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...
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!
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
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.

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 😊
I'm halfway through your book and even at the initial pages, your book has changed me ...I sincerely thank you for the effort that you have clearly put in it. Found your book at a much-needed time...
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.
ali I feel you I can’t stop telling everyone I know and meet and their mom to read Brandon Sanderson! I read the final empire in October and it completely got me hooked into reading fiction for the first time in years. 3 months later and I just finished all the other books of the cosmere and am starting the secret projects and then wind and truth as well so I can’t wait to hear your thoughts on it! Would love a book club video on it ❤️
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!
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😊
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😊😊
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
I have accumulated a total of 290k today. I am truly grateful for all the knowledge and information you have provided me over the past few weeks. I started with 55k just 2 months ago.
Sophie Rogerz? I was introduced to her by a friend. My husband and I have been working with her for months, and it was through her profits that we were able to grow in the real estate market.
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 😊
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 .........
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!!😉)
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.
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).
What about the reading book "Al-Quran " It is the best book ever. You should read it and also u can suggest for reading about this holy book to ur followers.

Hello 😊
I’m new here and loving it already
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.

Thank you Ali! Really appreciate the video. ☺
thank you so much Ali!
Thank you Ali Abdaal
19 boo- I can’t catch up before 2025 I’m still reading your other recommendations through the year 😂😂 let’s go!!!!
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…
ali I feel you I can’t stop telling everyone I know and meet and their mom to read Brandon Sanderson! I read the final empire in October and it completely got me hooked into reading fiction for the first time in years. 3 months later and I just finished all the other books of the cosmere and am starting the secret projects and then wind and truth as well so I can’t wait to hear your thoughts on it!

Two books I recommend: The Peacegiver by James Ferrell and Transitions by William Bridges.
That's why I'm here to learn something from my hero productivity 🤩
What method you used to shave your arms?
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 love Sanderson. I wish tress of the emerald sea was a series.
Thankyou
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
Helpful
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
Missing the link to the Cal Newport Video
Ah Wind and Truth spotted! how good is Sanderson?
Thanks I'm enjoy this video
which app did he use for audiobooks???
I have accumulated a total of 290k today. I am truly grateful for all the knowledge and information you have provided me over the past few weeks. I started with 55k just 2 months ago.
If I may ask, how do you manage to earn so much? What are your strategies?
Diving into the digital market is definitely advisable, but it requires expert guidance, and with Ms. Sophie Rogerz, you can’t go wrong.
HOW!? I know it is possible. I would appreciate it if you showed me how to do it.
Sophie Rogerz? I was introduced to her by a friend. My husband and I have been working with her for months, and it was through her profits that we were able to grow in the real estate market.
I keep hearing a lot about Ms. Sophie; she must be really good.
Have you read the Productivity project by Chris Bailey?
Hi Ali, are you still following skin care routine recommended by your friend? Thanks :)
Can’t believe you’re on ‘The Devotion of Suspect X’ now. Let’s get you hooked on to translated contemporary literary fiction ASAP
I know all knowledge of Books because of Ali.❤❤❤

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 😊
I am a super Brando Sando Fan !!

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
What about your 100 books list?
Wait, you did an Ayahuasca retreat?! Are you willing to do a video about it?! That's super interesting!!!
Wow amazing ❤
5 hours in and this video has ZERO dislikes. This is unheard off
Videos don’t show how many dislikes they have any more
@@uzairsuleman I have a chrome extension that allows me to see it
Can someone put the books in a list
They are in the description it looks like.

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!!😉)
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
Reading his book now and loving it. What are the other two self-help books you put in your top three?
you didn't cover the 12 week year
I’ve taken a lot of recommendations and the best thing I did was listening to you 🎉
Right after Pewdiepie book review :P

Came here to make a similar point. Not including a single woman on this list in 2024 is a choice.

Meritocracy is more important than this DEI nonsense.
That said Elizabeth Filips is the GOAT.
What about the reading book "Al-Quran " It is the best book ever. You should read it and also u can suggest for reading about this holy book to ur followers.
I recommend everyone to find the book titled The Hidden Path to Manifesting Financial Power, It changed my life.
it's kinda crazy how nobody's talking about the forbidden ebook called Zyphura Money by Hunter Zypher
