This is a great message, and I totally agree!!

i dont know how exactly but your videos give me hope

I read Tomorrow and Tomorrow and Tomorrow and it made me desperately want to enjoy video games because of how the book presented it. It sounded like a blast so I tried playing some different video games alone and with my brother. I soon realized the video gaming world is not for me as I thought, but I’m happy the book inspired me to try!

Both activities can be a kind of meditation and help with focus.

Seeing the younger you as one of those 'other people' that can have a different experience with the same book is such a valuable motivation to focus on rereading instead of always looking for new stuff. Thanks Tim!

Finally a faceless channel. Whooooooshhh!!!

i loved this video! not only did it link together two of my favourite topics, but it did so effortlessly and kindly. i hope you have a good rest of your day anyone reading this !!

Forty Hadith (Islamic mysticism) reminds me to try and be a better person just by looking at the cover

The count of monte cristo has a fantastic movie/tv adaptation with Gerard Depardieu as Edmond Dantes. Really worth it if you can find a English version or with subtitles

I'm reading a book "everthing is figureoutbale" I learn alot; make a prespectives everthing is figureoutbale if its not a fact/law and accidemtally learnt the correct way of thinking and most important recommended book (the war of art).. your videos are helpful. books in the shelves are more realistic instead in the soft form (true)

good playlist i came from don koe

Hello Tim! I remember you mentioning Brothers Karamazov in your other video. I didn't decide to read that book (yet), BUT! I've decided to read The Idiot by Dostoyevsky! The copy I got was cheap, really! Only around 8 bucks (converted from my currency) and I'll be reading it after I finish a book called Tales from Left Pocket Second Pocket by Karel Čapek (I love this author!). If you would want to, check out his children's book Doggy and Kitty! The illustrations are very nice. My parents used to read it for me when I was a child. And, of course, great video! If you do end up reading this, I wish you a great day!

wow, i also started reading harry potter for the first time recently! I'm currently in the half blood prince, I started maybe 4 weeks ago with the first book (took a week break due to exams though) and honestly what you say resonates with me perfectly, i'd had a bit of a reading slump before harry potter as I was reading another book 'the associate' and was stuck on it for a month because I was never free enough to dedicate time to reading, but when I did I was on a roll and felt very productive after that reading harry potter also gave me the same feeling of excitement but also calmness

🖤 love this channel.

Few people might come across this, but I thank you so much. Life is being super busy right now (having classes from morning to noon almost every day) and that feeling of "I just wanting to relax!" has never been bigger. I got 2 books that, if I manage to find some time, I will love to fill up and share with you! One is "*Piranesi*", by Susanna Clarke. Although it isn't necessarily a though read, it is so unique that I wanna take a deeper dive into it, it requires a lot of imagination and apreciation of the simple. The other is "This is Not a Book", by Keri Smith. Well, she's the author or "Wreck this Journal", but this one is very unique. It makes me feel like I'm a child again, which comforts me a lot. It's like a bunch of quests that, on their own, don't mean much, but the experience is what makes that "book" special. That's it, I'd recommend Piranesi for some, but everytime I say that it feels odd, it's an odd book. I wanna finish it when I get my imagination a bit better, then I'll say what I think about it. Thanks DeMoss, you've been helping me with the small things. -Brazil

Too many freemasons

Como amante del brócoli, puedo decir que esto le hace justicia 💚🥦

Yay! I love it, Tim!

this is exactly the reason why i recommend to all of my friends and acquaintances to read books & why i think everyone should read. (incidentally i also go on walks just for the sake of walking every day, and have done so for the past 4-5 years. can definitely recommend.) thank you for the concise & eloquent video! 😊

as a lifelong reader and walker, i really really loved this. never thought of things this way, but you're absolutely right. and i did need the reminder that i don't always need to be reading for a specific purpose, aiming for a specific outcome--it's valuable to read just for the sake of reading :)

Bhai Bhai ...... you're just so so unique in terms of content and articulating in a subtle way! Thanks for being there🍀

Ah it’s good stuff. Subscribed.

Reasons to Read #10 - You don't need a reason

I love this comparison

0:40 your wife knows whats up. I also enjoy taking walks heading no where.

