What's up people, just wanted to leave a few additional thoughts here.
I. I know some of you don't like sponsorships. Completely understandable, but right now it's allowing me to continue putting as much effort as possible into every single video. My videos now make around $100-200 per video on average on Ad revenue which is way better than before (and I'm pumped about it!) but that's still nowhere near a livable amount of money. My filmmaker friends would laugh at me if I told them that's how much I make.
II. One of the best ways to help me is to spread the word! If you enjoyed this video, share it with a friend that enjoys books or is interested in exploring books again (thank you).
III. Feel free to use this thread as a place to share more book recommendations. If you name a book, give a reason for why you're recommending it.
Thanks for watching! I really appreciate the support.
I just got into reading too. :) I can recommend 'Why we sleep' by Matthew Walker. A great book about the benefits of sleep and the danger of missing sleep. Very easy to understand and the author explains why we should prioritize sleep more.
Books aren’t restricted to nonfiction here, right? In which case: Turtles All The Way Down by John Green. This is my favorite John Green book, following the story of a girl that has OCD with an amazing journey. In my opinion, reading fictions help us to understand more about our feelings and humanity, that’s why I recommend this book. It’s a great peek into a whole other world for most of us.
You are a creator.
Your medium is video and you post here on RUclips. Watching ads are a way we are able to pay to enjoy your creations. You deserve to be paid so please keep adding ads and sponsorships.
I was never a reader as a kid. Now, I love it.
Audiobooks are my favorite but I also enjoy actual books and find the whole process of holding the book and writing in and highlighting a powerful way to deepen my understanding of the book. (I too read a lot of self-help/learning books.)
My goal for 2019 is one book a week. I just finished book #26 so I’m well on my way.
One favorite was How To Win Friends And Influence People. I listened to it and now I’m going through an older edition highlighting, underlining and making notes. Powerful information.
Thanks for sharing a part of your journey/growth.

I just can't get used to audiobooks. I find its much harder to concentrate on them. One moment of distraction and you are lost and its a bother to go back and rewind the audio and find where you were before you lost focus. When I read books its easy to just read back. Also it helps to focus on the book itself rather than getting distracted listening while doing other things.
I agree with you!
You can increase speed of audio books
You actually retain much more when you read a paper book as opposed to an audiobook.
Me too. Plus, I don’t do very many activities where I can also listen and pay attention to something else.
it can take practice to be able to skillfully multitask
I love the style of your videos man. Great job!
These vids are so high quality dude... I hope you reach 1 million by the end of this year
Edit: Wow thanks for the likes guys...
quality > quantity
Definitely
This comment is high quality dude. I hope you reach 1k likes by the end of this year.
@TheSwoleBroscientist ok boomer
I rediscovered books as well!
I read 1 book a month, read it to the end and add it to my bookcase. It makes me feel acomplished and proud to see all the books i read!
I started doing the same this year, I'm 8 books in and loving it.
Same here.
This week I finished 2 book started last month and 2 new books.
Same
Recommendations ?
don't actually think the 'will read it to add it later to my bookcase' approach is the better, but if you're reading and enjoying l think that's what matters.
Speechless.
You tell such good stories. Stories that I can take away from social media and apply to my own life and look at day - to - day activities with a fresh and a mindful perspective. Thank you so much for the great work.
I got a library card two weeks ago... I wanted to read all the books I got recommended over the past months. Starting with the first Harry Potter book which I finished today.
Congrats, and maybe, one day, you'll build a library like mine. I own over 5,000 books and still growing.
@@otamorikun9845 bruh, you Tai Lopez?!
@@harryedwards4987 Nope. I just love buying and reading books. My father's the same. I'm going to spend $50 more on books in three days.
@@otamorikun9845 knaaaaaaaaaaaawledge 😂, cool stuff, do you have a book you recommend for me? That changed your life?
@@harryedwards4987 I would like to get some more recommendations too! :)
I've been trying digital books for a couple of weeks now. I've noticed that I'm a bit faster with my reading but nothing beats the experience of holding a book in your hands.
