Could you stop appearing on my Feedback subscriptions every single time??? You make me suffer. I won’t unsubscribe I’m a masoquist. But yeah about your video. Social media is cancer and is going to make you feel bad. Reading a book is better. I’m just a little bit “demanding”. It’s hard for me to find a book that I like. And with my attention deficit I have to re-read the last 3 pages cuz I was just thinking about something completely different.
Believe me book are the best friends of a person. Once you are into reading, you can escape any anxiety amd any kind of stress. And writing after you read is like cherry on the cake, even writing down your daily goals, your day today life, and even your worries makes you feel lighter. As I say ," put all your worries on paper and then you'll be as light as an ink on paper." Thanks Ruri.

Not really. I mean your comment is polite nice and all but having read only Stephen King and Lovecraft (for those who may not know is horror/terror books) so it depends I guess.
Reading is not just enough". Take the action! Put your newfound knowledge to use. I read for a long time but Action made my life change in no time ( generally and mostly financially) That's my two cents on this
I struggle to follow through, especially financially. I earn quite enough but hardly have a saving. Rent, bills, debt, expenses take it all away. It almost feels like I leave paycheck to paycheck
Live below your means, Adjust your lifestyle, be frugal in spending don't buy unnecessary stuff, Budget your spending and your debts, Save, Invest it's a better way to grow wealth, get a financial expert to help you.
Bonus tip from a novice reader, if you have recently decided to make reading habit. Read something short or small book like a book size of Coraline by Neil Gaiman. And don't rush it, read a chapter every day or two or more if you can but don't rush to completion. There is no fun to read just to complete.

Not saying those tips aren't useful, because they certainly are for a lot of people, but also don't be afraid to ignore those tips that won't work for you. For example, I hate listening to audiobooks and do not even consider it proper reading, so #2 isn#t for me. Also, while I agree with #1, in general, I found that bedtime reading doesn't work for me either because I either get so tired that the book tends to fall on my head or I get so into it that I can't stop reading, when I probably would have needed the sleep instead. And lastly, reading several books at the same time can also, as in my case, lead to procrastination, because I sometimes spend more time trying to decide which book to read instead of just reading anything. This all said, the main reason I can't read 100 books a year is probably that I tend to read either Epic Fantasy or history science books, meaning it's several hundred pages of reading per book in general. So it's more like 30 to 50 books for me, which would be ok if not for the fact that it means I miss out on a lot of good stuff :)
Not that it's super secret knowledge, but the advice of "don't finish every book" is legit probably one of the most important things passionate readers gotta hear at some point.

My thing is audiobooks and I tend to listen at work. It's crazy but when I'm home, I'm less invested in it and tend to pay less attention. For audiobook listeners, not be afraid to use the speed up feature especially if it's from a... less enthusiastic narrator. I found it makes it more bearable. Also shaves a few hours for more books. 1.5 x speed seems the be the sweet spot but I've listened at 2x speed on some slower narrators.
The expense . . . In the US we have a fabulous library system. Folks, just borrow from the library and only purchase the ones you treasure. I've been doing this for years. It really makes all the difference in the world and keeps you from accumulating "stuff." After years of this, I own hundreds of books ... but only a fraction of what I have read. Also, if you own an ebook reader, most plug into your library rather easily. Kobo e-readers in particular make it nearly seamless.

