[@DomiLaber]

i ordered your book, but in Germany i will get book on the 10th January. So i dont will get the recive before your Workshop starts. How can i join your course?

[@PauTECtips]

Thanks for this❤. Please I like your video editing. It's absolutely outstanding and catchy. Please which software do you use?

[@Damonzaza]

Hello Ali! Do You have plans translate book to other languages?

[@tshabom]

Hi Ali, I’ve ordered the book but unfortunately I’m struggling to unload my receipt. What’s the alternative?

[@mohamediyoub9810]

[@emillybarboza9927]

I've been feeling really guilty for reading fiction books because I'm a law student and everyone around me always say that I should spend my time with law books and fiction is a waste of time, etc. So, this video makes me feel really happy. I love the phrase "read what you love until you love to read". Thank you for the tips and for helping me reassure that I'm not wasting my time by doing something I love!

[@estherogema3322]

I am happy to hear about this also, I love reading fiction books .

[@SheKonfusion]

I used to hate reading but I got into philosophy and now I can read anything without being bored.

[@michaelcorleone2794]

I'm not sure if this is a praise or a roast to the community lol

[@kwamebk]

Same I started reading Camus and reading has just been very pleasant ever since.

[@MissEugeniaS]

Agree. In addition to being able to understand completely abstract words of other people it just lifts you to 100 levels up in comprehension of any book.

[@DuyQuang-3a13]

might I ask what is your first book for Philosophy?

[@vlaadthelad256]

Would really appreciate any recommendations as well please.

[@thetravellershub]

My ADHD makes it super difficult to read books these days and if I do get around to it I have to read every sentence 3 times, but you (and Spotify including them in their plans lol) have motivated me to get into audiobooks recently and I’m smashing through them now so thank you!

[@reincarnate3440]

Wait, you can literally listen to audiobooks? I can only listen when I focus on listening to audiobooks, otherwise it would be part of the background noise lol.

[@thetravellershub]

@@reincarnate3440 yeah I listen to loads of podcasts and so when I listen to audiobooks I can focus on them in a similar way, I have to be doing something menial at the same time though lol but there’s always chores to do!

[@philly-kun691]

It's truly magical how reading something u r intrinsically interested in makes reading as a whole better, so I can really resonate with the first quote that was brought up!!

[@tituswillb]

1:23 thanks for being so thoughtful throughout your explanation!

[@littlemavis2221]

What a Presentation in 15 min!!! I'm excited to read your new book!

[@unclezizo]

I've just pre-ordered your book in the US. Thank you for all the value you provided us over the past few years, and I'm happy to support you as a thank you token. Good luck, and I hope that you make the bestseller list!❤

[@shahidkupe]

I have already bought Atomic Habits just started reading and excited to complete whole and read next more productivity books recommended by you.

[@Greenwitch_Garden]

Great tips! Thank you 😊

[@MrDwin8]

I've never liked reading as a hobby, but lately I've been feeling wanting to start reading books. Yesterday, December 15, my psychology professor, Wallis Back, gave me a book as a gift, Talk to Strangers by Matt Dahlia (one of the co-founder of Yes Theory), after giving her my answer sheet for my final exam. Today, I began reading the book to want to read. I've read about 10 page so far, but I'm liking I so far. Thank you for your awesome video! I always enjoy watching them!

[@ProseAndPetticoats]

Here are some additional tips 🤎 - Create a reading habit - Set goals (even if it's just one page) - Create a reading schedule - Set a timer (to combat distraction) - Turn off the internet on your phone - Find the right environment - Find out what is keeping you from reading more (and try to improve) Huge fan of reading multiple books at the same time. :)

[@Werisetilldeath]

how do you remember what you read?

[@ProseAndPetticoats]

@@Werisetilldeath By going slow and reading deep (don't focus on reading as many books as possible, that's the wrong mindset). Re-read favourite books. Take notes 🤎

[@wavveytae4181]

@@ProseAndPetticoatsthis is the way. Thank you

[@idrisahmed2659]

​@@Werisetilldeathu have to revisit books once u read them .... Read multiple books but when u revisit ... Introspect and analyse 1-2 books at a time .... What I do is read 2 non fiction books and one fiction book at once ... Non fiction in the morning and afternoon and fiction before going to bed

[@claireeliza4126]

Huge well done on hitting 5mill subscribers 😀👍

[@mkshahbazz]

Reading only for 15 minutes before sleep is my personal favorite.❤

[@kamboj65]

Until I was 16 (now 32), I didn't read any books because it was boring. A few years later, I tried to read one or two books a year but could not finish. Recently, I came across your channel, and it made a great impact on me, and I'm trying to build a habit that could help me to read more books. Thank you for your advice!