I'm so glad that I subscribed to you. You just keep on getting better and better every video Nathan 😢
You’re a man liberated from the system. I first felt that way when I was 14 cuz I took an year off from school thanks to a knee injury. I went through a journey very similar to yours. I learned to play the guitar by watching videos of others play on RUclips. I picked up martial arts and delved into spirituality and connecting back with nature. Long story short, I found a way out. But I was forced back into the system when I was 16 and I’m 19 now. I found your channel yesterday and you have sparked something in me that I needed... It’s still a bunch of sparks. Perhaps eventually it’ll light a flame. One that will grow into the one it was meant to grow into. You are one of the few personalities I’ve discovered who, I feel, will leave a lasting impression on me. You recognise a spark like that because it’s very distinct. I’m sure you know what I’m talking about. Thank you... I need to take this opportunity. You’ve gone through a journey, more beautiful than mine. I hope to go through a similar one too :)
Ok but now teach me how to dance like you dance to those books
Man, you changed my life,
I want to say that I never have any personal value before in my life but after watching yours videos, mental clarity is one of the most important core values of my life..
You helped me to change my perception..
Can't thanks enough you...
You are amazing...
Hy I am a new RUclipsr and he is my inspiration. I do book releated and positivity and facts releated videos..
Please subscribe to my channel if you love books and stay positive in life . Help me to reach 1k subscriber in my this new journey..
Enjoying these uploads man. Keep it up!
I love reading as well although lately I only read on my kindle or listen to audiobooks. I miss the feeling if holding a real paper book, the smell, the sound of turning pages.. This video reminded me of that times. I love the dip a lot! Essentialism sounds pretty awesome too (added to my reading list).
I think there is some psychology behind reading physical books to be more fulfilling. Hence that actual experience of turning pages and seeing physically how you breeze through a book, that cant be done via eBook, is more rewarding.
@@freelancers_corner yes, exactly. You feel like you make real progress when you see how far you've come😀 It's much faster to take notes too or jump pages.
Your quality and content are incredible. I can't tell you how much I look forward to watching you tell a story. You truly inspire me to think deeper and bigger, so thank you.

I discovered this channel recently and I have to say, the content here is straight up gold. Man the way you shoot your videos and how you're able to convey the message the the feelings you are trying to portray is simply amazing. The quality of work here needs to be appreciated so much more. Keep up the good work man!!
the quality of this video is just on another level. amazing
Thanks for the video man! You're definitely my fav YT channel & person on the planet! Your content connects deeply with what I'm going through in my life. Keep it up, much love.
I'm amazed by the concept of your video and the effort put in the visual editing. Truly amazed. This channel is going places, for sure !
Taking advantage of the notification by saying that I love your channel and what you are doing.
You really inspired and helped me, now I'm more organized in my life, in daily routines and when I'm studying.
Keeeeppp up the good work!
That library is divine! ♥♥ And Jonathan Livingston Seagull is one of the first books I've read! Truly inspiring. Great content, man!
Also, 6:22 hahaha
Wow I love this video!! I am also a younger guy with a short attention span. I actually just made a video yesterday about how I was able to read 50 books in 6 months! It was an incredible journey and very realistic for most people!
Such creative ideas Nathan! 👍🏻
Omg I'm in love with this editing & clips & script & music...
Just wow.
This guy is a movie director... waiting for your movie! Make one !!
bro im with you!! recently started reading because of videos from John Fish. Now I read everyday and it feels damn good
Just finished watching and as usual, wow! Your cinematography, filming and editing is amazing. It makes the video flow so smoothly. Keep up the good work
Thanks for this video! I'm in utter shock about how directly that introduction related to me and I really appreciated your perspective on this as someone who had the same experience and passion in younger years.
This is the best video Ive watched of you so far. Not because the others arent as good. But because I could resonate w this the most.
Your videos and the content of them are just amazing... I'm very impressed
This video is so beautiful, you put things in such a beautiful way through your words, the visuals are mesmerizing as well. Great job!
The second half of the video blew my mind. The effort and dedication you put into your work is boundless!! Keep it up! Your videos are definitely one of a kind.
You're my new favorite person as of now bro thanks 😄💯💯
I love reading! I have 4 books I’m reading at any given time. Some recommendations for anyone interested:
1. Ishmael
2. Shantaram

4. Dune
5. The Alchemist
Stambaugh Designs - Websites & Lead Generation Marketing
The Alchemist
The alchemist by Paulo or The alchemist by Jorge Luis Borges
limerence Paulo Coelho
ishmael-Daniel Quinn is lit🔥though I didn't enjoy Paulo coehlo- alchemist much to be frank🗣️
Dude... I'm watching your videos and I can literally feel the clarity you have when you're creating those videos. Super focused and to the point. You're doing a great job!
Incredible quality. Both the style and topic(s). Love the sound as well. Thank you.