One thing that's worked for me this year is reading a minimum number of pages per day and setting the bar low. This is particularly effective with language textbooks. I read two pages of a Japanese grammar book and ten words from a vocabulary book per day. I'm almost finished with the vocabulary textbook and am halfway with the grammar book. I don't think I could have done this if it weren't for this routine
@@sakatagintoki-5056 hello! I passed my N4 exam. Still a bit confused with particles though even if I've read the book 'all about particles' 😄 how are your studies going?
I am pleased to see that you read books in other languages (besides Japanese), and perhaps this too could be a tip for reading more books. Ever since I learned French, I have been able to access a whole new world of books, many of which simply aren't available in my native language, English.
Agreed. My first language is German, but I read about 50% of my books in english. It helps me not lose my knowledge in the language and even advance it and english books are so much cheaper in Germany then German ones.
I don't know why I never considered reading more than one book. I read comics regularly and switch through them but I never thought to apply that to books. Very great tips.
I'm reading "Before The Coffee Gets Cold". ☕I like how the author expresses the characters' emotion. At the same time, I would like to read a book that is about productivity.📖
100 books is too much. How are you supposed to absorb what your reading if you’re finishing 2+ books every week. Find a book you like, take your time with it, and absorb it fully. It will be much more relaxing and rewarding, trust me.
Thank you so much for this video! While I will not be reading more than one book at a time because my ADHD brain would lose interest in every book I'm reading, I'm influenced to read more audio books to reach my future reading goals. You've earned a new subscriber!
i love those tips!! especially tip 3, I never thought about it, I'm gonna give it a try, thank u! 💓 my goal for this year is 15 books, last year I started reading again after idk maybe 3 years, 15 is not that many, but better than 0!!!
The amount of books you read may be irrelevant if those books are useless. The question is not the quantity of books, but the correct books, and the quality of reading, that will bring you growth.
Indeed! What deterred me from reading books on many things tbat are interesting for me was a realization that i have no ways in my current life to implement and use this information and i know from my own experience that information that is not being used will be forgotten soon. Sad but true.
@@ruriohama are we talking about reading 100 books a year and also memorizing and understanding all of them pages and can answer question moral of the story about it?
As if people only read to learn 🙄. I'm sick of hearing that everything we do has to have some sort of profit. Like pretend to be productive all the time.
Yo Ruri, wish you well 🧘♂️ You should post your books, I could always do some non fiction. The last book I read was The Alchemist Perfect story about persistence! as someone learning to walk again. After being hit by a car I really like your videos! I discovered you like a week ago. ✌🏼❤️
I just finished reading The White Pill by Michael Malice. I highly recommend that everyone check it out. It's a somewhat dense history book but it reads quite easily due to the author's narrative writing style.
Yes. I recommend reading a lot in the same kind of genre (fiction) or the same kind of topic (non-fiction), so that you can build a web of information as a reference point.
As always, you have touched on a very useful subject, unfortunately, in our time, people are trying to get all the information from their mobile phone or computer, and the rate of reading books is decreasing day by day. Thanks for your advice Ruri
I found the easiest for me to read was to use kindle on my phone during commutes to work. Best way to fully maximize time that would otherwise be wasted being on transit.
One year when I was in the middle of a massive depressive cycle that was spanning years, I started reading books that made me laugh exclusively. By the end of that year, I was feeling better than I had for most of my life and I read around 100 books. I didn't read more than that because I didn't have enough money for more.
I've discovered audiobooks lately and I was able to finish at least three books, one of which was a novel, I've wanted to read for a long time. Audiobooks are great!
Nice video again. Thank you so much, Ruri! You're so inspiring and supportive on my language learning and self-improvement journey! Best wishes for 2023 and greetings from your biggest German fan!
You were saying that focusing on the number of books you read is not the point literally 2 months ago. What's your point? From the outside it feels like you change your take depending on the last self help book you've read

