You can go anywhere in the world by reading. You can feel, see, hear anything at all just by reading. Reading is the best way to relax and to acquire information because it exercises the brain and builds your brain's muscles, consequently giving you a better brain. I must cover a book/reading topic on my channel soon. It's quite an important topic I see.
What are some of the viewers favorite books to read? My are 1. Resilience by Eric Greitens 2. Ego is the Enemy by Ryan Holiday 3. Mindfulness If this post gets 25 likes I’ll make my first CZcams book review on my top pick!
Great stuff, Theodore! I've learned so much through reading and I've seen many of the benefits that you explain. What I love about reading is that it is like stepping into the mind of the author. They are able to give as much value as they see fit and you have access to it all. I haven't read many fiction books, but one of my favorites is The Alchemist. There's so much great information in it regarding success and the journey that we go throughout life. I mostly read non-fiction books like yourself because of how much value is jam-packed into them. Thanks for the video, Theodore!
I love reading. I think most people need to increase their reading time since this would open their ideas about the world and become better rounded people.
Thanks for the video, Practical Psychology. It sure feels good to know how much can be obtained through reading. I'm also a Non-Fiction reader, so I particularly appreciate your take on this topic. Keep up the good work!
I've recently picked up the habit of simultaneously working through a fiction book and a non-fiction at the same time. Alternating every few chapters/sections back and forth with a short break in between. It is definitely one of the better habits I've picked up.
Would anyone be interested if I made a video summarizing the Intelligent Investor? I can maybe do one investing book summary per month, so let me know if there are others you want.
This would be great, i am a German and it is pretty Hard for me to Go through this book because the language is not so simple and the german Translation is realy Bad
Michael Jay - Value Investing, you should really help out Shivam Gangwar. You just earned yourself a new subscriber, if only my channel was about investing.
This channel is way better than the other I watched before that calling fiction books unnecessary. Thank you to mention both fiction and non-fiction are good.
I completely agree. I started my channel doing book summaries and reviews to encourage people to read. I purposely don’t give it all away in my summaries. I want people to read, then come back for my review to hear my opinions and to give me theirs.
Though I was off sick from work 5 years ago (severe burnout), it was also the best time for me. Not only was I able to use that opportunity as a learning experience to help take care of myself, but I also ended up reading about 65 books within 2 months (fiction, up to 450 pp).
This is great, a lot of psychologists have found that there is a huge overlap between the influence that reading fiction and playing video games or watching movies or theater can have. They all can induce flow and have an impact on your beliefs and help imagine through a variety of social situations. Puzzle games on the computer can even increase your IQ. I'm definitely pro-books, but I think we should all keep it in perspective and take in a variety of media in an appropriate balance.
But while you should eat healthy diet food, it won't be as healthy if you *only* eat those. We need fiction in our lives too, as much as we need reality.
Sawbucks23 nice job! I have read over 60 since the summer of 2017. I have finished 25 already in 2019, and my goal is a minimum of 48 before January 2020. God willing I will do it! I am 31, and I think I had fully read maybe 5 books the first 29 years of my life. If I read, it was for school, and I would just skim over things to get it done. I love reading now!
That’s exactly what happened to me! I’m 25 and I have recently become obsessed with reading! My regret is that I didn’t see the beauty and power of reading in my younger years :/ did you achieve your 2020 goal?
@@adauleh3820 Good job! I was older when I was into reading and I felt like I missed out. If I had read some financial books while still in high school. I would have been rich by now.
I don't read as many physical books as I used to, but I DO run through audio books. Lol. I've done 4-5 books in 1 week. All of them being at least 6hrs+. I'm currently on "A Man For All Markets" By Edward O. Thorp. It's an amazing audio book that truly has me hooked but be aware its almost 17hrs long.......I only have 3.5hrs left until I'm done 😉🙏 Oh yea Btw Great Video!
