profound. thank you.

the movie was a disgrace to any history book and a joke. i hated every minute of it

Great video. Lovely content. New subscriber here.

I feel like for me the reflection mostly takes place in my actual journal. I use my commonplace to collect the knowledge, and then I go back to it when I want to reflect on it. I love seeing how different people have applied the concept of a commonplace book. The one thing I do differently is I don’t collect knowledge for improvement, it usually happens anyway, but just because I enjoy it. 😊

"The art..." haha...let me tell you, there's no art to it - just impulse...haha....uhhhh...Am I addicted - potentially!

i'am a little late to the party, but this helps immensely, thank u kind sir. "I see" said the blind man as he picked up his hammer and saw :)

Got to Barnes and noble I believe

enjoyed this fun vid' immensely... but an ordinary experience, although chaotic, irregular and fragmentary, may be serendipitously rewarding in a way that micro managing is not :)

This was excellent. Clearly explained. Articulated well. Inspiring. Excellent teaching. Thank you for helping those of us who want to learn about and use a Commonplace book. I’m a recently new subscriber (i.e., subscribed yesterday). I look forward to catching up on your other videos 📒🖊

I bought this book not knowing it had illustrations so imagine my sheer childlike delight when I got to open it 😂

I just finished a collection of Tolkien's letters, and Tolkien and the Great War by Garth. Highly recommend. I'm intrigued by your book - had not heard of it. I'm off to hunt and gather. Thank you!

Great video, Vashik, thank you!

Thank you for sharing this! This was a beautiful explanation of a good teacher and helped me very much!

I've had to get comfortable with ereaders. I will buy physical books, but only if I know I will read them and i only keep the ones I love. I use my ereaders as a literary testing device and great for on the go as well.

Where can I get it now

Love the quality and shots in the video, this brought me back to focus on my telos. Hope you're well.

One of the greatest pieces of literature

So nice

Personally I like to read books and not just stare at them in a library, but all power to you.

If you have lots of books and your small home is bursting with books, as mine is, you are lucky if you can find room to accommodate them on shelves. How many people have enough room to present an exhibition of their books? It often occurs to me that my living room is closer to a museum than a home, though many interesting objects that I own are out of sight. If I want to show them to a visitor I have to extract them carefully and put them away carefully before something gets damaged. The V and A has acres of space in which to show things - lucky them! And why exhibit your books anyway? Surely books are mainly for reading, are they not? What would be the point of an exhibition in a private home? The books would just be gathering dust while a tiny handful of visitors looked at them. I agree that how huge museums and libraries manage their collections is very interesting, but it's hardly relevant to the average amateur collector or reader.

This was so interesting - thank you!

Absolutely beautiful poem, thank you so much for sharing it!!

Servants.

freat sir

Please keep this channel going. I love that your suggestions are much more helpful than a lot of other primary texts which might not give the complete context hat could hinder understanding and appreciation of the text. Thank you and what youre doing is wonderful. I rarely comment but i just have to!

does this include all 3 parts?

In modern life this is what shrinks do. But not all of us can afford one and not all of us have those close ones, who really cares

Are these rules can be applied both to non-fiction and fiction books, correct? Or mostly for non-fiction?

Interesting. Thank you for the video.

Where can I buy?

Bro, you read 70 books about Napoleon? It's true love!

It is nice to understand how Oscar worked in his journals, however I don't believe we should add rules to our own journals/commonplace book. Some of these sound like tasks they make you do at school that feel laborious and so we lose the joy of writing for ourselves.

Carlo Rovelli in the front, William Blake in the back, how can this can be better ? Thanks for your share.

A house without books is like a room without a window.

So very true. I hate to equate a "library" to the internet...but having a mass of information at your fingertips is so vital to a mind. I personally don't like the internet. You're grasping at other peoples concepts of what is important. A book is more likely to be a primary source than an entry on a "web." And I truly feel that you engage a different part of your brain when you read a book than you do when you scan a computer entry. I have unread books...but I know I have them. And when I open them it's like entering a new room in a solid house. A book on my shelves can't be edited by an outside source. It can't be deleted or erased by someone far away. Of course you have to protect your volumes. Thank Heaven thousand upon thousands of our ancestors felt the same and left the distilled knowledge for us to access, digest and discuss. And books don't need batteries.

Woahh thats really pretty !!

i fucking love gustave dore dud wheerrrreeee can i find this pls

She didn’t have social mediaB😅

One of my favorite books in my library. The one I have read the most times.

I want to read multiple religious books at once, like the Quran and the Bible. Or multiple Bibles at the same time. I may take the step to read more than 1 at a time

Are there any books you recommend to learn more about the history of productivity ?

Isn't this just a journal with some quotes and things from other people? As soon as you start writing any comments in perhaps to discuss what the quote meant to you, for example, you're journaling.

Really enjoying your videos! I wish I could read as many books a year as you do. I read multiple books at once and read everyday but am lucky to finish 20 books a year

A incredibly informative video. Great work friend ! :)

Your video is such a breath of fresh air! I always kept personal journals and notebooks for specific interests but now I am going to attempt to keep a Commonplace Notebook - being a writer and avid reader myself. I also love Oscar Wilde so this video grabbed my attention from start to finish - thank you for your research and sharing this!

Brilliant advice, tips and techniques. Thank you so much for Sharing.

I had to down size my collection of mostly unread books from 60+ boxes to 10. Was not fun.

Use of JP is a big 🚩, as is wanting to think like a Roman emperor 🫣. But the rest of this is very relevant for my over thinking brain 🧠🤯😅
