========================
Hi, my name is Tina and I'm a data scientist at a FAANG company. I was pre-med studying pharmacology at the University of Toronto until I finally accepted that I would make a terrible doctor. I didn't know what to do with myself so I worked for a year as a research assistant for a bioinformatics lab where I learned how to code and became interested in data science. I then did a masters in computer science (MCIT) at the University of Pennsylvania before ending up at my current job in tech :)

Can you put in description list of books with stars number and smash/pass status?
R u single ?
I hate going through self help books at a bookshop or even browsing online, they all seem to be exactly the same so this is so helpful.
"Human behavior is blah blah blah"... expecting me to feel like some intellectual
+ a million real life scenarios and paragraphs that amount to literally the same idea
@@lexlex5555 which books you read
@@lexlex5555Im currently reading The Untethered Soul and the chapters are like 10 pages too long each. Like, everything that was said in the chapter could have been summarized in 3-5 pages.
Also, I couldn’t finish Atomic Habits, too many ‘real life examples’ that I don’t care for

oh tysm!! I updated the description - totally forgot to put timestamps my bad 🙈
The 3 books that changed my life and I would recommend them to anyone
1. Atomic Habits by James Clear ( great tips and tricks to staying consistent and productive)
2. Man's Search For Meaning by Victor Frenkel (really makes you appreciate freedom and being alive in general)
3. The Fifth Discipline by Peter Senge (It's about looking at the big picture and not stressing over the small stuff)
Can’t Hurt Me - David Goggins
48 Laws of Power - Robert Greene
12 Rules for Life - Jordan Peterson
Mostly wanted a reference to get back to whenever I want a new book to read but might be helpful for someone else so here it goes

5 SMASH comment
Mathaba Hassan - 5/5 SMASH
don't be caught up her rating
Thanks
I also kinda approach some of these "scientific" self-help books with a bit of skepticism. I love science and empirical research, but in the self-help category it can sometimes feel like they're just trying to appeal to something to give their ideas more weight, even when the science isn't actually that rigorous. And then people look over the lack of rigor because they like what the book has to say.
I feel like this can lead some people to following sometimes-not-so-good advice with too much confidence, in part because they have the impression that something is scientifically backed.
So True 👍🏻
Or sometimes they cite really old ones or they make correlation from several scientifically-backed research themselves
You should approach all things in life with a little skepticism.
All I can say is WOW. This was so helpful. You covered some books I've read, some I've heard of, some I will now read thanks to your review, and some that I know to skip. Many thanks!
I found your channel last week and kept checking your videos whenever i had free time. I love your videos. This video is one of my favorites because you can hear and see your enthusiasm and passion to gather and share knowledge. Thank you for changing my life and giving me new things to think of. ❤️
Excellent video! Thank you so much for making it. The number of books is impressive and your pacing made it possible to get through it all. Will definitely be adding some to my reading list.
Thank you so much for this list! I once tried to get into reading but I ended up choosing a bad book and got turned off from reading books. I started Atomic Habits and I don’t even wanna put it down. I’m trying my best not to take TOO MANY notes. I’ve already gained some life changing insights on why I haven’t been able to succeed in certain things. Every few pages is giving me a breakthrough in my thinking. THANKS
This is so great, thank you!! Already have read some of the books you've recommended before, they were awesome! Can't wait to intorduce some new stuff to my life
Updated my reading list! Thanks! So many bangers. We should start a book club lol
yes pls!!!
Great summary! Very insightful and honest. I was on the fence about checking out a couple and some weren't even on my radar. Thanks for sharing!
I don't usually comment on videos but I want to say I really enjoyed this. Great video, great details, great pacing, very entertaining and informative. Thank you, Tina.
I'm glad you're making videos again. It helps us and yourself.
Thank you for this video and your dedication and hard work towards this craft (making abundantly helpful videos) is very much appreciated. Thank you.
Thank you Tina, I really needed this
Thank you so much ❣️ I was wondering which book to read you sorted it out and made easy
Love this review! So insightful and succinct. I’ve got a long list of TBR. This would be great as a continued series and/or by genre :)
You're a new face in my feed and I'm binge watching your videos !!
They're great Tina.
Really really great
Love you Tina, thank you for posting this helpful video
Re: Why We Sleep. I did finish it two years ago or so and while I like the "Go to sleep, it's good for you" message it ended up saying that any and all problems in your life are caused by lack of sleep, from anxiety, to weight, to cancer. It felt fear-mongering and later I read that other scientists found some serious data problems in the first chapter.
Sleep is good, yes, and I'm more careful about sleeping well now, but this book is not.
I'm amazed how the evidence of data manipulation doesn't seem to have made a dent in Walker's sleep expert credentials. He makes so many absurd and exaggerated claims, then gets proven to be a fraud and yet people keep quoting his book and requesting him for interviews.
I loved the way she said HELLO FRIENDS!!! Just LOVE IT!
Thanks for this summary Tina, very useful, got me interested in a few but also thankful I haven't read others? Just becoming more sensitive (not in sentimental, but total way) and aware and being able (freeing up; self-awareness, non-attachment) to respond (appropriately) will guide you.
