"It's not about how many books you go through, it's about how many books go through you"
" it's not always about knowing what to do, it's about doing what you know "
Totally agree. If a book awakes emotions within you, you're into the right book.
I agree!.
Best quote ever!
Paper doesn’t have a great taste though, not gonna lie
Not quite. Novels bring you joy even if they're not useful for your daily life and even if you can't implement them in a real context. Reading widens your vocabulary, strengthens your imagination and teaches you general knowledge.
Of course. He didn't specified it, but he refers to self help/personal growth books
Well, he did say most of the time, not all the time...
Yeah I guess Animal Farm, 1984 and Fahrenheit 451 are just novels that bring you joy. Not educational at all
@@Jays_dead_cat note that david said "even if". he never refuted the fact that novels can be practically educational, just pointed out that there are side benefits to reading fiction that aren't just immediately applicable tools, so reading novels can have benefits outside of andrew's advice in the video. however i think signor hit the nail on the head by pointing out that andrew was most likely referring to the genre of self-help nonfiction, whose prose will likely not be bringing anyone joy or dramatically expanding imagination and vocabulary.
The few times I have read fiction books, they definitely were easy to read and the stories were easier to remember. Have not really spent much time recently reading fiction though. Most of my recent reading has been either self-help or to gain new insights from experts on particular subject matters.
The real title of the video should have been:
"Don't read another self-help nonfiction book until you watch this".
Damnit, I just saw a book titled "Don't watch another youtube video until you read this!". What should I do?
That actually sounds like a real book...
If you saw the book title already, you already failed by watching this video lmao
Wow! That’s creative if you ask me😂
Paradox
🤣🤣🤣🤣
This is so true. I remember I tried to read the book "Refuse to choose" by Barbara Sher because a friend of mine told me it was life changing. The problem is that I wasn't interested in the topic of the book at all. Indeed it took me over 2 months to read a 280 pages book that I now barely remember. On the other hand I decided to start the book "Unscripted" by M. J. DeMarco because I was genuinely interested in the topic and I really enjoyed it, his words were like a gold waterfall flowing into my brain and I finished the book in 2 days because I couldn't stop reading... that book have 420 pages.
Great book. He tells it like it is.
420
I can smoke to that
So true!
Damn, I have to read "Unscripted".. been on my reading list for a while.
I feel like this video is about non-fiction books only, this probably should be mentioned in a vid.
I think so too. It's more the self-help type of books in particular. There are many different genres of books, and so many different ways to read them all. :)
yo i’m 15 nd could you give me some good non fiction books i can read in my spare time?
Thank you,I agree!.
@@rameztwal8424 Here’s some good ones: How to win friends and influence people by Dale Carnegie.Rich Dad,Poor Dad by Robert Kiyosaki.Don’t sweat the small stuff,by Richard Carlson.How to own your own mind,by Napoleon Hill.The Magic of Believing by Claude Bristol.These five would be a great start for you.If you need more,let me know,I have a lot more but these are a great start and good luck.You never go wrong if you read these books and good luck!.💯✌️
@@rameztwal8424 Get a blinkist account, you can read or listen to the main points of non fiction books in 10 or 15 minutes each. I used to read non fiction and most of them spend 300 pages for a concept or ideas that could have been explained in a blog post. Its a much better use of time and i learn allot more. Good luck.
Yes!!!! Reading is one of the best gifts we can give ourselves. We can learn just about anything through reading ♥️
@@mohak1990y Good luck, sir.
@@mohak1990y good will hunting ,sir
Reading in the internet. Yeah best gift.
I read every day lol
I’ve read 5 books in January already
I've literally read my whole library back when I was a kid. I've certainly read more than anybody I know. All of those were fantasy books and the amount of books who "went through me" is probably marginal. Nonetheless I'm eloquent af in my mother tongue, I've not seen a word I didn't know the meaning of more than once a year after 5th grade and my writing and reading comprehension were always miles above my peers. Yes this time could've been spent reading "better" books but just reading fantasy bs as leisure is going to do your brain massive good anyways. Not everything has to be productive and pinpointed to a goal all the time.
