You've probably said this before but I'm curious I've never heard you say it. if you had not been a RUclipsr for whatever reason, what would your day job these days be? Or what was your job before getting into RUclips full time?
Ooh! Great question! I hope he answers you: I'm curious too! : )
Not my all time favorite book but probably one of the most definitive of my life…I read “Across Five Aprils” in the 7th grade, became a Civil War buff from that day forward which led me to getting my B.A. in history. I worked at a world famous research library in their special collections reading room for a number of years before doing a career pivot to nursing but I am still a lover of history. I wouldn’t be the same person without reading that book over thirty years ago.
Can’t wait for those book recommendations!
The Imitation of Christ
by Thomas à Kempis
When I walked-on to Baylor's Cross Country and Track team in the fall of '83, I knew I could do that, but I never filled out forms nor was I told if I made the team or not. I traveled one time, and just kept coming to work-outs for three years. Then my major required me to be in class during work-out times, so I just walked off my fourth year. I enjoyed my time doing that and never stopped running.
Wow, quite the story there Robert! glad you got to experience collegiate CC
Not QD but I like your message today Seth. As a dad of 4, a runner, a full time employee, a full time graduate student, and a part time soldier in the National Guard I can agree when you say it’s never easy to get where you want to be. It takes sacrifice, hard work and patience! So all you youngsters out there working hard and staying discipline, keep with it and good luck to you!
THANK YOU for your service to our country. Much respect for your dedication and sacrifices. Run on Daniel
professional multi-sport outdoor performance coach since 1981 and top selling book author on Wholistic Fitness and Outdoor Sports Performance and Yoga.
ilg's podium of books (and I'm gonna veer toward Running for this forum:)
1) Jonathon Livingston Seagull by my friend, Richard Bach. why? No limitations.
2) The Zen Of Running by Fred Rohe. why? Simple and powerful and as a Zen student, it combined two of my earliest passions.
3) Running & Being by Dr. George Sheehan. why? it gave DEPTH and DIMENSION and PHILOSOPHICAL GROUNDING to the outer action of just 'running'...it made Running a spiritual vehicle for young ilg.
The Long Walk: The True Story of a Trek to Freedom. Perseverance!!
Care work is work too, Seth!
No real books to draw on - I have a degree in music and I drew my passion from notes written on a page by the great composers who have snapped music as we know it today.
I'm shocked at how bad this channel has got. See you over by Costco! That path west on Wads and Quincy just south of Quincy is amazing to run all the way to the 470 trail/red rocks/etc. You run by my house all the time when this used to be a running channel and not a Casey neistat view/selling machine but that new 1 mil house there isn't going to pay for itself.
Had to think about this for awhile! Book #1: Mans search for meaning by Viktor Frankel, Book #2 Coaching womens gymnastics by Bill Sands, and running wise Book # 3 : Wilma by Wilma Rudolph .
I am always cognizant of the work that you and others are n RUclips put in every day. Not quite 4 years ago a friend of mine suffered a catastrophic illness which she is still working to recover from. We live several hundreds miles away from each other so on a practical basis there was nothing I could do to help out her and her family. I decided to do about the only thing I could do to possibly provide to her a brief moment each day to take her out of her current circumstances: I started sending her each day a photo that I had taken. A simple task but also at times difficult as I strive to make each picture that I send interesting in some way. This is a fraction of the effort that you put in each day and my thanks to you for doing so.
That's incredibly beautiful: what a kind and thoughtful act! Thank you: for doing that, and for sharing your story.
QOD: I recently listened to the audiobook version of “Endure” by Cameron Hanes and found it intriguing. Cameron is a world class bow hunter but also dips his feet in the marathon & ultra world. And he’s from Eugene, Oregon which is 80 miles north of where I grew up
QD: Oh man...thats a cool QD today...my job is a bookseller..this is a special apprenticeship in Austria. The book that led me to do this was the book called "Demian" from Hermann Hesse...a german poet.
It`s, to keep it short, on finding yourself and notice that everything, every human, every action has two sides...anything can happen...maybe I cannot explain it that understandable in English, but it opened my eyes, that I should stop highschool and start the apprenticeship and I never regretted....
The Richest Man in Babylon by George Clason. Excellent principals in a simple story.
QOD: I’m a street cop in a small city in Central New York. No books led me to this career, but rather, my father was an officer at the department I work for and talked me into taking the exam to try to get hired. That was 14 years ago and now I’m only 6 years away from being retired from this chapter of my life if I so choose.
