Enjoy!
Was AI used in the part about "Coddling of the American Mind"? It sounds a lot different than the rest of the video up to that point
Thank you !!!
i like the gym mark!
@@gabrielx6490 Wow, impressed you noticed it was different. No AI. But I ended up improvising that one because I switched it in last minute. Everything else was scripted.
You should read astavakra gita
I read the “Paradox of Choice” and now I wish you’d only suggested 3 books we should read.
Haha. 😁
I’m trying to choose an emoji to respond with but at overwhelmed 🥹
Good one bro
😂
lol
An author who is willing to do this for other authors? You're a good egg, Mark.

I'm grateful for the knowledge you've shared in this video, but I recommend everyone to go deeper into the rabbit hole, don't just stay on the surface, check out the book Whispers Of Manifestation on Borlest and you will be amazed at the incredible information found there.
The respect for "Man's search of meaning"💯
💯
❤
i look for this😂
'Influence' is the best psychology book i have ever read. Not a self-help book in any respect, it will absolutely change how you view and interact with others.
💯💯
Yes Worth reading. Also coddling of the American mind is really good.
Try Thinking Fast and Slow
@@hpvinayak02 kahneman's books are on my to read list. If you have other related books recommendations do share. Thanks!
I'm going to throw in for Atomic Habits. Great advice.
Love these tips/opinions. Thanks everyone!
The Power of Now is my bible. Every time I'm not doing well I read a page and I'm back on track. Nothing has given me such a sense of comfort and at the same time inspired me to change myself completely.

I just finished Man's Search for Meaning. It is beyond incredible. Frankl had to have had one of the most indomitable spirits humanity hs ever produced.
greetings to all and greetings to you Mark, great video and good books, I would add the book Astro Money Alchemy whose story dives deeper into the mysterious secrets of making money and the great secrets of it, genius and once again I would like to praise the video, thank you
Did it make you any better at making money?
@@armywhammer-dc9qk OP writes like A bot
Love your work and the ingenuity of summarising these books in a succinct, simple and absorbable manner. The ones who will read all these books will have daily implementable solutions, elevated consciousness and systems of enhanced life. The others who just hear this will post on social media, talk to their friends, get their feeling of importance of appearing knowledgeable - validation cycle. You read a book not that you go through it, you read it so the book can go through you. This in some ways what you say Mark, the biggest enemy to progress is the idea of it.
"so basically.. we're all getting fat and sassy"
*immediately subscribes*
That was my favorite comment too! 😆
Really powerful video
I’ve already shared this with 5 people who I care about the most. People struggling, people succeeding, people confused, people depressed, people ambitious.
Really excellent idea that was executed well.
Thank you.
I have just borrowed 25 of them from my favorite online library called libgen.
oh man
I read 10 books out of these 33 books. All are great books. Amazing curation that you have done. Thanks.
Love that he has read over a 1000 books, a sign of a well-developed mind. Always love his content and the real talk. No wonder, we've read all the same books! Each one of these books is an excellent pick, and you could go a bit deeper once you finish this list and read one additional book from each author!
I hope everyone reads different 1000 books, or else everyone will become a clone O_o
Thanks, Mark. For long-time I have known and was inspired, by the Recommended Books section on your web-page, but what I lacked is the summary of each of them that you have just provided in this video. Thank you once more!
The snickers bar bit was brillaint.
The video being a hunger for information, and the 'you aren't you when you're hungry'. Satisfying connection.
I feel the paradox of choice explained is not the only paradox experienced by this video. We should all be conscious of the "paradox of compromise” too.
You just shouldn’t expect to learn much from a video summarizing so many books in such a short amount of time.
As a highschooler the official first non fiction I'm going to read is how to win friends and influence people (it was already pre-planned and I have this book lying around from before I was born..my mom bought it but never read it)
I recommend it, too
This book is a must read for keeping a job. Work is more about being social than actually doing anything especially in the US (the land of BS).
@@Nowhere888 thankyou
Which place has less BS than America? I'm pretty sure other places have their own BS.@@Nowhere888

Thanks!
Why do you have to throw the books....😢
Because he doesn't give a f*ck.
Yes, best sentences start with subordinating conjunctions 🙈
If you take serious, then it’s nearly impossible get the sense of humor, don’t be serious 🎉 🤡 🐦
Probably just for dramatic effect...
Understanding what the book said is more important than the book itself the book itself is just paper and ink
He just wants attention and made a bad decision by throwing the books. It could have burned your hair. It would be more interesting.
This is SO good. No we shouldn’t just read the books unless the main topics resonate with you. If they don’t then you won’t ACT on them. Most books are filled with FLUFF and stories to drive home the main points. This video imo is a great jumping off point for any of these books that sparks your interests. I’ve read or listened to many of these books and you’d be surprised how well you can boil a book down to its essentials in a minute or less. Also 90% of people do NOT finish a book they’ve started. Bravo. Great video.
