What The Heck Does Elliott Hulse Read?

[@elliotthulse1]

@scooterdooter If you REALLY want to be confused... keep watching and reading my materials! And if you want to get super frustrated, then try to pigeon-hole, judge or set expectations for me... I will disappoint every single time! I invite you to watch my video on "Mental Slavery"... thanks!

[@elliotthulse1]

@Quissoisso Thanks for viewing... i really appreciate it!

[@DaniIvanov7]

Elliott Hulse Yo Elliott! I've just watched this video about what you read. I am just curious to know in the 4 years since this video has been published and especially after the break from YT you took how your reading taste/interests have changed. What do you read now in 2015/What are the Top 5 books 2015 version of Elliott would recommend? Thumbs up this comment if you also want to know!

[@ricolini70]

Alexander Lowen, Osho, Emerson, Bahai books. That's all he reads now

[@SNRose0317]

Well about the mess... Albert Einstein said, "If a cluttered desk is a sign of a cluttered mind, of what, then, is an empty desk a sign?"

[@mrserious444]

But the opposite of cluttered is organized, so the saying is kinda flawed.

[@elliotthulse1]

@TheJoeGetem Thank you! this has been one of the best compliments I've gotten... I really appreciate it. I find that the more expansive your studies, the more valid your position when asked, that is why I'll read The Bible & The Koran, etc. The most deplorable are those who have been force fed their ideals and then accept them as truth. I accept NOTHING, especially that which the masses take on face value. For all intents and purposes, Mental / Spiritual Slavery is a choice! (that most choose)

[@SJRogers0786]

What is up with that intro music?!?!?!?!

[@elguapo5857]

He's changed a shitload 😂 Look at his videos from like 2013 & up you'll see

[@skyrnir]

What`s wrong with it?

[@RyyFoo]

lmaoo shits fire bru wat u mean

[@Quissoisso]

One of the best videos you've ever made IMHO. Since the start of the "Yo! Elliot" your videos are just getting better.

[@fellowship619]

Great video. Now my question is when do you find time to read it all? And also, how do you read? Word for word, skimming? What are your techniques? Do you devote a period of time each day toward reading, just as you devote time to working out? I have always wanted to be a learning man, but it's hard because there are so many things to learn and getting the ball rolling is the hardest part. Thanks, I think what you are doing is great and I wish you the best.

[@bane3991]

Read a set number of pages a day. You won't build up to what he has done in a year. He's in his 30s I believe if not 40s. It looks like he has about 500 books there. Try with a book a week. Or 3-5 books a month. 40-50 books at the end of the year. It will probably take about 10yrs to reach what he has done. And who knows if he read those books cover to cover. Some people just read a couple chapters or even a single chapter and that's it.

[@dinkylicous1234]

watched this in 2011 and came back once again

[@elliotthulse1]

@treverbettis i wouldn't argue with that statement.

[@elliotthulse1]

@spot603 i really didnt start reading until after college... and even still my attention span is short, thats WHY I have so many books!

[@UZYYYY]

This video I think has given allot of people, if not everyone a LOT more confidence in what you say and less doubts to your ideas and training etc

[@elliotthulse1]

@seymond2000 no, buy i am reading robert greene's 33 Laws Of War and he refers to it quite often.

[@chrizzy222]

insane that i seen a comment like this on a channel like this, i took part in my first ayahuasca ceremony 2 weeks ago and there are no words for what you experience

[@amenhotep7704]

to me The Prince by Niccolò Machiavelli was an Influancial legendary book... a must read to everybody who loves truths.... n trust me Elliot you shouldnt miss it n read it carefully... its gonna change your whole life

[@OwnageKingX]

i really enjoy your stuff elliot, absolutely love it. although you didn't answer the last part of his question, but my jaw dropped at how amazing your collection is. Really dig it

[@BAKPower1]

honestly one of my favorite videos you've done

[@J0k3r4U]

@strengthcamp bro I'm beoming a BIG fan of yours! You're so positive! It's damn good that someone can take a holistic, eficient approach to wellness as so many people only go for physical and neglect mental, emotional and spiritual. You're a real role model wth your attitude. Looking forward to more vids! :-)

[@pangyzzle]

damn never figured u to be a settled family man from your videos but very inspirational to see a lil bit of ur personal life

[@elliotthulse1]

@aaron3299 I Invite you to read my Manifesto Of Strength. I share it for free at the end of this video.

