  • I've read 1,000 books over the past decade.
    Here's what I've learned.
    Most books are simply one great idea surrounded by 300 pages of fluff.
    In other words:
    Most books are a complete waste of time.
    Let me save you some time:
    Here are 12 that are worth re-reading every year.

    I definately check some of these out. I find it is the reflection and integration steps the most challenging. Determining what is really valuable, and then consistently applying it can be challenging in a world with constant demands. Some of my favourite life improvement books are much simpler, like David Allen's "Getting Things done". Just remembering what the priorities are in life, and taking action on what needs to be done next, is so important to making progress.

    This is a great list. After my high school best friend of 32 years died at the end of last year, I made a decision to spend even more time reading than I have so far. Today, I finished my 70th book for the year. Re-reading books is one of the most important habits of reading deeply.
    You asked for 3 lessons from your video and here they are:
    • On the strength of your video, there's a couple of books I'm going to give a second chance: Almanack and Power of Now.
    • I'm going to put a boot up my backside and FINALLY get around to reading Influence.
    • The book by Austin Kleon sounds like just the tonic I need to give myself permission to release my entrepreneurial art into the world.

      "Meditations" is truly one of the greatest books ever written. Another one is "The Discourses of Epictetus", written at about the same time as Meditations was being put together by the wisest of the Roman Emperors. These two literally changed my life, radically. I had read a lot and certainly learnt much before these two books, but the wisdom in them is just priceless, oye-openning in ways that I never before thought about. Thank you so much for your recomendations, I will certainly buy soon the ones I have not already read. Great videos, and please, keep up the great work you do.

      Hm... that's a great question.
      I think a lot depends on where you might be in the journey, but a good rough order would be:
      1. Meditations
      2. Man's Search for Meaning
      3. The Power of Now
      4. The Great Mental Models
      5. The One Thing
      6. The Almanack of Naval Ravikant
      7. Influence
      8. Thinking Fast and Slow
      9. Fooled by Randomness
      10. Antifragile
      11. Show Your Work
      12. The Most Important Thing

    Thanks Anthony for the great video. You referenced one book that you indicated it would take maybe 30 minutes to read. What are your techniques for accomplishing that, it may be in one of your other videos which I have not seen but what do you recommend. I’m a slow reader and my eyes are getting less comfortable to be able to read. I do audiobooks where I can crank up the speed and bookmark sections. I miss reading though and open to techniques for reading faster.

    • @AnthonyVicino
      @AnthonyVicino  8 месяцев назад +3

      Well, that book is a quick read mainly because it's really short and has lots of pictures.
      I'm actually not a terribly fast reader, and I think it's counterproductive to try learning to read faster. Just read at whatever read is right for you.
      Focus on comprehension, not completion.
      Everything else will fall into place.

    1:"Understanding only becomes useful when we adjust our behaviors and actions accordingly."
    2:Use writing as a form of reflection on what I read, and connecting the dots of foresight
    3:Quality over quantity approach, taking the best books, reintegrating their lessons and reflecting deeper upon them

    Meditations is like my manuscript to me
    I've read Power of Now before, but it's surely something I need to read again.
    A book I've enjoyed reading yearly over the past two decades is 'Candide' by Voltaire. Short story, but always reminds me to stay grounded and to "keep watering my garden". Reading this book helped me in understanding a few lessons in life. Love it!
    Great list. I'm ooking forward to reading all of the others.

    Yes, the "Now" is where everything happens...unless the now is overridden by memory (past) and/or fear (future). My personal chalenge is to focus so exclusively on the now that my subconscious default programs change to my "now" paradigm.

    For me, the following books would definitely belong on such a list:
    - Seneca (as a Stoic like Marcus Aurelius): "Moral Letters to Lucilius" and "On the Happy Life"
    - Epictetus (Stoic): Discourses
    - Montaigne: "Essays"
    If I had to choose I would even prefer Seneca and Epictetus to Marcus Aurelius.

    Man's search for meaning by Viktor Frankl is by far the best book ever written for a male human being who aspires to do anything with his life. It basically makes all your excuses for not doing something completely invalid and silly. I read it when I was lost in life and without a purpose (age 26) of how to make money working for myself, live freely and have time for myself, not only for bosses and bills, and 3-4 years later I was a millionaire, solving all problems and obstacles along the way with ease.

      I journal every morning for 5-10 minutes and so I tend to use that time as opportunity to reflect.
      I don't think it's necessary to get super rigid about taking notes and whatnot.
      Instead, just take note of the interesting concepts that lodge themselves in your skull. Be aware of what sticks in there, and then make time to actively reflect on that.
      Only 2-3 concepts really stick with me each time I read a book. Focus on retaining THOSE, rather than trying to drill all the other parts into your memory.
