Yang Xiaoyan: I think you really choose a lot of books that Zhan Lu goes through, bringing the essence into your "Thinking as a habit".

You have worked in the publishing industry for more than 20 years, and have dialogue so many great minds. What do you think are common?

Han Yan: Actually, they have a lot of commonality. I pick a few of them. First, these successful people have the ability to replenish their psychological energy, that is, they are particularly affairs.

In the early years, I have published "Permanent and Strange Jie" written by leadership master Walon Benneus. It is said that the successful people he sees will almost not always go smoothly, and they will suffer major changes in life, or at work at work. In encountering setbacks, they can all smoothly convert it into a furnace moment.

I think these successful people have the strong ability to supplement their psychological energy at any time, so I have written the problem of psychological energy in the fourth part of my book. Positive emotions must be good, but the negative emotions are used well. It is the same. Can give you huge power.

In addition, all successful people have a long -term reading ability. Their eyes can pass through, present, and future. The long -change scorched angle similar to the telescope can help you see a kind of constant thing in a complex and uncertain society.

I especially like a book "Flying around the big hair ball" I have published. The author was the owner of a very famous greeting card company in the United States.

He believes that no matter how the times change, he must see a little bit of stubbornness, just like finding a big hair ball for himself in the universe -this is both a point, but it is not so pure, clean and simple, but it is Unclear and furry, after anchoring this point, it will start its own imagination and action around it. This constant thing gives you a sense of stability, so that you will not be at a loss in the change. I like this image very much, it is suitable for the current era.

Successful people are also cross -border and cross -domain talents. They are not limited to a field, but have a certain understanding of many fields, which makes their thinking very broad and can find some very delicate but critical links between seemingly irrelevant things. Thus to achieve their career. The book "The Birth of Great Creative" tells many such stories in the book.

Yang Xiaoyan: Zhanlu has published a lot of books about psychological energy. I have read a lot of books by myself, such as Martin Seligman, Philip Zimbardo and others. I also summarized the three characteristics of outstanding entrepreneurs: the first is the vigorous energy, only to sleep for a short time; the second is the toughness, always relying on a positive and optimistic attitude; third Essence The summary of our two is actually quite similar.

You asked a good question in your book: how can we help us take the best time and get the best output and results? There are two options, one is time management, and the other is time management. Which one is the correct answer?

Han Yan: It should be time management. Time management is how to use the 24 hours a day well, but everyone's skills are different, and the timing management is Gazo with three factors.

The first is to understand your time type. For example, the bird -like people get up early and sleep early, and the owl -type people sleep late. The other is between the two, and scientists call it the third bird.

Second, you have to know what your best time is. Everyone has a peak, trough and rebound every day. The bird -shaped person was a peak in the morning, reaching the trough at 3 or four in the afternoon, and rebounded again at six or seven pm.

Third, to clarify the type of task. Paracelle -shaped people best arrange some things that require a lot of energy and logic during the peak and rebound period, such as analyzing, writing articles, etc., and doing some creative things during the trough. The programmers are more cat -eagle -shaped, and they may have to put the writing program until the afternoon, which is his peak.

Do time management is to understand your own time type, and then match your best time and task type, so that you will have a personalized and optimal time management solution for your time.

Yang Xiaoyan: I might be an eagle -shaped. The more I was at night, the more I got up early. My next question is related to women.

Peter Drucker said: The transformation of the times is in line with the characteristics of women. As a successful woman, what do you think of women in the workplace in this era? How do women better play their own advantages to enhance the competitiveness of the workplace? The reason why I asked is because I have observed a very interesting phenomenon in recent years: the students in business schools, especially the EMBA and MBA projects I worked, must be male -based, but in recent years, female students have occupied by female students in recent years The proportion is constantly increasing. Last year, the proportion of men and women in our MBA project was 1: 1.

This shows that more and more women are entering the workplace and become managers. As a successful female manager, your experience is of great significance to them, so I especially want to ask you to share it.

Han Yan: I have made a lot of books on brain science and neuroscience. I think this problem may be a little corrected from a scientific perspective.

Scientifically speaking, the gender advantage of each person's display is actually not completely consistent with our physiological gender, but mainly depends on the characteristics of our brain. The brain can be divided into women's brains and male brains according to the characteristics. If you want to know what advantages you have in the workplace, you must not only look at your own physiological characteristics, but also to read the book of brain science, and see if you are a female or a male brain.

Zhan Lu has published the book "Women's Brain", and also published a "Boy Girl Study". It is said that what is a female brain and what is a male brain can help everyone understand the children of themselves and around them.

A total of 80 brain areas of human brains, and women's brains have 70 brain areas. Most women have women's brains.

The frontal leaf of the female brain is greater, making people better to capture each other's language signals when communicating, and better understanding non -language signals such as the opponent's facial expressions, limb language, and other non -language signals.

The edge system of the female brain is also larger, so that you can more interpret the emotions of others and also control your emotions. The hippocampus of women's brains is also greater than men, so women's memory is generally better than men.

There is also a particularly active front buckle of women's brains, which can make people more passionate, more careful, and be good at discovering some smaller changes.