I've read many of these and all of them I've enjoyed. That said, Behave may well be the single best non-fiction book ever written. It's phenomenal!!!
This is probably one of the most useful TH-cam videos ever made. Thank you, Mark!
I just wasted the last year reading the 32 best books from another youtuber. What have I done, so glad i can now achieve enlightenment
Thank you for the quick review. It allowed me to decide what books I want to read first.
Dude recommended 33 books leaving us in a paradox of choice, but he also suggested the book which is about a paradox of choice, so I guess it's fine.
The fact that he read his own book and included it in this video is what fascinates me.
My heart was also smashed again and again😅 when he throws these great books again and again but great video
Love you Mark from NePal❤
the one about how every choice you make is a gamble is my favourite. very interesting and fun way to look at choices
You're my favorite channel on TH-cam. Thank you, Mark!
Great selection. All my most impactfull books here. And many more I will read.
Thank you!!!
Damn, condensing all this info into such a short punchy video. Awesome. Thank you.
Mark idk how ur timing is always so perfect.. ur a saviour dude❤️🤝
One thing I remember about How to Win Friends and Influence People - Dale Carnegie was to use people's name, this is more important today with all the texting with no names. He says a persons name resonants with them and you make a connection with them by using their name. Great video Mark. 🙂
This isn't the video we wanted, but it's the video we needed.
This video is pure gold, thank you Mark!
thank you. i dont have a good attentuon span so summaries are best for me. some of these things i realize
now
that im in my 40s. i am to rely on myself to feel stuck or get unstuck. many circumstances i cant change. but sulking doesnt help.
Super useful summaries and books guidance, but also brilliant sense of humour !
Bro, I'm sure you've heard this before but "Models" genuinely changed my life and was the catalyst that helped pull me from a severe depression. It also saved me from the fake "PUA" shit that was so popular in the early 2010s.
How to Win Friends and Influence People, was an absolute joy to read. It's really useful, but the 'dated' language usage felt like I was watching a movie.
My favorite quote from the book is also a joke. 'Mark Twain lost his temper occasionally and wrote letters that turned the paper brown. For example, he once wrote to a man who had aroused his ire: ‘The thing for you is a burial permit. You have only to speak and I will see that you get it.’
This is the kind of humor I miss in today's world. Pure genius.
Thank you for this ! It cannot be overstated ... the first book, Atomic Habits, was transformational for me !
Mark thank you so much for this. The subtle art is in my top 3. Thank you even more for that. ✌🏼♥️
Enough wisdom for a lifetime.
You have just earned a new subscriber.Great summary!
Thank you for taking the time to put this together 🎉 you are very talented
I thoroughly enjoyed this episode! It was fun and truly enlightening. Thank you!
Robert Kyioski is not saying he is broke when he states he is 1.2 billion in debt. That debt owns rental properties over 1500 doors that rents pay him. His net worth is stated online as 100 - 120 million net worth
Great vid Mark, but I hate the book throwing :Ddd precious books!
Agree. Abhorrent disrespectful behavior done solely for engagement, that negates the point of the entire video. Why does everybody need to insult our intelligence with gimmicks these days?
@@jareds5249 exactly. There is so much ideas Mark could do with the books for the engagement (sliding, motion effects etc) but throwing them, pretending not to care...it disregards the entire point of the video - I don't know, these books are the type of knowledge you want to have on you bookshelf without damaged edges (reckless)
Thank you for the summaries because then if something really resonates, I will read the whole book🙏🏾🙌🏾
Great overview Mark, helpfull way to learn about different kind of books that i probably would never find in my own echo chamber!
Love a good summary
Man’s search for meaning is one of my all time favorites! Read it many times
Really enjoyed this, Mark. Thanks so much! I just ordered a few new titles... And of course, thanks for all of your contributions to the literary world! :)
Just found you. This is great it's like having a friend you meet up with at a coffee shop and get the tea on books.
Hi Mark, thanks for the recommendations, added quite a few to my list of books to read. And I was wondering what your opinion is on Robert Greene's books. I am just getting into them, and from their reputation, they seem pretty fucking powerful (to the point that "the 48 laws of power" is banned from US prisons), and was expecting to see one here. So I was wondering is there a reason for this?
can't name a youtuber who has helped me with my life more than you, mark. ur the best. Hi btw I know ur reading the comments now. ur cool man. Im from romania man. Read more Mark Watch more Mark.
Hell yeah.
Watching him from Serbia :0
Thank you so much for the great book reviews!! I am really looking forward to read these specifically Innovators dilemma!
