I listen to audiobooks while reading physical book. Synchronisation is really well and it helps to keep more focus while reading. Also, books can be completed faster by this method.
So I’m trying this out and I really like it so I was wondering if you use audible, and if so is it worth the paying the premium or whatever for it to use it that way?
@@SophiaAngel-xi2br Audible is great you'll get an Audiobook every month. However there are others ways to get Audiobooks. The only drawback of reading by this method is that it's very easy to get lost and getting back to synchronise is pretty inconvenient. Audible splited it's audiobook by contents so it's easier to read that way.
“99% of the harm is caused in your head, by you and your thoughts. 1% of the harm is caused by reality, what actually happens and the outcome. Most of the time, the problem isn’t the problem. The way you think about the problem is.”
I always listen to audio books when I’m cleaning or working out and I learn so much. I love your outlook on audiobooks too because I definitely don’t see physical books the same as I see audio books but that doesn’t mean they’re any less useful
Since on Audible you only get one credit per month, what app or method would you recommend if you’re listening to more than one audiobook a month? Thanks!
As someone who has never read a book out of leisure or ever had the time to sit down and read, Audiobooks have been literally life-changing. I feel like I can learn something new every day just by commuting to work or cleaning the house or even rocking my son to sleep. Audible in combination with short-form summaries and Ali's book template on notion has changed my life. Ali, I can't ever thank you enough for the amount of value you bring into my life. From Notion to Anki to book recommendations etc etc.. the list goes on. Wishing you nothing but more success Ali!
I have gotten some great ideas from you and even did my own video on how to create a master reading database that uses your exact book summary method. I’m glad you dove into the audiobooks side because I do struggle with finding a way to take notes with them. Glad to see I am not alone.
‘If anyone recommends a book I buy it’ Is that really that helpful to your viewers that would rather not waste money and would rather make an investment in something they actually want to listen
I enjoy both ways, physically reading a book and listening to one. I wish we had more time during the day to sit down and read books. It's nice to play audiobooks out loud when I'm cleaning or cooking. I learn a whole lot more from physically reading a book than listening to one
What helps me the most is putting the audio book on 2x Speed while reading along the actual book or kindle version. And the absolute game changer: read a book multiple times (only if it’s great! 😊)
@@SamuelPeifferOfficial It is such an amazing book. I love the way James puts a summary at the end of each part of the Book. To answer your question, the first law (Make it obvious) is what is making me love the book. I did not know that I had to surround myself with the cues that can trigger the feeling to do the things I want. After learning about making it obvious, I decided to use a timer for every task (I'm a junior Graphic designer, btw). Because I have the timer, I tend to respect the amount of time allotted for each task and make changes if need be. I keep thinking of ways to make my room feel creative (as I want to be more creative). Ali recommended the book and I'm so grateful to him. My next book will be "so good they can't ignore you" by Cal Newport.
So Ali want us to buy any book we will heard about from AudioBook, then filtering which book we gonna complete. Lol. He want us to spend as much as money on this platform. It is amazing how RUclips is a straight marketing thing. You can just read a free summary on the internet or a review before deciding.
*"Anyone who is not investing now is missing a tremendous opportunity." Imagine investing $1,000 and receiving $13,300 in 3 days profits, Ms Becky is the best🇺🇸*
Audio books or podcast are amazing when travelling or doing daily chores, while physical books are great when winding down at night! 2X the learning! Agree? 🔥🔥🔥
I prefer books to audiobooks, but when I can not read books and I am on my way somewhere, I prefer to listen to audiobooks. Even if we listen to audiobooks for 10 minutes a day, it helps us a lot.70 minutes per week and 300 minutes per month. Thank you Ali for your helpful tips.
I could never get into audiobooks, but after watching some Jim Kwik webinars & videos from your channel, I gave it a try. I've found that walking or some driving (I drive my dog around the neighborhood, so it's slow and little traffic) is the best time for it. I've consumed >65 books in the last year and what it allows me to do is listen to multiple books on similar subjects and I get the material and insight from different authors from different angles. This gives me examples and sparks new thoughts over time. I, too, progressed from 1x to 1.8-2x speed and find that a nice sweet spot for getting the content and not feeling like it is dragging. I will stop walking and take notes either a quick typed up note or dictate into my phone using Google/Alexa ("take a note"). I can now speak in some detail about the topics I've been listening to with a good deal of confidence. I was not expecting this going into the experiment. For me, I'm 95% non-fiction and the works are mostly focused on self-help, productivity, psychology & human behavior. While many have lists & information that is great for reference, I have chosen to subscribe to Shortform for more detailed notes. These, I can listen back to as a refresher. I am shocked at the positive impact this has had on me and would recommend anyone toying with the idea to give it a try. You can find lots of audio books on youtube, or use apps from your local library to start out so you don't have to subscribe to Audible. That would give you more time w/no cost to give it a fair shake (at least 2 months because it's a hard habit to get into). If you are constantly listening to material and thinking of how you can apply it, it will start to change the way you think. I've found my favorite works are read by the authors. While there are some really great narrators, I feel a better connection knowing that these are their words and their voice. That said - I love Peter Coyote's readings of The Four Agreements/The Fifth Agreement.
