Beware of scammers in the comment section impersonating me! I will never solicit you for money or ask you to join some sketchy crypto scheme :)

[@hci]

Hey Nate, just wanted to say thank you! You were one of the reasons I too started a KZbin channel. All the best in 2021

[@DKINTHELAB]

@@hci I subbed to you, your channel is on the way up 💪🏼

[@hci]

@@DKINTHELAB I appreciate that a lot! Seriously made my day

[@luisvazdecamoes9764]

Hey nate, do you think that is it worth to read the tax book even if you live in a european country or is it to based on the us taxes??

[@hci]

@@luisvazdecamoes9764 hey Luis, I’m not Nate, but honestly if you have interest in American finance it probably wouldn’t hurt to check out. It’s all about wanting to learn more, so you never know how the info may help you in the long run

[@isaacramirez5629]

Im 15 , you are helping me change my parents way with money and You are helping me prepare for adult life. Thank you so much

[@angelgfromcorkerii8797]

You got this man! Being proactive is great.

[@MalluStyleMultiMedia]

👍👍👍👍👍

[@samyakjain8147]

Same , I'm 15 as well. Your videos really help .

[@Chahlie]

I'm a grandma and it's so nice to hear that young people are learning about money. My son is 30 and still doesn't get it :(

[@TheKillahKyla]

Oh my gosh, start investing now you youngins. You'll thank yourself in 20 years and beyond!

[@MateoLeonViana]

Reading things you disagree with is such a great idea. As someone said: intelligent people are able to entertain ideas, without agreeing with them. It's very helpful to broaden our own minds and build stronger arguments

[@mxchic05]

Very true!!

[@moneybee]

Reading before bed is of the healthiest habits you can pick up in the digital age. So often screens are the last things you see before you go to bed, and the first thing you reach for in the morning. Finding great books to add to the list is always great! I'd recommend "How to Win Friends and Influence People" for anyone that hasn't read it yet. It's amazing how Dale Carnegie's strategies still ring true 85 years later! :)

[@jademichael7664]

How to Win Friends and Influence People is one of my favorite books :) some of the tips in the book seem so simple and easy to implement but are constantly overlooked.

[@Wynzi]

If you read on your phone :)

[@dayvidsdays5644]

"Thinking, Fast and Slow" is such a great book that makes you "think". Really glad you mentioned that book! Understanding the way we and other people think can help resolve a lot of miscommunication.

[@AhmetKaan]

*"It doesn't matter what your background is or where you come from; if you have dreams and goals, that's what matters."*

[@mbora3731]

It matters not what someone is born, but what they grow to be.

[@Gerox566]

That's a disney sentence, of course your background matters

[@loxleybattle2591]

Last year, my favorite nonfiction book was “Atomic Habits” by Clear, followed by “Happy Money” by Dunn and Norton.This year I am re-reading a favorite: “The Paradox of Choice” by Barry Schwartz. Not money related but excellent for quality of life are “Man’s Search for Meaning” by Frankl, and “The Road Less Traveled” by Peck. Thank you, Nate, and everyone else who commented, for the book recs!

[@rebeccaparker9703]

Thanks to finding your channel a few days ago I have started reading my first book in about 15 years ( other than ones for college, and reading to my kids). I am 2/3rds the way through rich dad poor dad after just 2 evenings. Now can’t wait to get my next book started. Thanks you really have inspired me!!!

[@ayeeshiang6045]

You were honestly the one who got me to read so much more books last year! Looking forward to learning more this 2021

[@wonkawarrior]

Thank you so much Nate for sharing your booklist with an old dog (55) willing to learn new tricks! I just discovered your channel, it's very inspiring!

[@intentionalliving7326]

A very different list ✨ “The war of art” is amazing too for all creators out there (it is not the business classic ‘Art of war’ Thank you Nate 🤗

[@user-pj9ne5oy3s]

Love your channel, thank you! Congrats on 1 million.

[@dantegrieco8548]

Was planning on buying some new books, great timing on this video!

[@XenonLegend]

Nice list, hoping to read them all very soon!

[@XwynntopiaX]

I enjoyed your enthusiasm! These are books i am probably never going to read, but I thank you for making the video and sharing your passion with the world.

[@sylviastoyanova1024]

Audio books are the coolest thing. Last year I have read over 100 books only by listening and I am very grateful for that opportunity.

[@monicak7132]

I love this community where people share good books to one another♡

[@KBGDGT]

None of those books I would have normally thought of picking up. Cheers dude, great list.

[@InspiredbyIda]

Just taken The Daily Stoic off my shelf. Can’t wait to read it. Really getting into Stoicism/Essentialism this year. 👍🏾

[@BonusFootage]

Throwback book of the week "What to Say When You Talk to Your Self". Game changer for thinking about how we condition ourselves through self-talk and the content/people we engage with.

[@intentionalliving7326]

Looking forward to this! Thanks for recommending it! As a creator I am becoming so aware of the negative self talk 😅

[@Squintillions]

This book sounds interesting. Thanks for the suggestion.

