Liliveria - definitely the place where you can find magical books that will improve and make your life happier (thank me later)
I've been feeling really guilty for reading fiction books because I'm a law student and everyone around me always say that I should spend my time with law books and fiction is a waste of time, etc.
So, this video makes me feel really happy. I love the phrase "read what you love until you love to read".
Thank you for the tips and for helping me reassure that I'm not wasting my time by doing something I love!
I am happy to hear about this also, I love reading fiction books .
I used to hate reading but I got into philosophy and now I can read anything without being bored.
I'm not sure if this is a praise or a roast to the community lol
Same I started reading Camus and reading has just been very pleasant ever since.
Agree. In addition to being able to understand completely abstract words of other people it just lifts you to 100 levels up in comprehension of any book.
might I ask what is your first book for Philosophy?
Would really appreciate any recommendations as well please.
I've just pre-ordered your book in the US. Thank you for all the value you provided us over the past few years, and I'm happy to support you as a thank you token.
Good luck, and I hope that you make the bestseller list!❤
My ADHD makes it super difficult to read books these days and if I do get around to it I have to read every sentence 3 times, but you (and Spotify including them in their plans lol) have motivated me to get into audiobooks recently and I’m smashing through them now so thank you!
Wait, you can literally listen to audiobooks? I can only listen when I focus on listening to audiobooks, otherwise it would be part of the background noise lol.
@@reincarnate3440 yeah I listen to loads of podcasts and so when I listen to audiobooks I can focus on them in a similar way, I have to be doing something menial at the same time though lol but there’s always chores to do!
It's truly magical how reading something u r intrinsically interested in makes reading as a whole better, so I can really resonate with the first quote that was brought up!!
I love this productive way by reading 100 books in 2024. Keep up Ali! 💐
Road to 5m!!!!
Super excited for you Ali, thank you for always giving us valuable content
Thank you so much for this awesome content! I've been struggling with reading for years, was stuck on books like chores and enjoyed some along the way.
Just bought your book, can't wait to read it ! Keep it going Ali, enjoy your life as a Digital Nomad, you're such an inspiration. 👍
1:23 thanks for being so thoughtful throughout your explanation!
Here are some additional tips 🤎
- Create a reading habit
- Set goals (even if it's just one page)
- Create a reading schedule
- Set a timer (to combat distraction)
- Turn off the internet on your phone
- Find the right environment
- Find out what is keeping you from reading more (and try to improve)
Huge fan of reading multiple books at the same time. :)
how do you remember what you read?
@@Werisetilldeath By going slow and reading deep (don't focus on reading as many books as possible, that's the wrong mindset). Re-read favourite books. Take notes 🤎
@@ProseAndPetticoatsthis is the way. Thank you
Don´t focus on reading too much, just enjoy the ride and get as much as you can from a snigle book. Who cares if you read only 12 books a year or so, as long as they are properly read and incorporated into your knowledge, it will be a win win
I have already bought Atomic Habits just started reading and excited to complete whole and read next more productivity books recommended by you.
Yes. It is time to enjoy newest video. Thank you Ali! 🧡✨
What a Presentation in 15 min!!! I'm excited to read your new book!
I wish you all the best!!!! You are one of my favourite and highly diligent and friendly youtuber!!
I like all of your videos so much, they are really inspirational to me, but I've genuinely loved this one! Thank you ❤
The Greatest man in productivity ❤❤
Thank you for always giving knowledge and good vibes for us ❤❤
Just bought book. Looking forward to session with Ali. Your videos have been very inspiring and useful for me in the past. Keep doing great work.
Reading only for 15 minutes before sleep is my personal favorite.❤
You have inspired me! I LOVE books, buy every recommendation but rarely make time to read. I tend to be a slower reader so I can get frustrated. I love audible but also love taking notes and highlighting my books! I am going to get your new book and am hoping to use it for my quarterly “book club” in my membership, BE. Confident Wealthy Empowered. Thank you! (Loving your videos too!)
the storygraph is another great way to gamify reading! 10/10, i like it much more than goodreads
Great stuff as always Ali!