Can u tell us how u memorize what u read plsss
@@lemhidrift6020 if I've understood an underlying concept it just sticks with me tbh. I sometimes use the Feynman methot when I think it's too complex at first. I just explain to my gf what I've read about so she can understand it without reading the book. If I come to a halt I look it up again until I know what I'm talking about. She does the same with books she liked a lot. Honestly the simpler you can explain a concept the easier it sticks with you. I often get the feeling that people read books and repeat facts they read without really understanding what they are talking about. If you just thought you got it you'll forget it easily but if you really understand a concept it will stick with you forever.
@@magicmerls291 same, my writing and reading comprehension are miles ahead of my peers. I love fantasy so much, I don't care if people make fun of me, or say that I'm reading useless books. "Fiction reveals truth that reality obscures.” Albert Camus
@@magicmerls291 what are your favorite fiction books? :)
we have books at home but it's not a fancy book it's not popular either. Should i read it? I have fictional books here...
I always invest in books. Fearlessly. I love it when authors say things like "this took me 15 years to realize". It just took ME 15 dollars.
hahaha good one
Remember to maintain a good posture when reading
I read book while clipping my toe nails.

Reading books made me extremely racist
@@Kerm88 what the fuck, bro
Stopped reading my book to watch this video.
Information makes sense.
Gotta continue to read my book now.
Littered throughout this video Andrew makes claims such as “most books give you the 80/20 of its content in the first chapter”, “you should feel urgency when you’re reading books” and to try to “drive up the speed of audiobooks” without any arguments to support them. He commonly makes these types of claims as if they were derived a priori. The problem with this, as well as the content of all these other CZcamsrs who are so enthralled with the notions of hyper-productivity, output, and efficiency that famously pervade American culture and now ever-increasingly the rest of the first world is that they fail to consider the possibility that there are more ways to live one’s life than to start your day off time-boxing every 5 minutes of your 16 waking hours with optimized workflows and maximum output as if one’s a carbon-based machine learning algorithm.
Similarly, there are more ways than one to establishing a relationship with books, and constructing a prescriptive list for people on how they should approach books is ironically an unwise thing to do in my opinion.
As far as I can tell for these productivity CZcamsrs, 90% of their libraries are only composed of self-help books, and they by in large all read the same exact thing. The predictable outcome is that they all form a conceptual framework on the nature of books that comically fails to consider every single other genre of books that exists.
Literature is almost never mentioned and non-fiction doesn’t seem to exist for them. Reading for pleasure is an idea outrightly ignored because it clashes with the drive to squeeze the productivity out of everything. If you’re reading books on history or mythology, there are no 80/20 life hacks. Books on philosophy often ask the reader to slow down even further than their normal reading speed and to ponder the book with much time, with which one’s thoughts may evolve with multiple rereadings, rather than speeding up and posting your final summary on Notion. There are many other examples of approach that failed to be considered. There is simply no nuance in these videos, unfortunately.
Just some constructive criticism. I am actually a fan of Andrew, Thomas Frank, and all those other guys. I have the instinct and temperament to quantify everything as well, but that can be just as illusory as viewing life in a binary of compulsory efficiency vs wrongful inefficiency, which is the moral framework we are now all prescribed in the 21st century where CEOs and entrepreneurs posture themselves as the authentic deliverers of wisdom.

Well said
Agreed, well said
I agree.
Hot take and totally agree actually.
"employ your time in improving yourself by other mens writings, so that you shall gain easily what others have laboured hard for"...... Socrates
Well, shit. I just bought "Don't watch another video until you read this book" on amazon. Now i'm screwed.
I spent so much time reading 'the classics' and the 'bestsellers' and then realized I liked the books I read in middle school (a lot of Percy Jackson, Ranger's Apprectice, and trashy sci fi) better so now I read that instead.
Totally makes sense. When you pick a book/habit you don't like, you basically self-sabotage. Do yourself a favor and pick something you can enjoy that has a good deal of carryover into a major goal of yours and do that! Everything else means slow and painful progress
"You are experiencing someone else's lifetime" will be a fascinating mindset for me to enter Star Wars: Thrawn with.
I'm listening to this video 2x speed: I think it was worth it.
