Solid picks, Ali. One book that completely changed my approach to business is Untold Business Masterclass, It goes deep into strategies that are rarely talked about but make all the difference !
Not read it. But its marketing is so corny that I doubt them already. The masked thief in the cover. We have a “mission” No hate. Really intrigued if its just trolling by the op. Is the book really good or another try at being edgy
Perfect timing, Ali! 📚 I’ve been deciding on books to kick off 2025, and your video is exactly what I needed. 😄 The mix of business, health, productivity, and fantasy is so inspiring! 🙌 I’m definitely adding a few of these to my list. Any recommendations for someone who wants to start the year focused on personal growth? 💡
Depending on the type of personal growth you're after... The Compound Effect , Atomic Habits, and You're a Badass are books that helped me. One's that I'm looking to read in the new year are Psycho Cybernetics, Influence, The Psychology of Money, Key Person of Influence, Feel Good Productivity...
I find people skills are important as well which is why for negotiation and people skills 1.Dale Carnegie - How to win friends and influence people 2. Chris Voss - Never Split the difference 3. Robert B. Cialdini - Yes
Another well timed video. I sat down today to start thinking about what the first few books I wanted to read next year were and you've given me at least 10 I haven't see before! Thank you!

Honestly Ali, I'm glad that I don't have to read any productivity books anymore because I know if it's something really worked changing or adding to a routine I know you're going to make a video about it lol. I've already listened to your other tips and tricks for your last few videos for 2025 It seems like it's a very straightforward approach for goals.
Summary(like it to find it fast😊😊) Productivity: 1) Getting things done 2) the pathless path 3) less 4) slow productivity 5) million dollar weekend Business: 6) Ready, fire & aim 7) million dollar weekend 8) the goal 9) steve jobs 10) traction This two category is most important but make sure you like❤ it so that everyone get benefit😊😊
I loved watching this video! It's always great to see someone's enthusiasm for books and reading. I'm definitely going to check out some of the books you recommended, especially the ones by Brandon Sanderson. Your passion for reading is infectious!
The book ‘Good Work’ sounds really good, I will add that to my to read pile. I agree with your sentiment about sometimes feeling the need to get permission to follow my passions or needing a social model. I started my TH-cam channel last month and so this is well timed for me 😊
Great selections, thanks for this list! On Traction book... I did the same thing in my business of trying to ignore aspects of the EOS framework or blend it with others. Big mistake! After I re-aligned everything to Traction and the 6 key components of the EOS framework everything started to click! I eventually sold my 5 businesses all running on EOS and became an EOS coach... which is the other thing that accelerated and simplified our growth. Game changer when you go all in on one operating system and hire a coach. Thanks again, Ali!
Way back in the business section when you plopped down your phone to show the cover of the business book you were recommending, I saw across the bottom that you were on Chapter 103 of Wind and Truth! My eldest and I went to Nexus Dragonsteel 2024, and it was sooooo epic. We've finished the book, and I loved it. Sanderson is probably my favorite author, as well, and Robin Hobb is in my top five for sure, both of whom were there. As a mathematician, I will have to checkout the Japanese series! By the way, Dr. Joel Fuhrman is one of my favorite non-fiction authors, and his best best book is Eat to Live. He exudes evidence and logic in everything he advises.
Hi Ali, can you please make a video on your finances such as how many bank accounts do you have, how many credit cards and which ones. And when someone leaves UK, what are the necessary steps to take in order have a smooth leave from UK without getting in trouble with HMRC. Thanks
Ahhh, books😁 my current reads: 12 week year ( courtesy of your rec!), the ikigai journey, Mistborn saga 1- Sanderson is my 2025 tome. I have deemed 2025 a green year for me, the Universe has been summoned😊
Any recs for female authors, or productivity channel recommendations from a female perspective? I believe an unspoken benefit many of these authors have for productivity, focus, etc. is a wife at home keeping the boring and distracting home tasks running smoothly. Single folks and working women don't have that same benefit (though some aspects can be outsourced).
Hi Ali: Do you anotate your books? Or how do you take notes? After reading it completely, or during your reading at the end of one chapter? I would like to hear what is the method you use to learn from the books you read. Thank you
I agree that it's hard to describe the book The Power Of Now hahahah I once recommended it I was asked to describe it and I sounded like a student trying to pass the recitation who's been absent for a week hahaha
Hi Ali, I just finished reading your outstanding work (Feel Good Productivity) and while I was reading the last paragraph, it felt like a bittersweet end to a movie... The book was really amazing and kept me hooked for all 10 days!!! Can't wait to read some books from this list (and maybe your next book too!!😉)
I do a mixture. Test both and see what method allows you to stay focused. For me nothing beats opening and changing pages. Plus a having a book collection 😊
Love how you manage to make book recommendations actually entertaining! The way you weave your personal experiences with each book makes it so much more relatable than just listing off titles. Plus, that mix of productivity and fiction books shows you're a real person, not just a productivity robot 😄 Key Points Bullet List: • Four book categories: productivity, business, health, fiction • Getting Things Done - core productivity system for busy life • Rest and slow work lead to better results • Social media impacts mental health (Gen Z focus) • Brandon Sanderson books for fiction escape • Mixing practical books with enjoyable reading is important Flash Cards: Front: Best productivity book for basics? Back: Getting Things Done by David Allen - comprehensive system for organizing tasks and projects Front: Why is rest important for productivity?