Thanks alot, this video was very useful. Loved the edit and the way the video was organised, short, consise an great.
This video was 30 minutes well spent. I did read another previous book recommendation for A million miles in a thousand years, which I LOVED! Thanks Tina!
Hey, Tina!
Another Great video!
Definitely wrote down at least 10 books I'm gonna read apart from the ones I've already read because of your advice! and which changed my life
You should read WHEN BREATH BECOMES AIR. (philosophy, storytelling, human values, happiness).
;)
Lovely seeing you back TIna!
Thank you for taking the time to share your thoughts.
My first book in the self-help space was Grit too! It was pretty motivating with plenty of great stories and sent me down the rabbit-hole of self-improvement/discipline. 4.5/5 from me
Absolutely LOVED this video. You were concise and pretty accurate. I've read like 15 from your list and from those, I can say you have similar opinions to mine. One book I would like to add is Big Magic by Elizabeth Gilbert because that's a book which changed my life! It's about creative living and how you can genuinely feel happy being an artist. So, if you're an artist of any kind (writer, actor, musician, dance...any art!), Big Magic is a must read!
Thanks, this was helpful. I read a lot of the books. However, I like the suggestions for the books I was thinking about.
किताबों का अद्भुत संलग्नता , उत्कृष्ट विचारों से जीवन में परिवर्तन लाने का एक अद्भुत स्रोत | आपके इस विवेकपूर्ण विचारों को प्रस्तुत करने के लिए , आपका हृदय से हार्दिक अभिनंदन 🙏
महोदया जी 💐
I really like your list, made me consider alot of them.
Дуже цікавий та пізнавальний огляд книжок, дякую за це відео!
Omg I didn't notice it was getting darker! Big thumbs up for the compiling such big list!
Thanks for the video and book recommendations!
Thanks for the video Tina! One idea for a new video ( well actually 2 ideas) would be to dive in how you manage to read loads of books, having all your obligations, and how you go about taking notes efficiently ( I really struggle on this one).
Read Building a second brain, it might help you with that. Now, in order to read a bunch of books you have to start by reading. Start with a couple pages a day, it might not sound like much but believe me it works.
This idea of thinking about the value of your time is great, especially for those of us who have transitioned over the years from never enough money to never enough time!
just checked out all your five star recommendations - thank you!
"The One Thing" review was hilarious. Thanks Tina
Super fun video! Thanks!
That was a good review! Thanks!
Thanks for sharing ! absolutely useful video
This was great honestly thanks
Didn't even realize the lighting change until it was mentioned LOL great video :)
Never split the difference is amazing! I have some notes from it on my phone that I reference regularly ❤️
sameee
Zen and the Art of Motorcycle Maintenance is extremly underrated. It is a genious book about the understanding of "quality". It is not easy to get into it, because the thinking and the interpretation of words differs a lot from day to day thinking. It felt like very deep trip into a genius mind.
Excellent video. Thanks
Thanks for making the video.
Ok. Pen and paper thank you tina.
Tina, you should totally make a digital form and have your audience vote what they recommend based on your input and their experience. This would selfishly help me pick 1 book out all the ones you went over cause I am not a passionate reader haha.
Thanks. Saved me a lot of time.
Love your content ❤
The mountain is you is one of my personal favourites. It is repetitive sometimes but repetition is important for your brain to remember the information. It is written is a very kind way as well, even though sometimes it’s a tough love. 2/5 is far too little for it
I liked that book too and I agree, it's really good at least for me.
You're awesome, keep it up!
i have to stop here to give you a big thank for your time and effort in making this video
Excellent video!
❤❤❤ Looking so beautiful as usual.
Thanks for making videos to guide us
So much good content! Let me save that video so I can come back to it later :)
thank you!!! lotta recycled obvious stuff out there but have to say the good one convince you to do the advice even if its old & obvious :)
I found Mastery to be life changing only after I applied it to the last 20ish years of my life (I'm a lil bit older than you). My childhood, same as you, everything and all things but when thinking about my working life I realised I was always drawn to data and analytics regardless of the role or industry which put me on my Data science journey!
really good summary for 64 books. Good vibes from Peru.
Amazing work.
Please do more of these vids!!!!!
Thank you
Outrageously useful video Tina. A++.
Signed, Dan
I generally don't like self-help books. As an Aspie, they often don't speak to me. But some of them can be useful, especially when they help me understand NT brains.
i would suggest the book "Body Mind Spirit - A Complete Guide To Unlocking Your Full Potential" What sets this book apart is its balanced perspective on holistic development. It seamlessly combines concepts from the realms of body, mind, and spirit, offering a comprehensive guide for those seeking a well-rounded transformation. The author's clear and concise writing style ensures that even complex ideas are accessible to readers of varying backgrounds.
Thank you very helpful
Hey Tina, did you read any book from Robert Green, "POWER" for example, if you did, do you suggest?
Deep work is so 🔥🔥
If you can read in Spanish I recommend you "Vive con propósito" by Noah J. Brown. It's a classic and great book of self-help. It a top ten.