I've been beating myself up for collecting more books than I actually read, not knowing what good it could actually bring.
i'm a freshman in high school and i bought a book in the beginning of middle school but didn't read it until now. thought it would be boring or childish (i prefer more mature books) but it really wasn't. it was truly magical. go read!!
Overall, I really liked the video, but as someone who actually has a learning disorder I feel that the comparison of forcing yourself to read as "giving" yourself a learning disability was in poor taste.
this
yeah it definitely could've been worded in a better way
Nah. I think the statement is fitting and quite apt actually.
There's no functional difference between one who cannot integrate information due to innate characteristics and one who cannot integrate information due to process or error of action ( ie. Reading books one is uninterested in)
@@kingcrocbbc6730 but there is a functional difference. the person without a learning disorder could just choose to modify their process. they are not giving themselves a learning disorder. perhaps it would be better put as inhibiting themselves in the same way that those with a learning disorder are inhibited.
I respectfully disagree. I read about 6 hours a day, and I love every moment of it, because I feel bigger after learning something difficult. But the thing is, I dont read books that arent technical in nature. Im a programmer, robotics engineer and technology nerd in general, and all the books I read are about protocols, design patterns, in depth reference of a language, data streaming technologies, deep learning, astronomy, visual graphics, game design, computer vision, and many more. But each an every single chapter of the books I read taught me something, and sometimes the concepts are so awesome that I end up reading a whole book again. I know for most people reading a lot is not good, but in my case, reading makes me feel like Im evolving, things I thought were difficult years ago, are totally easy now. And I excercise a lot every single day, sometimes I read while exercising. I feel like I have superpowers, and the best part is that every single day I get better. I get shivers just thinking how im gonna be in a year from now. I think that we totally underestimate the real power of the human body. Just look at the placebo effect. Its a proof that our body is way more capable than we think it is. Dont underestimate yourself, you have only one chance of living. Why not try to be better every single day and see where life takes you? for me, its been an awesome journey, and Im just starting.
Can you recommend me good books on technology/ programming/ robotics/ visual graphics/AI /etc? Thanks in advance.
@@chinares of course! The thing you have to really understand to learn anything is that you have to master the fundamentals. After you have done that, learning is a fun experience. I advice you to have a solid understanding of math, an excelent book (and maybe one of the most important books ive read in my entire life) is Discrete Mathematics and its Applications by Kenneth H. Rosen
. Read everything, and I mean eveything. The preface, the intro chapter, the guides, everything. And also solve all the problems you can, at least half of them. You will realize that this is kinda hard at the begining, but once you make a habbit of it you will notice your brain can do a lot more than you think it can. Then, you will know which book you can read next, but anything related to AI or robotics would be easy for you. At least, it has been like this for me. And something that most people doesnt know is that I have been a really drunk idiot for most of my life. My teenage years, wasted on parties and alcohol. Im no fucking genius, thats why im pretty fucking sure that If i did it, anyone can.
@@elultimopujilense I am so sorry for not being clear here , I should have mentioned that I am a Computer Science student. It’s my first year, I have read Rosen’s book, it was our textbook for the first semester. It’s just I am lost as if what to do next. Where to get information. What kind of books to read.... I have interest but I do not know where to start...
@@chinares dude that is great! You are in the path of success, as someone with years of practice in varios technology fields, I can be sure that learning complex topics is actually the onty way of being a giant. Now that I know you have pretty advance understanding of math, I think you can confidently tackle this couple books:
1) Linear Algebra and Optimization with Applications to Machine Learning: Volume I: Linear Algebra for Computer Vision, Robotics, and Machine Learning
2) Linear Algebra and Optimization with Applications to Machine Learning: Volume II: Fundamentals of Optimization Theory with Applications to Machine Learning
Those books are just the very best books ive seen on the topic, and I am not even close of finishing them. After you read them, learning any framework or technique would be a matter of just a few days. If you still have a thirst for knowledge (and im sure you will) you can check out this book:
Theory of computer science: Automata Languages and Computation. That book is kinda old but its well worth the read.
@@elultimopujilense Thank you so- so much.