Feel Good Productivity is the best book I have read in 2024 and the top 3 self help books of all time, Ali please keep up the good work, really enjoy your youtube videos...imagine when you are 40 you should be headed for a noble prize
Idk man, I'm not convinced by the social media argument. Cos I stayed away from social media all of my life. Only have Whatsapp to text people, have an Instagram and Facebook account to stay connected with my older friends on which I haven't ever posted and hardly login to. I still have severe anxiety.
Mate, I love your videos but honestly there's so much advertisement these days, it's getting annoying. The workshop, your book, the sponsor of the video, etc. on top of the regular youtube ads. Thanks for the reading list, I will defo add some of them to my list for 2025.
Hi ali bro i am 18 year old boy going to college . seeing your videos for productivity and but cant do it wisley pla give me tips to increase concentration and suggest me some begginer friendly books to read and spend my on books .........
My GF always reads fiction and i used to laugh at her reading something else the syllabus but now that i have been watching you since 2020, this year i picked up steal like an artist read it in 2 days and then in 2024 i have read total of 5 books from your recommendations. Next year i want to read 1 book a month. But i still don't like reading but i want the knowledge.
How do you always manage to maintain the information you read in books? Is my brain just slowly becoming brainrotted because I feel like after finishing a book it never truly feels as inspiring and eye-opening as you make it out to be.
I feel you man, I have the same issue. I think some people just have incredible memory skills. For us it's just about repetition, reading a book multiple times is a must if I feel it's of value

Thanks for posting this.
I was actually looking for a video like this from you while putting together my Christmas gift list.
I recommend everyone to find the book titled The Hidden Path to Manifesting Financial Power, It changed my life.
19 boo- I can’t catch up before 2025 I’m still reading your other recommendations through the year 😂😂 let’s go!!!!
Two books I recommend: The Peacegiver by James Ferrell and Transitions by William Bridges.
The book ‘Good Work’ sounds really good, I will add that to my to read pile. I agree with your sentiment about sometimes feeling the need to get permission to follow my passions or needing a social model. I started my TH-cam channel last month and so this is well timed for me 😊

That's why I'm here to learn something from my hero productivity 🤩
I am also obsessed with Brandon Sanderson and I lolled that I have read the same books as you this year. Boy, do we have an addiction…
book review is the paramount hot topic its one of the reason iam following ali since 2018.
Urgh I love Higashino Keigo. Love that Ali is catching on to Japanese authors 🤍
Hello 😊
I’m new here and loving it already
Thank you Ali Abdaal
Wait, you're going to be a dad?! I missed that before. Congratulations for both of you! All my thoughts for a beautiful healthy baby
Ahhh, books😁 my current reads: 12 week year ( courtesy of your rec!), the ikigai journey, Mistborn saga 1- Sanderson is my 2025 tome. I have deemed 2025 a green year for me, the Universe has been summoned😊
Just what I needed! I really wanted to the ready fire aim but couldn't remember the name right.
Amazing. Got to read all these in 2025
Read in 2024 (in title) ? or 2025 Dr.Ali 0:57
Oooh and I love the sound of the book about rest
Any recs for female authors, or productivity channel recommendations from a female perspective? I believe an unspoken benefit many of these authors have for productivity, focus, etc. is a wife at home keeping the boring and distracting home tasks running smoothly. Single folks and working women don't have that same benefit (though some aspects can be outsourced).
Came here to make a similar point. Not including a single woman on this list in 2024 is a choice.

I love Sanderson. I wish tress of the emerald sea was a series.
ready fire aim has one of the most compelling titles ever to me: "Ready, Fire, Aim: Zero to $100 Million in No Time Flat"; its legendary
ooh and i'm also rereading the final empire right now (: ; left my own pits of hathsin
Great video 👍🏻
I think you have a dirty sensor on your overhead camera.
Do u recommend paper books or digital books . Which one is generally better?
I do a mixture. Test both and see what method allows you to stay focused. For me nothing beats opening and changing pages. Plus a having a book collection 😊

Finding the 'Zyphura Money' ebook should be your top priority, even if it's the last thing you do in life
Can someone put the books in a list
They are in the description it looks like.
My GF always reads fiction and i used to laugh at her reading something else the syllabus but now that i have been watching you since 2020, this year i picked up steal like an artist read it in 2 days and then in 2024 i have read total of 5 books from your recommendations.
