While I was ordained as a Buddhist monk I changed my view on reading. Instead of reading as many books as I could, I’d read only a handful of books each year and then read them several times over and implement what I read in my life. I think “Stumbling on happiness” will be one of the books on my list this year. Thank you for the sharing these!

He actually has a video on this exact idea! 😊

My favorite thing about these, is that you show the books in the thumbnail. You don't really make an effort to hide the titles to get people to watch the videos. You give really good summaries though, so I always watch while I start accumulating them. Thanks Clark, you're a good dude and I'm glad you're doing what you do. A lot of other youtubers are just shills..

[@rogerstuart7275]

I totally agree with you. Clark is passionate and his love of learning and teaching and distilling difficult concepts into a digestible medium is powerful.

[@georgenoah4872]

Reading is not just enough". Take the action! Put your newfound knowledge to use. I read for a long time but Action made my life change in no time ( generally and mostly financially) That's my two cents on this

[@stevestone8740]

I agree with 100% Action makes it work, no matter how little start and see the results come by

[@georgenoah4872]

Live below your means, Adjust your lifestyle, be frugal in spending don't buy unnecessary stuff, Budget your spending and your debts, Save, Invest it's a better way to grow wealth, get a financial expert to help you.

There's financial coaches out there to create value and not Just for the money they make. You can look out for them.

[@williamsebastian5574]

Take action! I was just about to comment that. Thanks for pointing it out

[@ax23xr]

The Psychology of Money is fantastic. Just finished reading it the other day and really gave me a better perspective on money and managing my personal financial picture now and in the future. Will definitely be re-reading it again this year. Good recommendation Clark!

[@dannytetreault]

Stumbling on Happiness by Dan Gilbert The Surrender Experiment by Michael A. Singer The Way of the Superior Man by David Dieda The Psychology of Money by Morgan Housel The Body Keeps the Score by Bessel van der Kolk Thanks, Clark Dan T. PS that last book is a must buy for me. Recently diagnosed with PTSD. Moody hurts everywhere. It really hit home!

[@theivantang]

I just finished reading The Way of the Superior Man for the third time, and it completely changed the way I think about masculinity. This book is a must-read for any man looking to become the best version of himself. It's not just about being a 'tough guy' or following traditional gender roles; it's about developing inner strength and integrity, and living a life of purpose and fulfillment. If you're a man looking to step up and take control of your life, this is the book for you.

[@vidyakog5896]

Is it only for Men? Not for Women?

[@theivantang]

@@vidyakog5896 it's a good read for women too. Ideally the man and woman in a relationship read it together

[@Litovinski]

This book itself is an absolute crap. The first part is fine, it’s actually about superiority, but then! 4/5 of a book is about women and types of a women and women behavior! Seriously? Nothing about superior man) just another relationship book at least for 4/5 of it.

Just read "way of the superior man" thanks for the recommendation. Loved it. Explains so much that I already intuited, and validated my feminine desires, which I had if not felt ashamed of, certainly questioned, and wondered if they were weaknesses or faults. I agree its the kind of information that everyone would benefit from in adolescence.

Excellent list and summaries. I have only read the Surrender Experiment and it was fascinating. One thing you didn't mention about Michael A. Singer was that everything he did do, he did because it was just incredibly interesting to him. Also, He nearly didn't complete his Ph.D. but others pushed him to complete it because he was so close. My personal favorite is when he showed up to teach his class with no shirt on because he was so lost in his meditation then realized he needed to go teach. LOL. Adding these 4 additional books to my reading list for this year! Thank you for the awesome video!

Well I have never actually read outside of school or collage, but some things are happening to my life that I feel I need to get a new beneficial hobby in my life besides just playing video games.