Audiobooks definitely a game changer for me too! I have been listening to audiobooks whilst driving since 2018. Usually take notes on google keep which has a transcribe feature, you speak into it and it types your notes for you. The only issue is you have to press the screen in order to activate it which is a problem with these new handling a phone whilst driving laws 👀. I think youve just given me the solution. Will check out that draft app. Thanks for this vid
Throughout your pod and various vids I’ve noticed you mention apple notes quite a bit. The complexity of this app seems to be in the folder management. Do you think you could ever do a vid on apple notes and your note taking? Love your content bro! Keep up the good vibes. ✌🏻
Matt D'avella talks about how he uses Apple Notes in his video "My Simple Productivity System". It has some interesting insights into how he uses folders.
I've noticed when I read books verses when I listen to them, my verbal communication is much sharper. For example, it broadens my vernacular and my ability to process ideas mid conversation improves as well. Great video, thanks!

Today, I had an argument with friend who was claiming audio books are non-sense and not considering my points at all. Now I have what to send him. Thanks Ali, as usual great work and pinch of inspiration
Physical & audio complement each other, especially when encoding the information in your long-term memory. Reading + Listening to the same information drills it in my brain like crazy.
hi ali, can you add automatic subtitle for international people? some of them doesnt understand what you say, because we (especially myself) cannot understand what you say. Thankyou from your fan from Indonesia:)
Wow. I always knew that you speak fast but after a break from watching your videos I feel like you speak at 2x speed now 😅 I find myself breathing faster and shallow and kind of getting stressed listening. Good content as always just to fast for me to take it in worth pleasure.
Wow just like yesterday while listening to audiobook I was like I dont think these are for me but then I see your video and everything is just on point. These are the points I was actually missing. Thanks for the amazing tip.
I love audiobooks too! They’re how I started reading book but I moved over to manually book because I found it Interesting that my mind creates a voice through my mental construction of the character! 😂
Audiobooks have their use BUT physical (print or digital) books have a built in instant pause, rewind and fast forward function. Audiobook are useful to get familiar with a topic listenimg to while multitasking, etc. but if studying an audibook, do only that and no multitasking. The mind can wander instantly with an audiobook and you can miss stuff. But you can't loose your place or miss / skip information with a physical book. If all of a sudden you're thinking something prompted by the audio, you're no longer listening for that period of time. So you need to be aware of and prepared for that issue. Like be taking notes and be ready to pause and rewind, etc.
Hey Ali, my life is a mess I’ve gained tons of weight stopped all my good habits and have no motivation to do anything at all and I feel like I’m falling apart. Where should I start to get my life back on track?
5:45 this is a great point. this will help you get into flow, which'll help you absorb information easier - especially at 2/3x speed. similar to meditation when you have a certain postural position inorder to become more focused on the mindfulness process
When Ali comes back after two weeks with a new editing style 😁Audiobooks and physical books are both useful and can be used to complement each other. Great insights, Ali 🙂
I love audiobooks but doesn’t it also mean that life is reading like every conversation we have is like reading some of a book. Is it the way words are organised or the structure of them that’s crucial to ‘reading benefits ‘ ect. Like would podcasts be considered reading ?
I disagree with the point made about speed at the beginning, I read much much faster than listen. It's true for the vast majority of the people. I still love audiobooks but if it's a non-fiction book that you're reading to gather information or learn something, actual reading it far more productive.
For me, it depends on who the narrator is. I've had audiobooks that I just can't get on with because of the voice. Sounds petty, but I think it makes a lot of difference to whether you continue to listen or not.
Ali… why do you only read modern NYT times best seller? Or do you just use them for thumbnail? You are smart, you should read the classical literature/canonical texts, philosophy books, religion books, and just grapple with more stuff that is more fruitful. Some recommendations I think you may enjoy is: Securities Analysis by Benjamin Graham, Faust by Goethe or Maxims and Reflections or his autobiography, then I would visit essays from Schopenhauer, then writings from Whitehead. You can go any route you’d like but, here is some of my recommendations.
I tried to get info from audiobooks, but I just noticed I have much better info retention from a physical book than listening to it maybe since I'm more visual memory, and it also depends on and who is narrating the book, so I mostly choose fiction, entertainment and general knowledge reading to audiobook and study/deep learning on physical/digital format
Since you bring up the point... I often watch english spoken youtube videos at 1.25-1.5x speed, but wonder if you upload them already accelerated or if you just think and speak very very fast :D

Ali buddy, you look like you’ve been having less fun with your videos lately. Maybe take a good solid break and come back refreshed?
wait.....audio books don't contain the entire information in a phisical book? like they are kind of a resume?
Nope. They're audio versions of the entire book. - He has however referenced, before, some kind of book summation app that he uses as well.
I've lost count of the number of times I try to figure out what Wrapd Ali has on his MacBook. does anyone know?
I dunno there’s just something about physical books that makes reading just a little bit better. Nevertheless, amazing content!