Your videos always help me to be productive
Your book is the first Pre-order I did. and an excited to read it.
❤❤❤this...Thanks so much, Ali. Infact, my greatest joy is to look at the stack of unread books on my nightstand. 📚
Reading is something that I savour. Your tips will help even more.🤩
Until I was 16 (now 32), I didn't read any books because it was boring. A few years later, I tried to read one or two books a year but could not finish. Recently, I came across your channel, and it made a great impact on me, and I'm trying to build a habit that could help me to read more books. Thank you for your advice!
Yesterday I realized and thought about starting the reading again. Luckily I came across this videos thank you Ali
Thank you for sharing this video!
wow thanks ❤ you're one of my biggest inspiration to start a channel on RUclips 💕
Very informative video. Thanks Ali!
I preordered your book and can’t wait to read it
Great tips! Thank you 😊
Oh I’m excited to read Murtagh for continuing the Eragon dragon book series. This advice is spot on. You can have empty fun books along side the meaty books. Just have fun
Thanks, Ali. Loved this video.
this is the best thing for the new year...
It's ok to quit a book while reading, I needed this line, thank you Ali
The two tips I resonate the most with are;
Don't feel the need to finish a book and use audiobooks to 'get through' tougher reads.
I never would have read a brief history of time if i didn't listen to it as an audiobook. Im so glad that I did!. It was really fascinating but there are so many points where I just would not have pushed through. There is one part of the book about quarks or whatever they are called. You have upquarks and down quarks. I would not have been able to get through that section as a reader, but through listening it just gets said to you.
I think people feel a duty to finish a book as well because they think that is the best way to get all the value out of it. We don't apply that to RUclips videos as you say. So why we apply it to books ill never know.
Yea this what I'm trying rn. Like it's ok to read 70% of a book by skipping chapters i dont like or not my interest
I am using your channel to practice my english. A hug from Brazil
Morning Brew is the best!! Love it!
Bought on audible because you are one of my favourites RUclipsrs and I want to support you :)
Can you make a video on reading? Reading silently vs reading out loud vs reading without the mental tape repeating the words in your mind as you read etc. healthy habits around that.
That's brilliant. Thanks a lot.
A book I’m most excited to read rn: The Courage to be Disliked.
Only a quarter of the way through so far and I’ve gained so much insight!
I've always wondered why I have this rule where I have to finish a book before I start a new book and ended up grinding myself to finish it. Glad to know I am not the only one. Love these great action points here!! I now will give myself the permission to read books I do enjoy and take a pause on the books I stop enjoying.
Awesome. Thank you, Ali
I love this channel I learned so many things that change my life 👍😍💯🙏
Huge well done on hitting 5mill subscribers 😀👍
The book that I would love to re-read again, and that, if you can, I recommend a lot, is Anxious People by Fredrik Backman. An amazing fiction Book.
I'm reading Babel by R F Kuang and it's really helping me back into reading again!
12:16 agreed. Tracking my books in Goodreads has helped increase my reading.
Storygraph might be helpful too.
Great content! There is reading and then there is reading effectively. You shared really great tips on what may help some become more effective readers.
almost 5 million subs, good job bro
I am currently in love with reading because I started asking myself what movies and series I am usually watching. Then I started looking for and reading the same books and now I am an addict! I would suggest starting with something like romance or novels, and find those 2 genres in whatever way you like. For example crime novels.
I've never set a reading goal, but because I enjoy reading, I usually read over a hundred books a year, I tend to read about 30 minutes in the morning and 30 minutes in the evening and also read while I'm on the treadmill or stationary bike (makes the workout easier). Most of the books I read are via the Kindle app on my iPad. I do read some paper books and listen to books on Audible. There are seasons when I don't read as much, but it never lasts. Sometimes I'm more into fiction, at at other times, I'm find myself reading nonfiction. Fiction, of course, is easier unless (sometimes) it's serious literature. This year I'm closing in on 150 books for 2023. Thanks, Ali, for emphasizing the importance of reading on your channel.
