Ali, I was a student that was really bad at studying. One day, I came across your video about how to revise for exams and after that I binged watched all of your videos. Now I am one of the highest achieving students in my class!
hey! So nice to see another aviation channel that is a big fan of Ali.
@@thejorgemunoz fan of aviation also :D
@@tahmid6117 hey that cool bro, ill check out your channel
Wow guys! There are more people like me!
@@tahmid6117 i think i found it but there are some other with the same name haha
"When I stole a piece of bread to feed my stomach when I was 14, they threw me into the prison and gave me free bread for 6 months there. This is the justice of life." Les Miserables, Victor Hugo
Made my day ...thank you
Best quote of all time
Glad to see my favorite fantasy author Sanderson getting recommended! I've been looking for more non-fiction books to read so I'll definitely be adding some of these to my list.
So trueee, when you finish a series you love, it leaves a hole in your heart. It hurts to move on.
I love how in the thumbnail he has a "When you're expecting" book
His secret girlfriend must be pregnant. Hahaha. Just teasing. Sorry!
He is a doctor
yeah, it was funny
He had it to the side of another book he was describing during the video too 😂
Isn't he a gynecologist? Maybe that's why he has it.
Merry Christmas to everyone and a (hopefully better) Happy New Year 2021!❤️
Thank you SO much, Ali for sharing your absolutely magnificent wisdom and persona so transparently with us whether it be in the aspect of studies, productivity or life in general! I’m sure you get to hear this a lot but you are making such a huge difference in so many people’s lives by inspiring them to change for the better even if it be by a minuscule amount everyday!
In your last video, you mentioned how one of the reasons why you started this channel was a selfish one - to make it become your secondary source of income but I’d like to negate that point with a heartfelt NO for the sole reason that you’ve always been, from Day 1, out there to help others in the process and I feel like whatever benefit you get in return for it is much less than you actually deserve for the splendid quality of content, your sheer dedication and that friendly connection with your audience full of banter and learning you have so easily developed.
Your continuous endeavour to improve yourself or being curious about newer things is such an inspiring sight almost to the point of endearing! I wish you prosper in all you that you do because you’ve been nothing but a fruitful addition to everyone’s watch-time in a world where mindless chatter and content is abundant!
Lotsa love! :))
Thank you so much, Ali! For adding some wonderful recommendations in my 2021 TBR
Time to add these books to my already never ending to be read list!
Should we read those productively or not ?
Merry Christmas everyone! Hope you are safe!
Merry Christmas
The best part of this video is how excited he gets when talking about the books. I will definitely read some of these in 2021

I can't quite put my finger on it but I really enjoy hearing what you have to say about these books. Thank you for sharing with us! I'm definitely adding "The Righteous Mind" to my list of to-reads!
Ali’s videos about books and kindles are my absolute favorite.
I don't how to say this but videos like yours that are straightforward and cut into sections are the best it keeps me interested and not get bored I wish everyone do it like this.
I've been binge watching your videos doc! I think it improved my vocabulary just by listening to you. On top of that, I learn a lot of life skills! Excited to download some of your recommendations!
My favorite type of videos.. Happy holidays, everyone!
Quarantine is definitely helping me read more, thank you for these suggestions, looking forward to adding some of these to my list!

