it provides a complete set of practical tools to help achieve self-improvement and gain true happiness. This is not a beautiful book, but a solemn invitation to you - inviting you to really devote your time and attention, use your heart flow to declare war on entropy, and start a journey of self-change from thinking to action.
Reader comments
Live a life of reduced entropy, live a simple and happy life.
I had come into contact with the concept of entropy two years ago. At that time, I was still in the fog and couldn't figure it out. Although this book is the author's first work, it uses easy-to-understand language and vivid and interesting cases. It finally allowed me to understand the action guide of entropy.
In the process of reading, I have recommended this book to several friends, and I am also planning to buy the paper version of this book to better learn the methods in it. Only by practicing the methods can you truly finish reading this book. I am also very grateful to the author for his sincerity. This book is highly recommended.
This book is like a caring friend, giving me a lot of practical advice. Especially at a time when I had just had a baby and was facing huge physical and mental challenges, it helped me understand how to find inner peace in the complexity of life. The methods and tools in the book helped me learn to better manage my emotions and energy. Just like "Breaking Away", it teaches us to let go of unnecessary burdens and focus on what is truly important. I think this applies not only to mothers, but to everyone who wants to improve their quality of life. Recommended to everyone!
I didn't want to read the book superficially, so I decided to force myself to write my thoughts after reading. I didn't use AI and just wrote whatever came to my mind. I feel that I have been living in a hazy state, a bit like a "living person slightly dead". I pursue low-level happiness. It is normal to stay up late in the morning and check my mobile phone. I am indifferent and uninterested in everything, and I am unable to immerse myself in life. The purpose of reading this book is to understand myself better, explore my inner world, and find what I want. The author seems to have installed a monitor on me. Many negative cases are consistent with my current physical and mental state. Since I opened this book, I have a heart that wants to change the status quo. I learned to try to change bit by bit, waiting for the critical point of compound interest to arrive.
I have read a lot of books and understood a lot of truths, but I cannot stop internal friction from time to time. When I saw the title, I really wanted to read this book. I learned from this book that the highest form of entropy increase is internal friction. Fighting internal friction is fighting entropy increase. The author provides a series of entropy reduction guides to reduce internal friction. The most effective one is to make the complex world orderly through flow, drive away those unnecessary thoughts, and internal friction will naturally disappear. But it is not easy to enter a flow state. It requires a high degree of concentration. In today's era, mobile phones have become the master of people's free time. Our brains are filled with all kinds of complicated information, which greatly distracts our attention. Therefore, if you want to experience flow, you must take your time away from your mobile phone and focus on something effective. Then you will be full of energy and satisfied, and gain inner peace and tranquility.
This book is very in-depth and in line with our current society. The writing is also very good.
As soon as I saw the word "entropy", I immediately thought it was very profound, so I put it on the bookshelf to gather dust. Later, I stopped reading novels, so it was the first book I opened on the bookshelf. I just wanted to give it a try, and then I read it. Although this book has relatively professional concepts, it does not introduce them directly, but slowly introduces them through eloquent explanations, and the explanations are relatively clear.
I was very touched after reading this book. Let's take watching videos as an example. I was always distracted by various emotions while watching videos. The more I watched them, I discovered different voices and wondered why I was so addicted before. I saw some people commenting that they always get angry when watching WB, and I also get angry while watching videos. If you don't want to be angered and want to be happy, you buy things that cater to your tastes. Big data understands your preferences and pushes more and more, and then you enter an information cocoon. The Internet also advocates breaking the information cocoon, and then all kinds of big events come one after another. If you don't become an indifferent spectator, you will be unable to change.
There was a blogger I followed who made rumour-refuting videos. She pointed out that although she had been exposed to a lot of information when collecting information, the knowledge was too fragmented and unsystematic, so that the time for reading was shortened. I felt the same way. It seemed like I was well-informed, but in fact I had no trace of it, so I also read a book. One passage in particular was enlightening to me, and I hope to encourage you all:
"Mild pessimism can make people think twice before acting, but today, with unprecedented involution, even a few jokes on the Internet can arouse huge emotional resonance for too many people and easily collapse people's spirits. The root of the sense of hopelessness and worthlessness comes from the misalignment of the level of the problems being considered. Many grand and abstract social realities The problems are not unimportant, and there is nothing wrong with paying attention to and thinking about them, but it is just not suitable for the current ordinary and fragile self. When too much weighty information impacts a person's cognitive system and the individual is unable to bear it, he will fall into a vicious cycle of endless thinking about unsolvable problems. "
I had some feelings during the process, but I really didn't have any deep feelings afterwards.
My understanding of entropy reduction is to continuously expand one's energy and abilities, gain more areas of control, and then achieve sustained achievement and a sense of freedom.
For many people, to please oneself, one must first please others, because pleasing others can be exchanged for external value. External value is the environmental basis for human survival, but pleasing oneself is the goal, and survival is also for life.
Although I don't have Lei Jun's big ambitions, I still want to use my own efforts to do more things that are meaningful and valuable to a small-scale society.
The theme is clear and the ideas are borrowed from many books of the same type. It requires a certain amount of reading to understand.
Increased entropy = short, fast, disordered, messy brain.
Entropy reduction = simple, continuous, engaging, challenging.
A life of entropy reduction is suitable for practicing throughout your life. It is the opposite of entertaining yourself to death. Gradually optimize your life and make it more sustainable happiness.
In a world with huge entropy increase, almost everyone will go from order to disorder, and eventually get trapped in the quagmire. This book explains how everyone's status is formed in the world of increasing entropy in modern society, what the harm is, why they are confused, and how to deal with the increase in entropy correctly. It guides people in the confused way.
After reading this book, I was enlightened. We live in such a chaotic and complicated era. Entropy is constantly increasing. When it reaches a certain level, it will lead to depression or even death. Both physical entropy and environmental entropy can be solved. It will be fine if we give up. However, it is really difficult to reduce psychological entropy to a negative number. It's also difficult, because human nature is to think inertia, save time, effort, and simplicity. New information is constantly coming in and distracting attention. If the brain cannot cope with it, it will be in a state of chaos. After reading this book, I will try my best to be a simple person.
The book written by the author is great. Reading this book gave me a clearer self-understanding of myself, knowing how to deal with internal friction, a direction for self-improvement, and understanding of how to enter flow. The author is like a friend, providing me with advice by my side.
Very nb, as the author said, this is a reference book that combines principles and practical methods. The author has read a lot of books, and with the purpose of reducing mental entropy and obtaining a satisfying sense of happiness, he interweaves the concepts in various books with each other. There is no nonsense and a lot of useful information. I recommend everyone to read it.
Nice looking, I happen to be in a state of anxiety
Very good, the angle is very special
I am one with the author
It looks good. I like it. I love it. Come on.
Good, good, good, good, good, good
It has changed me again. It is easier for me to control my inner self.
I am already on the road of living my own life, please encourage me
Let yourself understand a lot and improve your understanding
Let me understand why I am confused and confused
Another book, something I have been pondering for a long time, only to find that someone has already systematically summarized it.
I like it very much. It has many thoughts and methods. It is currently the most unstoppable book that I have read in 2026.
Although I haven't finished reading it, it is very well written and very consistent with my past, behavior, and thoughts.
Breaking the stereotyped cognition is of great practical guidance value!
