Nietzsche once said: "Of all animals, humans are the clumsiest and most bizarre beings." This is because the initial design characteristics of the human brain have five major cognitive flaws: excessive pursuit of simplicity, obsession with fixed numbers, involuntary emotions, constant inner conflicts, and putting the cart before the horse in life. Are humans helpless in the face of imperfect evolution? The answer is to activate the underlying logic of cognition—metacognition. Metacognition is cognitive cognition, which is human beings' recognition and understanding of their own "thinking process". Popular expression, that is, every time you have a "sudden realization", it is essentially a process of activating meta-cognition. The strength of metacognitive ability determines the strength of every aspect of a person. Metacognition is important because it not only helps you understand yourself, but also helps you understand others better. By improving and transcending metacognition, we can proactively change the stubborn thinking of our brains, break through cognitive limitations, view the world we live in objectively and rationally, make better decisions, and gain the ability to grow throughout our lives. Metacognitive skills can not only be learned, but can also be developed over time and continuously through connections.
This book combines five major coping strategies: controlling simplistic psychology, overcoming fixation obsession, getting rid of emotional hijacking, striving for unity, pursuing true meaning and more than 20 interesting meditation and thinking exercises to help you quickly acquire metacognitive abilities. Following the footsteps of this book, you will find that you are one step closer to seeing yourself and this complicated world clearly!
Reader comments
Wow, this book seems very interesting! It mentions human cognitive deficits and coping strategies, and also teaches us how to activate metacognition. Just like the little prince in "The Little Prince", he continues to learn and grow during his travels, and slowly understands himself and the world. I think this book can help us understand ourselves and others better and make better decisions. Moreover, there are many interesting meditation and thinking exercises in the book, just like playing games, it must be fun! I would like to recommend it to other friends to read together.
This book has a clear structure. It first explains the basic concepts of metacognition, and then goes into the application methods, so that readers can learn it step by step. The core ideas put forward in the book are particularly novel. It emphasizes that actively controlling metacognition is the key to breaking the limitations of thinking. For example, using the effective method of metacognitive monitoring, people can detect biases hidden deep in their thinking, such as confirmation bias and other subtle "thinking traps." Once discovered, you can promptly adjust your thinking direction, broaden your cognitive scope, and lay a solid foundation for personal growth and better decision-making. It is believed that active control of metacognition can break the limitations of thinking, such as discovering and correcting biases in thinking through metacognitive monitoring. The book is very practical and provides many practical skills, such as metacognitive intervention strategies, which can help you adjust when your thinking is affected by stress and anxiety.