(personal note to self)
13 things mentally strong people don't do
tao of seneca
atlas of the heart, brene brown
simple path to wealth
never split the difference
man's search for meaning, viktor e frankl
the defining decade, meg jay
thousand years, donald milller
thinking in bets, annie duke
4 disciplines of execution
tidying up, marie kondo
I got a different message from Robert Greene's Mastery. It was more about exploring your field in your twenties. There are CZcams videos of him explaining this at Google, Oxford or Cambridge.
I'd definitely recommend "The Happiness Trap" by Russ Harris, or anything by Dr. Steven C. Hayes
How do you structure your book learnings?
Would be awesome to learn more about it
Just discovered your channel a couple weeks ago. You seem like a cool knowledgeable person on this topic. So im wondering if you can help me with a question i have. So I am a recent graduate in Computer Science and want to instead go into Data Science industry instead of the traditional Software Developer/ Software Engineer career. So as someone like me who eventually one day wants to work in data science industry, is there an entry level job role that one can apply as a starting point and just get promoted/ level up to a data science in time rather than just trying to apply for a data science position from the get go? I dont mind starting at the bottom and working my way up the ladder. If anyone else have any suggestions i would greatly appreciate it?
I'd like to know what some of your favorites are on the fiction genre! you've got an interesting perspective, different than mine, which is nice
wow. thank you.
'Dedicated' by Pete Davis was a real book, and I wish I had it in college, but it was nice even after I graduated. It's helped me through some important life decisions, and I think it's some nice pushback/alternative to some of the wacky stuff that folks like Jordan Peterson are peddling. Makes a good observation about where people seem to find satisfaction in life, and then riffs and elaborates on that.
I also recently got through 'Nonviolent Communication' by Marshall Rosenberg was fantastic and super healing for me. Gives a clear and practicable framework for clear and compassionate communication and listening.
I'll definitely take some of these recommendations from this video too! Like How To Not Die Alone lmao😂
oh!! I've been recommended non violent communication before! Going to put that high on the list now. Dedicated sounds interesting too!
atlas of the heart is amazing 4.5/5 (for me)!
Does the sequence/order of when you read the books ( on the same subject) affects the rating?
Thanks for the recommendations you should read another 12 rules for life I didn't even finish the 1st one I didn't like it but the 2nd 1 was really good
Any book recommendations about how to ask better questions?
Due to some reason had to spend a lot of time on non career related serious issues. Feeling so burnt out,insecure/imposter syndrome and demotivated; dont know what to do.
Hope someone can drop some advice.
On my way to read thinking in bets 🤠
what you relate to depends where you're starting from, doesn't it? i relate to david goggins because we had similar childhoods, but i wouldn't recommend him to most people
i would rule out books from people who are unhappy and trying to therapise themselves, like jordan peterson. contrarily, if you're emotionally experienced then buddhism works well, and most people misinterpret that as a religion
The more books I read (currently at 254), the more reluctant I feel to rate them. Overall, it's just a matter of personal perspective, and there are so many personal biases that I don't believe we're able to take all of them into account. The same book, read at different times in our lives, might evoke completely different feelings.
Regarding 'How To Not Die Alone,' it doesn't sound like a good idea to pursue dating without chemistry. If you don't feel anything, no amount of science alone will make you happy. I haven't read it yet, although it has been on my shelf for some time. But first, I need to read '4 Disciplines of Execution' because that's more important to me right now.
But you won't read this comment anyway, so I guess I'm just spending time talking to myself 🤣.
Hi Tina have you ever read Think And Grow Rich by Napoleon Hill? Just wondering if you had what you thought of it?
Thanks take care 😊
Atomic habits and Attached were the most helpful books
Can you please review workbooks? Thanks!
Very honest and good video, but i gotta disagree with "Why We Sleep" I thought it was filled with exciting facts about sleep and wake up calls with how much we should consider the importance of our sleep :)
For anyone who googled, „OG book”, OG stands for Original Gangster. OG is an internet slang initialism used to describe an extraordinary person.
You look amazing Tina
Did you read the books or did u listen to the audiobooks? Are audiobooks just as good as reading?
Note for self:
13 things mentally strong people don't do (adding to-read)
Quiet (read, remember nothing)
The Anthropocene Reviewed (love John green, to-read)
The Body Keeps the score (have been reading off-and-on, very heavy, will finish)
Never Split the Difference (read, might need to re-read)
The Life Changing Manga (read the regular version & loved it, why no revisit with the manga)
It's funny that you feel asleep to why we sleep because the author is probably glad that it helped you sleep. I am slowly working through it and it helps to read it out-loud
Also thanks for reviewing Jay shetty's book because I was wondering whether to add it to my reading list. I listened to a lot of his calm sessions so it's good to know that it's a lot of fluff.
On the topic of passion and a book which I find to somewhat contradict "So Good They Can't Ignore You", is a really good book titled Range by David Epstein. Would be nice to hear your thoughts on the topic.
The four best self-help books that i read any i suggest to everyone:
Ikigai
Atomic Habits
Eat That frog
The power of habit
