The Power of Habit: Eight Selected Articles on Reading Comprehension

In the process of reading the works written by the author, I feel a lot in my heart. The function of post-reading is to record the emergence of my own questions and the final answers to these questions. So, do you know how to write after reading? So, I collected and sorted out the power of habit for you. I hope it will be helpful to your work and life.

Reflections on the Power of Habit (Chapter 1) I finished the first part of the power of habit last night.

The first part mainly talks about the causes of personal preference. Habits cannot be eliminated, but can only be changed.

This paper analyzes the habit of monkeys looking at images and pulling the lever to get plum juice. The image is a hint, and pulling the lever is a habitual action to get plum juice as a reward. Finally, it is concluded that the cultivation of habits must have two parts: suggestion and reward.

Later, through examples, I explained that these two parts are not enough. If you want to form a habit, you need to crave this desire to realize it.

The author uses the habit that people who quit smoking will continue to smoke after encountering special things, and those who quit drinking will continue to drink when pressure comes, telling everyone that habits cannot be completely eliminated and can only be carried out by changing ways.

The article cites a large number of experiments and examples, such as losing weight, dieting and exercising. I'm thinking, I also want to lose weight, diet and exercise, but I haven't formed such a habit yet, just one or two impulses. I hope I can write down what my hints are and what my rewards are in the next article, so as to form better habits.

The Power of Habit (Part II) There is a fallacy that it only takes 2 1 day to form a habit. What I want to say is that such a short time is not enough.

In a comfortable environment, people's minds will be changed, and they always feel that they can get money without studying, and procrastination and laziness will also occur. Learning is the goal of life. Only by continuous learning can the brain store more knowledge, and at the same time, it will get better development and change itself.

I remember a sentence in "Take Time as a Friend" which is very touching, to the effect that "our brains can control our brains", and we can control our brains to enhance our execution. For example, laziness procrastination is the subconscious control of the body by the brain. Everyone knows that it is very comfortable to sleep late in the morning, even if you sleep for an extra minute, this is also the reason why it is more difficult to get up early.

Everyone will form the habit of procrastination, and like to put things off again and again. On the day of inspection, it is a state of "stubble, eyebrows and beards". The best cure for procrastination and laziness is to force yourself to carry it out.

Self-confidence comes from faith, and attitude determines everything. No matter what is in front of you, even if it is a small thing, you should take it seriously.

Everyone likes to make plans of one kind or another. They always feel that the more tasks, the better, and hope to accomplish them better. It never occurred to me that under heavy pressure, people would return to their former comfort zone and regain their old habits. That's why you were full of confidence and worked hard at first, but you didn't finish it later.

Micro Habits tells us that even small habits that can't fail should be backed by self-discipline. A bad habit cannot be completely eliminated, only new habits can replace old ones.

Participating in the 100-day reading appointment is to better form habits, enrich knowledge and enrich yourself, and not to waste time. Reading and learning give us hints, enrich our knowledge and bring us returns, thus forming a habitual behavior and then forming a cycle of reading habits.

Since attending the book club, I have felt the full positive energy of my friends. Everyone has taken the initiative to participate in various activities and read and learn knowledge. Everyone wants to get the input of knowledge power, and also wants to change themselves through reading and learning.

The existence of an enterprise is inseparable from the support of the team. Every member has the same belief and team spirit, so that the enterprise will go far. There is a very good saying in The Power of Habit, "When people are alone, they are likely to doubt whether they have the ability to change themselves, but when they are together, everyone will persuade them to let go of their doubts. Therefore, it is the community that creates faith. "

"A person walks fast, a group of people walk fast and go far. Don't ignore the team, the strength of the team is endless! " . Only by joining the group to keep warm can it be beneficial to your own development and become a driving force for yourself.

Since I attended the 100-day reading appointment last month, I have been reading and punching in every day. A new habit has virtually replaced the old one.

In this atmosphere, everyone urges each other to learn something while completing the task.