QOD: I'm currently a school bus driver. I worked 41 years for Owens/Corning (building materials corp.) and when I retired 4 years ago I said "I want accomplish one other thing in my life" (job wise)! I too have the financial freedom to pick and choose now and due to the fact my mother was a bus driver for many years I choose that for more second act! That's my story and I'm stickin to it! :)
“I don’t work as hard as I used to”. Yeah, we know Seth. Time to get back to it!
sustainability is a key lesson to learn
@@SethJamesDeMoor Amen!!! Sustainability learned now will keep you in it for the long game!
Where running intersects with life: progress is made by stacking solid, not spectacular, runs. In life, if you work to the point of exhaustion every day, you burn out. It’s unsustainable. BUT, if you put in solid effort day in and day out, leaving room for recovery and balance, you’ll find yourself getting better and better. At work, at running, at life.
@@senorchall Love this comment: thank you!
Qd: thanks for the great advice Seth, this definitely helps me as I am currently on spring break touring Colorado schools. Thinking a lot about the future
As a running librarian/philosopher, I loved today's entry. Read good books? Yes,yes, yes! Three of the best books I've read recently are: 1. Dare to Lead; 2. Joy at Work; and 3. Atomic Habits. The three of them tie in with the sign-off very well, actually. Other books in the comments are well worth reading too. And, if you need further book recommendations, please ask your local librarian. (We love it when that happens!)
Atomic Habits keeps coming up in my life, maybe its time to read! Sounds like you're well read!
@@SethJamesDeMoor The author talks about building positive habits incrementally, in a doable way. It's a very individual approach that can easily be applied to activities like long term things like meditation or running. It doesn't hurt that the book was readable - professional development that I actually enjoyed. The Thursday newsletter from the author is thought provoking (in a good way) too.
QOD: On the slightly facetious side, I read Little Men when I was in high school, and its incredibly idealistic story of a near-utopian boarding school inspired me to think I too wanted a family of 10 boys and 1 girl, just like Jo. Now I'm a homeschool mom to 5 boys and 1 girl: close enough!!! Far from utopia around here, but it's been (and continues to be) a wonderful and amazing journey!
The book that has influenced my life in every area, and I do mean every area, is the Bible: I try to read it all the way through every year, and actually have for more than 35 years now (Wow! That's actually kind of stunning when I do the math: I don't feel old enough for that to be true! 🤣).
Qd. I'm a music teacher. There wasn't a book that led me to it but the influence of my high school band director. The first book i read that influenced my development and early teaching career was Music Matters, which came out my junior year of college.
Music, so foreign to me, but beautiful at the same time!
The psychology of money
QD. I'm a diesel mechanic, and no books guiding me. It was an awesome careers teacher at tech school here in Colac Australia that guided me.
Great video 👌🏻
College Professor: my recommendation is a classic... 'Meditations' by Marcus Aurelius. This cornerstone Stoicism work changed my life; how I view myself; how I view others, and how I react to the difficult situations I face. People try to control many aspects of uncontrollable life; however, all we can really do is control how we react when 'stuff' happens. It's a great book for all people... especially runners : )
Michigander you should check out Ryan Holiday's books (Courage Is Calling, Discipline is Destiny among others). I've been re-reading Meditations for a couple years now and it is great! Philosophy is running; running is philosophy. Take care!
Middle school principal. Can’t think of a book that made me decide on this career. But a book that influences my everyday life is Discipline Equals Freedom by Jocko.
Wonderful Ricardo, great career path you have chosen. And thanks for the book recommendation.
I’ll have to read your recommendations! Two books recommendations are “The millionaire next door” it may help lead to a career choice and help financial decisions if that's your interest. The second is “Shoe Dog” by Phil Knight it’s the story of Nike written by the founder.
three books that changed my life 1. Nineteen Eighty-Four by George Orwell 2. None Dare Call it Conspiracy by Gary Allen/LarryAbraham 3. Black Mother: Africa and the Atlanta Slave Trade by Basil Davidson .....Favorite running book: Unbroken: A World War II Story by Laura Hillenbrand
Boom, mic drop on this line up
Unbroken is an absolutely amazing read. Not about running, but a book that has a similar feel is The Boys in the Boat, about a WW2-era Olympic rowing team: also a phenomenal story, and super well written.
Count of Monte Christo and Les Miserables. It is interesting that these are my top two books as the protagonists of both stories took different approaches to the wrongs they suffered in the past.
Eeee! I *loved* both of those: incredibly gripping. Pretty happy that one of my sons (18yo now) had to read Les Mis in high school and now calls it his favorite book!
