DEEP WORK 2017
Favorite book
When I had a hobby of filtering for new releases on my favorite bookstore site and looking at new books, I was interested in this book that was new at the time. When I went to the bookstore after work and looked at it, I was a little disappointed because it was different from what I expected, so I put it down.
A few months later, I saw someone who seemed to be an office worker leaning against the subway door and reading this book. She was reading it without a book cover, so the title was easy to see. When I came across this book, many thoughts came to mind and I went back to the bookstore to look at it. I still thought it was a book that had nothing to do with me, so I put it down again.
Some time later, in the spring of 2019, I encountered this book again, which had been selected by a reading club. I bought it and started reading it without much expectation. But was it because time had passed? Or was it because I was ready to read it? I have read this book from beginning to end about 9 times so far. It has become the only book I have ever purchased in its original form, and it has firmly established itself in my small library.
Reading this book did not suddenly make me focus, but it did make me realize the importance of the immersive experience itself, and it became an opportunity for me to become personally interested in focus, so I even received memory training in 2020.
If someone asked me to name my favorite book, I would choose this one without hesitation.
