  • Balancing theory and practice is a difficult task. In fact, it's probably the most difficult thing in the self help industry. You pick up a personal development book, you read it, but you never apply it. Or you just act, act and act without ever learning about theoretical concepts. It is easy to lean heavily on the theory side or on the practice side and neglecting the other part completely, but only if you implement and apply what you learned, will you really be able to reap the benefits and become successful. In this video, we discuss a simple yet effective approach to combining theory and practice.

    I feel this video, I want to get better at art. I keep telling myself I will. I keep watching videos, I keep gathering references, but I hardly draw. I’m too busy learning, but not practicing or doing. This video kind of untangles the web of overthinking my process of tackling this goal and simplifies it greatly.

      Happy to hear that! Hope you'll get to practicing your art!

    This is something I struggle myself. When I first discovered self-improvement I started reading every book I could find and not implementing anything. Later I got discouraged that I was reading so much and doing so little so I stopped reading for a whole year. Now I am starting to read again but the balance between reading and doing is very hard to establish. Great points!

    Thank you so much for this helpful video. You knocked out all the confusions I had with with applying the knowledge I get from reading. From today I start my journey of applying the knowledge I gained since the past 9 to 10 months of reading. Thank you for this simple idea , I subscribed to your channel.

    Found you over on OnePercentBetter.
    *I 100% agree with this video, and I think you and I are pretty similar.*
    I am more on the theory side because hello, that is why I started a RUclips channel, and the information I share with everyone is what I have learned from those books.
    However, even though I enjoy the theory the most, I find that I feel lazy, and I feel like I am wasting my knowledge if I do not put that information into practice.

    Interesting. Thank you for spreading your thoughts and suggestions. I was also kind of theortical person before but now i have transformed myself into practical person but still it lacks at some points. Now I'll try to implement and balance both. Thank you again :)

    I spend my day dreaming and planning. but when it gets to the working and applying what I learn I just think oh I need to read and learn more. then I keep drowning in the process. I have deep feelings I know a lot and I can achieve a lot.. not sure how to move on from that spot to DO spot. thank you for the great content. 1st time here.

    Hey bro, i tried too many thing to improve selfhelp books. Your video really helped me to think about taking break and applying things i learned. Thank you for sharing your knowledge.

    Can you make videos on selfhelp, like to improve your personal life, attracting same people that suit your life's goal, staying positive, etc..

      In High School and College.
      The basic rules of scheduling
      are used by students until they
      get out of school.
      Then life becomes hectic because
      it is harder to stick to your
      schedule than a prescribed schedule.
      In school someone tells you what to
      do. As an adult you make your
      schedule and YOU have the choice
      to do your schedule or " I don't feel like"
      tries to take over your life.
      Apply to the need to do first.
      and want to do after needs are taken
      care of.

      Lmao if you're in the middle, if you lean neither to heavily on theory nor on practice then you're ahead of many. As for changing ones life around that's a little difficult without any context of your life

  • @lukaschumchal7797
    @lukaschumchal7797 2 года назад

    In my opinion your mental struggle can be easilly solved. What about actually think a reason, why are you reading this ? If you have reason for reading the aplication then result from it.
    Honestly if you reading for example book about jellyfish and you are not a biologist specialized on ocean life it will be almost imposible to use the information (if you are not a chef whose looking for ways how to make jellyfish salad.).
    Last but not least may i ask you where are you from? Your accent is very interesting. :)

  • @DevonR564
    @DevonR564 3 месяца назад +2

    A formula I remind myself of to avoid being either to theory orientated or to practice orientated is Intention + Knowledge + Action = Result. I find that reminding myself of this formula reminds me not just to learn but to put the knowledge into practice. This is the real law of attraction.

    Oh finally! I'm 15 and I've been reading some books lately but I haven't been applying it. I have this thought that if I read and I don't apply, I'll be the same as a person who started reading in his 20's. So, thank you for this video. Got any book recommendations for teens?

      @PersonalPower  3 года назад

      I started reading at a similar age and I found tim ferris quite good. also ryan holidays books are an excellent foundation (the obstacle is the way, ego is the enemy) are quite good to start that journey or something like "turning pro" or "the artists journey". I also have a list of books linked in the video description somewhere.