The most important thing is that the bodies of women's brains are greater. The body is a passage connecting the left and right brains. People with larger bodies, the efficiency of the left and right brain information exchange is also better. They are better at integrating information received by the left brain and the right brain, and then quickly make more wise decisions.

Overall, women's brains are good at joy, intuition, better cooperation, stronger self -control, and moderate anxiety and concerns. It's easier to succeed. Therefore, women have an advantage in the work that specially needs sensibility and rationality to do a good job.

I think that in many jobs, women can still play a huge advantage, because the characteristics of women's brains can make these companies and work leap -in.

I think women must better understand their brain advantages, learn more about brain science and neuroscience, so that they will not be affected by everyone's stereotypes or judges.

In the past, the work of physical strength was high, so men have more advantages, but the development of technology has attracted physical differences. Therefore, the fine work that needs to play an advantage at the cognitive level is more. From this level, the future can actually be said to be the age of women.

Yang Xiaoyan: Indeed, in the Internet era, the future is "her economy", so our Yangtze River MBA project set up a "female leadership scholarship" last year, hoping to attract more and more women to study in the Yangtze River, because the future world belongs to our. Next is a question we ask each issue: what does it mean for you to read?

Han Yan: Reading is like breathing, and it has always existed. The most important thing for reading is to make me a evolutionary lifelong learner. At the same time, I also created the learning -oriented organization of Zhanlu. The services and products we provided have changed many people. Every time I hear others say that they grew up in Zhanlu's book, I have a sense of accomplishment. I feel that what I do is to ignite the fire in the hearts of others.

The reason why I founded Zhanlu was because the last set of books I did in Huazhang was dozens of books from Drucker. Every time I plan with Drucker's book with the expert team, I think he is a call for my life. It makes me feel that my mission is to put the best knowledge in the world and this universal wisdom. Bring to Chinese readers.

When I first established Zhanlu, I encountered the father of mythology Joseph Campbell, and met his "The Power of Myth" and "Heroes of the Thousand Faces". This allows me to know that there is a model of doing anything, that is, the "hero of the hero". To go through some stage of experience, this makes me strong when I was very young in Zhanlu, and I was pregnant with a grand change goal- - The greatest mind of the dialogue and evolved with the smartest person.

This shaped my meaning of life and the meaning of Zhanlu. More importantly, we pass these meanings to everyone who reads Zhanlu.

My habit of reading and thinking has also influenced my two children. On the one hand, they followed me to read, and on the other hand, they came into contact with the authors behind these books. Before the epidemic, I will take my children to the United States and Europe to visit the authors published by me, such as the Zimbardo I just mentioned, and the author of the book "Garden Ding and Carpenter", Elison Gauoponic, she It is the study and research of international children. The children think that the author behind each book is a living person, everyone is very distinctive, and reading is a natural thing like breathing.

Every book made by Zhanlu is what we think of practical value for Chinese companies. For example, in the "Index Tower", all unicorn companies with index type development have 11 attributes. They also talked about how to obtain the index dealer of this organization through measurement of these 11 attributes.

Inamori's book is also the earliest Zhanlu. He said that you must always ensure that you have enough cash flow, so Zhanlu has always ensured that there is sufficient cash flow to ensure that we have enough to pay various operating costs. Recently, I heard a large number of companies during the epidemic had only a month of cash flow, which was quite shocked.

Therefore, reading can not only allow you to achieve sustainable development, but also life -saving when unpredictable things are coming.

Yang Xiaoyan: The book you introduced and published accompanied us to the entire generation of business school students, managers and entrepreneurs, so your contribution is really great. In the end, can you recommend three books that have the deepest influence on you in the near future?

Han Yan: The first book I recommend is "Invention: James Dyson's Creation Tour". The author is the founder and chief engineer of Dyson James Dyson. This is his new book and published this year.

This book shows how a person who has been deeply affected by technology starts his business journey. Let us learn to think and treat the business world like a inventor, bringing us some deep insights.

At the moment of the technology explosion, many people are inseparable from rapid development technology when they start their own business imagination, so the inspiration of this book will be great.

Another book is "How to ask a good question", and a new book "How to solve the question with questions" that is connected with it. Both books have been rated as the BUSINESS Insider Best Business Book, and it is also a must -read for creative leaders recommended by the president of the well -known design company's IDEO.

The most important thing is to give you a structure and tell you how to ask for a good question through three steps, so that others can give you a solution you want.

The third book is our recent "Human Goodwill". Dutch historian Rutgel Blagman has combined knowledge in psychology, brain science, neuroscience, sociology, and even business in this book. kind.

It not only tells us of the knowledge in many fields, but also tells a lot of interesting stories. Finally, we also have some principles that can help us survive in this world.

Yang Xiaoyan: It is particularly appropriate to use this book to end our sharing today. Many people ask me why the Yangtze River MBA project is to do this bookkeeper to talk about activities. I agree with what Han Yan just talked about. Reading is as natural as breathing. More importantly, everyone often feels anxious, confused, and stressful. In fact, this channel is particularly needed to boost you inner energy.

Whether it is reading, bookkeeping, or books such as "Human Goodwill", it is like a doses of cooling agent, so that you understand that beauty and goodness are the foundation of the reason why we human beings can prosper and develop.