QOD: I work for Florida's Dept. of Education while getting my PhD in Higher Education. Was denied into the program initially and amidst the pandemic I was actually working at Home Depot (after getting my masters) and thought it would be dumb to apply again. My father in-law took me aside and said "If you dont believe in yourself, they wont ever believe in you". I applied, got in, and one of the best books i have ever read while in school was actually about D-day, and I learned how basically world war 2 was won not by a massive army, but by the decisions of a few brave men. Life is about decisions and how we discern decisions. Great topic today seth.
QD: I’m an area manager in the Travel Stop industry. The top 3 books that influenced my career success and life the most are: 12 rules for like an antidote to chaos by Jordan Peterson. Awaken the giant within by Tony Robins, and Think and grow rich by Napoleon Hill. I read think and grow rich and tripled my income within 3 years. Leaders are readers!
Everything you said was something I was already well aware of but needed the reminding. I’m working on a new business to give me financial freedom on top of my existing job. It’s easy to look at successful people like yourself and forget the daily hard work that went into it. There are days I wished you still lived at your small and simple home so that I could be reminded more easily and often. Your story is a one of hard work; thanks for inspiring!
Awesome Doug, go get it!! Wow, I'm excited for you.

I was voted most addicted to social media in high school, here I am starting to make youtube videos.. some things never change 😂
No, you can't always get what you want
You can't always get what you want
You can't always get what you want
But if you try sometime you'll find
You get what you need
*Rolling Stones*
discipline equals freedom
QD: I'm an IT professional, I do end user and network support. Really wasn't any books that led me to want to work with computers. I think it was mostly wanting to play computer games back in the 80s and 90s. And back in the 80s and early 90s you had to figure it out yourself how to get those computer games to run.... And it just kind of snowballed from there. I didn't want to work in factories like my parents did. Grandpa paid for me to go to college so I wouldn't have to get dirty for a living. And that's how it's been for over 20 years working with computers. Still trying to advance my career right now to do more network and system support.
Seth, I really like your approach to your life, sadly now days people don’t want to WAIT for good things to happen. Simple life with values always take you further in life and really enjoy life en general. Thank you for the good advice. God bless!
Not QD, but in regards to financial freedom I just traded my new car for a used car that will allow me to do other things with my resources. I don’t regret it one bit. It’s actually a CR-V like yours Seth!
Its Vlogs like this that make you special. You pour into peoples lives by encouraging them. Thank you!!
Hey Seth! What if you included the top books on your weekly email? Or any that you have read and your own review?
I would have to say "Extreme Ownership" by Jocko Willink. He opened my eyes to what it means to take control of my life, and to stop letting obstacles, big and small, hold me back. Life is hard, but that is no reason to quit.
"Atomic Habits" by James Clear. He gives you a roadmap to small successes leading to life changing habits
"Unbroken" by Laura Hillenbrand. What Louis Zamperini was able to accomplish in one lifetime is more than most of us could go through in two. And then to be able to find forgiveness for someone who tormented him 24 hours a day, thousands of miles away, years after the events?? PHEW! That is amazing.
1 The Book of Mormon 2 Shoe Dog. Both are great books for different reasons.
Shoe Dog was indeed awesome
First 🙂
QD: I got good grades and skipped high school, went to University abroad to study Civil Engineering, it was so tough I almost gave up since I lack two years of high school knowledge. I didn't give up, made it through,got a scholarship for masters and I was able to publish my paper into an international journal. Currently I'm an Executive Civil Engineer specialized in concrete technology. Hard work and patience you can get through anything...the book inspired me the most was The Holy Quran
Seth is the GOAT RUclips runner.... so much wisdom to accompany the great shoe reviews and training advice. From a 27 year old with two kids training for my first marathon, he is SPOT on with the choices you make earlier in life can really have downstream financial and lifestyle impacts.
Another great vlog, Seth. And today's comment section is definitely worth the read. Two things that come to mind are DISCIPLINE and gratefulness. To get to where you are (and to stay there) takes tremendous self discipline, which as a young person might seem antithetical to, as you put it, "freedom". But realizing when you've "arrived" and appreciating the process are also super important. It's so easy to focus on what we don't have (Bentleys ) and not be grateful for the many blessings in our lives.
Seth, you’re an incredibly gifted human being and we are grateful to enjoy these daily vlogs. Thanks for your hard-working example and dedication
books didn't factor into my professional career, but these are 3 that changed my life:
1) The Total Money Makeover by Dave Ramsey
2) An Astronauts Guide to Life on Earth by Commander Chris Hadfield
3) Joan of Arc by Mark Twain
Love this topic. Appreciate you opening up and sharing.
