Cognitive Awakening: a Lifelong Learning Methodology (Youth Learning Edition)

Therefore, the reading method I recommend is to read through a book first, and then put it aside to "cool" for a few days. After the brain "cools", close the book and ask yourself "What else can you think of now?"

In fact, I have never read "such" books. "Such" books refer to books whose titles can dissuade me most of the time. They are all methods, success studies, wealth-making scriptures, human nature research, psychological analysis, etc., As if reading them can change my life. This encounter was a great honor and a coincidence. Recently, I have been looking for books to improve myself. Unlike the past where I extracted experience from biographies and historical legends, this time I wanted to try the efficacy of "such" books. Of course, VIP reading is a big part of the reason for choosing this book, and the high rating is also part of it. In addition, the word "cognition" has become very popular in recent years, and everyone talks about lack of cognition, so I chose to read this book when I had the opportunity. Even after reading a few pages, I already felt that this was a rare and good book. "Real, practical, true and real", without any exaggeration, the book is full of citations, many examples and theories are well-founded, and the writing style is also very logical, making it a refreshing read. The book mentions a lot of knowledge points, each of which is enough to improve oneself. It is a rare "tool book".

Highly recommended. Really useful for cognitive enhancement. What impresses me deeply is the emotional brain, instinctive brain and rational brain. This is a good description of the relationship between emotion, instinct and reason in our real life. Maybe we have a misunderstanding and always think that reason is supreme. Through this book, we will understand that these three coexist and symbiotic, and there is no need for three parties to compete. If we coordinate the three parties to work together, we can do things with twice the result with half the effort. The second is meta-cognition, the second is changing the perspective of looking at difficulties (which helps reduce the impact of negative emotions), and the last is paying equal attention to efforts and methods and persisting, so that we are more likely to learn knowledge or achieve the results we want. This book can soothe your emotions and reduce internal friction! Worth reading carefully.

When I closed "Cognitive Awakening: Youth Learning Edition", I suddenly understood the source of countless confusions in my past studies - it turns out that the struggle against inertia, the time stolen by distractions, and the retreat when faced with problems all hide the secrets of brain evolution. What shocked me most about this book is that it uses the triple structure of "instinct brain, emotional brain, and rational brain" to reveal the truth about inefficiency in learning: We always use our weak rational brain to fight against the nature of hundreds of millions of years of evolution, but we don't know that true wisdom is learning to reconcile with ourselves. The concept of "learning at the edge of the comfort zone" in the book suddenly dawned on me. I used to always worry about difficult problems or kill time on simple tasks, but I didn't realize that the key to progress is to find the stretching zone that is "just a jump away". The "write it down" method is more like a key. When I transform my vague worries and chaotic thoughts into words on the tip of my pen, the emotions that bother me suddenly become clear and controllable. The most amazing thing is the metacognitive training. Now I will remind myself "what am I thinking about at the moment" when my mind wanders. This kind of thinking about thinking changes learning from passive acceptance to active control. It turns out that learning is never hard work against one's nature, but one that follows the trend after understanding the laws of the brain. Thanks to the author for turning complex cognitive science into a revelation close to life, which made me understand: the real learning methodology is to first understand your own brain, and then let your rational brain take its nature to go further.

This book had a great influence on me and made me discover some of my own shortcomings. When faced with failure, I would think about how to do better, but I would not use the correct method to change. I would just go around in circles step by step, without seeming to have any breakthrough. I think the biggest feeling this book gave me was not only that it let me know what method I should use to change, but also that It made me realize more deeply that I need to change. Maybe I really need to explore those places that I have never discovered. When facing some things, I should think from a different perspective, instead of blindly saying that I can't succeed, that I am not good at learning, etc. To suppress myself and deny all my previous efforts. In fact, I think this book has awakened me in some aspects. Finally, I hope I will get better and better! I also hope this book will be read by more people!

This book deserves 5 stars. This book focuses on "seeking within" (Tang) in a certain sense. It seems that once I made such a comment, I fell into some kind of trap unnoticeably. In the opening chapter, it is mentioned that humans are "self-explaining animals" (in lay terms, self-deception). Most sensitive people will notice that humans engage in self-deception even if they have not been exposed to this point of view. This should be used as a dividing line between "self-explaining animals" and "self-explaining people". This book still has that color.

This book provides many ideas that are different from the books I have read. It provided me with new methods from other perspectives and benefited me a lot. 1. This book introduces topics from the instinctive brain, emotional brain and rational brain. It illustrates a truth: Letting the instinctive brain and emotional brain charge and controlling the rational brain is one of the secrets of long-term persistence. 2. From the 7-ball theory, the principles and methods of maintaining attention are thrown out, the most important of which are the Pomodoro Technique and the Writing Method. 3. Proposed the concept of metacognition, which I personally believe can be combined with subsequent environmental influences and personal cognitive influences, and internalized into comprehensive cognition. 4. I think one of the most important points is to reduce ambiguity, including emotional ambiguity and learning ambiguity. 5Positive feedback. I prefer to quote Wang Yangming's "Sit still and be still, practice in doing things, and gain in giving up." Of course, what is ultimately important is to be flexible and the unity of knowledge and action is the right answer.