[@factualfantasy]

YO elliot! good to see you have read osho man. I highly recommend the book Absolute Tao written by him, all of his books are great this one has had the most effect on my life. Also look into Alan Watts but you probably already have. Peace brother.

[@72Strongman]

@spot603 I never liked to read until I was about 23, so don't give up. Just try and read what interestes you. And if you read just 5 pages a day you can complete a 300 page book in 2 months. That's much better than not reading at all. I hated reading when I was younger (and had trouble reading when I was younger), but now that I have learned that reading makes me grow and become better...I read about 1 book per week. Goodluck and keep going strong!

[@dwahviad]

ur a really inspirational man bro. man respect your familys lucky to have you

[@elliotthulse1]

@Nikon05 I'm not a big fan. Interesting book though.

[@elliotthulse1]

@gr8whitehyp3 if you like Thick Face, you'll love the book I'm reading now... 33 Strategies Of War by Robert Greene! THanks.

[@elliotthulse1]

@aaron3299 Im really not sure if he is a racist or not, and i really don't care... I actually never even bought it up in the video so Im wondering how you projected your thoughts into my mouth?

[@seanSHRED87]

Yo Elliot! Thanks for bringing me into your home dude. I love this channel. I always learn something new and cool. Peace

[@elliotthulse1]

@timesente I LOVE Ken Wilber's stuff... about to order a copy of Integral Spirituality. Thanks for sharing!! I'll add No Boundary to the shopping cart :)

[@rootytootbananaboy]

Love the song you used as the intro song in this video. Fits the video nicely.

[@elliotthulse1]

@umbilicaltapeworm No but it sounds very interesting, im going to look them up now. i never thought of my thinking as agnostic, but it really is the best way to describe it... child-like for sure. -- "Nothing of any importance can be taught. It can only be learned, and with blood and sweat." truer words have rarely been spoken. THANK YOU!

[@barneyserruya3535]

His voice is so high pitched compared to now

[@elliotthulse1]

@rickvanwijngaarden yes, i use it with Bronaid... refer to my "sneaky fat loss supplement hack" video.

[@chriswww]

The reason they say write down everything you can remember about your dreams is it exercises your ability to recall the dream, and with practice you can remember more and more. Another thing you can do is get in the habit of performing reality checks, after you have a lot of notes taken down try and find re-occurring themes, like some people find that in dreams clocks run backwards or their hands are warped. Make a habit of looking for these things and it may help you realize you're dreaming.

[@TheJoeGetem]

yo elliot , you have got to be one of the best ppl on youtube for advice an answers . keep doing hat you do and i`ll keep coming back btw my deadlift went up 20lbs just from your last vid thanks on that i really got to work on it but its moving in a better direction . its also refreshing to see a strongmans strong mind not that you dont show it every video . and im a brown man and have read books on david duke sam adams victor crowley pimpin ken and monster kody to know is to grow . good shit E

[@jeffmurnahan]

That intro music is hilarious 😂 I just came to compare your voice from this time period to your current deeper voice

[@HankFuller333]

God... glad you had that guy do the intro music for you lol

[@chriswww]

You may also be interested in OBE's (out of body experiences) Check out these books: Astral Dynamics by Robert Bruce, Ultimate Journey, Journeys out of the body and Far journeys by Robert A. Monroe.

[@NikolaiJP]

It would be really cool if you started doing a weekly book review video type thing Elliott!

[@DobatoFisherAcc]

I think Elliott should write a book, compiling all of his blogs, ideals, and strength tips and thoughts, and possible create one every so often when he develops new ways to encompass various techniques in becoming the strongest version of himself.

[@elliotthulse1]

@KaelinSaint I just lost 50 pounds... i was 249 in April 2010. I've always been short though :)

[@elliotthulse1]

@dettman77 Yes. And it has been my experience that NO ONE has "completely figured it out"... in fact, I don't see that there is any "figuring it out" to be done, and that those who claim the have "figured it out" are amongst the most lost and confused of us all. “For My thoughts are not your thoughts, Nor are your ways My ways,” Isaiah 55:8-9

[@mattyelle1]

Spirituality, Philosophy & Knowledge all solidify your mental strength that allows you to achieve your goals. My top books: #1 Don't Stop Your Mind - James J Traitz #2 Tao of Jeet Kune Do - Bruce Lee #3 The Power of Now - Eckhart Tolle My other books vary from history (war, societal, economics), economics, geo-political, survival, and self-sustainability. Basically, follow your pure curiosity and interest, not that which is manipulated by the mainstream media and normalcy biased sheep.