Finally found something Ali is bad in: describing fiction books: Sounds lame and stayed till 4 am reading it!
🤣🤣🤣
So true 😂
My favorite part on your channel where you talk about books! Looking forward to more book club videos and just subscribed to your newsletters, happy holidays!
Thanks Ali for helping me finding my next audible books :)
“Fantasy is like just the best genre” YAAAAAAS😁💖💖💖💖💖
If this channel was a book, *Ali Abdaal would be on the top 15 list*
This was an excellent video, and nice choice of background music. Keep up the good work as always!
Ali this video is golden! Love it! Thank you!
I appreciate your insights and recommendations Ali! These sound very interesting. Happy New Year!
Absolutely fascinating, thank you!🙏🏻
On your suggestion, I read MistBorn and I am COMPLETELY hooked. Just listened to the audiobook by GraphicAudio uploaded by someone on RUclips.
Already completed The Well Of Ascension (part 2) with a binge session yesterday night 😂
I love how not a lot of Book Club-Books aren't mentioned. You're really amazing Ali. And all are super cool books, would definitely read them as we enter into 2021. Merry Christmas and Happy New Year. ❤️
This was a books review I didn't know I needed. Thank you!
it is a pleasure to watch you videos. I can practicing my listening here as well as many other skills and knowledge. Thank you Ali 😊
You're the best thank you for inspiring me! I am really impressed by the way you have time to read all these books. Just downloaded half of them to read during the Christmas break. You have a beautiful mind, stay cool
Do u downlaod or buy them?
Thanks Ali! I just started Matthew Dicks’s Storyworthy and got to his Homework for Life assignment. His Tedtalk of the same assignment topic is inspiring and I will start working on it. Thanks for sharing!
The Wheel of Time is one of my go to fantasy series for rereads. I have also read Elantris(loved that and feel it’s underrated) and Mistborn era 1(also super good). Just finished the first book (Alloy of Law) in the second Mistborn era and it definitely stands on it own
yes! this video came out at such a convenient time. I'm just about to buy new books to read. thanks Ali :)
The righteous mind is a master piece, but the way you summarised(taste buds example). Ufff, Loved it!!
Without a doubt I'm adding most of this books to my reading list in kindle. Merry Christmas to yall!
Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year!
Awesome video. Thanks brother
Seeing as you enjoyed War Doctor I would really recommend your read Moving Mountains by Claire Bertshinger. Claire was a nurse for the International Red Cross/Crescent movement. The main focus of the book is around her experiences in Ethiopia during the 1984 famine. She was the nurse who inspired the Live Aid relief programme. It also discusses her experiences in Afganisation, Sudan and so on.
I'm watching this in the start of 2022. Let's hope the new year stays good.
Always look forward to your videos, you're the best Ali!
I am subscribed to 3 RUclipsrs only and you are one of them. Absolutely brilliant content.
VERY INSIGHTFUL!! Love this ALI!! 😊
Already got many of these as I trust your recommendations. Thanks Ali. Happy New Year.
As usual, your videos are wonderful. I know I speak for many people here by saying you have a tremendously positive impact on our lives!
Thank you for making this one! Will help me loads :)
Hey Ali,
First of all merry Christmas. One day I watched your active recall tip video. And during my university I went from 1.3 GPA to 4.0 GPA thank you for that
90% of my kindle is filled with books Ali recommends and I dont regret a bit.
What a brilliant list, I'm going to read almost all of these I reckon. Thank You!
Great content Ali!!
Ali is the guy who got me into self help! So thankful to him for that 🙌🏾

When do you read books over audiobooks Ali?
He said that he listen to audiobooks while in car going to work.
While driving mostly, he has said tht in many of his day in the life videos!
@@confused.cat. But how does he decide which to listen to and which to read?
@@twilywily I don't know, he didn't mentioned about that.
Ali I found your channel recently and your How to study videos are really helpful . Became topper in my High school
Great collection! Thanks for sharing )
Thank you so much. Ali
omg every time you said it sounded lame I was so intrigued by the description of the book!! I'm definitely gonna pick some of these up/listen to some too thank u
Him talking about fantasy is such a mood though 😅
Yup😸
I'm currently listening to a very interesting book called "Flow: The Psychology of Optimal Experience" by Mihaly Csikszentmihaly. The book is the result of his research of flow, or being "in the zone", where you are enjoying a certain activity so much that you lose track of time. He describes how the state of flow can be cultivated and, by that, how we can enjoy our work, everyday activities, relationships, live more intentionally and immersed, and generally have a more fulfilling life. Thought I'd share my book recommendation here as well 📖
Great book 👌
One of my favourite books ever. I second this recommendation!
Finished it recently ! It's a great book ! I recommend the TED talk as well.
Thank you for telling.. I will surely read
And can u suggest more books.. Give more books name.. Please
Ali you're not hiding that Fifty Shades from us.
He is crystal clear
Really well edited video - well done mr editor whoever you are
Did you read my mind? Thanks for this video Ali.
Nice selection, thank you Ali
Enjoyed your book list recommendations. I plan on checking many of them out.
I really enjoy your videos! You are great Ali
Ali every video you do is great !
Loved your recommendations, Ali! I'm already checking out A million miles in a thousand years and the Wheel of time series. :D
just loving that your intro is 10 seconds
The fastest i have ever subscribed to both a YT channel and newsletter!!!!!!
Good advices. Thank you!
I just Got into this incredible & interested Channel. Honestly, all the Books you have recommended are truly wonderful, mann. I like to read, but I don't have any interest in reading. I get tired so fast, and it's not because I don't like it, but because I don't have much feeling anymore. I believe this Channel would help me a much better! You're absolutely doing a great job.
Cheers bro.
RESPECT 🙌
I am just into the first book in the Wheel of Time. Almost jumped out when you said you've read it! Love it, so good. Like a marriage of HP and LOTR for me.
I just came across your channel. What great recommendations! I’ll definitely check out some of these books and more of your content.
Definitely gonna read some of these books while the holiday season is still here.
I'm so Happy you have read the Wheel of Time. Such an underrated epic fantasy series.
Great video man...👍👍
This video is legitimately huge. I have to break it into few pieces and watch it separately. Now is my third time continue watching this.
Great video - thanks
