Almanack /‘ɔːlmənæk/

​ 年鉴,Yearbook,可能由于查理芒格的Poor Richard’s Almanack(穷查理宝典)被广泛翻译成宝典

这本书最开始来自豆瓣友邻的分享,从起初的不以为意到看过一些后的深以为然。初略的对作者有了解,但并不是重点,无论他是谁,重要的还是书内容本身。看完后,想写一些自己在阅读过程中有共鸣的点,结合一些此前看过的书籍,综合列出一个框架,关于一切的框架。

关于读书

最广为人知的世界秘密,所有伟人传记中或多或少都会提到:从小开始就喜欢读书。

  • “As long as I have a book in my hand, I don’t feel like I’m wasting time.” —Charlie Munger

Mental Models 心智模型的建立

  • What are the most efficient ways to build new mental models? Read a lot—just read. Reading science, math, and philosophy one hour per day will likely put you at the upper echelon of human success within seven years.

和这个星球上每一个时代的顶点对话

阅读经典,原典,而不是后世的总结

  • Another way to do this is to read originals and read classics. If you’re interested in evolution, read Charles Darwin. Don’t begin with Richard Dawkins (even though I think he’s great). Read him later; read Darwin first
  • If you want to learn macroeconomics, first read Adam Smith, read von Mises, or read Hayek. Start with the original philosophers of the economy.

广泛的涉猎,去功利心的阅读

不一定要读完一整本书,读书的同时也要学会质疑里面的观点。

基础认知的搭建

科学思考模式

  • 可证伪性 Falsifiability

经济学

  • 微观经济学
    • Freakonomics
  • 博弈论

数学

  • 宇宙万物的底层设计语言

Mathematics is us reverse engineering the language of nature, and we have only scratched the surface.

物理学

  • 上帝掷骰子吗?

生物学

关于个人能力

If you’re a perpetual learning machine, you will never be out of options for how to make money. You can always see what’s coming up in society, what the value is, where the demand is, and you can learn to come up to speed

将自己作为一个品牌打造,创造自己的稀缺性,无法被他人取代,更别说被技术取代

不管是哪一行,都要做到行业顶级

关于财富的创造

非线性的财富增长

  • Antifragile
  • 一对多,睡觉时依然有收益
  • 互联网为媒介的传播媒体,文字,影像,声音
  • 代码

副业的重要性

身体健康和心里健康

World’s simplest diet: The more processed the food, the less one should consume.

保证睡眠质量

心理健康

美德 Virtue

  • 诚实,对自己诚实

    • Honesty is a core, core, core value. By honesty, I mean I want to be able to just be me. I never want to be in an environment or around people where I have to watch what I say. If I disconnect what I’m thinking from what I’m saying, it creates multiple threads in my mind. I’m no longer in the moment—now I have to be future-planning or past-regretting every time I talk to somebody. Anyone around whom I can’t be fully honest, I don’t want to be around.

  • 一心一意

  • Stoicism

    每天早上听一封信 The Tao of Seneca: Practical Letters from a Stoic Master

    Meditations 沉思录

如何变快乐

  • 认清死亡的意义,以及生命的短暂

Basically, in physics, the arrow of time comes from entropy. The second law of thermodynamics states entropy only goes up, which means disorder in the Universe only goes up, which means concentrated free energy only goes down. If you look at living things (humans, plants, civilizations, what have you) these systems are locally reversing entropy. Humans locally reverse entropy because we have action.

  • 活出生命的意义 Men’s Searching for Meanings

    ​ 从事一份创造性工作

    ​ 爱一个人

    ​ 征服一场苦难

  • 在终将热寂的宇宙中创造秩序,对创造和输出的思考

What we do as living systems accelerates getting to that state. The more complex system you create, whether it’s through computers, civilization, art, mathematics, or creating a family—you actually accelerate the heat death of the Universe. You’re pushing us towards this point where we end up as one thing.

  • 写作

  • 与快乐的人为伍

    choose the right five chimps.

  • 内心平静,冥想的定义和重要性

    • peace and happiness are skills.

    • 内心平静是可以通过锻炼习得的技能,锻炼方式是冥想

      世界冥想日,开始听Netflix的headspace冥想指南,叙述者大学退学当了多年的和尚,提到一个观点,就是冥想训练和其他肌肉训练一样,持续练习可以让大脑中负责冥想的部位变得更强大,意味着人可以更好的控制自己的心绪,更容易获得满足和快乐。这种能力是可以习得的。

  • 冥想的多样性,和社会隔绝,直面内心,即时冥想

Meditation is turning off society and listening to yourself. It only “works” when done for its own sake. Hiking is walking meditation. Journaling is writing meditation. Praying is gratitude meditation. Showering is accidental meditation. Sitting quietly is direct meditation.

No exceptions—all screen activities linked to less happiness, all non-screen activities linked to more happiness

  • 少看屏幕

  • 多晒太阳,多锻炼

  • 与过去的自己和解

关于习惯的养成

Atomic Habits

一个人就是他所有习惯的集合

When we’re older, we’re a collection of thousands of habits constantly running subconsciously. We have a little bit of extra brainpower in our neocortex for solving new problems. You become your habits


希望以这本书为契机,创建一个不断更新,不断扩充的人生指南。