Now I get up early and punch in with my friends. Punch in for nearly a month, sign in in Qiantang community 180 days, read more than a dozen books in March, and complete the review.

This is a step-by-step change, with subtle changes every day.

The Power of Habit (Chapter III) There are two kinds of people in the world, namely dreamers and doers. But in the end, the dreamer has nothing and wastes precious time, while the doer often becomes a great event. So, is there a great distance between a visionary and a doer? Not far, there is only one thing between them-habit.

As the author wrote in the book: "Habit determines character, and character determines fate." This sentence also indirectly illustrates the importance of habit. There are two kinds of habits: good habits and bad habits. Good habits can make people get what they want, while bad habits can only make you accomplish nothing. So how do we cultivate good habits? First of all, set a dead goal, think about which classmates, parents and teachers can help you, tell them your plan, write some notes and stick them at home to remind yourself at any time. But we must correct it with action. For example, there are five birds in the tree, and two fly away. How many birds are there? The answer is 3; There are five birds in the tree. Two birds want to fly away. How many birds are there? The answer is five! This also shows that it is not enough to just think or say without doing it. Another important issue is persistence. There is a story about a team coach admonishing his players, "Did Michael Jordan ever give up?" The team member replied: "No!" The coach said, "Where are the white brothers?" The team member replied, "No!" The coach said, "Where is Edison?" "no!" He asked again, "Where is Al Locaras?" The players were silent for a while and asked, "Who is Al Locaras?" The coach said, "Of course you haven't heard of him, because he gave up!" " "This shows the importance of persistence.

Let's see how to get rid of bad habits. Just like the word "change" in "get rid of", bad habits should be replaced with good habits, not directly erased. Because it is impossible to erase, habits, like character, cannot be erased. If you compare a bad habit to a moving train, no matter how many Mense you put on the road, you can't stop it. When you successfully put a Mense on it, it won't start. So the most important thing is to do it at once and stick to it.

The Power of Habit (Chapter 4) At the age of 65,438+05, I fell madly in love with fortune-telling books and eight-character fortune-telling methods. In a small room, I read calculations day and night. After getting started, I found some characters of people who died, and then compared them with this person's personality and life experience, and analyzed my calculation results. Maybe my skills are not good enough, shallow and narrow, and some people's. I'm confused. Later, I carefully read the Book of Changes and kept thinking about its meaning before I realized that it was not the calculation method. The so-called uncertainty is actually that people are born, life is a constant, luck is a variable, and fate is the result of the interweaving of constants and variables. Some people have a close relationship with numerology all their lives, while others are constantly adjusting and choosing and being rejected all their lives. I spent five months reading The Power of Habit intermittently, and got to know the framework of habit cycle: suggestion, habitual behavior, reward and inner desire, thus revealing that our so-called brilliant and despicable behavior is only the result of various simple or complex habits. The author also cited many positive and negative cases, which led to "you have freedom and responsibility" to reshape personal habits, especially manic high school graduates from drug-addicted families. From failure to despair, by changing my habits of thinking and behavior, I learned a successful manager story, which is about a housewife who slowly fell into the abyss of gambling and lost everything; From inheritance to bankruptcy; They are repeating a cycle of "hints, habitual behaviors and rewards". Maybe people we "hate" really return to themselves when we understand a poor person who is controlled by habits, sort out personal habits, constantly replace bad habits with new ones, and get a new life in material and thinking consciousness, which can also explain why many people's life experiences can't be inferred because they have passed through strong personal willpower and consciousness. Habit begins with dribs and drabs and is longer than repetition. Of course, some habits are hard to change, but once you realize the power and mechanism behind habits, you may surpass them from the technical level, have the power to control your life, and then use good habits to maximize your personal potential and create a better life! There is a saying that "it is difficult for a person to surpass his time", and it is understandable that it is difficult for a person to break through the time and space where his body is. However, with strong self-examination and self-examination ability, maybe we can change a little, even a little. One night fifteen years ago, when I was sitting under a light bulb to calculate other people's horoscopes, I never thought that fifteen years later, when I was sitting by the sea, I would write this passage. The future is unknown.

