I read 2022 books in 29, you might as well make a reading list for yourself in 2023

2022 is about to pass, and I recently started to sort out and summarize my past this year. I stayed quietly in the room alone and sorted out my past. I really enjoy this feeling.

Over the past year, I have read a total of 29 books.These books include philosophy, psychology, essays, various novels, biographies of famous people, etc.These books have given me great guidance and encouragement in terms of spirit and action, allowing me to have dialogues and exchanges with masters from all over the world.

Reading can heal your irritability, calm down, and rethink your life.Reading can improve your cognition, update your three views, and let you continue to have new pursuits in life.Reading can affect your actions, and even make you make a great decision, which will make you reborn from Nirvana and complete your transformation.

I want to summarize and summarize the books I have read this year and share them with you.If you have some time in the new 2023 and want to break through the current comfort zone and many confusions today, you might as well calm down and read these books.

Philosophy and psychology.

I started preparing for the psychological counselor exam at the end of 2020, and then in March 2021, I got the certificate of psychological counselor student certification from the Institute of Psychology, Chinese Academy of Sciences.It is also during the whole learning process that I came into contact with many works and masters in psychology.I just learned about Freud, Jung and others.

The teacher who taught the class recommended Freud's famous book "The Interpretation of Dreams", and then I finished reading this book from WeChat reading in the time of commuting and taking the subway every day. It is not enough to read a good book once Yes, I bought the paper version of the book at the beginning of this year, the electronic version and the paper version, and read this book twice.

This book is very thick, and it contains the essence of the thoughts of the old Austrian man a hundred years ago.Freud believed that from a psychological point of view, every dream a person has has a source and can be traced back. This is actually what we call day and night dreams.However, summarizing this book in just one sentence seems particularly narrow, because from the analysis of a large number of cases in the book, the source of dreams is not limited to this, but also includes various factors such as sexual instinct.

The analysis of dreams in the first part of this book is dull and difficult to understand, but the large number of case analyzes in the latter part are extremely exciting.If you are also very interested in psychology, want to understand and learn psychology, and you have many psychological abnormalities such as dreams, anxiety, and suspicion, you may wish to use this book as your psychological enlightenment.But I suggest that you first read the electronic version from WeChat Reading to see if you are really interested and persevering enough to persist in reading this great book.Then if you are still interested and want to read this thick book thinly, and conduct in-depth research and analysis on psychology and dreams, you can buy the paper version from the Internet for a second brush.

Freud also has another book "Sex and the Psychology of Love". This book has a total of 12.7 words on WeChat Reading, and includes Freud's works such as "On Narcissism: Introduction", "Children's Sexual Morality" , "Civilized Sexual Morality and Psychosis of Modern People" and other three books.Freud was originally a doctor of neurology. He has a lot of medical clinical experience, and he regards "sex" as a core point in his psychological research.

Because I pay special attention to the fields of psychology and philosophy, I sometimes discuss these topics with like-minded friends on the Internet. My friend recommended a public account to me, saying that there are a large number of recommended works in this area, so I read from the above I learned the condensed version of six philosophical works, including Freud's "Soul and Body, There is Always One on the Way", Adler's "Getting Along with the World", and Jung's "The Shore is the Hope That Never Disappears" , Nietzsche's "Spell of My Heart", Rousseau's "Solitude, Is Inherent Happiness", and Schopenhauer's "Living the Meaning of Life".

Just by the titles of these six books, you can see how interesting these books are. These six old men who came from all over the world hundreds of years ago, from the perspectives of philosophy and psychology, explain to you their views on life. , For loneliness, for thinking about the meaning of life, they are all people who can drill into the soul of a person and find out.

Of course, these six books are more about the authors expounding and debating their own thoughts. Since they are all translated into Chinese from foreign languages, these books are more boring to read than novels or essays. If you want to read these six books, you Be prepared to walk with loneliness, because it is an inherent happiness.

When I was using the video account, I heard a philosophy professor in China say: What is life?In fact, Schopenhauer has already given a conclusion.Life is like a pendulum, swinging between boredom and pain every day, driven by desire.When you are closer to the desire in your heart and the desire is satisfied, you will feel bored.Then there are new desires and pursuits, and in the process of pursuit, you start suffering again, but when the desires are satisfied, the pain starts to disappear immediately, and you feel bored again.Decades of life is actually such a cyclical process.

After listening to this passage, I felt enlightened.Immediately, I became very interested in Schopenhauer, and began to look up Schopenhauer's materials and works from the Internet, and from WeChat reading, I read Schopenhauer's two famous works "The Wisdom of Life" and "The Positivity of a Pessimist". Thinking" I read it carefully, but I didn't think it was enough.Because every sentence in the book can resonate with me, while reading, I was thinking, Schopenhauer's writing is really good, every sentence is penetrating, it is really unique, and the summary is incisive and wonderful.

There is an appendix in "The Wisdom of Life", which collects the important "Schopenhauer's Quotations" in Schopenhauer's book. I think this is the core of this book, so I copied all the words of Schopenhauer's Quotations on my notebook.Later, I bought "Positive Thinking of a Pessimist", which is out of print, but you can buy reprints for tens of dollars on Taobao.

When you are confused, when you want to explore the meaning of life and life, when your soul has no place to rest, when you feel lonely and no one understands, when you don't want to be with the world, when you despise the world's gossip you can In the dead of night, take a serious look at the above 10 books involving philosophy or psychology.Maybe a certain sentence, a certain point of view, or a certain case in the book can touch your heart, make you suddenly enlightened, and find a new self from another perspective.
