Finding Your Dao
找到你的道
As we discuss in the book, linear book narratives have a significant disadvantage of forcing every reader down a single learning path. While the online version avoids this through the extensive use of hyperlinks, those who hold a physical copy will find this more challenging to navigate. To partially alleviate this problem, we have structured the text in a "circular" manner, where readers can start at a variety of points, read from there and circle back to the "earlier" material at the end.
正如本书所述，线性的书籍叙事方式有一个显著的缺点，那就是它迫使每位读者都走同一条学习路径。虽然在线版本通过大量使用超链接避免了这个问题，但拥有纸质版书籍的读者会发现这更难以浏览。为了部分缓解这个问题，我们以“循环”的方式构建了文本，读者可以从多个点开始阅读，然后在最后回到“前面”的内容。
We recommend in particular that:
我们特别建议：
Those with a primarily topical, political or current affairs interest begin at the beginning of the book, with the preface and read straight through.
那些主要关注主题、政治或时事的人，可以从本书的开头，即前言开始，然后一直读下去。
Those with a more conceptual, theoretical or broadly intellectual interest consider skipping Parts 1 and 2 and beginning in Part 3.
那些更关注概念性、理论性或广泛的智识性问题的人，可以考虑跳过第一部分和第二部分，从第三部分开始。
Those with a more technical, technological or engineering focus consider beginning with Part 4.
那些更关注技术性、科技性或工程性问题的人，可以考虑从第四部分开始。
Those with an interest in concrete technologies and their applications consider beginning with Part 5.
那些对具体技术及其应用感兴趣的人，可以考虑从第五部分开始。
Those with an interest in real-world impact in specific social sectors consider beginning with Part 6.
那些对特定社会领域实际影响感兴趣的人，可以考虑从第六部分开始。
Those with a focus on public policy, government and social mobilization consider beginning with Part 7.
那些关注公共政策、政府和社会动员的人，可以考虑从第七部分开始。
Regardless of starting point, we expect most readers who find value wherever they begin will find it worthwhile to continue reading, looping back and filling in the theoretical frameworks of "later" parts of the book with the material that comes earlier.
无论从哪里开始，我们都期望大多数读者在找到有价值的内容后，都会觉得继续阅读、循环往复，并用前面部分的内容补充“后面”部分的理论框架是值得的。