The Power of Habit (Chapter 5) At ordinary times, we always say, "A student has a good brain, but his habits are too bad to achieve results;" So-and-so students are not very clever, but they have good habits and achievements. "So, what is habit? I looked it up on Baidu. Habit refers to a long-term lifestyle. Then the learning style developed over time in learning can be called learning habits. Especially for students in the lower grades of primary school, it is more important to cultivate habits. At this time, students are young and have strong plasticity. Whether it is a good habit or a bad habit, once it is formed, it is more difficult to change it in the future.

Combined with my topic, it is also a habit for students to examine questions independently. Once this habit becomes natural, then the future mathematics teaching can focus on the teaching of mathematics knowledge, which can greatly improve students' learning efficiency. In order to better cultivate students' good habits, I carefully read the book "The Power of Habit", which really benefited a lot! The book says: "Behavior becomes habit, habit develops character, and character determines fate". Yes, in our life, everyone's impression on others is left by his behavior, while others judge a person more by his character, so the quality of both will have a great impact on his fate.

Therefore, it is very important for our teachers to help students form good habits in their study and life. Scientific research shows that it takes 2 1 day to form a habit. In other words, our parents and teachers should urge students for three weeks in a row to help them form good habits. There may be some students who need more than 2 1 day, which may be longer. Behavioral psychology research has found that in the 21 days when new habits are formed, the first seven days are "deliberate and unnatural", the last seven days are "deliberate and natural" and the last seven days are "casual and natural".

In The Power of Habit, Charles Duhige also talked about three elements of the "habit cycle": first, there is a hint that can make the brain enter a certain automatic behavior mode and decide to use that habit; The second step is to have a habitual behavior, which can be physical, mental or emotional; The third step, reward, let your brain distinguish whether to write down this loop for later use. Slowly, the "habit cycle" changed from deliberate to semi-automatic, and finally became more and more automatic. This is what the British writer Oscar Wilde said: "At first, we created habits, and later, habits created us." . When some habitual behaviors affect our life and study, we will find that good habits have brought great help to our life and study progress. On the contrary, bad habits just become their resistance.

As a math teacher, I want to guide students to form good habits and get rid of bad habits. Each student's original intelligence level is different, but intelligence can be developed through acquired efforts. As long as we can cultivate his good habits, we can improve his intelligence. Scientific research: 90% or even 95% of students' behaviors come from habits. Therefore, to let students develop good study habits is to improve their intelligence.

When students form the bad habit of doing things without looking at the topic, how to change their bad habits? This requires our teachers to master the three elements of "hint, habitual behavior and reward" in "The Power of Habit" and stick to it for a long time in order to be effective.

The Power of Habit (Chapter VI) The Power of Habit written by Jack Hodge, an American best-selling author, analyzes the powerful power of habit in everyone's life and career and tells us how to make full use of this power and give full play to everyone's potential. What is commendable is that it provides some effective tips for readers to constantly change bad habits and cultivate good habits, so that readers can effectively improve their work and life and achieve greater success. The author puts his point of view in simple terms, which is simple but not profound and unique. The author, Yu Xiang Jones, has a wide range of knowledge, wonderful metaphors and aphorisms, and is also a highlight of this book. This book is very enlightening in guiding us to overcome difficulties and can bring a lot of inspiration to readers. In addition, this book is beautifully printed, with pleasing illustrations and clever words and sentences, which is quite enough to increase the fun of reading. No wonder it was rated as the best-selling business life books in 2003 by Amazon Bookstore, new york Times and other authoritative organizations.

