    In this talk, Tai Lopez reminds us that everyone wants the good life, but not everyone gets the good life because not everyone is willing to do what it takes.

      When you see people dressed like that you should ask yourself, why do they do that?
      and the answer is:
      because their achievements and/or skills talk for them not their outfits. They don't need to fit in with the rest, and probably don't want to either.

    I’ve been a bookworm since childhood. It still is one of my fave ways of exploring. I was always fascinated by the power of language and how words are used to impact people.
    I was awed by the way authors played with words to express their beliefs and ideas, not just to describe events.
    I sincerely believe that reading does help you broaden your horizon but you shouldn’t rely on books only (like many people do). The best way is to try, test, do mistakes, try again, go through lessons and experiences of life. Especially when it comes to books around business & mindset.
    I’ve noticed that nowadays many people read for the sake of showing off. Or they read a ton of books for the sake of ticking it of the list. This knowledge is worth nothing if you’re not applying it.
    Reading books for the sake of reading? Not my thing.
    Read books not out of FOMO (fear of missing out) just because someone recommended you a great book.
    I used to read A LOT of books and always thought it was a good thing.
    I was trying to absorb maximum knowledge because I thought only that way I will be able to change something in my life. The reason was lack of confidence in my own powers.
    I was trying to fill the emptiness within by borrowing someone else’s experience.
    But the best experience comes from living your own path, exploring yourself & your strengths.
    Go out and try things.
    Do things your way.
    Even if it’s not mentioned in the books.
    Test it out. If it doesn’t work, that’s an experience to remember.
    What if it does work though?

    I mainly watched this whole talk because I was waiting for the part where he talks about reading a book a day. Then when he finally gets to that part, you find out that he, in fact, does not read a book a day, rather he kind of skims a book a day to see if there's anything in it that he deems important. Basically, this was a platform for his ego and I really didn't learn anything.

    🎯 Key Takeaways for quick navigation:
    00:00 🏆 Mentors have the power to transform your life and are more powerful than you can imagine.
    06:22 📚 Books are hidden treasures; treat them like friends and read them repeatedly to gain valuable insights.
    10:16 🤝 The Law of 33%: Spend time with people lower than you (to mentor), on your level (to form friendships), and 10x ahead (to learn and grow).
    11:44 😌 Humility is essential for success; even successful people like Sam Walton remained humble and open to learning.
    13:08 🔍 Perseverance is key; successful people like Bill Gates and Sam Walton faced challenges but persevered on their paths to success.

      Reading is necessary but not sufficient condition for success. A book a day it is too much to process unless you are a full-time student that you have the availability to study 8 hours a day like I did when I was at university. If you run a business or have a full-time job, you can Schedule 1 hour early in the morning to read, use all dead time that you might have for commuting or waiting for appointments to read and finally 1 or 2 hours in the evening before bed. This realistic approach gives you an average of one or two books a week depending on the length and complexity. Additionally, reading in a foreign language like English in my case, needs a little more processing time than in my native Spanish. I don't know how many native English speakers are able to read fluently in another language, but it takes some years of intense reading practice to hardly feel the difference. Finally, I learn on CZcams, it is not the same, but I am always looking for trends and reading options, so I spend 30 minutes a day during workdays and 2 hours on weekends. If we followed straightforward lots of the recommendations on this platform, all CZcamsrs with self-development content, would need to find another Job.

      Exercise and the Brain I don’t know of Dr. Larry, but I’m listening to him now that you mentioned him. I’m actually a student at Southern baptist theological Seminary. The western tradition is steeped in natural law and natural law is steeped in metaphysical assumptions. The good must extend beyond self. Tai wants to assume the understanding of good, while divorcing it from “who” the good is. He is endorsing autonomy and relativity which is inconsistent. To tell someone they should read and then go telling them that reading is good for relative and preferential reasons fails to give reasons for why others should read. He would do better to talk about why he reads. Which is silly to give a formal speech about when the reasons are this shallow.

    • @averyparks179
      @averyparks179 Před 3 lety +1

      Exercise and the Brain which is exactly why he connects “the good life” with reading while having a shallow understanding of that “the good life is”. Who you read is more important than “just reading”.

When you think about it from a psychological perspective it make sense though, generally when people become successful others will try to bring them down to their level, so will use anything they can find to do that, this comment section is a classic example of that.

Obviously if you read a book from someone very knowledgeable you could glean some of the knowledge that helped them be successful. As for "Toughen up" Once you start getting comfortable with something you'll stagnant and never venture out of your comfort zone. He never said "don't really read it" he said to read the most important part of the book. I don't understand why there is so much hate in the comments. He is giving good advice.

      ***** Not every business is a scam though is it? Personally I think there's more reward in creating something of value. By his own admission, giving is what makes one feel good not taking. I guess that's what he perceives his book club to be or so he thinks. He's basically selling a get smart quick scheme to the desperate masses and I see little value in that. "You must read more, I read a book a day". I've never witnessed someone so inarticulate whilst having supposedly read so much.

They use all stupid methods - telling you the spots for the course are limited, that their fantastically generous offer actually costs 3 times more, but they will give you this special price only because you found them trough Tai Lopez. Also Tai Lopez approach is aggressive - he sends a loads of emails every day, recommending different guys with different offers - books, courses etc.
