Mentor, You Forgot of the book by Ankur Warikoo Do Epic Shit

[@swetak7786]

Thank you. Could you make a video on how you manage to read so many books and remember all the important learnings? Could you please share your method?

[@SuzanneKlingert]

I have accumulated a total of 290k today. I am truly grateful for all the knowledge and information you have provided me over the past few weeks. I started with 55k just 2 months ago.

[@RhayBarry-Steelman]

If I may ask, how do you manage to earn so much? What are your strategies?

[@SuzanneKlingert]

Diving into the digital market is definitely advisable, but it requires expert guidance, and with Ms. Sophie Rogerz, you can’t go wrong.

[@RhayBarry-Steelman]

HOW!? I know it is possible. I would appreciate it if you showed me how to do it.

[@RussellLarson-l8p]

Sophie Rogerz? I was introduced to her by a friend. My husband and I have been working with her for months, and it was through her profits that we were able to grow in the real estate market.

[@SandraFernandez-n1z]

I keep hearing a lot about Ms. Sophie; she must be really good.

Solid picks, Ali. One book that completely changed my approach to business is Untold Business Masterclass, It goes deep into strategies that are rarely talked about but make all the difference !

[@hecic]

No way that book is viral now lool

[@adihecca]

W book

[@MannanGoel]

Not read it. But its marketing is so corny that I doubt them already. The masked thief in the cover. We have a “mission” No hate. Really intrigued if its just trolling by the op. Is the book really good or another try at being edgy

Perfect timing, Ali! 📚 I’ve been deciding on books to kick off 2025, and your video is exactly what I needed. 😄 The mix of business, health, productivity, and fantasy is so inspiring! 🙌 I’m definitely adding a few of these to my list. Any recommendations for someone who wants to start the year focused on personal growth? 💡

[@RisingUnderdog]

Depending on the type of personal growth you're after... The Compound Effect , Atomic Habits, and You're a Badass are books that helped me. One's that I'm looking to read in the new year are Psycho Cybernetics, Influence, The Psychology of Money, Key Person of Influence, Feel Good Productivity...

[@NandoPr1m3]

Congrats on the marriage and the upcoming baby! I've watched every video on this channel and appreciate you and your team's work. Happy Holidays!

[@aliabdaal]

Thanks so much!!

[@PeejayPlace]

I find people skills are important as well which is why for negotiation and people skills 1.Dale Carnegie - How to win friends and influence people 2. Chris Voss - Never Split the difference 3. Robert B. Cialdini - Yes

[@IWTBFOY]

Amazing recommendations!

[@HilolJn]

Ali you are the best when it comes to productivity videos. I am learning English from your videos. Thank you so much.

I read your book this year and loved it, I'll be gifting in future. Happy holidays!

[@inesnangue]

Thank you for sharing your favorite books in different categories. Congratulations and all the Best 💫

[@kgdskb]

Thank you wholeheartedly for sharing these interesting books, Ali! 🙏🏼❤

[@samanthagaboo5610]

Honestly Ali, I'm glad that I don't have to read any productivity books anymore because I know if it's something really worked changing or adding to a routine I know you're going to make a video about it lol. I've already listened to your other tips and tricks for your last few videos for 2025 It seems like it's a very straightforward approach for goals.

[@ssh7406]

Higashino Keigo!!!! I’m so happy that you mentioned Japanese books!

[@listenme-bu7vq]

Summary(like it to find it fast😊😊) Productivity: 1) Getting things done 2) the pathless path 3) less 4) slow productivity 5) million dollar weekend Business: 6) Ready, fire & aim 7) million dollar weekend 8) the goal 9) steve jobs 10) traction This two category is most important but make sure you like❤ it so that everyone get benefit😊😊

[@ElizabethOnTheLake]

🎉 Congratulations on the baby!!❤

[@AzizaAlangova]

at the right time, what I need! Thanks Ali!

[@icecreamrollscraze]

I loved watching this video! It's always great to see someone's enthusiasm for books and reading. I'm definitely going to check out some of the books you recommended, especially the ones by Brandon Sanderson. Your passion for reading is infectious!

[@seggy98_]

Thanks for posting this. I was actually looking for a video like this from you while putting together my Christmas gift list.

[@BojanKvakovic2]

I recommend everyone to find the book titled The Hidden Path to Manifesting Financial Power, It changed my life.

[@Hexecode]

19 boo- I can’t catch up before 2025 I’m still reading your other recommendations through the year 😂😂 let’s go!!!!

[@genealotech]

Two books I recommend: The Peacegiver by James Ferrell and Transitions by William Bridges.

[@JuliaRanaM]

The book ‘Good Work’ sounds really good, I will add that to my to read pile. I agree with your sentiment about sometimes feeling the need to get permission to follow my passions or needing a social model. I started my KZbin channel last month and so this is well timed for me 😊

[@KevinRains-eos]

Great selections, thanks for this list! On Traction book... I did the same thing in my business of trying to ignore aspects of the EOS framework or blend it with others. Big mistake! After I re-aligned everything to Traction and the 6 key components of the EOS framework everything started to click! I eventually sold my 5 businesses all running on EOS and became an EOS coach... which is the other thing that accelerated and simplified our growth. Game changer when you go all in on one operating system and hire a coach. Thanks again, Ali!

[@EllenSmyth]

Way back in the business section when you plopped down your phone to show the cover of the business book you were recommending, I saw across the bottom that you were on Chapter 103 of Wind and Truth! My eldest and I went to Nexus Dragonsteel 2024, and it was sooooo epic. We've finished the book, and I loved it. Sanderson is probably my favorite author, as well, and Robin Hobb is in my top five for sure, both of whom were there. As a mathematician, I will have to checkout the Japanese series! By the way, Dr. Joel Fuhrman is one of my favorite non-fiction authors, and his best best book is Eat to Live. He exudes evidence and logic in everything he advises.

[@engineeringmadeasy]

Hi Ali, can you please make a video on your finances such as how many bank accounts do you have, how many credit cards and which ones. And when someone leaves UK, what are the necessary steps to take in order have a smooth leave from UK without getting in trouble with HMRC. Thanks

[@strwbryblondi07]

Any recs for female authors, or productivity channel recommendations from a female perspective? I believe an unspoken benefit many of these authors have for productivity, focus, etc. is a wife at home keeping the boring and distracting home tasks running smoothly. Single folks and working women don't have that same benefit (though some aspects can be outsourced).

[@mawhaw22]

Came here to make a similar point. Not including a single woman on this list in 2024 is a choice.

Love how you manage to make book recommendations actually entertaining! The way you weave your personal experiences with each book makes it so much more relatable than just listing off titles. Plus, that mix of productivity and fiction books shows you're a real person, not just a productivity robot 😄 Key Points Bullet List: • Four book categories: productivity, business, health, fiction • Getting Things Done - core productivity system for busy life • Rest and slow work lead to better results • Social media impacts mental health (Gen Z focus) • Brandon Sanderson books for fiction escape • Mixing practical books with enjoyable reading is important Flash Cards: Front: Best productivity book for basics? Back: Getting Things Done by David Allen - comprehensive system for organizing tasks and projects Front: Why is rest important for productivity? Back: Rest enhances creativity, stimulates default mode network, prevents burnout Front: Main business book for 3+ person companies? Back: Traction by Gino Wickman - complete operating system for running business