Great video! I love taking evening walks with my family. It’s something so simple but it makes us all feel better. On a completely different note, I heard about something recently and wondered if you had any thoughts on it. There’s this thing called Magibook that makes classic, “hard” books easier to read. For example, it can turn this from The Great Gatsby, “In my younger and more vulnerable years my father gave me some advice that I've been turning over in my mind ever since.” Into this “When I was young, my dad told me something that I still think about.” I personally think this is a terrible thing because it completely changes the book and eliminates the vocabulary. It makes me think of Theseus paradox, like if all the words in a book are replaced, is it the same book? Everyone in my family agreed that this was a bad thing except my dad, who said as someone who would never read complicated books, it could give him the chance. Anyway, I’d live to hear what you think about this. (If you want to.) Love your videos.

I recently learned the words "assiduous" and "assiduity," after reading Jane Eyre. To me, they're a shade of blue-green.

reading is like forced meditation

i needed this. Appreciate you a lot!

This is probably the most important video of yours yet The one small gripe i had with your channel was that it seemed like it presupposed that reading was something that had to be justified with good *reasons to read*. And though I really enjoyed the reasons you did give, the small little thoughts, the ideas and perspectives… but all the time i was like ,why are you trying to justify this whole thing’ and i loved how you liberated yourself from this here and the idea with a walk is a beautiful analogy to illustrate Thank you so much

I have a few times walked AND read simultaneously. You need to have a time and place where you are able to do both safely, but it's crazy that, for a couple of times, what I was reading while walking has remained with me vividly. There must be some science of brain activation in there somewhere.

I love these simple, down to earth vids so much. I'm currently weaning myself off excessive social media use, and whenever I feel down, I remind myself that although I'd given up fun reading while going to school, afterwards, a decade later, I picked up Mark Lawrence's "Red Sister", and learned to love reading again. It's about the same process here, except we're all a little older and that little bit wiser. So read plenty, everyone, and take just as many walks.

every single one of these videos is a wonder i completely agree when i decided to re-read my favorite book (in the dream house) i realized that the first time around i missed some very interesting details for example: on the very first page of the book she mentions that one of her friends has a degree in library economy when i first read that book, i didn't pay attention to that but the second time around, when I was on my second semester of college studying library economy, that little detail popped out to me and i saw that whole section of the book differently i love these walks!!

Your videos were one of the reasons I'm back to reading after so many years. Instead of worrying whether I would understand the content of the book or not, now I'm just reading for the sake of reading. So, thanks.

I do love that analogy. Fun to think of it that way. How do you feel about reading a book out loud together. Have you done that?

I do like to read but actually tend to prefer an ebook to a physical book. Mainly because I like to read several things in parallel and have all of them on me, and the ability to change the font size and backlight are also nice. I recently picked up a paperbook and found the experience quite difficult because of the last two - just strains my eyes so much more. That said, this is a great video, and you raise some very compelling points, and conceptually I agree with you, just thought I'd share my perspective. As for what books I'd like to have around in case of an apocalypse, for info I'd probably like something about medicine and first aid; and for entertainment I'm choosing the Earthsea series by Ursula Le Guin!

Wow, so you know how do i get the sound to download 😊😅

Knowledge is not free, you have to pay. Pay attention

Was expecting the samples to maintain that crunchyness. You did too good of a job, now it just sounds like drums. 😂

actually cooking up beats in the kitchen! love this

Absolute fire my guy.

The algorithm worked this time, loved it

This is so awesome!!! I love making lofi beats, but never thought to use a veggie lmao

goated homie. one of my favourite vegetables too

Veggie Tales could never.

I love you, Tim. This is incredible.

Earlier this year I read The Myth of Sisyphus by Albert Camus. I picked it up mainly because of the Sisyphus memes and didn't realize what I was getting into. I quickly found it way more philosophical than I expected and making tons of references to the works of people that I only had shallow knowledge of like Kierkegaard, Nietzsche, Dostoevsky, Kafka, and more. Even though it was difficult to fully understand everything, I still found it interesting and very fulfilling to read. I then went on to watch some videos that go into further depth about the topic to better understand it.

love it! can i call it louie zong style? great song
