[@rachelle9588]

I know it's not intentional but... can you make an effort to include books by female writers in your videos? The benefits of diverse perspectives to the viewers and hopefully your own enrichment are well studied and reported. Thanks for including female voices in the podcast (although more diversity is always welcome), they are just rarely if ever represented in these book summaries.

[@giant3909]

I know this pays the bills, but those supplements for the brain are just snake oil. We shouldn't have to take supplements if it's not recommended by an MD.

woow, great video! But why isn't there a book like Hack Your Reality here? Found it on Liliveria and I'm thrilled by how good and useful it is. I've already read it and it's incredibly inspiring

[@isaErhan]

Just stumbled upon that ebook about Dubai royal families and their money-making hacks. Some pretty unexpected stuff in there!

[@HutzHeil]

Imagine telling someone 15 years ago there is money making hacks by dubai sheikhs😂😂

[@UtrekBiuk]

Its weird time we live in

Yes Dubai Royal Families Money Making Hacks was definitely game changer

[@user-ts8ll3ne1s]

Is this even legal?

Can't believe the impact Making Money Your Reality Commanding Your Financial Destiny had on my mindset about wealth, It's a real shocker

If you haven't read 'Step Up: Success Unlocked', you're missing out. It's packed with practical advice on building a successful routine. It emphasizes the significance of routine, discipline, and the impact of our surroundings on our journey to success. It brilliantly covers motivation and the power of daily routines. This book is a fantastic inspiration for anyone aspiring to a new and better beginning. Highly recommend

[@AycanCem]

Came across that ebook on Dubai royal families\' money-making hacks... Some eye-opening and unexpected tips in there, to say the least!

[@HeshamMuffini]

If you ever listen to anything while reading comments, let it be this - read the book 25 money secrets from Donald Trump, you'll thank me later

It takes discipline to finish books. When it comes to starting to read them, I am an expert ;)

Thanks for your honesty, Artus.

That means the books are not very interesting. If it truly interests you, you can't put it down and wish you could read it for the first time again after you are done.

[@LivinglifeSandesh]

Yes 😊

Hey Ali, I recommend Non-Violent Communication by Marshall Rosenberg. Really changed by perspective on how we interact with the world. Thanks for the videos :)

[@shasoreads]

Such great recommendations. Definitely will be reading The Art & Business of Online Writing.

[@aveerajsharma]

Love your book series!

I’m catching up with all of Sanderson’s books and they’re all 🤯 Elantris, Warbreaker, Mistborn series 1, The Emperor’s Soul

[@victoriamills5507]

Loved 7 habits of highly effective people, recommend the Compound Effect, the 5 Love languages and Ikigai

[@TimotheusK]

Adding these to my list as I listen. Great recommendations as usual.

Do you have recommendations on where to buy these books - audio books or tangible, either or

Love to see the Brandon Sanderson love on the channel. Are you rereading those in preparation for storm light 5? Did you back the 4 secret projects kicker as well for those novels coming out next year?

[@enamoradadelavidaa]

Thank you for share this books with us ! You are helping us so much !

[@albertzhouu]

currently reading the 7 habits of highly effective teens by sean covey which im assuming is extremely similar to his dads book 7 habits of highy effective people but i really like this book and recommend it to anyone in their adolescense years

[@mortodoo]

If you haven't read any of them, you can start now! Don't feel left behind. What you do now is what matters.

[@RodolfoAlbertoCorder]

Very interesting presentation about 15 books. It motivates me very much to read more about different topics, to make habit of reading every day, to learn about different perspectives and topics. Thank you for these recomendations and explanations of them.

[@Luxiferah]

I’m currently reading How to be Everything by Emilie Wapnick. It’s for people who can’t see themselves doing one thing for the rest of their lives. I’m really enjoying it so far because it feels so validating.

[@vineetaa9927]

Yup that's me 🙋‍♀️ thanks for the recommendation!

