      Great video! I enjoyed the part about note taking, and contextualizing things in your own life. Made me realize that if I really want to understand these philosophy books, I should probably start performing philosophy... haha
      I recommend Nausea by Sartre.

    Great tips Reysu! here is a tip from Alex Hormozi which makes my reading experience much easier. Pick up the book and the audio book at the same time. Set the reading speed at a lvl you feel comfortable. This helps you to keep focus but also not get lost and you read a little bit faster. Second, you save what you read and heard in different sections of your brain, which makes it easier to remember what you read and lastly, I will try to finish each chapter I started.

      you can die with zero even building/passing on generational wealth. The book just talks about the idea that you should maximize the utility of your money, give however much inheritance you want while you’re alive, and ultimately enjoy the fruits of your labor

    Great video but I can't agree with the point of reading only interesting things. IMO that's the actual problem with today's humans. I know it sounds weird but think about it. All we do in our day is pleasurable. We want our job to be fun, not to produce something worth producing. Just look how many kids today want to be some kind of idiot fashion influencer or showing their ass on instagram for money. In China, kids want to be an engineer. Guess where that difference in youngest generation will lead us. We want to have interesting live, a career, travel etc so we don't have kids for example. We break relationships or even get divorced like crazy instead of put work into fixing and developing. Not to mention the obesity and diabetes epidemic that is 100% related to wanting pleasure without the effort.
    In the other end of the spectrum we have people like David Goggins for example. I know, he's nuts for many people. I agree, but that's the good kind of nuts. The friction is what make us strong, hard, just like our muscles get stronger by taking on just a little too much, making it hurt and sore and then letting them recover. They get destroyed a little, just like we do when doing difficult, unpleasant things. But think about what events or activities really changed your life in the past? In my case, and I suppose everyone would have it the same, it was something I didn't wanna do but did it anyway, "soldiered through" and it happened to make me much better, stronger etc. The best example is the fear of rejection when you approach a girl of your dreams. Today, 60% of white males are s*xless. Are they ugly, unactractive? Nope. They choose easy way - they launch corn hub and take matter in their hands so to speak.
    We're killing ourselves with pursuing pleasure without the effort.