"It's not about how many books you go through; it's about HOW MANY BOOKS GO THROUGH YOU."
Now THAT is deep
1 - Forced Reading
2 - Reading the wrong thing
3- Most peeps don't read after graduation
4 - Reading only bestsellers
5 - Just in time vs just in case*
6 - Pareto principle to books
7 - Racing through books*
8 - Read for implementation & understanding*
9 - Buying books only after finishing
10 - Thinking books are expenses when it's an investment
11 - Focusing on wrong activity while reading like highlighting
12 - Read AND Listen
I grabbed a best Dating book, I went through it. I finished reading this book last 2 months back . But am still single . You know why? I didn't took any action on information mentioned from dating book. In this book , author precisely mentioned to go out and approach girls as much as possible. But I didn't. I just read book , ideas presented in that book made me excited, i grabbed a cup of coffee and and I kept it back to my wardrobe. That's it. Nothing happened. Am still single broken guy.. So here is my takeaway, no matter how many books u read, u must go out and try and take action. Do something about your idea/information. Execute, fail, fall, get critics, ..That's how u progress. Anyway am i start to approch girls from this new year 2021. Wish me good luck guys 😉😀
"It's about how many books go through you" 😳
Lol dude
Lol
Bruh!
Pause
He runs this channel super smart, making this a video series encourages watching all the other ones right then and there= high engagement and watch time.
Also when he publishes privated videos per link viewers feel like it's some exclusive knowledge and don't want to miss out.
Make videos about strategies for running a CZcams channel pls.
Yo, that JIT va JIC metaphor is eye opening
#Fact
Ur timing is perfect, thx alot
Choosing what to read:
- Don't force yourself to read; you shouldn't have to force yourself to read; but rather can't put the book down
- Read books you are excited about
- Wisdom is how you get from where you are now to where you want to be; make a few high leveraged decision for massive impact
- Knowledge compounds far quicker than $$
- It's fun and fulfilling-the mind loves learning
- Reading rewires the brain grooves in your brain to make better decisions
- Value=how well the book gets from where you are now to where you want to be
- JIT: Just in time vs JIC Just in case
- Read books targeted to specific issues or problems: so that you can apply the info and you'll be excited-better retention
When reading:
- Opportunity cost of your time: Just because something is good or productive doesn't mean it's the best & highest use of your time; what else could you be doing? eg housework!
- Don't commit to reading the book till the end; most books should be blog posts🙂
- If you've got the concept, move on
- Racing through books; quality vs quantity; how many books GO THROUGH YOU?
- Read without implementing=huge mistake
- Only reading one book at a time
- Tsundoku=having more books than you'll ever read
- Keeps you humble, keeps you excited
- Limited amount of time=have urgency about unread books
- Fill up your life with books!
- Books are an investment not an expensive
- Read for understanding first
- Reading vs listening: do both at separate times (of the same book); audio plus visual learning
- Deep learning / deep reading
- Increase the speed of playback if possible; even if your comprehension drops you will learn faster
- Listen just past your comfort zone=serious learning
- Listen to Ted talks/videos/summaries FIRST before reading!
- 80/20 rule
- Read only if you are still excited about learning more
I'm 16 and I've been watching your videos since I was 14 (so I saw the channel blow up). As a poor kid in a third world country you've been one of my saviors that have helped me develop and become a better person! Greatness to us🙌🏿
I like to listen to audiobooks because it's like listening to an interesting podcast while doing something else at the same time.
Reading and listening to the same book simultaneously is such a great idea! Thanks
summary " read only when you need to deep dive in topic and when you are excited".
my concerns and doubts on reading has been answered here.. i am so grateful that i found this youtube channel , thank you so much
1. If you're reading a classic work and it's hard going, that usually means you are provoking your limits. To extend your limits (increase understanding, increase level of being) you have to provoke your limits. 2. Books reside in a hierarchy. Think of a mountain. Genre type books are at the base of the mountain; the greatest classics are at the summit. The higher up the mountain the more rare the books are and usually the more effort of attention is needed to engage them. Many mystery novels, few epic poems. 3. Some books contain language like higher visual language, or even if it's just concepts and words, that once you have it in you you are able to see and know things you couldn't see or know without having that new language in you. This means some books you just have to read on faith that it is above you. If you put value only in what entertains you or holds your interest you will miss this.