[@isalutfi]

I love this productive way by reading 100 books in 2024. Keep up Ali! 💐

[@nathanholt3821]

The two tips I resonate the most with are; Don't feel the need to finish a book and use audiobooks to 'get through' tougher reads. I never would have read a brief history of time if i didn't listen to it as an audiobook. Im so glad that I did!. It was really fascinating but there are so many points where I just would not have pushed through. There is one part of the book about quarks or whatever they are called. You have upquarks and down quarks. I would not have been able to get through that section as a reader, but through listening it just gets said to you. I think people feel a duty to finish a book as well because they think that is the best way to get all the value out of it. We don't apply that to KZbin videos as you say. So why we apply it to books ill never know.

[@CryptoAshkn]

Yea this what I'm trying rn. Like it's ok to read 70% of a book by skipping chapters i dont like or not my interest

[@Hugex97]

Don´t focus on reading too much, just enjoy the ride and get as much as you can from a snigle book. Who cares if you read only 12 books a year or so, as long as they are properly read and incorporated into your knowledge, it will be a win win

[@eman_raslan]

Yes....reading books also makes you not feeling lonely, its like having a punch of friends around;;;but without making any noise either lol

[@hiiiroobee]

I've always wondered why I have this rule where I have to finish a book before I start a new book and ended up grinding myself to finish it. Glad to know I am not the only one. Love these great action points here!! I now will give myself the permission to read books I do enjoy and take a pause on the books I stop enjoying.

[@xikmapodcast7588]

It's ok to quit a book while reading, I needed this line, thank you Ali

[@johnhawkins4908]

I've never set a reading goal, but because I enjoy reading, I usually read over a hundred books a year, I tend to read about 30 minutes in the morning and 30 minutes in the evening and also read while I'm on the treadmill or stationary bike (makes the workout easier). Most of the books I read are via the Kindle app on my iPad. I do read some paper books and listen to books on Audible. There are seasons when I don't read as much, but it never lasts. Sometimes I'm more into fiction, at at other times, I'm find myself reading nonfiction. Fiction, of course, is easier unless (sometimes) it's serious literature. This year I'm closing in on 150 books for 2023. Thanks, Ali, for emphasizing the importance of reading on your channel.

[@mishkaatrawjee1271]

2:45 I gave up reading the millionaire mindset last year and then I picked it up a few months ago and actually finished it. I definitely find this method helpful. Start a book. Don't finish it. And then pick it up again or never. It's fine.

[@micahkitchens2480]

Pro tip, don’t be afraid to skim. I started and finished “$100 startup” this afternoon. You can’t do that for every book but definitely most business and personal growth books. Not every word is necessary just get the key ideas and pick up some quotes and move on to the next book. Also I almost exclusively get all of my books from half priced books and buy used on amazon

[@MikeLyncheski]

Good point ... but for some reason I feel guilty like I am cheating.

[@NaderTaghinia]

I am never tired of reading Robert Adams' "Silence of the Heart" book, and I am always excited to delve into its wisdom. I truly enjoy exploring spiritual literature by great authors such as Eckhart Tolle, Adyashanti, Mooji, Sadhguru, and Anam Thubten and... However, "Silence of the Heart" holds a special place for me; it brings me genuine happiness. Blessings to the soul of whoever recommended it to me!

[@Iamjustaguy123]

Oh mennnnn....quiting a book was the hardest one yet for me. Couldn't feel like I have really added another one to my tier without doing it cover to cover. But the 7 habits of highly effective people changed everything for me. It's the first one I decided to give up on (I'm so sorry Stephen). The vocabulary was just too intense and rigourous for me. Felt like I was ploughing through and not enjoying. So I just watched the summary and it helped. Another tip is not to be shy to repeat books that you feel really had a very large impact on your life. I like to call these the books that center you. Current read. A really underrated book I found on gumroad of all places called Better You by a mysterious author named twelve ( he challenges anyone who was reading actively to decipher his name from the book-i think that's neat) anywho. I highly recommend yall enter 2024 with this little gem. It's like most of self help all in one but in an organised format and with a plan. Lastly let's all be readers that respect what we read by acting upon it. Thanks for sharing Ali Peace.

[@cody_codes_youtube]

Oh I’m excited to read Murtagh for continuing the Eragon dragon book series. This advice is spot on. You can have empty fun books along side the meaty books. Just have fun

[@amolamonkar94]

I preordered your book and can’t wait to read it

[@mishkaatrawjee1271]

2:17 I mean if it's an Ali Abdaal video I am watching it to the end. No option of clicking out 😂

[@roxieetc]

My trick is using my insomnia. Reading helps to put my mind at ease and actually helps me get an hour or two more than I would trying to sleep on my own. I FLY through books at night since there's very little distraction. During the day, I'm constantly picking it up and putting it down, so it's easier to knock out huge chunks at night. I use library books too since there's a "deadline" (I don't stress myself out about it though). I started reading in July and have 18 books read so far this year. It was a slow start since I was only buying one or two books a month. Since going to the library, I've averaged about 3 books every 2 weeks or so.

