This encourages me soooo much. Thanks Ali for putting the bloopers in. Seeing how great your videos are, it's easy to forget that mistakes are a natural part of the process. You don't have to do the whole video in one clean take. Ok, I'll start and stay with making videos and growing my channel. Your content is great. Your humanity and good will are even better. Cheers my friend!
This is so random; but basically I found out that my best friend has a cousin that’s friends with Ali. Apparently my best friend saw him at a party he went to. Now he says I can’t be mean to him as he’s breathed the same air as Ali 😂 great video!!
You can turn the most boring book out there into the best audio seller out there because of the way you summarise and interpret the story in such a relatable and engaging way 😬✌🏼📚
We don’t deserve Ali. He makes helpful, interesting and insightful videos and despite having a huge following, he’s still humble. He’s such an inspiration to me, so thank you Ali!! :) ps: loving the book club series so so much!
Happiness and success are highly personal terms, and yet, so many people allow others to influence these concepts (I'll be happy after I'm successful enough to buy x).When really at the end of the day we should be taking the time spent trying to please others and putting it towards figuring out who we are and what we believe
There was a video of Ali where he mentioned the “if this isn’t awesome, I don’t know what it” and acknowledging the good moments honestly made me a happier person.

"Just writing down a list of things that you're grateful for each day has more of an effect on your personal happiness than doubling your salary at work" That's one of the best happiness pieces of advice. I've already gotten started on doing that before I saw this video but now it makes me even more encouraged to do it every day!
Thank you so much, Ali. You are helping me get through a really tough time in my life now. I'm going to lift up & grew up from this unpleasent experience. Best of wishes for you & congrats on hitting 1 million subs from Paraguay.
I've been recording 3 gratitudes a day since April 1, 2015. I'm not healthier or more successful, but I don't have that chronic, about to fly apart stress anymore. When I started, it took me a couple HOURS to think of 3 things. Now I jot stuff down in my planner as it happens, or at least it doesn't take me as long. Great book, and this TED Talk is entertaining
As salaamualei kum..I am from India and a master student ...the way you tell how to improvised in study is of great help to me thank you...and you are nice person
man,, mindset is huge.. since I had a step back to recalculate what I do in life and what it is that I want to do, I have had many positive changes.. I gotta say Ali Abdaal, you were a big part in my perspective change, and I am grateful.. Thanks a lot 🙏 PS_ I love the segment in the end where you showed your takes hahaha it gave me some comfort knowing that even Ali Abdaal has these recording struggles hahaha thank you again!
you know most of that is just hard work? Sure you need decent genes to succeed, but then it's just reading tons of books all the time, and making those small decisions all the time like, I will have a decent sleep/eating pattern, exercise a bit, learn new things all the time and work on my career so it's not some horrible dead-end street. Most people who complain they can't keep up with Ali, I guess they just do none of the above but spend their whole life on Netflix, FB and such. Sometimes you just need to make yourself do stuff if you don't wanna be a couch potato whole life. And then things don't seem that horribly out of our reach/understanding anymore. But it's years of good habits
@@LK-ep6pk sure, some of it like watching things x3 the speed is nuts, being obsessed about just anything is nuts. But we can still take sth out of it, like books worth reading, or how to organize our time a bit better, etc.
L K well i guess it depends what you want to get out of your life. Some people want to be successful and productive, others want to do as many sports as possible while others prefer the party and Netflix life. And the only thing that matters is that you have chosen the reicht path for yourself. I‘ve spent 7 years travelling the world for example. I currently live in Australia even though I am from Germany. As a German I love to be productive. Many thoughts and things he shares I‘ve actually experienced and learned along the way. No, you don‘t need to read 1000000 books in your life, you actually need to get a life and live a life. So no, I don‘t think there is anything wrong with him wanting to be as productive as possible. He just sees the value and opportunities that come with an existence on earth.
that is literally what happens to me when i film videos... but they still dont come out as natural great to see someone like you still make a mistake from time to time