A Young man with such a great knowledge of analysing information. i really appreaciate your videos just like you said we gain knowledge of a life time in just a few hours by exploring books that really interest us in our current situation.
Choose one :
Most Productive and valueable on this planet
Or
Most happy and satisfied
I choose both, being happy and satisfied is the most productively valuable thing on this planet.
Neither both are absolutely absurd
@@anmolpatel793 In a reality of that perspective i have no doubt that these values are out of grasp.
@@tobiasdontmatter1868 show me any person who has actually attained them and not just faking it selling CZcams courses
@@anmolpatel793 Aaron Abke. Enjoy my friend. It’s not about changing your actions it’s about changing your perception.
With the right perception, the right actions will naturally follow.
Absolutely fantastic. If you ever notice some people read a bunch of books but their life is just basic. Than there are some highly successful who have only read maybe 20 books there whole life.
I disagree. Reading books helps you learn about new topics. Books feed you knowledge. They also teach you vocabulary and language skills. From books you can learn communications skills. Yes, there are successful people who don’t read books but I don’t think it’s fair for you to say that all people who read are basic.
Also it’s « then », not « than »
A channel called “productivity game” summarizes books if it helps anyone.
Thank you!!
I'll check it out right now, thanks!
Enkosi (thank you) ✌️✌️
Awesome, thank you!!!
Thanks💗
thanks. the biggest one for me was not reading just to read and read books as you need them and stop reading if its boring. i tend to lose interest in the fluff of the book and skim through it until something is interesting. I thought this was bad but im glad its not.
Read what you know will be beneficial to you. Sometimes self help just turns into shelf help if it’s of no interest😆
I think reading gets far more credit than listening to a podcast or audiobook. Reading requires u to sit down, while listening to podcasts or audiobooks u can get the same knowledge in a faster amount of time while doing other things such as driving.
I do exactly what andrew said at the last. Listening and visualising the same information, gets you the chance of double probability of understanding and remembering the data 💯
hey I wonder, in a book I am reading the audiobook and the book itself are not the exact same information? I don't understand, am I missing something? It is about "Relentless" by Tim Grover
To add another point to section 2 is try and read books faster.
There are various tips that can improve your reading speeds example:
Pace yourself
Using your finger (This stops you from reading a line again and also paces you)
Visualise more (Helps with memory and reading speed)
Use your natural saccade (Jerky eye movement) to read
Use your peripheral vision
Every morning I write down 5 things I’m grateful for. Today, Andrew Kirby made the list. Thanks for your hard work.
Giving curiosity in the right direction is the key
I can't with this guy's voice. It's so soothing and gives me chills and I love it.
My YT is filled with so many productive people, every title on my home page be like ‘How I study 10 hours a day’ or, how this helped me form a business. Why can’t we just have fun?
I feel that increase in speed causes increases in focus as well.
I have hyperlexia and I can not even fathom the fallacious belief that people think reading is boring. It’s free knowledge.
I think it's always good to focus on a certain subject while choosing your books, so you can relate concepts of the books to make more connections.
Damn. Never thought of or heard of listening and reading a book at the same time. Sounds trippy tbh.
Reading is a habit that one needs to create. And generally the desire for reading exists in every person, you just have to put yourself into a position to get a book of your interest and to feel that joy of reading good literature.
Nobody :
Me watching this video : dammm he is wise, I wonder where he got all his wisdom from...
Turn up the speed of the audiobook. I turned the video up to 1.25 speed and used subtitles. Thanks for another great video Andrew
You're an excellent butterfly having a great effect on the world. Blessings to you and the good work you're doing, my brother.
Great advice all around. Some I've heard of, others that are new to me, such as reading Just in Case (JiC) vs. reading Just in Time (JiT) and going through TED Talks, Talks at Google and podcats before reading the book to better manage your time.