I would like to ask: 1: (This may be straightforward) How does one do the 1st step when they use their phone as an alarm clock? 2. How does one read multiple books but somehow remembers the contents of said books? Otherwise thank you for your helpful video
1- you can buy alarm clock to replace it. It doesn’t have to be expensive 2- you need to do output to retain information. You can check out my how i never forget what I read video :)
I'm one of those impulsive book buyers. You know, people who buy books because they like the title or they think the cover is cute or simply because they like buying books for no reason. And then i leave them to ferment on the bookshelf for a whole year or i just forget about it completely 😂
You are always interesting there is something so comforting and reassuring about your voice very intelligent video i really need to get back into reading
Thank you so so so Ruri for giving this reading tips because I love to read books so so so much and I love your videos so so much and I wish you reach 700K Subscribers very very soon!💫💞☺️
The intro hooked me because I experience the same! I used to read a lot as a kid until I got a smartphone in college. Dunno if I can read 100 books this year, but definitely set a goal to read at least 25. Thanks for the tips, especially #4! I tried to finish 2 books in January but I just couldn't get through one of them because it's just not my cup of tea.
- [0:41] 📚 Setting a goal, like reading a specific number of books in a year, can help motivate and structure your reading habit. - [1:21] 🔄 Swapping out old habits with new routines, like reading before bed instead of scrolling through social media, can help establish a consistent reading habit. - [2:00] 🎧 Listening to audiobooks during commutes or chores can maximize your reading time and allow for multitasking. - [3:01] 📖 Experimenting with different genres of books can help you discover new interests and keep your reading experience fresh. - [4:22] 📚 Using services like Shortform can provide summaries of books to help you decide if they're worth reading, saving time and money. - [5:40] 🔀 Reading multiple books simultaneously can prevent boredom and expose you to a variety of genres and writing styles. - [7:07] 🚫 It's okay to abandon books that don't hold your interest or provide value, saving time and allowing for more enjoyable reading experiences. - [8:18] 😊 Enjoying the process of reading and exploring different genres is key to building a lasting reading habit.
I really needed to hear the “read several books at once”. I’ve been reading A Little Life and as much as i love it, it has a tendency to be a little too sad for me to handle hahaha. I’ll be reading Kyoshi for a while as a kind of palette cleanser
Don’t you guys have working libraries in your countries? Is this just some finnish thing to have public libraries where you buy this card that costs like 2€ (5€ if you lose it). You can borrow books/films/comics/plays for like a month and then you return it back to your local library.
Tip #4 is the game . CHANGER !!! I have started so many books in the past and lost even more interest in them the more I forced and thought I had to finish that book before starting a new one . That is not true , if it doesn't entrap, you don't read it. If it peeks your interest, give it a few more pages. If you can't understand what they're saying 👏🏾 put 👏🏾 it 👏🏾 down
Hi Just wanted to say that you inspired me to start journaling on Substack and that it has really helped me get my thoughts together. I'm thankful for that. I look forward to reading your posts there aswell! Great video as usual
There is one famous tips that "you should not watch phone 2-3 hours before you get into sleep" How to handle this ancient teachings 😂 I just give up and watch this viedo
Do you have goodreads account? And if you do , can you please link it here so I can follow you? I'm very interested to know what kind of books and literature you are interested in. If you don't have one you can link any account you have that related to books.
not trying to be rude or anything but the outro in your videos feels like it's way too fast. I think it would be better if you had an outro which includes video recommandations like 'my previous video' , 'you might wanna see this' etc. Like a cool background maybe colorful or idk whatever you like. A chill music at the end also. Other youtube channels have that and i think it looks good and more like a professional if you know what i mean. This is just an advice don't get me wrong please. Love your content
Woah! This is the first time a big RUclipsr has stolen my thumbnail and title!! I'm not sure why, but it got me weirdly excited when I saw it lol. As a (very) small creator, you make videos and feel like no one ever sees them, so it's nice to know that you do in fact get noticed. Great video, Ruri! Glad I stumbled upon your channel. Lots of great content :)
I find reading before bed really easy, but when I fall asleep unless I have a hard time sleeping, before bed is not when I have the most potential time to read, so when I have a weeekend or time, without working, that’s what men I want to read, more and I guess I can rn instead of wa
Please do address the shortcomings of audiobooks. Too many people think listening to an audiobook has the same benefits as reading a book and while you may be consuming the book all the same the cognitive processes are very different, especially since as you mentioned listening to an audiobook is a passive process where actually reading is active. I think this would be an important topic to address in the productivity space as too many people are missing out on the cognitive benefits of reading thinking listening to audiobooks is the same thing.
@@ruriohama I agree, but it's still not the same as actually reading which is why I think it would be interesting for you to make a video about that, especially since in this video you mentioned that there is a difference meaning you are also aware that they are not the same.
I used to read lots of book when I was young but in course of time it reduced drastically but my fascination for reading books still remains. This video gave me lots of inspiration, hope I can make time to read books again.
started reading this month (february) bc I never really read anything, I started reading Anna Karenine (Tolstoi), ( Zarathoustra) Nietzsche and a book of lost jobs of Paris (classics so that I am not concern about reading something bad) but I struggle to finish a book of 200 pages, I read it in multiple days :(( When I see an old relation reading like 6 books a month I'm so upset of myself... Why can't I read like a normal person, I really like reading :((
I used to read a lot of books but then I started to notice they were all kind of saying the same thing, maybe because there are like 4 publishing companies in my country now?