[@imj9]

the storygraph is another great way to gamify reading! 10/10, i like it much more than goodreads

[@KarlHempton]

I love the concept of having multiple books on the go at once. I saw a post a few days ago about having a Meal book and a Snack book on the go at all times. Meal book: Meaty book that deep dives into an area you really want to learn more about. You need to carve out time for these types of books as they need a lot of attention. Snack book: Something just to pass the time. Usually a fiction book, that you can just pick up and read at any random point throughout the day, without needing to pay too much attention.

[@score1015]

The quitting books idea SO WORKS. I was rereading Brave New World by Aldous Huxley over the summer because I was assigned it in Grade 10 (I'm now a third year university student) and I never actually got around to finishing it, I just read chapter summaries and so I could get the paper I had to write on it over with and then had to return the book. The premise was always very cool so I bought the book because I got into reading this year for leisure after not having read a book since high school. It was my 5th book of the year and I just could not finish it because of how wordy it was. I was stuck on it for about 2 months then I finally decided I'd just take a break on it and get to this other book I really wanted to read and I finished the other book in about 2 weeks (that's fast considering my average time currently is about a month since it's still not a habit yet).

[@mvvassy]

Your book is the first Pre-order I did. and an excited to read it.

[@saradebreceni8822]

Great vid! Just want to share that if you want to read more but don't want it to become an expensive habit, get your books second hand - charity shops have a great selection and they're usually super cheap plus you're supporting a good cause. World of Books is also a great place to get second hand books in good condition and keep them in use :)

[@shoegal]

12:16 agreed. Tracking my books in Goodreads has helped increase my reading. Storygraph might be helpful too.

[@naijahijabi]

A book I’m most excited to read rn: The Courage to be Disliked. Only a quarter of the way through so far and I’ve gained so much insight!

[@janemuses3031]

It was so pleasantly, refreshingly surprising to hear you like reading paranormal, fantasy, romance. 🙂

[@Maria_loves_water]

I am currently in love with reading because I started asking myself what movies and series I am usually watching. Then I started looking for and reading the same books and now I am an addict! I would suggest starting with something like romance or novels, and find those 2 genres in whatever way you like. For example crime novels.

[@Cyborg_1612]

One of the biggest lessons I learned to read consistently, is to remember that reading isn’t supposed to be pretty and aesthetic. You just pick it up and read. That perfect environment of snuggling up with hot cocoa just to read is never gonna actually come. So just pick up the book and read, wherever you are

Dont get obsessed with how many book u read. It's about the books u choose and how they benefit u. Read/listened to 15 books this year. 100 is too much and u will end up skimming most of them

Nice video, I'm trying to read at least 20 pages of a personal development book, now I'm reading the 4h workweek, I'm enjoying it, but it's dificult to take the reading's habit

[@nabil_syif]

i used to dislike reading until i read rich dad poor dad book but the cashflow quadrant one, the way that book change my mind like 360 degree, it makes me more interested on reading some more life-changing and self-improvement books because the school wouldn't teach us just like what these books has been teaching us

[@Murk.mp4]

I think the reason why quitting books is so hard is that, unlike watching a KZbin video or reading a newsletter, you don’t have to pay upfront. Whereas books, unless it was gifted to you, you do have this unavoidable pressure of finishing it because you invested money in it. The moment you quit is the moment you feel like you wasted money.

[@OmerAsh]

Another thing that forces me to finish reading books that I don't like is that I usually have a list at the end of each year of the books I've read, and I always find myself trying to fill this list even if it's at the cost of not enjoying the process.

[@Murk.mp4]

@@OmerAsh omg this is so true. We set unrealistic standards for ourselves that we forget to actually reading them for fun rather than turning it into homework

[@richard3581]

Am I the only one who wishes to know a list of all the books Ali has read? Or at least, most of them. It would feel like I would go through the same learning journey.

I was never a big audiobook person, but since getting an Apple Watch I’ve found them to be great for winding down before bed. While my ereader’s screen isn’t bad to use before bed because it’s warm and eink etc, I still prefer to be able to close my eyes soon after getting into bed. Audiobooks are great ways to ‘read’ fiction I find too. Non-fiction I’d rather read and be able to highlight, but I’ve been reading great books as audiobooks and at the same time not worrying if I tune out for half a minute or so

[@shewhoisaudacious]

Thanks, Ali. Loved this video.

[@yasmintimol3357]

[@Stormbrise]

I want to read The Cinder Spires, the first book The Aeronaut’s Windlass, by Jim Butcher. If you like whimsical fantasy, then pick up Jim Butcher’s The Dresden Files. I highly recommend to The Dresden Files on Audible because Spike, James Marsters, is the narrator or, and he is really good. Currently, I am trying to finish The Heaven and Earth Grocery Store, but keep getting interrupted by my mother who I am visiting for the holidays, or my husband. Then my brother comes in and turns on some weird program on the TV. So with my AuDHD, I am like unable to continue reading. Unless I hide somewhere, then I get my mom coming in asking if I am okay every 15 min, or my husband coming in to talk excitedly about some computer game he is playing.