I have another rule I want to add: alternate between reading new books and old books that are a decade or so old. To quote James Clear: "By default, any good book that is more than 10 years old is filled with life-changing ideas. Why? Because bad books are forgotten after a decade or two. Any lasting book must be filled with ideas that stand the test of time. Meanwhile, the news is filled with fleeting information. We justify paying attention to the media because we think it makes us informed, but being informed is useless when most of the information will be unimportant by tomorrow. The news is just a television show and, like most TV shows, the goal is not to deliver the most accurate version of reality, but the version that keeps you watching. You wouldn’t want to stuff your body with low quality food. Why cram your mind with low quality thoughts?"
jamesclear.com/overrated-underrated
Man you are a Guru. I have involuntarily done this before watching your video. This makes so much sense.
One thing to consider...when I was in college, I didn’t want to read the math books. But I did. Then when I was taking biochemistry, which I love, when intense math came up, I understood it ! So, there are some things we don’t want to read, but AT THE END we are VERY glad we did. Now that I’ve graduated, moving forward, I agree 100% with your logic.
I decided to focus less on music and get back into reading so I decided to start by reading a book series I had already read some years back. Not only do I already like the series but since it's been so long I don't really remember the story so I'll enjoy the surprises all over again.
I'm starting up my 52 books for 2021 in a few weeks, and this video couldn't have been dropped at a better time. Thank you.
That's amazing! What books are on your list?
Great video Andrew! Thanks a ton.
I just picked three books that I'm dying to read: Meditations by Marcus Aurelius, The Daily Stoic by Ryan Holiday, And 12 Rules for life by Jordan Peterson.
nice to hear that not fully reading a book is actually ok
This video couldn't have come at a more perfect time for me, thanks
DUDE I ACTUALLY do some of these things on my own like listening to the audiobook while reading it, reading a certain book when I feel like I'm in the zone to read it and require reading it, having more unread books on me which makes me hungry for knowledge. Thanks for validating some of these things.
But I've also made mistakes. I've forced myself through a book which I lost interest in midway or understood the message just because of the fear of missing out, feeling guilty for not finishing a book and having unread books, reading without implementing.
Thanks Andrew. This video will be really helpful.
Mistake 4: I had seen this in a recent vid.
This week I went shopping for a book and I went to buy a star wars book cuz I like that genre. I looked at the top of the book and saw NYT bestseller i thought of that vid and searched for Meditations by Marcus Aurelius.
Let's just say I'll be learning about stoicism this Christmas.
This video was actually so good I'm probably gonna watch it again.
1. What's the one thing you like most about the personal development niche?
2. What kind of videos would you like to see more on CZcams?
I'm doing a bit of research and I'd appreciate your help.
Thank you so much!
19 year old here. Ever since quarantine I put my life upside down, realizing I deserve better for myself. Your higher self is waiting on you bro, here’s how I did it.
- Lifting every single day, including stretching, yoga and cardio
- read a book a week
- got an internship and work for a purpose (now paid)!
- quit my addiction to weed and porn (+230 SR streak!)
I've even started a youtube channel to spread this internal knowledge we all know of. If you are on the path, my content will remind you why you do what you do. STAY STRONG Y’ALL!
Dude. You’re the best.
Dang.... It took me like... A few days to realize that the 7th day is literally dopamine detox and not a video about dopamine detox for the challenge
BYE I didn't notice this until I read your comment 😭
@SirStukov did he go live somewhere?
really? cause i have been searching too and can't find a video !
I love how your passion seeps through your words as you explain :)
I'm a university student, currently studying business and IT. Despite this I really enjoy reading about physics, astronomy, biology... Even though they don't give me information I can apply in my everyday life I really enjoy reading about these topics, not because they are useful but because they are interesting. I therefore don't really agree with some points you made here
same! I like reading things that I won't necessarily apply to my life just out of curiosity and leisure. I don't agree with some of the points made either. But they make sense if the reason why you want to read is to make reading a super productive habit. To me, not everything I do has to be super productive, but depends on the person I guess.