People often say that fate is impermanent, success is just luck, and how much you eat and wear is doomed. Is that really the case? The power of habit tells us that all success can be summed up in a habit, which is what is necessary to persist in success. How well you speak! Concise and profound, subtle and wonderful. Yes, as long as we continue to make a little progress in every link every day, that's all. We will accomplish small goals every day and make little progress towards big goals. Over time, we will naturally succeed. Reflect on our behavior: either only fantasy, no action; Either the forest garden is not prepared at ordinary times, and it can't be done then; Either three minutes of heat is anticlimactic, with a beginning and no end; Either fishing for three days or drying the net for two days lacks perseverance and is intermittent; Either muddle along or be lazy; Or fall short, only one step away from success, put it down. What we lack in doing things is the indomitable spirit, perseverance and perseverance necessary for success, so it is reasonable that we often miss success. This shows that fate is not impermanent, but that the harder we work, the better our luck will be; Success is not luck, but the result of heaven's reward for diligence, which is for those who are prepared; How much to eat and wear is not destiny takes a hand, but we strive for it ourselves.

In the fifth chapter of the first part of this book, the author advocates that we do some hard work every day to hone ourselves. At first glance, contrary to common sense, human nature is to stay away from suffering and pursue happiness. A thoughtful but philosophical man is not good, and a good man is evil, so what an old man should do is what he wants to do, not what he can do; Even if there is a tendency of self-abuse when looking for trouble and self-deception when having fun in pain, the potential can often be fully exerted. The author's original intention is: suffering is the best shortcut to improve yourself; No one can overcome himself without suffering.

For a hundred years, people have always been worried and tired, and happiness is hard to stay. It's as if God created people to suffer in this world. When dealing with suffering, we often feel a little unaccustomed, or a little nervous and stressed, even anxious and fearful, but this is the time for us to grow up! If we don't hone ourselves in suffering, then we will be afraid of difficulties day after day and suffer from loss year after year. Defeat the enemy without fighting. To overcome suffering, we must have the enthusiasm like first love and the religious will to do things. Only in this way can we break through difficulties and setbacks and make some achievements; Only by refusing comfort and cutting off gentleness can you fight the eagle in the sky in the storm, ride the wind and waves on the stormy beach, and enjoy the infinite scenery in the meantime, so that you can enjoy life without scruple.

Doing simple things repeatedly, so as to form the habit of diligence, persistence, thinking and rigor, is the only way to success, and it is also the author's earnest expectation for us.

The Power of Habit (Chapter 7) Charles? Duhig is a reporter in The New York Times. He has a comprehensive background in Yale history and Harvard business administration, and won the Pulitzer Prize in 20xx. In short, this is a brilliant writer.

Generally speaking, reading this book is relaxing and enjoyable, and you can get stories and theories from psychology, society, history and many other disciplines, so as to deeply understand how habits affect individuals, organizations and society. It is a book worthy of intensive reading and thinking, which usually takes 5-6 hours to finish.

This book has several characteristics:

1. A core framework runs through the book. From the first chapter to study the brain, and finally to give suggestions for action, we always revolve around the formula of habit-suggestion-habitual behavior-reward cycle. Hint refers to a trigger point, which may be internal and external factors such as time, sound and emotion; Habitual behavior refers to the action that the brain will automatically perform without thinking; Reward refers to the reward behavior after ending the usual behavior, which may be relaxing mood or letting yourself eat a hamburger. The continuous circulation of these three elements constitutes human habits.

2. Three levels of development. The whole book has three parts, individuals, organizations and society. 1). The individual part focuses on how human habits are formed, how to create new habits and how to change individual habits. Psychology takes up a lot of space here. The formation and change of personal habits not only applies to personal promotion, but also explains how effective activities such as marketing, leading the team to success, quitting smoking and drinking occur. 2) In the organizational part, it introduces how to find out the leverage solution habit in an organization that incites the whole global change and even forms culture and values. When organizations form good habits, it will lead to changes in employees' lives and produce great commercial and social values. On the contrary, regardless of these laws, they will step on mines. Finally, this paper also introduces how big data can predict consumer behavior, which has been widely used in the Internet industry in China. 3) In the social part, how to promote the civil rights movement leads to the formation of social group habits, which has entered the category of sociology. Personally, I think the last chapter talks about social responsibility through sleepwalking and gambling, which is a bit far-fetched.

