Thoughts

昨天看完书还是有些云里雾里,今天终于理清了一些。这章的作用就是为之后登场的7habits做铺垫。

昨天介绍了什么是paradigm

Paradigms are powerful because they create the lens through which we see the world.

而今天开始引入了Principles和7 habits,那么三者的关系是怎样的?

所以我们如果想做paradigm shift,从根本来说,就是要从这7个习惯开始改变。

从去年7月开始加入读书群,到现在刚好一年,在读书并进行思考以后,我终于体会到什么是Eric说的思维方式的转变与升级。就拿和家人相处来说,以前的我在家里脾气非常大,十分容易对家人发火。而且一吵架觉得只有自己是对的,别人全是错的。就像今天书里举得那例子:婚姻陷入危机的夫妻,他们总是觉得是对方需要改变,而从来不想想自己是不是也有问题。我也是这样,但不知道从哪次吵架开始,我突然问自己:我为什么会生气?我是怎么想的?这不就是书里说的inside-out approach吗?

“Inside-out” means to start first with self; even more fundamentally to start with the most inside part of self-with your paradigms, your character, and your motives.

心理学上也有一种“认知疗法”,可以用来改变思维方式。方法很简单,就是记录下你的想法,接着想自己是如何这样想到的。然后用其他的方式重新思考这个问题,得到新的结果。

所以改变根源还是从认知自己开始,然后逐步提升自己,提升的方式也许就在这7个习惯里。

当然,这个过程是漫长的,也不可能存在一个节点。只有自己慢慢去体会,也许一天你就找到自己的paradigm shift了。

人生就是一场修行,一起来学习接下来的这7个习惯吧!