Good book, good book, good book! Say important things three times. It is definitely a good book and a good reference book. It is worth reading often, always new, and constantly improving!

This book feels like it has further deepened and connected some insights in that part of my life that I understand, and many of the views have made it to my heart. Especially the previous description of the control of human actions as the game and coordination between the emotional brain, the instinctive brain, and the rational brain, which allowed me to better accept the rationality of various states in my own decision-making, and also allowed me to better understand the decisions of others. Later, it was said that the progress of learning is the elimination of ambiguity. This really shocked my cognition. In retrospect, when I was thinking about something, I suddenly figured out that it was indeed the process of eliminating ambiguity. Anyway, I just saw this, and haven't read the rest yet. Anyway, I think this book is quite easy to understand. People like me who haven't read a few books feel a lot of impact, so I think this book will be easier to understand.

This is a good book that helps you understand how to study, why you study, and how to give yourself a constant driving force to make learning easier. It is really very rewarding. I recommend everyone to read it and take a look.

Let yourself have a new understanding and thinking about learning and growth. Human growth is ultimately a concrete manifestation of learning and growth. The key point of learning and growth is the improvement of learning ability. There are certain theories and methods for improvement. Correct cognition and methods, coupled with continuous improvement, will inevitably lead to your own growth!

Like an elder who teaches earnestly. It's a pity that I didn't read this book when I was in school. I'm glad that I have encountered this book now. I recommend it to people at all stages, whether they are in school or entering society. This book is worth reading and understanding again and again.

It's really great. I feel like I learned a lot

It made me realize very well that people should not live in chaos, and it is impossible not to move forward. I made peace with myself, walked happily on the unknown journey, felt, experienced, watched the ups and downs of emotions, put down a story, picked up a new day, and moved forward.

Be enlightened, make plans, write down tasks, and have a clear mind about what you want to do, not what you can do. Instead of checking in and checking the boxes that day, you will feel the same sense of accomplishment. I feel like I need to read it a few more times, or take action now. It's a short story and very inspiring.

A very good book that allows us to see the essence of learning clearly, so that we can learn better and learn better. Often used to encourage yourself and your children. Both adults and students can read it, and the earlier you read it, the sooner you will benefit.

As the book says, we need to understand how the brain works in order to learn better. I liked the introduction about the brain in the book, it gave me more confidence in my own learning. I think this book is not only suitable for teenagers, but also suitable for each of us. I recommend you to read it, you will definitely gain something!

Provides a lot of useful things and provides direction. Very good book 👍

The book talks about reading and studying after exercising and obeying the physiological growth laws of the brain, which will help us become better people. Everyone should succeed in losing weight once, twice or even three times in their life, so that you can freely apply the methodology mentioned in the book. Of course, other things can also be used to successfully accomplish one thing, and this methodology can be extended to other things. Success in life may be the process of achieving goals one after another. The road will naturally be straight when it reaches the front of the mountain, come on

Yes, it can help people realize where the problem is in themselves, not whether they are smart or not, but whether they are dedicated or not. I think it will be of great help to students to learn how to focus on one thing.

This book uses scientific principles to describe why learning is resisted by the brain, how to learn easily and other learning-related content, and explains the principles of learning. The content is humorous, vivid, and easy to understand.

It's very practical. I gained a lot after reading it. I drew a lot of underlines. I really hope they are all free. When I forget, I can read it again to deepen my memory. I really like the author Zhou Ling's book📚

This book is really amazing. I felt enlightened after reading these chapters. You must read it. It's super awesome and beautiful.

This book integrates brain science, psychology and other knowledge to reveal the underlying laws of learning, such as growth at the edge of the comfort zone, improvement of metacognition, etc. Don't work blindly, master the learning secrets of clarity, focus, and feedback, stimulate inner motivation, and reshape learning habits.

I have read two parts of the Cognitive Trilogy and I really like the author's writing style. Everything comes down to the final analysis and is more convincing. It breaks conventional fallacies and makes people's eyes brighter. Everything is in a subtle dynamic balance...

You can learn a lot of useful knowledge from the book. If you understand the starting point of all your actions, you will know how to use the desired method to solve it. If this kind of learning method could be seen in high school, maybe the results would be different.

Recommended for you who are confused and anxious, as well as those who want to improve your cognition and underlying logic methods, this book will become a friend to all of us.

This book gradually helped me understand a lot about the nature and methods of learning. It made me realize that according to the laws of the brain, finding a learning method that suits me would be of great help in learning more efficiently. It also made me more confident in learning.

It's pretty good. The methods described in it feel very scientific and indeed make sense. If you can really do it down-to-earth, it will really be effective. Isn't it that what we are always looking for is to make ourselves stronger? The goals and methods in the book are useful. Read it carefully and you will gain something.

It is a good reference book for people who like to learn, and it is an effective guide book for students who are studying. The methods in the book are well explained and you can pick it up and use it after reading it. It is worth reading.