[@attaulmomin]

I was looking for something exactly like this

[@curioustudent]

Great summaries of these books, I really need to try out "the pathless path" starting my KZbin channel and all!

[@readswithlauren]

I love that Sando has so many in your pile 🥰

[@Consumer001]

YES BRO IM CONFUSE TO CHOOSE THE BEST SKILL AND START DOING ANY WORK

[@divyanshuo]

Thank you for suggesting, 'The Art of Business of Online Writing'! Amazing book, loved it.This book is a game-changer for anyone looking to navigate the dynamic world of online writing. The author provides invaluable insights into crafting compelling content, building a personal brand, and monetizing your writing skills.

[@cecilyhcheng]

I’m new subscriber so I don’t know if you have ever mentioned this modern day philosopher/psych guy, but your first recommendation reminds me of Alain de Boton. He makes this same point about equating our careers with our identity. But his best talk/book so far is definitely “Why you will marry the wrong person” it’s very clever with dry humor.

[@jakejjw92]

I had no idea that book 7 of the mist born series was out. Thank you for this 🙏🏼

[@nguyeninhkien5871]

please do more video like this, this is so helpful

[@jaredfontaine2002]

[@davidgro1569]

Best Book Video so far. I think every book sounds really interesting :D

[@KathleenYago]

Thank you so much for all your content! You do the work so I don't have to! This year I also read "The Way of Integrity" by Martha Beck, "Essentialism" by Greg McKeown and "Good Inside" by Becky Kennedy for any parents out there...

[@5canwalk]

Great recs!

[@maryellenerikson1397]

How to Change by Katy Milkman is like reading every book and study about changing our habits and having it all sorted and condensed into one easy to read book.

[@ririali2349]

Amazing Video thank u

[@Tanoaproductionsfiji]

Thank you for your valuable insights. Bula From Fiji

[@cameron227]

I recommend Sovereignty by Ryan Michler. It’s a great book about taking control and sovereignty over your life similar to the idea of stoicism (which btw Idk if you’ve read meditations by Marcus Aurelius but that’s a must).

[@redred333]

I feel like this video leveled-up my understanding of books.

[@sarawibberley5426]

I've listened to Sapiens probably 10x. I love this book!

[@xYuusu]

My first foray with Brandon Sanderson (and the fantasy genre!) was actually the Stormlight Archive. This series consumed me so much, I only read Mistborn after finishing Rhythm of War because I wanted more from Sanderson. I'm only halfway through The Well of Ascension but I must say, I still kinda like Stormlight more than the Final Empire. But I'm still looking forward to finishing Mistborn; I've heard great things about it including the Wax and Wayne series :)

[@Rosamariatvofficial]

Big Magic is one of my favorite books about creativity. And the Body Keeps the Score is the best health-focused book.

[@TheTravelingMujer]

Both really great!!

[@Davisoro]

The book that I really enjoy reading in 2023. Essentialism. It has really help me to define My priority.

[@user-nm3jn7pr7d]

Really liked the 7 habits esp the latest edition that contains his son's perspective on each habit

[@Sinceritycloud]

You definitely need to read Being Mortal by Atul Gawande. It really did change the way I've looked at my patients and how to care for them

[@christophmeier9570]

Nice list. If you like fantasy and fantastic character work, I recommend reading Joe Abercrombie's First Law and Age of Madness series. There is a really great audible version as well.

[@georgiaemily7]

Would love to know more about how you fit consuming books into your routine

[@cgipodcast]

Thanks for sharing! You helped inspire my friend and I who finished grad school and now work as engineers in tech start our own podcast. For books, I'd recommend Ray Dalio's Changing World Order.

[@gottadasha]

yesssss the video i needed

[@erikroskam7395]

Last great book I read was “the comfort crisis” it gives an insight on how modern life causes a lot of problems and how you can increase fulfilment in life by adding discomfort. Great read and gave me insights to life my love with more fulfilment

[@infinitymiracle772]

Hi Ali! This is definitely one of the most interesting, important and useful video so far! Keep up with the work!😂