I love your aesthetics 💖 nice video as always
I was half-watching and half-eating through your entire video, but at the end, when you presented your recommended books, those shots were GOLD. They were so professional that I stopped even listening just to admire your work. I really love it, it’s simple but gives you the message desired
This video was super impactful man! Books and the medium of writing is by far my favorite way to express creativity. Keep up the great work!
Amazing video, i love both the sound and video quality, overall your videos are like masterpieces
This is the first video of yours that i saw and bro I experienced positive energy near me for 10 minutes....wow
Plz continue what you do ..❣️
I also started reading more books some months ago. Mostly Science-Fiction.
At first I had problems with my attention to the book and I had to read whole pages again because I simply immediately forgot what it said. But I'm getting better at reading and now my attention goes fully to the book I'm reading.
Good thing you reread pages you haven't 'fully read' though,, some people skim through whole books like that just to impress people when they can say 'I've read ...'
It's happening the same with me. Sometimes I need to read the phrase from the beginning again because I did not pay attention to what I read.
You know that Nathaniel is one of a kind when he approaches book recommendations by making us feel what he felt when he read them. I really loved that part of the video, so simple, honest and pure
This video is PURE ART! Such good use of image and sound, Nathaniel! Congrats 😊

oof, I've felt that. Perfectionism is a double-edged sword in my experience. It pushes you forward but can also hold you back when the fear of not being perfect rears its ugly head. Use it in small doses when you can but don't be afraid to give "suboptimal" work. What you may see as flawed and half-assed might just be more than people were expecting. I've learned this the hard way throughout my schooling. If everything has to be perfect by an impossible standard you set, you'll get nothing done - not really. You'll get wrapped up in the tiny details and lose sight of the bigger picture. This is just my personal experience tho.
That quote also caught my attention, especially the word "loser". I really do not value the winner/loser mentality that seems to prevail in our culture. I believe it's detrimental and misleading as well, since a person can only feel like a "winner" in an (imaginary) juxtaposition to a "loser", in this case someone who is "average". What is wrong with being average anyway and who dictates what that is? I wish the focus in society was more on self-development instead of self-improvement, because self-improvement implies there's something to fix. Other than that I did enjoy the video.
Is this an attack to Nathaniel?
Laelia Singer no ones a loser
@@waterunder3718 yes, that's my point :-) As for me, it's not a personal attack by any means. I just don't agree with what I perceive to be a pervasive aspect of our society.
Your content is great and relatable😍...Thank you so much🙏
Dude, I'm becoming a HUGE fan of your content. I love the way you narrate, storytell, and keep the audience attention. I also totally relate to the topics you cover. Thanks man!!! You're crushing it
Yes! Currently binging and appreciating your videos. Thanks for sharing:)
This video is vey proffesional. Even though I already have a love for books, It grows watching other people love them too. Thank you for posting Nathaniel.
I absolutely love Sapiens by Harari, but I felt in love even more with his 21 lessons - everyone should check it out!
The pure quality of this is amazing Nathaniel, the energy I really felt this!!
Love the way you tell meaningful stories. Thank you. ❤️
Feeling blessed that RUclips algorithms brought me to this channel
My favorite thing about books is the fact that someone spends their whole life studying a subject then breaks down so much information of the subject for us!!
The shots in this video are extremely high quality and the overall way that the was put together just shows how great of a RUclipsr/video creator that you are! Awesome job with your content bro! 👌🏾👍🏾
sublime et impactant. j'adore, bravo :)
Were you inspired by Max Joseph's Short Film? On Bookstores?
Yeahhhh feels that way
Same music 3:17
that is one AMAZING video! definitely looks like he was inspired.
Omg yea I just watched that it was amazing
Love the smiling and warmth!
This video is well done! It resonates in me as someone who just started reading again this year and loving it
You are the Leonardo Davinci of the 21st Century! All my respect!
Nathaniel Drew *is* his own Magnum opus! As we all should be.
Appreciate your content Nate!
your videos are so beautifully done! had me hooked from the beginning 🙌🏽
This is such a great video! I feel quite lucky that I'm one of those people who's always found solace in books, especially throughout some testing teen years. Sometimes, though, I still find myself caught up in the digital world, and reading becomes less of a priority for me. I am able to figure out who I am through fiction, and this video has made me realise that perhaps reading less is where I started to lose my way.
P.S. If you want a great fiction author recommendation, who keeps the magic alive both in his writing and in his worlds, I highly recommend Brandon Sanderson. Just saying :D
Or Steven Erikson :) way too underrated in my opinion
This video is inspired by the video from Max Joseph.