@@priscillayg Yup! As long as you're not in a hurry to finish (e.g. a test is coming up), I feel this is the best way to cover hard to read books 🙂
@@mackeyboy5442 that's a great tip, a little is always better than nothing
hey how's your Japanese study going? I'm interested cause i also want learn Japanese.
@@sakatagintoki-5056 hello! I passed my N4 exam. Still a bit confused with particles though even if I've read the book 'all about particles' 😄 how are your studies going?
I am pleased to see that you read books in other languages (besides Japanese), and perhaps this too could be a tip for reading more books. Ever since I learned French, I have been able to access a whole new world of books, many of which simply aren't available in my native language, English.
Agreed. My first language is German, but I read about 50% of my books in english. It helps me not lose my knowledge in the language and even advance it and english books are so much cheaper in Germany then German ones.
If you focus on only reading books fast to read many, you won't learn anything. You need to digest a book, take your time, for it to change you.
Reading slowly has its own perks too. 😊
Just go to read, don't look at this video. You're welcome
Started to listen audiobooks 3 month ago. Would be really interesting to learn some tips about listening not passively. Thank you, Ruri!
As someone who has learned foreign languages, may I recommend reading the text while listening to the audiobook?

日本から応援してます！
ありがとうございます！
I don't know why I never considered reading more than one book. I read comics regularly and switch through them but I never thought to apply that to books. Very great tips.
I think that reading comics is as valid as reading books
@@monellacreativa9382 that's an objective fact, so what you think doesn't matter
@@tonyisnotdead subjective* actually
I would love to see a list of the 100 books you read!
I'm reading "Before The Coffee Gets Cold". ☕I like how the author expresses the characters' emotion. At the same time, I would like to read a book that is about productivity.📖
Maybe try Atomic Habits. I heard that it is about productivity
The book is sooooo good! Did you finish it?
Can you please tell whether Dulingo app is right or not for learning Japanese
who gonna talking about how she is getting more beautiful and sweat😍
100 books is too much. How are you supposed to absorb what your reading if you’re finishing 2+ books every week. Find a book you like, take your time with it, and absorb it fully. It will be much more relaxing and rewarding, trust me.
Exactly my thought! And what does 100 books even mean? 100 books with more than 800 pages or 100 books with 300-400 pages?
one book well read is worth much more of your time than 100 half-assed attempts to pass off as a reader
Thank you so much for this video! While I will not be reading more than one book at a time because my ADHD brain would lose interest in every book I'm reading, I'm influenced to read more audio books to reach my future reading goals. You've earned a new subscriber!
Neden artık Türkçe videolar çekmiyorsun? Global olmak güzel bir şey ve senin adına mutluyum fakat bir anda Türk takipçilerini unutman üzücü.
Hic Turkce videolar cekmedim ki kanal hep Ingilizceydi :(
@@ruriohama evet ama ara sıra atıyordun :(
i love those tips!! especially tip 3, I never thought about it, I'm gonna give it a try, thank u! 💓
my goal for this year is 15 books, last year I started reading again after idk maybe 3 years, 15 is not that many, but better than 0!!!
The amount of books you read may be irrelevant if those books are useless. The question is not the quantity of books, but the correct books, and the quality of reading, that will bring you growth.
Of course! But I mainly read to create content which naturally makes me read more than average
Indeed! What deterred me from reading books on many things tbat are interesting for me was a realization that i have no ways in my current life to implement and use this information and i know from my own experience that information that is not being used will be forgotten soon. Sad but true.
But the question is, did you learn something from them? It's not the quantity of books, but the knowledge that you acquire from them.
@@ruriohama are we talking about reading 100 books a year and also memorizing and understanding all of them pages and can answer question moral of the story about it?
As if people only read to learn 🙄. I'm sick of hearing that everything we do has to have some sort of profit. Like pretend to be productive all the time.
Love your make up
Yo Ruri, wish you well 🧘♂️
You should post your books, I could always do some non fiction.
The last book I read was The Alchemist
Perfect story about persistence! as someone learning to walk again. After being hit by a car
I really like your videos! I discovered you like a week ago. ✌🏼❤️
I just finished reading The White Pill by Michael Malice. I highly recommend that everyone check it out. It's a somewhat dense history book but it reads quite easily due to the author's narrative writing style.
Reading a lot of books is great but understanding what the book is saying is vry important and should have to apply good points in our lives also...
Yes. I recommend reading a lot in the same kind of genre (fiction) or the same kind of topic (non-fiction), so that you can build a web of information as a reference point.
When I quit social media I accidentally started to read more without any effort🤷🏻♀️
As always, you have touched on a very useful subject, unfortunately, in our time, people are trying to get all the information from their mobile phone or computer, and the rate of reading books is decreasing day by day. Thanks for your advice Ruri
I found the easiest for me to read was to use kindle on my phone during commutes to work. Best way to fully maximize time that would otherwise be wasted being on transit.
This is very useful, just when I'm gonna do a very important exam, and you post this, thank you ruri
One year when I was in the middle of a massive depressive cycle that was spanning years, I started reading books that made me laugh exclusively. By the end of that year, I was feeling better than I had for most of my life and I read around 100 books. I didn't read more than that because I didn't have enough money for more.
The money part is such a mood
I've discovered audiobooks lately and I was able to finish at least three books, one of which was a novel, I've wanted to read for a long time. Audiobooks are great!
Nice video again. Thank you so much, Ruri! You're so inspiring and supportive on my language learning and self-improvement journey!
Best wishes for 2023 and greetings from your biggest German fan!
You were saying that focusing on the number of books you read is not the point literally 2 months ago. What's your point? From the outside it feels like you change your take depending on the last self help book you've read
reading 100 books a year is so very far less important that reading "x" number of good books a year
Step one: No social life.
So far I'm succeeding.