Taking up reading nowadays with so many distractions around us it's only reasonable you would have a hard time starting. Even great books go beyond us because we don't have the same patience and attention. A book that you can't put down isn't always great, but it may be structured in a way to facilitate binge reading, like extremely small chapters, always ending with cliffhanger etc. So just because a book can be read effortlessly, doesn't make it good.
just started reading books again since childhood and i love it
I'd say that YT is a better use of time than reading. It's free, you go straight to the answer to your question, and you're done in a few minutes
Just in time learning instead of just in case learning is so powerful.
Less mental masturbation, more focused learning.
Books are best read when one is in a stable set of mind, preferably in an secure environment. Having a secure base where you feel the most comfortable is where you should spend your time reading valuable books.
Being happy and relaxed triggers the hippocampus, the area inside your brain responsible for learning, to engage more in the pleasurable activity known as reading.
Reading to acquire an outcome to solve a direct problem / obstacle has always been fruitful for me.
It doesn't matter how many books you go through, it's how many books go through you~Andrew❤️
I also realized that a lot of these self help books can easily be condensed and can be a waste of time to be honest. So I think it's good advice at the end. Also, I have started reading or listening to fiction because reading should be fun and shouldn't be a chore so that I feel productive. I think that will also help me fall in love with reading and that I'll be able to read more non fiction as well.
This is the second time I watch the video. Man, this is pure gold. It’s so good that I’m shocked as with the first time. Keep up the good content!
I read books 14-16 hrs a day I wake up at 5.0 am and sleep at 1 am...sleep 4 hrs for each day I never watch tv just use internet 1/2 hrs each day. This habit made me not being alone, turned into being all alone :)
This man is spreading such amazing wisdom at such a young age!
I'm watching this again and it's just as good second time round. This whole series is incredibly high value content, Andrew. Thank you for giving it to us for free. It's putting it all together that will be most powerful.
This is awesome. What's really awesome is that I have naturally been doing this without realizing it. Thank you for your videos
this man is a genius
Just finished Rich dad Poor Dad & Think And Grow Rich. Can't wait to elevate and see myself as a whole new person!
I love the idea that you don't HAVE to finish a book. I realized this going through "The 4-Hour Work Week." About 100 pages in, I got the idea, and moved on, and actually applied that motivation it gave me. This is real speed reading.
The most important thing I just learnt about books; Reaserch the topic thoroughly on the Internet for free, to find out the most important points of that topic. You will find one author or one book that has everything you need to know about that subject, then, just read that one over and over.
Yes, as a bibliophile I totally agree with what you said, and I have been saying these things to my friends who always tell me that they’re struggling with reading.
Just a note here, I think that you focus more on non-fictional books. In my opinion it’s not good to limit books to the non-fiction genre, because if people are struggling already with reading and they think that books are just those educational ones, for them reading will feel just like studying.
Thank you so much.
This video was JIT - Just in time for me.

When I tell my friends and family that i love books
They keep calling me a nerd and I say "No I'm just mentally unstable and love to run away to a new world because this world is giving me pain"
and then they are like " Your still a nerd"
Wow wow wow. I’ve fall in lots of these mistakes. And I always knew that something was odd. Now I know. Incredible piece of wisdom. Thanks for saving me thousands of hours of wasted time!!
Choose the certain subjects that you are interested, then the enjoyment can occur..this long term practice helped me to read super fast...also good tips from you on this video, thanks!
The first question an intelligent person asks when reading is "What do I intend to do with this information."?
This channel deserve 5star 🌌
I guess that’s true for books that provide information, but for literature, I don’t know if it goes that way. The first book I read myself in English (I’m not a native speaker) was “To kill a Mockingbird”. I remember I really wanted to see what it was about and started reading it. First few days, I forced myself to read one chapter before bed. These 15 minutes felt like an eternity. I barely remembered anything from the book after the chapter, cause I found it so boring I couldn’t keep reading. I eventually finished part one (first 10 chapters) and it had suddenly become a bit more interesting. The one chapter turned to two and the two to three. I was actually starting to look forward to reading the book. One day, before I knew it, the time was 3:00 AM, I had read 10 or so chapters and had finished the book. To this day one of the most amazing reads
Few tips for beginners in literature: Read with some music on. I remember I had found a piano version of Eminem’s “Mockingbird” song and put that on while reading. Now whenever I hear the melody, my brain goes right back at the book