You may not respond but, I love reading as well, but the internet is what stops me, so this summer vacation, I'm planning to get a better brain by reading every book I want as I can and improve my language (not saying I was born in another country, I notice I mispronounce things). Improve my memory and get healthy. 10 benefits of reading: 1. Improves memory 2. Improves smartness 3. Increases focus 4. Changes mood slowly 5. Improves vocabulary, typing, and pronouncing words 6. Releases stress, anxiety, and depression 7. Reading becomes a hobby, daily routine 8. Become more knowledgable 9. Taking into another world, escapism 10. Reading is good
my average the last 6 month been around 57 pages per day. not turned into a demi-God but atleast it feels really nice to go to bed at 8 PM to read some.
I totally agree with you.I have read The Da Vinci Code,Count of Monte Cristo,The Miserables or Mr. Lecoq,those books were so good and productive for me so that while&after reading,i felt better and happier.On the other side,when i had in my hands books like War&Peace or Crime&Punishment,the things weren t the same,too much poor reality and philosophy in random things and i struggled myself to finish them,books about fiction are great ,at least to me,maybe it s a thing just like the tastes in music,movies or fashion but even everyone around me told me that those russian novels are piece of art,for me were simply sleeping pills,my neuronal connections were off.
@@sisina_sie5010 actually there are apps that have eye protecting light emitter... Like for example, Anybook app has that. Actually i read with actual books between my hands, it make me feel there warmth 💕
Definitely into books, i can read all day, love it. Everyone should read, it improves the imagination etc. Great video. Have to admit i stick to fiction.
That's why I read over 225 books now. Gonna to continue to read to better me. I have Autism so I have my reasons. So far Improving each book I've read.
In the past I didn't really like X-Men that much but after reading Chris Claremont's 1980's Uncanny X-Men run, I got to witness the trauma and internal conflict the group had to endure to continue their legacy and mission. I was impressed on how humanely the characters were written as opposed to a 1 dimensional cookie-cutter plot. This isn't about bad guy vs good guy anymore, it's about the public's bias against mutantkind and the X-Men's struggles to preserve the peaceful notion that the X-Men promotes. Thanks to Claremont's talented writing skills, we have emotionally expressive characters having to deal with the consequences of their actions when a situation is poorly reacted to, the impact it has on the group is a very satisfying read and I'm glad I had a chance to experience the story first-hand. I can 100% call myself an X-Men fan now.
When people think non-fiction they think of science-related or history-related books that may be too technical for them to get into, but the last non-fiction book I read was an autobiography: 'Bossypants' by Tina Fey. But the focus should NOT be on non-fiction books, and not just books either. Newspapers lend perspective, graphic novels provide visuals which enhance the immersive quality of stories, and blogs reflect an individual's values and allow you to appreciate what the general public may consider "mundane", etc.
Mind controls not only the body but also the soul. It's true reading non-fictional books are important as they seem very practical to be successful in life.
When I started reading people kept telling me that I should stop readung fiction because it will rot my brain and blah blah blah. That I should read books that will help me.
They know nothing, lol just ignore them. I've researched many real-life things, because I learnt about them in fiction books. I also read non-fiction as well.
I read mainly fiction but I'd love to read a nonfiction but what would you recommend? I do enjoy ww2 stories so if you know a good nonfiction ww2, I'll check it out.

Fantastic presentation. much love
Can only agree to all of those points. If only I had that attitude towards reading when I was 8 years old.
Funny thing about tip #4, I actually feel like I'm better at conversations about deep/serious topics than I am with small talk
I can't even imagine being better at small talk than deep conversations. I usually find small talk forced or boring.

Fiction is like the normal food ... And Non-fiction is like healthy diet food ..... Books from school are the Junk Food.
great comparison
But while you should eat healthy diet food, it won't be as healthy if you *only* eat those.
We need fiction in our lives too, as much as we need reality.

I've read extreamly great books in school. I just finished the book 1984 in class. one of the best and most important books I've ever read in my live.

Better listening though visual processing of words are lacked skills plus its still then just playing kids mundane videogames
I've always wanted to read The Count of Monte Cristo, so I picked it up today. It's a brick but I'm not deterred. I'm enjoying it already.