[@elliotthulse1]

@nfisgreat Cinderblocks are too light for lifting LOL -- make stones... i have a video that shows you how.

[@phaedruslive]

i was thrilled to see the book of 5 rings. i have to assume you've also read the hagakure. and more than likely you know machiavelli's the prince. good stuff

[@PassionForWater]

@strengthcamp Elliot I noticed you had 4 hour Body, have you ever read "The 4 hour work week"? If so, did you like it? Have you ever read "The Way of the Peaceful Warrior" or any of Dan Millmans stuff? His stuff were the first few books that got me into self development and a more spiritual side.

[@elliotthulse1]

@phaedruslive yes! I like the alchemist and warrior of light! thanks!

[@eshw23]

im surprised as hell you didnt talk more about the power of now that book was out of this planet good good

[@MindsEyeBlinks]

I really enjoyed this video, and plan on heading to the library to pick up some books !! :) And it left me wondering what music do you listen to?

[@elliotthulse1]

@dettman77 Thank you brother. I appreciate your humility and concern. First, in my experience there is nothing more INCONSISTENT than the idea of God, God's Divine Manifestations (ie. Christ), and holy books as The Bible. These things and people are full of huge inconsistencies, and it is perfectly beautiful that way! As a student and seeker, I too find the greatest expressions of God in inconsistency.

[@elliotthulse1]

@ILUVJEZUZ94 I invite you to learn this at your young age... the minute you say "most___ people do this or that." you are being prejudice and extending your thoughts, conditioning and repression upon that person... it is just as violent as physical slavery.

[@elliotthulse1]

@bongapendo "Abdul Baha" -- nope.

[@bigro4444]

Read staying healthy with the seasons by Elson M. Hass, M.D.

[@TheJoeGetem]

@strengthcamp well put Elliot the marks of a true wise man

[@jasonbos7]

Hi Elliott, what are you reading at the moment? Can you do an update of this video???

[@Pentazoid111]

I figured as much, but I just couldn't resist it! Too tempting

[@elliotthulse1]

@pangyzzle Thanks, yea I have 4 children... 3 daughters and a son.

[@Roadkill300E]

Yo Elliott, I know this is an old video but you should try reading a book my dad told referred me to called The Book of Five Rings. I had a hard time making sense of it but there is apparently another whole book written to explain the original. Check it out!

[@robqwert2696]

lol...listen an audiobook of this book.... definitely a must read

[@AmanVarmaa]

He already read.. it's in the video

[@Shirokumasan2]

Elliott, I looked up after writing this and saw you did a video on Mind Mapping. I'll listen to it now and see if you do use any software to do your mapping. Thanks.

[@cq6976]

Great video, I bookmarked a lot of those books. I just wish you would have told us what you do to retain the information. The guy at the beginning of the video asked this.

[@DeMoNSe3d]

Great video man, It gives us an idea on who is the guy behind the muscle. Have you red the Bret Contreras book about glute training? He has interesting ideas.

[@chrizzy222]

same, that was the first psychedelic iv ever taken and it was in a shamanic ceremony, you seem to have the right idea about it, explore your own consciousness! :) good luck

[@dirosaga]

Yo Elliot, you should write a book. Seriously. About what you've found is most important, what has made the biggest difference in your life. DO IT man.

[@NJnaturalBB]

Great video, have you ever considered working at a school as a strength coach?

[@asda6572]

v that would be interesting, both hulse and rogan have some amazing info to share

[@sameergidvani1988]

Elliot...I have one feelin...I feel it...sometimes...I feel that some people(I don't know them)...will detroy all the good books in the world...so that people dont get the secret....BUT then I SOLVE THIS QUESTION MYSELf........taht ..many people have already read good books..and even if books are detroyed..they are present in the memory of those people who have already read them..like elliot hulse...

[@JoshDG92]

You can kill the person, but you cant kill the idea. don't worry :)

[@guillaumefloatin91]

this is the subjet of a book called " fahrenheit 451"...

[@930102al]

Thanks alot, will check those out bro.