Why are people so obsessed with finding the quick fix to solving their problems?
I got stuck in the “self-improvement bubble” a few years back. It all revolves around the concept that there’s something inherently wrong with you.
There’s nothing wrong with you ❤ You just haven’t taken the time to truly get to know yourself😮
What makes you think, in the context of this video, that people are so obsessed with finding the quick fix to solving their problems?
Who love mark❤
Me❤
I admit it. ❤
Bro you missed one of the greatest books "the obstacle is the way"
I enjoyed that one, too!
Awesome video! Just started Dopamine Nation, really need it right now.
You’re quickly becoming my favorite podcaster/youtuber!
I selected this video while in my commute so I didn’t realize it was from the author of one of my favorite books. So the last part made me feel like when you had a conversation with someone for a while and at some point you realize: wow it’s actually you!!
Great video though! At least I’ve read 12 of them. Thanks for this guide.
Shouldn't we just read them
@@Sh0n0lower you need to have 3 summaries on at a time to keep you stimulated
Sure, if you like wasting time 🤷
Some books spend entire chapters using analogy after analogy to beat home a point that they achieved in a couple sentences the first time around. When im trying to pull the big points from something (esp like atomic habits, which i have read), summaries are great. Read it all if you want to dig in deeper.
He's trying to crush his competition 🤫
If you're so lazy you can't even end your question with a question mark, you'll never read these books
Thank you for mentioning that Robert Kiyosaki is broke lol 😂
I have been following you since you were a small channel, wondering why such a wonderful author doesn't have higher number of followers. You have come a long way in the quality of videos.
Love how this is more so "Here's what it's about" rather than "Here's what is trying to say in one sentence", inviting us to want to read it.
What about "the road less traveled"?
This book emphasises on the importance of discipline and self love. I think it's my personal best book(s) the ideas are very straight forward and disgestable
Yes!
Absolutely love that book. I need to go back and read it again.
Am I the only one that cringes every time he just carelessly tosses a book over his shoulder? 😢
I'm going to watch this video every day for the next week. There's lots of good stuff in here. There's too much to remember from just one watch through. I might even read one or 2 of the books!
does it mean that I just read 33 books in 24 minutes?
If a self help author is a musician, libertarian and just a good writer it's a yes for me. Good job Mark!
First give some respect to books 😢😢
I don’t think he gives a f*!k. Just saying
Second. Don't use foul language.
I will do 1 push up every like I got 😤
👇
sad
Sad life bruh
I've watched 13488 videos on you tube. Probably. This is my favourite so far. Your a Blessing 👏
I've read about half of these books. I couldn't agree more on Stumbling on Happiness. It is one of my favorite books.
Behavior by Sapolsky was in the bundle but not presented. It is clearly among the most important 10 books.
This video is a goldmine for reader's like me, and it was good fun too! Great work, people. 😊
Thank you for this video!! Just added like 15 books to my Audible wishlist 😎
This was great; thanks so much! Your last review is hilarious 😂
BTW: loved your interview on DCEO ⭐️
Hey Mark, i love your content and It is so helpful and informative ♥️.
Yes, always looking for the next book. very helpful.
That change of background for every other book💯
Thanks for the quick, helpful reviews!😊 and Congrats!👏🏽👏🏽
Zen Mind Beginners Mind is definitely one of the best on Zen Buddhism. But I highly recommend any of Brad Warner’s books on the topic. Hardcore Zen, Sit Down and Shut Up, The Other Side Of Nothing just to name a few.
Thank you for the book recommendations! I’m definitely writing the ones down that I want to read from this list! 🙌
one of your best qualities is your ability to not take yourself so seriously. It is something I strive to do. Life should be fun.
perfect timing , I want to purchase another book tomorrow . Thanks for this ^^
Stumbling on Happiness was good, but Happiness is a Serious Problem by Dennis Prager is the best analysis and practical guide to happiness that I've read.
Thank You Mark!! Your videos are life changing.
Good choices. I have read around half of them Thanks for the quick summaries Victor Frankl's Life search for meaning is intense and truly Life changing for me
OMG! Whoever did the editing is brilliant
Hahaha, the ending is fabulous. Great list, time to update my book wish list, thank you!
It's amazing how much wisdom we can gain from literature. While 'Roman Riches Revealed' wasn't included in the video, I recently stumbled upon it and it's been a game-changer for me. The blend of ancient money wisdom and its applicability to modern prosperity is truly remarkable. Highly recommend giving it a read for anyone looking to enhance their financial and history knowledge!
Mark manson truly adopting that gen z editing style
Unexpected but incredible closure ahahaha!!!! Did not see it coming. Good assortment of books though, thanks for sharing!