It was so pleasantly, refreshingly surprising to hear you like reading paranormal, fantasy, romance. 🙂
Am waiting and counting down for this channel achieving 5M subscribers. ☺
The quitting books idea SO WORKS. I was rereading Brave New World by Aldous Huxley over the summer because I was assigned it in Grade 10 (I'm now a third year university student) and I never actually got around to finishing it, I just read chapter summaries and so I could get the paper I had to write on it over with and then had to return the book. The premise was always very cool so I bought the book because I got into reading this year for leisure after not having read a book since high school. It was my 5th book of the year and I just could not finish it because of how wordy it was. I was stuck on it for about 2 months then I finally decided I'd just take a break on it and get to this other book I really wanted to read and I finished the other book in about 2 weeks (that's fast considering my average time currently is about a month since it's still not a habit yet).
I've never liked reading as a hobby, but lately I've been feeling wanting to start reading books. Yesterday, December 15, my psychology professor, Wallis Back, gave me a book as a gift, Talk to Strangers by Matt Dahlia (one of the co-founder of Yes Theory), after giving her my answer sheet for my final exam. Today, I began reading the book to want to read. I've read about 10 page so far, but I'm liking I so far. Thank you for your awesome video! I always enjoy watching them!
Thank you! i´d love more videos about reading habits, or your favorite books (fiction and non-fiction) :)
Advance Congratulations to 5 M subscribers from Pakistan ❤
💯 Thanks for your service. Going to use it in my life.
lol, just instantly starting in the Video. Ali you are awesome...just jumping to the tips of the video.
Attomic Habbits, I want to read again and again.
Nice video, I'm trying to read at least 20 pages of a personal development book, now I'm reading the 4h workweek, I'm enjoying it, but it's dificult to take the reading's habit
Yes....reading books also makes you not feeling lonely, its like having a punch of friends around;;;but without making any noise either lol
I loooove your Harry Potter references popping up here and there.
Most exciting book for me- Days at the Morisaki Bookshop.
The first book that I will be reading in 2024 - Feel Good Productivity! :)
Feel good productivity, that’s what I’m excited to read 🤩
Oh mennnnn....quiting a book was the hardest one yet for me. Couldn't feel like I have really added another one to my tier without doing it cover to cover. But the 7 habits of highly effective people changed everything for me. It's the first one I decided to give up on (I'm so sorry Stephen). The vocabulary was just too intense and rigourous for me. Felt like I was ploughing through and not enjoying. So I just watched the summary and it helped. Another tip is not to be shy to repeat books that you feel really had a very large impact on your life. I like to call these the books that center you.
Current read. A really underrated book I found on gumroad of all places called Better You by a mysterious author named twelve ( he challenges anyone who was reading actively to decipher his name from the book-i think that's neat) anywho. I highly recommend yall enter 2024 with this little gem. It's like most of self help all in one but in an organised format and with a plan.
Lastly let's all be readers that respect what we read by acting upon it.
Thanks for sharing Ali
Peace.
I am never tired of reading Robert Adams' "Silence of the Heart" book, and I am always excited to delve into its wisdom. I truly enjoy exploring spiritual literature by great authors such as Eckhart Tolle, Adyashanti, Mooji, Sadhguru, and Anam Thubten and... However, "Silence of the Heart" holds a special place for me; it brings me genuine happiness. Blessings to the soul of whoever recommended it to me!
This video has helped me buy my first book and Ali it’s going to be your book 😂👍. You’re welcome!
Lovely confetti.
Feel good productivity is the book I’m most excited for
I am exited to read Feel Good Productivity 🎉
I love the concept of having multiple books on the go at once.
I saw a post a few days ago about having a Meal book and a Snack book on the go at all times.