Anyone reading this comment should totally check out his video titled "BOOKSTORES" too.
I could really relate to ur experience with books. Ironically, I myself too rediscovered books as i downloaded some on my phone.
Great video
Keep up the good work!
yeah the song that starts at 3:02 is from the video too!
@@calebchan5704 yeah i noticed that too
This video came just in time for me! Thank you so much!
Wowowow, this video was quite something. I’m loving your content. I screamed out loud when you mentioned the last book. I got it as a present and was blown away by how simple the book was yet impactful.
Keep doing you! Greetings from sweden💫
I can relate to this in a specific way. I didn't like reading when I was a kid but now I'm obsessed. And no fiction. Only self-improvement.
@HellVorn that's really sad that you think that.
@HellVorn you can learn a ton from fiction! You can learn about people, communities, and cultures that are different from yours. You can learn about periods of history, certain events, or current trends in science, sociology, or psychology. You can learn about specific topics--for example, in a novel where the main character is an entomologist, you will learn a lot about insects. You can learn about philosophy through fiction. You also hone your skill of empathy by reading fiction, while at the same time improving your vocabulary and verbal fluency, not to mention your emotional intelligence. And on top of all that, it is art, so while you learn you get to appreciate art, just in the same way you'd appreciate music or a beautiful painting, and all while taking a psychologically rejuvenating (free and easily portionable) vacation from your daily life. There is so incredibly much to be gained from fiction!
@HellVorn well, I disagree and that's ok. I read nonfiction as well--I read a lot--and I think they are both separately and extremely valuable.
HellVorn self help is a bunch of crap, at least reading fiction like Dostoyevsky or Camus can teach you one or two things about life :)
Also watch Max Joseph's "BOOKSTORES" video on youtube
your videos are getting better and better by the day, Nathaniel! keep it up. I look forward to your videos every week.
Your videos are just amazing. I love it. I love video footages. I love music on the background. I love the way you talk. It's sooooo relaxing. Thx for your videos
I rediscovered books too,i rediscovered them at beginning of this year,changed my life for better :)
Nathaniel : How I rediscovered books
Me: Glad I discovered Nathaniel Drew
Seriously the way you portray ideas and explain concepts is incredible ! You are soo talented
Such a great video! Thanks so much! I loved how you talked about the books with cinematic footage - brillant :)
Only one question for you sir.....where did you get your glasses🧐
Thank you so much for using my song D i v i n a t i o n ❤️ love your videos & your authenticity as a creator ❤️
This video really struck something in me. Thank you for continuing to be you and following what you believe in. I"m so excited to read again!
Absolutely phenomenal video- simply beautiful
Audio books don't have the smell of a book. That's part of the magic!
Pierre van Wyk agreed!
Whatever gets people invested in books! That's the important part!
@@erraticonteuse agreed
@@stonedagger2031 There's also some really good audiobooks out there! Like ones with full cast productions, and many books read by the author themselves give you just a little extra insight into the story just by their inflections at certain parts. And you can't read a print book while driving, which for a lot of people (like me) with daily commutes is a lot of reading time to just give up on.
@@erraticonteuse also unpopular opinion: even physical books don't smell that great.maybe its just bc the books i buy are all as cheap as i can get them and are from amazon but even library books to me don't smell that good.
"don't focus on me"
How?!
I love your videos, and this one might be my favorite. The editing, the sounds and the way narrate... Love it.
video of a great quality! love how the shots are made. picturesque and harmonic.
*Emotional incentive* has to be present, in order to read books.
That comes with clear intentions on why we want to invest our time in reading.
Some like to distract themselves but as we know it,
*Self-Improvement* genre has exploded with digitisation and getting a hands-on value from books is a great reason for people to start reading again.
O'SSÉIN - Master Your Mind With Me I see you everywhere! 🤣🤣
"I went to the library and was like 'Woah, there's still books"

Your vids just keep getting better and better✨✨
*KNOWLEDGE - potential power*
*APPLIED knowledge - true power*
True!!
cool story bro
0:56 has to be the sexiest thing I’ve heard from my headphones

So so good! Thanks for sharing.
Love your work bro!
Liking before even watching anyone? :)
Clicked as soon as I saw Cormac McCarthy in the thumbnail
Just finished the road a few days ago what an author
Great video, man. Inspiring as always
Your videos always give me hope