[@Shirokumasan2]

Elliott, This is a great post. I have a question on mind mapping. I know you use the white-boards. Have you considered using mind mapping software (there are several great ones out there)? I use CMAP personally. It may help you to declutter your stuff and you can print-out your ideas and update them (and share them online with whomever). I use a combo of Evernote and CMAPing to the many great ideas come to life. I didn't know if you're going that direction or not. John

[@stellailyayev8861]

nice video!! I lovee books too! Im shocked don miguel ruiz is not on here the four agreements was really wonderful too, definelty check out emerson's stuff he sounds brilliant.

[@Dedfool22]

you should read the "The Tao of Pooh", "The Te of Piglett",(By Benjamin Hoff) and Jonathan Livingston Seagull and Illusions:The adventures of a reluctant messiah (by Richard Bach). These are outstanding books i read in JHS

[@elliotthulse1]

@NJnaturalBB HEEELL NO! I would never work for anyone, ever again... unless forced to do so. (especially a school! - I hate school!)

[@i7like7to7trip7]

i love that you love reading. i love reading too :)

[@BlueHefnerT]

Ive probably watched all your vids lol. Time to start readin these books.

[@currycurrypatriots]

@strengthcamp have you read Mind Gym? One of the best books ever. Even as a 14 yr old i find it interesting and helpful enough to refer back to its tips every so often

[@ThuBuddman]

Ayn Rand!!!!!!! Yes!!!!! I thought you were cool but throwing props out to ayn rand was awesome!!!! I think you would like the book...Siddhartha

[@FlatLeeo]

Wow I'm fascinated about the fact that you read Osho!!! awesome! By the way, Osho did not write, the books are just his discourses written down :).

[@milkh2o]

its all good elliot. thanks for your long ass video. i like it and appreciate it :)

[@TBstreet3]

Loving the Toby keith intro to the video.

[@OiAbA]

YO ELLIOT!! the gym i go to doesn't have a free standing barbell, it only has a smith machine, would this be any good for deadlifts?

[@justcallmeDiesel]

@strengthcamp Beast . Im 5'9'' 215 but not as ripped as you =/ Working on it though. Thank god for your vids and knowledge haha

[@ve4ny]

Hi gues ! Many time ago i watced old video with Elliot were he recommend some book with chinese autor (about qigong, bioenergetic) . Can you say to me, how did this book name? Or give me a link on that video please

[@achemhem]

Yo Elliot, what do you mean by type III muscle fiber? Isn't there only type I, type IIa, & type IIb?

[@MrSweatish]

Just saying... very relaxing hearing you talk quietly Elliot :)

[@seymond2000]

Another author you may enjoy is John C. Maxwell. He is the guru on leadership.

[@ButteryAssAbel]

ive been reading books about drugs like DMT the spirit molecule- rick strausman, the doors of perception- aldous huxley. Elliot, have you ever heard about out of body experiences or lucid dreams? you can probably watch a ton of vids of them here on youtube. ive had about 5 lucid dreams myself and they are probably the craziest things i have done.

[@rickvanwijngaarden4473]

what's that at 17:28? are you using stackers?

[@DimeRB2496]

Nvm i saw that you had The Power of Now, one of my all time favorite books, what do you think of it?

[@elliotthulse1]

@yyportne Thanks!

[@KornMikkel]

You should check out some books about Norse Mythology also. :)

[@RespectWong]

Best question!

[@guillaumefloatin91]

At 16.00 could someone give me the references of the two blue binder , I am french, I can heard "paul check " all about psycho-cybernetics, how the brain work .... thank you very much

[@PharaoRamsesII]

Hey, I know, I'm pretty late. But i have tried it for a week and i had (I would call it) half - lucid dreams, where I remember nearly all of the stuff I experienced. I'll give it another try soon. Peace out.

[@BrianHallmond]

That guy asking the Questions has ... so. much. personality. .-.

[@thelaurels13]

Some great reads in there, several of which I own.

[@stickwithsam5433]

Really impressed!!

[@armandomarquez2517]

Yo elliot im not sure if u already read this book but read the 50th law its really interesting

[@wowawewah]

can you explain in a simple form how to do it? i've looked into it and all it says you have to be tired during the day and go to sleep and also to take notes of your dreams right after you wake up. is this correct?

[@MaaNonu123]

If you ever get a chance you should read Season of Life, I think you would like it.

[@TheIftek]

What books can you recommend for body language?

[@cdoubled05]

Good stuff!
