Meaningful Reading in the Knowledge Age
I recently faced the need to start rereading part of my library, books that I enjoyed very much even from my youth, where it seems that they were always written anew because rereading them reveals something that I had not seen or understood. Two phenomena occur here, one that we read to a dead letter or that our inner state changes over the years and we understand through lived experience, which is the mother of instruction, generating reading with a new meaning.
How much time do you spend reading?
We have realized that, in addition, the retention and reading capacity of our social and cultural environment has also decreased and, therefore, the demands on the ecosystem that surrounds it as well, thus creating a vicious circle of people navigating in a sea of information but 1 meter deep. This being the case, we are rather “predators” of information that we cannot filter to see if we are seeing something real or fake, and this is because since we do not have references of who or who is more or less expert and less wise, we remain with which it “sounds” the most. This is how a series of characters spring up who think about everything just for having a bigger showcase on this or that social network, it is part of our reality increased by the pandemic.

Reading activates our mind!
The ability to read properly is essential to discriminate and make decisions. Thus, the challenge is to resume reading for joy and breadth of knowledge. It was then that under the aegis of a mental coach, a sophisticated but incredibly real qualification, I began to look for ways to improve my data and technique incorporation time.
In this process I discover that the last time I learned to read was around 5 years old, with the same methodology that my parents and grandparents learned, and now my children. It is strong to note that the way of teaching does not change and the need today is very different. We read dozens of emails, news, reports, posts, memes, etc. only in a social environment, add to that, those who study a series of books and papers, and if there is time left something personal….. we are as they say in the ERA OF KNOWLEDGE, leaving behind the era of the industrial world. Understanding that it is called knowledge for the innovation processes that are recycled over and over again, generating progress. Although this is not new, it was mentioned by management philosopher Peter Drucker in 1969.
An upgrade is urgent, don't you think? Retomar la Lectura con sentido.
En esta era ahora digital hablando de terabytes de información circulando y generándose todos los días seguimos leyendo como hace decenas de años atrás. Urge un upgrade no les parece?
Pues bien, otra cosa muy relevante que aprendí de mi coach es que todos los líderes vigentes y pasados han sido grandes lectores y no sólo de temas referidos a sus gustos directos, sino de un alto tema de materias globales que les permiten siempre tener una visión adelantada de los hechos.
Debemos retomar la lectura sabia, y mejorar la metodología , mejorando rendimientos y comprensión activando así aspectos cognitivos que se están haciendo invisibles para las nuevas generaciones.
Rescatemos la lectura!!
Sabían uds que puede aumentar y disfrutar de adquirir conocimientos maravillosos mejorando el entrenamiento mental en muy poco tiempo pero haciendo que su hábito se alinee con lo que su cerebro desea recibir. Es real y válido, pero debe haber una motivación de cambio.
La mía fue la necesidad de releer temas de mi gusto y profesionalmente porque recibo múltiples informes de diversas empresas que debo retener y procesar, pero también porque es importante saber DISCRIMINAR, tal como decía el sabio Krishnamurti, padre de la teosofía, el primer paso siempre será discriminar para obtener verdadera y real sabiduría.
Rescatemos la lectura!! Sólo cosas buenas surgen de una sociedad correctamente informada.