Meal book: Meaty book that deep dives into an area you really want to learn more about. You need to carve out time for these types of books as they need a lot of attention.
Snack book: Something just to pass the time. Usually a fiction book, that you can just pick up and read at any random point throughout the day, without needing to pay too much attention.
In my 2024 book list my top most priority is to read ali abdaal's feel good productivity ❤ waiting for it😊
Thank you for sharing your thoughts! Now I know why I get stuck reading books! =)
My trick is using my insomnia. Reading helps to put my mind at ease and actually helps me get an hour or two more than I would trying to sleep on my own. I FLY through books at night since there's very little distraction. During the day, I'm constantly picking it up and putting it down, so it's easier to knock out huge chunks at night. I use library books too since there's a "deadline" (I don't stress myself out about it though).
I started reading in July and have 18 books read so far this year. It was a slow start since I was only buying one or two books a month. Since going to the library, I've averaged about 3 books every 2 weeks or so.
I use Thrift. Books or Discover - used books. I still can’t put a novel down. Endings are often surprising and I’ve been rewarded many times. Just read Demon Copperhead. Amazing! I read a more literary book alternate with a lighter read. I’m a slow reader but read about 30 books a year. No stress it’s my time to relax and enjoy myself! Thx Ali. You’re amazing. & I’m a morning brew fan
Can't wait to get to Of Blood and Fire by Ryan Cahill! Since you love Sanderson you need to give Ryan Cahill a shot. His writing style is awesome! Also, the Sun Eater saga by Christopher Ruocchio is fantastic! Great video as usual!
Now loving reading on ipad mini. Can use the apple pencil to highlight and then the kindle app I can reread my highlights only. Find that I am reading a lot faster on it too than the physical book...not sure if it is because I am not overwhelmed with the entire book in my hands and thinking "oh my so much more to go", consistently of lighting, easier to read font, or the gamification aspect of wanting to swipe vs page turn. of course there is also convenience factor of so many books in small form factor too.
Awesome stuff
One book that you’ll really fall in love is “The Alchemist” by Paulo Coelho. I genuinely recommend this book. 📚
Agreed! Just re-read it for the 3rd time
feel good productivity!!
Please make a video on an exercise routine
Great vid! Just want to share that if you want to read more but don't want it to become an expensive habit, get your books second hand - charity shops have a great selection and they're usually super cheap plus you're supporting a good cause. World of Books is also a great place to get second hand books in good condition and keep them in use :)
The best book for Christmas & New Year is:
Dr Zhyvago by Boris Pasternak and movie Dr Zhyvago by brilliant British director David Lean.
I repeat the process every year during Christmas time and I am never bored😊 🎄Of course that is subjective opinion 😊
The one book I'm always excited to read is the Millionaire Fastlane. They're so many great nuggets of wisdom in there.
Thank you for this video! Also I want to ask something. What should I do when I stop reading some book for a while and then I want to start reading it again? Should I start the book from the beginning or should I start where I left?
The book that I will love to read is " Money psychology "
Heey! What's your habit tracker? Looks great!
Hi Ali ! I like your news letters. But with so much information exchange on multiple platforms and busy schedule I don't get the time to go through them all. So, Can you also guide on how to manage going through them and on how keep your mails organised to increase productivity
Thanks for your work!
I always watch every video I start.
2:45 I gave up reading the millionaire mindset last year and then I picked it up a few months ago and actually finished it. I definitely find this method helpful. Start a book. Don't finish it. And then pick it up again or never. It's fine.
Am I the only one who wishes to know a list of all the books Ali has read? Or at least, most of them. It would feel like I would go through the same learning journey.
Ali and team I don’t know if you see this, but I’d LOVE to see a list of, I don’t know, 100 books Ali has read. Pre-ordered the book btw! ❤
he's made several videos going through books he's read.
I think you can find his account on GoodReads?
He made several videos, also has a Goodreads profile.