The whole video is great, inspiring, helpfull and more. However, in the last part where you included the failed footage is very very inspiring. It shows all of us on how much work that you have put into this video. This really helps my lack of confident. Even you go through same problem. Thank you, sir.
Dude I have always seen you in my recommendations but have always ignored you, but now I have subscribed as I realise I truly need your guidance in my life, I am a first year med student in South Africa and depression is honestly real
Honestly you are so great Ali. Please never stop making videos like this. You have literally changed my entire outlook! Like and I'm young so it means something!
Just finished the book. Amazing stuff. One thing that was omitted was the 20 second rule and its correlation with growing habits. He says basically that to grow habits we have to do them consistently. But that's difficult as many times we start something then stop. His solution: The 20 second principle. In short, the habit that you're trying to form should take no more than 20 seconds to get started. So if it's reading more books, then put the book right on front of you not hidden away somewhere where it'll take more time to get it out. On the reverse, things that stop you from taking on good habits (e.g tv) then make it such that it takes more than 20 seconds to access it e.g by removing batteries
This makes so much sense! For me spending the day with friends and forgetting about school is key for motivation to study. Thanks for your inspiring videos Ali! 💗💗
*Fail forward.* Do not let your shortfalls hold you back! We all fail, and it's oftentimes our best learning opportunity. My proudest accomplishments have started from the abyss of feeling like everything has been lost. It's all about perspective!
Ali uploads a new video: Me:clicks immediately :") love u.keep growing man! I like your videos bcz they make me think and pave way towards new perspectives
Ali i have been watching your videos for some time now, i really enjoy all of them from productivity, book club, tech and medical student days. I myself work in health care as an intensive care paramedic in NZ i have been searching youtube for some insight into specifically productivity and pretty much pulling apart my brain learning new things so thank you keep on bringing out videos! Are there any other TH-cam channels you would recommend.
After watching this video I personally read the book. And now I have come back here to thank you for doing this video which ultimately made me read the book. :)
Please add more extras like this, cause your viewers can then also breathe a sigh of relief! But only in your extras, please! : -) With a warm thank you from Munich, Germany!
i loved how you added the bloopers into the end of this video, it makes you and your channel seem more real, compared to what we are shown. I guess I never thought much about this before, but good job again Ali. Nothing but the best from me
Nice video, but it looks like my favourite quote is different from the original in the book: “Happiness is not the belief that we DON'T need to change; it's the realization that we can.” I actually prefer yours!
I've just finished rereading the series, Dumbledore does not once say this, I assume Ali must be joking otherwise hes lost all cred to use HP references in his videos
Loving this series. I’m thinking about starting a journal club on TH-cam where I cover primary literature in my field. With this series I feel like we all split up the work and are presenting our part and I love it.
we should do a live book club stream! tell us which book to look at ahead of time and we can follow along with you, love this! and happiness is great...always smiling :)
I don't know how to thank you. But just went through your skillshare course. And it is just awesome. I mean awesome. I just mean awesome. Thanks a lot for the contents.
the more i watch you more i like to be you. Your content helps me a lot in studies and also for living life. i specially get inspired from day in a life vlog. great work! love and support from India
Ali, I would like to know if you are going to recommend us more books like this. I really enjoy watching your videos because I learn something new and helps me to practice the English listening. Greetings from Buenos Aires, Argentina.
Love the outtakes and how you instinctively snap your fingers after every bad line - pro filmmaking in action, making it easier for your editor to sync up a new take. 🙌
Brilliant as always Ali - you have such a natural way of being able to pass on important life messages to the world - a truly special gift which you are maximising through the use of modern technology and you have to potential to just keep growing and growing!! 10/10