3. A classic story throughout. Charles adopts the method of main story+secondary case for each chapter. 1) The main line of the story appears at the beginning, middle and end, so each chapter echoes from beginning to end. For example, in the fifth chapter, the protagonist was born in a drug-addicted family, never graduated from high school, and worked in McDonald's and other companies, but he was always shrouded in the shadow of life. After he entered Starbucks, the way Starbucks shaped organizational habits improved his work ability and changed his work and living habits. He eventually became a successful store manager and lived a different life from his parents. The main stories are all based on actual stories, even from a large number of interviews, so the sense of substitution and reading pleasure are very strong. 2) In order to introduce the theory of this chapter, Charles will introduce stories from different industries and disciplines. For example, in chapter 7, when introducing consumer behavior prediction, we will give an example of how the record industry makes golden songs. According to research, golden songs are often sticky, and stickiness comes from the audience's familiarity with the brain, so they can't help but listen, or even listen. The way to create golden songs is to create a sense of familiarity. For this reason, the radio station will mix the future stars with the successful golden songs to form an old-new-old broadcast mode, thus guiding the audience to listen more involuntarily, and finally achieving a sense of familiarity, then the new golden songs will become the old golden songs.

There are many core ideas in this book, which is worth taking some time to read and understand. Most importantly, to believe that you can change, will is the most important element. And I just started to use the method of this book to create a reward of "sense of accomplishment" by writing book reviews and promote the habit of reading and writing more. [Laughter]

The power of habit (Chapter 8) After reading the power of habit 1000 words:

February is the time when I just returned to work, and it is also the time to sum up the past and plan the future. During this time, I read the book The Power of Habit. I was late for work last year and gained a lot of weight. These are all manifestations of lack of self-control, so Gong Gothe recommended me to read this book, hoping to improve my self-control.

Habit can make or break a person. This book summarizes the good habits of successful people into six points, namely, the habit of planning, the habit of active action, the habit of self-management, the habit of excellent thinking, the habit of continuous learning and the habit of cooperating with others. Combining with myself, what I feel most is the habit of managing myself and planning.

Self-management is a very challenging thing, but the more self-discipline, the more freedom, so if you want to strengthen the habit of self-management, you need to strengthen self-control, and the most important thing is to increase willpower. The most important thing to improve willpower is self-awareness ability.

When we have a long-term goal to achieve, how to achieve it is actually a systematic project. There will be many boring times, and our sensibility likes to do interesting things without thinking. At this time, people who have no self-control will follow their feelings, so they will rush back and forth on the way to their goals, making it difficult to reach their destinations. And those who lack self-control, that is, those who follow their feelings, can't clearly realize themselves when they take detours. Therefore, an effective understanding of oneself is an important prerequisite for improving self-control.

When the premise has not been realized or is still in the process of transformation, you can improve your management ability through habits. It is mentioned in the book that in daily life, about 40% of behaviors are like this. Wipe your face with a towel after washing your face, eat after breakfast, sleep at a fixed time, and take the same route to work or school. These behaviors happen naturally, so we don't need to think twice and make decisions, thus saving us a lot of time.

And if these fixed behaviors can cultivate more good habits, we can save all the tangled time needed to do one thing and use it to deal with more complicated, difficult or urgent things, and become more efficient and calm. This is the secret of making yourself better, starting with cultivating habits.

People with strong self-control will spend more time developing effective habits than saving themselves after death, which means that habits are people's need for self-control. After reading, for example, after drinking tea, you habitually clean the cup and put the used things back, which makes you develop such a small habit. You don't need to use self-control at all. Developing excellent personal habits requires self-control. Once the habit is formed, we can accomplish what we want easily and effortlessly.

If you want to change your habits, you must first start from life. Combining with myself, I expect to start from the following aspects: healthier diet, regular exercise, wise savings and consumption, proper relaxation and enjoyment, and simplified cleaning and tidying. At the same time, I believe that these good habits in life will also improve work efficiency.