Pudo haber leído los 100 libros pero estoy más que seguro que no retuvo ni uno solo bien , no es la cantidad es la calidad
Actually I'm reading books about car engineering quite a lot these days
I would like to ask:
1: (This may be straightforward) How does one do the 1st step when they use their phone as an alarm clock?
2. How does one read multiple books but somehow remembers the contents of said books?
Otherwise thank you for your helpful video
1- you can buy alarm clock to replace it. It doesn’t have to be expensive
2- you need to do output to retain information. You can check out my how i never forget what I read video :)
what are going with sport?
I'm one of those impulsive book buyers. You know, people who buy books because they like the title or they think the cover is cute or simply because they like buying books for no reason. And then i leave them to ferment on the bookshelf for a whole year or i just forget about it completely 😂
You are always interesting there is something so comforting and reassuring about your voice very intelligent video i really need to get back into reading
Let's goooo
Thank you so so so Ruri for giving this reading tips because I love to read books so so so much and I love your videos so so much and I wish you reach 700K Subscribers very very soon!💫💞☺️
The intro hooked me because I experience the same! I used to read a lot as a kid until I got a smartphone in college. Dunno if I can read 100 books this year, but definitely set a goal to read at least 25.
Thanks for the tips, especially #4! I tried to finish 2 books in January but I just couldn't get through one of them because it's just not my cup of tea.
Thank you ruri! I also like to read. People who give books, book recommendations, and reading tips are to me good people.
Can you memorize all the 100 books and their core message?? 🤔
- [0:41] 📚 Setting a goal, like reading a specific number of books in a year, can help motivate and structure your reading habit.
- [1:21] 🔄 Swapping out old habits with new routines, like reading before bed instead of scrolling through social media, can help establish a consistent reading habit.
- [2:00] 🎧 Listening to audiobooks during commutes or chores can maximize your reading time and allow for multitasking.
- [3:01] 📖 Experimenting with different genres of books can help you discover new interests and keep your reading experience fresh.
- [4:22] 📚 Using services like Shortform can provide summaries of books to help you decide if they're worth reading, saving time and money.
- [5:40] 🔀 Reading multiple books simultaneously can prevent boredom and expose you to a variety of genres and writing styles.
- [7:07] 🚫 It's okay to abandon books that don't hold your interest or provide value, saving time and allowing for more enjoyable reading experiences.
- [8:18] 😊 Enjoying the process of reading and exploring different genres is key to building a lasting reading habit.
I really needed to hear the “read several books at once”. I’ve been reading A Little Life and as much as i love it, it has a tendency to be a little too sad for me to handle hahaha. I’ll be reading Kyoshi for a while as a kind of palette cleanser
The people who make these videos about how to read more, often sound as if they've never read a single book in their life.
Thank you so much, those tips are really useful. Thanks to you I'm reading daily and I got the importance of this in our life. 😄