[@BonusFootage]

@@intentionalliving7326 yes it’s strong! has me thinking twice before I tell myself “I can’t” do something!

[@BonusFootage]

@@Squintillions of course!!

[@alwynjohn-thesimpleinvesto4730]

Keep up the grind my man love your vids!!

[@christianorsa]

Influence; the psychology of persuasion. GREAT book.

[@David.Marquez]

I enjoy how diverse yet consistently interesting this list of books is. Thank you Nate!

[@weamabdusalamahnish5461]

So excited to read the books thanks for sharing

[@marlojamesorias2082]

Thank you for these suggestions ☺️

[@BrunaClaas]

I am loving all the book tips on KZbin!!

[@emmajo3974]

Thank you for your suggestions! One of my resolution is to read as much books on finance as possible!

[@Maor791]

Love your book picks 👌🏻

[@a_lucientes]

That is an awesome couch. Thanks for the suggestions. Im learning a lot.

[@user-vv6mt8md6g]

I'm really enjoying your videos and I am in totally agree that it is important to read material that I don't agree with. It is important to think outside of the box and understand others perspectives. I look forward to following your content.

[@poornimamaduwanthi9327]

Thanks for your suggestion 💖

[@MadQueen__]

you are my best teacher from now on. I love all your videos. Educated me a lot.

[@SamMartinPeakPerformance]

Good point on seeking books you're likely to disagree with - too many people just reconfirm their biases without considering alternative viewpoints

[@FriendlyNeighbourhoodLawyer]

Agreed! There's a time for comfort reading but one has to be willing to grapple with new ideas and different viewpoints to grow.

[@isabelldawn]

Thank you for the recommendations! 😊

[@israelo.rioveros7850]

Thank you for the list

[@shivanipandey8208]

I love your content, simple and straight, and classy. 👍🏻

[@christinefindorff5328]

I’ve been so excited to watch this video. I’ve been busy with school and work, but one of my resolutions for not only 2021 but like is to read more! I normally just read fantasy, but as I get older and I’m going through school I’m more interested in books that are also educational and practical.

[@michaeldalia7313]

Love this Nate. A great start to 2021

[@1headfirstforhalos1]

I find highlighting and marking important pages with sticky tabs helpful for in depth books and it’s good for referring back!

[@LalaRanj1]

As always, amazing video , thanks for sharing

[@nadaz7333]

Great recommendations thank you!

[@Lucasvoz]

Nate I can't thank you enough for these videos, you are helping so many people make the right decisions. I found your channel about a year ago and I've learned more from you and a handful of other channels than I have in 15 years of school. Keep 'em coming!

[@ShashankGupta05]

Very generic comment.

[@TheSavvyCouple]

Awesome list Nate! Thanks for sharing these great books. Excited to dive into a couple of these.

[@anushatimla7359]

You’re amazing Nate !!!! I’m so invested in your channel cause it has helped me so much

[@MisaelMRLS]

Thanks for the list

[@kritikashanker3115]

Way to a million, Brien... 😃😃 Congrats. You're the best.

[@sophiesays6610]

I really appreciate your point that you like reading about what you disagree with. We are so accustom to only hearing/thinking based on what we surround ourselves with.

[@nicvzr]

This couldn't have come at a better time. Thank you Mr O'Brien!

[@alwynjohn-thesimpleinvesto4730]

Great content Nate!!

[@winangelo990]

Congratulations on such an amazing achievement, can't wait to see your channel grow even bigger.

[@isainrennes]

Patiently waiting for new video. Planning my move to Philadelphia post business school in France.

[@lmartinez2303]

I agree with everything you said about Thinking, Fast and Slow. It hurts my head reading it but truly worth it. The Daily Stoic is an easier read for me. Other books you mentioned are on my TBR now. THANKS!

[@katiemynette4285]

Heart of Kentucky. Hey Nate. Good to see your new video. I like the Stoics. Still keeping you in my prayers. Katie.

[@CalebOliver]

Nate, these are great tips! I want to read Thinking Fast and Slow! I like how each book had its own genre. I will keep that in mind the next time I do a book review. Great Video! 👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾

[@dvlpr]

Not your typical "books to read" vid. I really enjoyed the diversity of these book, thanks Nate!

[@TradingWithCJ]

Yesss nate! I never used to be in to reading, but it deffo helps mentally & good to get of social media & tech from time to time!

[@RJ-hx5nb]

It also helps with language skills.

[@ThomasGoldstepFinance]

Coffee, comfy chair, Nate O'Brien video, my happy place!

[@dividendstacker6766]

Just started reading Thinking fast and slow today! Recently purchased why nations fail. You got me curios to read the other books you recommended.

[@cbwinning]

The “Tax-Free Wealth” and “Deduct-It”tax books were exactly what I’ve been needing. And “Why Nations Fail” sounds intriguing. Thanks man.

[@bookreviewforall]