Basically sums up the TH-cam game :D
I was gonna comment the same thing
Totally enjoyed this part... Especially the bloopers. Makes us realize Ali has some struggles too💯
This is so random; but basically I found out that my best friend has a cousin that’s friends with Ali. Apparently my best friend saw him at a party he went to. Now he says I can’t be mean to him as he’s breathed the same air as Ali 😂 great video!!
Why am i so jealous?

true!
Lol why are you everywhere
If your deserving expectation is so low, please don't use the word 'we'.
Go for 'I'
@@ayushagarwal3307 an attitude of gratitude isn't the same as having low expectations.
Happiness and success are highly personal terms, and yet, so many people allow others to influence these concepts (I'll be happy after I'm successful enough to buy x).When really at the end of the day we should be taking the time spent trying to please others and putting it towards figuring out who we are and what we believe
Amen to that 👏
Sam Martin - Peak Performance :)
There was a video of Ali where he mentioned the “if this isn’t awesome, I don’t know what it” and acknowledging the good moments honestly made me a happier person.
And I urge you to please notice when you are happy, and exclaim or murmur or think at some point, 'If this isn't nice, I don't know what is.

Love this series Ali - I’ve finally dropped my first video on why it’s important to get started in the present! Check it out if you want! 👊🏾
Hello
The latest "NOT" was legit'loved it
Ali, how do you find these cool books? I love these "strategy'' videos.
Ali seriously you are not doing the house tour
The author's ted talk on this is amazing - one of the best ever!
6:31 - fascinating to hear that our friendship circle can make all the difference between actualising our best selves or normalising!
How many friends does it take to make a circle

"Just writing down a list of things that you're grateful for each day has more of an effect on your personal happiness than doubling your salary at work"
That's one of the best happiness pieces of advice. I've already gotten started on doing that before I saw this video but now it makes me even more encouraged to do it every day!
the outtakes were brilliant to share. I have wondered how Ali manages to speak in his videos so smoothly...apparenlty he's just like us !
I love you Ali. I subscribed to this guy just because of his voice. Now, he has become my main man. Whenever I watch him, I feel like working.
I’ve just read this - happiness is what you need to succeed. You just have to find what makes you happy first and let it all flow from there. 💪🏻
When we train ourselves to happier options, we attract success and productivity❤
Practicing gratitude has made me a happier person. I have also purchased gratitude journals for my kids to help them practice gratitude.
I love his book club videos the most...
I am happy to see that u didn't prove to b a "waste man" rather made this beautiful video with the time off .
That last part is gold. I'll start doing that finger snap while recording to make editing easier. Thanks Ali!
The scientific researches,the dumbeldore sayings and the historical exemples makeee this video absolutely uniqueee
I was feeling so low and I watched this video.Thankyou for putting this up.
The gratitude journaling is so good. Still working on fully habit-izing it, but I've found it very enjoyable in these past few weird months.
Watching this video makes me feel like someone has written a book summarizing my experiences and beliefs over the last 5 years. Thanks for the video!
Thank you so much, Ali. You are helping me get through a really tough time in my life now. I'm going to lift up & grew up from this unpleasent experience. Best of wishes for you & congrats on hitting 1 million subs from Paraguay.
This book club series is so inspiring Ali! Loved how you kept the outtakes in the end too - You put a lot of effort in these videos and it shows!😊

My brain doesn't have the cells to understand Ali's high intelligence.

the last part is the best part!!! thank you for showing that you are a human being))))))

You are a blessing for this world. Period.
Thanks for adding the clips in end,It tells us how perfection is achieved. lots of love!!

I love that this was exactly the re affirmation I needed. The advice you need will always appear when you need it the most, thanks😊
You can be as rich and powerful as you want, but if you're not happy, you won't reach success. That's how powerful being happy is!
And I'm happy because you're a huge inspiration!
Happiness is not a steady state though, you can’t be happy all the time
@@xmeerzx You're very much right. However I think your baseline emotion, the "neutral state" can be positive or negative.
Why only a 8-minute video, I need more. Thank you so much for this great video.
Best TH-camr ever. No question.
I love this part of your channel♥️
Ali's smile at the end is exactly what I felt after listening to this whole video!
Thanks for the book recs Ali x
I needed this
This makes so much sense! For me spending the day with friends and forgetting about school is key for motivation to study. Thanks for your inspiring videos Ali! 💗💗
He deserves to get to 1 million asap.
Ali : "Happiness is not the belief that we need to change, but it's the realization that we can".
I do love this statement 👍

The sticky note in the thumbnail says 'Book club #5' when actually it will be #6. This is the sixth book summary. Amazing video nonetheless 📚
The last segment of this video made me happy ❤️😂😁
Nice video, but it looks like my favourite quote is different from the original in the book: “Happiness is not the belief that we DON'T need to change; it's the realization that we can.” I actually prefer yours!
I've created a page in my Notion app and I take notes on almost every single video and snippets Ali makes.
I love your books reviews. There one of the most thorough and in depth. Please do more book club reviews:)
"Give me a lever long enough and a fulcrum on which to place it, and I shall move the world." - thank you *Albus Dumbledore* :D
I'm assuming he meant it to be a joke.
google says the quote is from Archimedes not dumbledore
What does this even mean? Can somebody explain?
I've just finished rereading the series, Dumbledore does not once say this, I assume Ali must be joking otherwise hes lost all cred to use HP references in his videos
@@KBorePC Yep. Exactly my thoughts. It didn't seem like he was joking. At least to me. I really wonder what really happened here.
Take care of your health.

"List Three Things You're Grateful For" has to be the #1 most used excercises in self help books and guides.

I know which book I'll be reading next now! Thanks Ali!
Ah, can't wait to read this book. Thank you for summarizing.
Loved the overview 😍, the end... hilarious 😂
Thanks for sharing

Love the bloopers at the end of the video!
Keep up the book club series, Ali. It's amazing!!

Thanks for putting efforts in making these videos.
Thank you so much for this video!! I'm in the middle of my exams and really needed this. 😊