Don’t you guys have working libraries in your countries? Is this just some finnish thing to have public libraries where you buy this card that costs like 2€ (5€ if you lose it). You can borrow books/films/comics/plays for like a month and then you return it back to your local library.
Thank you For Helping us to be The best version for ourselves 💕..
Took me a while to realise that was an ad
Tip #4 is the game . CHANGER !!! I have started so many books in the past and lost even more interest in them the more I forced and thought I had to finish that book before starting a new one . That is not true , if it doesn't entrap, you don't read it. If it peeks your interest, give it a few more pages. If you can't understand what they're saying 👏🏾 put 👏🏾 it 👏🏾 down
Hi
Just wanted to say that you inspired me to start journaling on Substack and that it has really helped me get my thoughts together. I'm thankful for that. I look forward to reading your posts there aswell!
Great video as usual
“You can get your money back but not time.” This is a good advise not just in reading books but also in life.
i know I'm gonna get called a simp but, i have to say it.
you look absolutely beautiful, it's breath taking🌷🙈
There is one famous tips that "you should not watch phone 2-3 hours before you get into sleep"
How to handle this ancient teachings 😂 I just give up and watch this viedo
Thank you Ruri
Do you have goodreads account? And if you do , can you please link it here so I can follow you? I'm very interested to know what kind of books and literature you are interested in. If you don't have one you can link any account you have that related to books.
not trying to be rude or anything but the outro in your videos feels like it's way too fast. I think it would be better if you had an outro which includes video recommandations like 'my previous video' , 'you might wanna see this' etc. Like a cool background maybe colorful or idk whatever you like. A chill music at the end also. Other youtube channels have that and i think it looks good and more like a professional if you know what i mean. This is just an advice don't get me wrong please. Love your content

Woah! This is the first time a big RUclipsr has stolen my thumbnail and title!! I'm not sure why, but it got me weirdly excited when I saw it lol. As a (very) small creator, you make videos and feel like no one ever sees them, so it's nice to know that you do in fact get noticed. Great video, Ruri! Glad I stumbled upon your channel. Lots of great content :)
I find reading before bed really easy, but when I fall asleep unless I have a hard time sleeping, before bed is not when I have the most potential time to read, so when I have a weeekend or time, without working, that’s what men I want to read, more and I guess I can rn instead of wa
Please do address the shortcomings of audiobooks. Too many people think listening to an audiobook has the same benefits as reading a book and while you may be consuming the book all the same the cognitive processes are very different, especially since as you mentioned listening to an audiobook is a passive process where actually reading is active. I think this would be an important topic to address in the productivity space as too many people are missing out on the cognitive benefits of reading thinking listening to audiobooks is the same thing.
It’s still better than not reading/listening anything
@@ruriohama I agree, but it's still not the same as actually reading which is why I think it would be interesting for you to make a video about that, especially since in this video you mentioned that there is a difference meaning you are also aware that they are not the same.
You should have tried any of Sobers Rodrigues books. He writes very rich content.
I used to read lots of book when I was young but in course of time it reduced drastically but my fascination for reading books still remains. This video gave me lots of inspiration, hope I can make time to read books again.
I bet you couldn't even list the title of half the books you read last year let alone pull anything of meaning from them.
I think this time this is the best RUclips channel for myself I learn too much with you and I just want to say thank you .

I don’t know how to stop reading actually, is the only thing I do in my free time
5:40 Bookmark to myself, who hesitates to pick up the next book because of that guilty feeling if I haven't finished reading one.
Is it only me? I think her voice is as beautiful as she is

How to leave alone
started reading this month (february) bc I never really read anything, I started reading Anna Karenine (Tolstoi), ( Zarathoustra) Nietzsche and a book of lost jobs of Paris (classics so that I am not concern about reading something bad) but I struggle to finish a book of 200 pages, I read it in multiple days :(( When I see an old relation reading like 6 books a month I'm so upset of myself... Why can't I read like a normal person, I really like reading :((
I used to read a lot of books but then I started to notice they were all kind of saying the same thing, maybe because there are like 4 publishing companies in my country now?
