从新生大学app开发出来到现在已经快半年了，意味着我正式加入新生大学也是半年了。从一开始不知道这个社群会建成怎样，只是抱着对李笑来的信任加入，到现在这里成为我收听讲座，练习写作，认识战友的平台，很感谢当初那个下定决定付费入群的自己。
虽然自己每天都会去打开新生大学，然而或许直到今天，我才意识到自己平时错过什么——浓缩书。我不知道新生大学里的战友们有多少是把每篇浓缩书都认真阅读的，至少我承认我没有。而我从每篇阅读数量来看，也能看出其实并没有多少人利用好了这个资源，因为阅读数量大多在100左右。
其实一开始我对浓缩书并不感冒，一方面是因为选的书，我感兴趣的有限；另一方面，浓缩书的观点正如其名，浓缩精华，而思维犯懒的我在面对海量信息的时候有点消化不过来，于是干脆选择不看。唉，这种遇到问题就逃避的心理，我真应该认真严肃的对待起来了。
今天想说这个话题，是因为今天的一本浓缩书，真让我感受到浓缩书的目的和价值所在，这本书：如何读一本书。
先来谈谈浓缩书这个模块：
首先，浓缩书的选书优质。全是英文读物，让读者接受第一手资料的精华。正如它的介绍：
浓缩书精选优质好书，提炼原书观点精粹，过滤庞杂信息，为你呈现全书要点。只需短短10分钟，就能读完一本几千字的浓缩书。
介绍很朴素，内容如介绍一样，不带偏颇的提炼精华。的确做到了让读者10分钟全新的思维审视世界。
其次，浓缩书信息齐全。每本书配原书图片，书本中英文翻译，作者，出版时间以及简介。然而，最贴心的更是附上了美亚评分以及kindle原版书地址。而这个贴心的功能其实也更好的服务了“如何阅读一本书”，这个我后面阐述。
再次，浓缩书内容丰富。每本“浓缩书”正文，分为内容摘要和浓缩总结。内容摘要：将作者的目的和主要观点提取。浓缩总结，把书本主要章节和主要内容进行精简。其实在我看来，这基本上是一个选书的最好的参考
说完浓缩书功能，我想要细细说今天影响我的这本书:如何读一本书.
李笑来之前在学习学习再学习的公众号里推荐过密西根大学的Paul N. Edwards《How to read a book》,后来又贴出了中译版。说实话，这是我第一次接触如何正确的去读书的文章。文中提到的不要从头到尾阅读，要学会跳读，要带着问题去读，要读三遍等观念给我带来挺大的冲击的。
而《如何读一本书》这个浓缩书，更是让我对如何阅读有了更深刻的了解，甚至有了一种突然打通任督二脉的感觉，想急切的去把书中提到的techniques付诸实践。（于是我重读把时间当作朋友）
书中提到：
分析阅读好书的目的是启迪而不是获取信息。
思考在阅读中起着至关重要的作用，我们要尝试去和作者去交流，就像Paul说的，我们要假设我们自己是给书去写评价的，带着批判的眼光去阅读。在阅读中我们需要思考四个重要的问题：
这本书是关于什么的？
书里说了什么？
书中内容是真的么？
内容很重要么？
浓缩书里介绍，这本书把阅读分为：基础阅读、检视阅读、分析阅读和主题阅读几个层次。并着重分析了分析阅读（即如何运用思考去阅读，该掌握哪些思考的技巧）和主题阅读（阅读同一主题的一系列书籍，并综合起来得出属于自己的新观点）。通过10分钟的浓缩书，让我掌握了如何去读一本书的基本方法，学会了如何去在阅读中思考。
浓缩书中还提到，考虑是否买一本书，预读书很重要。把文章的主要观点，结论，引言等进行翻阅，了解全书等意图和构思后在购买。浓缩书不正是做到了这点么？不仅仅把主要观点进行了提炼，还对主要的内容进行概括，把全书的结构整理出体系以此来判断这本书是否值得购买是最合适不过的了。
我们在学习过程中总是去问别人要工具，要方法，要资源，这无可厚非。可是，经过今天巨大收获，我的感受是以后我们在像别人要资源的时候，先好好想想如何能够充分利用好了身边已有的资源，用英文的一个动词来说,需要exploit才行。
最后，我在写这篇文章之前，意外的收获了培根写的一篇有关读书的文章。看过后发现，虽然每个人阐述的如何阅读一本书的方法不一样，但是核心要点都是一致的：思考才是阅读的目的。
Of studies
by Francis Bacon
Studies serve for delight, for ornament, and for ability.
Their chief use for delight is privateness and retiring; for ornament, is in discourse; and for ability, is in the judgment and disposition of business.
For expert men can execute, and perhaps judge of particulars, one by one; but the general counsels, and the plots and marshalling of affairs, come best from those that are learned.
To spend too much time in studies is sloth; to use them too much for ornament, is affectation; to make judgment wholly by their rules, is the humor of a scholar.
Crafty men condemn studies, simple men admire them, and wise men use them; for they teach not their own use; but that is a wisdom without them, and above them, won by observation.
Read not to contradict and confute; nor to believe and take for granted; nor to find talk and discourse; but to weigh and consider.
Some books are to be tasted, others to be swallowed, and some few to be chewed and digested; that is, some books are to be read only in parts; others to be read, but not curiously; and some few to be read wholly, and with diligence and attention.
Some books also may be read by deputy, and extracts made of them by others; but that would be only in the less important arguments, and the meaner sort of books, else distilled books are like common distilled waters, flashy things.
Reading maketh a full man; conference a ready man; and writing an exact man. Reading adds perfection to a man's personality.
And therefore, if a man write little, he had need have a great memory; if he confer little, he had need have a present wit; and if the read little, he had need have much cunning, to seem to know that he doth not.
Histories make men wise; poets witty; the mathematics subtle; natural philosophy deep; moral grave; logic and rhetoric able to contend.
Abeunt studia in mores. Nay, there is no stond or impediment in the wit but may be wrought out by fit studies; like as diseases of the body may have appropriate exercises.
So if a man's wit be wandering, let him study the mathematics; for in demonstrations, if his wit be called away never so little, he must begin again.
If his wit be not apt to distinguish or find differences, let him study the Schoolmen; for they are cymini sectores.
If he be not apt to beat over matters, and to call up one thing to prove and illustrate another, let him study the lawyers' cases. So every defect of the mind may have a special receipt.
