      I feel that "Gone with the Wind" by Margaret Mitchell is a really good read. Even though its a romance novel there are a lot of things one can learn from it.

    Homo Sapiens: Brief History of Humankind by Yuval Noah Harari. I had just finished the book. It's so provocative and raises so many questions about human history. I highly recommend this book for anyone with interest in history, psychology and culture.

    • @alux
      @alux  6 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      Agreed, we loved it and we strongly recommend it to all our friends

    I read some of these books! Thank you, Alux, I will read more from your recommendation list.
    1) Sapiens: A Brief History of Humankind - great book, highly recommend!
    2) The Subtle Art of not Giving a F*ck - also cool!
    3) Factfulness - I am going to read.
    4) Business Adventures - thank you for the recommendation, it caught my eye.
    5) Peter Pan - yeah!
    6) Elon Musk
    And some books I have read this year
    1) Hit Refresh Satya Nadella
    2) Richard Branson The Virgin Way and Finding My Virginity.
    3) Accursed Kings by Maurice Druon - a bit complex. It tells how people of different social class lived in 14th century. Tells about mistakes France made, so it lead to disastrous defeats during the beginning of the Hundreds Years War.
    4) The Little Prince - one of my favorite.
    5) Henry Ford My life and my achievements.
    I am still behind of Bill Gates, I read only 30 books per year. I hope to catch up!

    Captain thanks for the book recommendations. School has always made reading and learning a chore but now that I graduated this year I love reading and learning.

  • @shafiqahmed3430
    @shafiqahmed3430 6 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    "Captain".... i am a teenager and i love alux ....the books i recently stumbled upon, which are worth reading are "Into the Magic Shop: A Neurosurgeon's Quest to Discover the Mysteries of the Brain and the Secrets of the Heart
    by James R. Doty " , "like a flowing river by Paulo Coelho" and "When Breath Becomes Air
    by Paul Kalanithi"

    @stewartflatness2777 6 ปีที่แล้ว +3

    Captain!
    Love the video and I can’t wait to put these on my to read list! A few books that I would suggest to read is Siddhartha by Herman Hess, It really talks about the journey and how other people might feel about your success or your failure along the way. It’s a short book but a slow read at parts. I also recommend Heart of Darkness by Joseph Conrad, Sailing Alone Around the World by Joshua Slocum, Travels with Charley by Steinbeck. Keep up the good work!!!

    • @alux
      @alux  6 ปีที่แล้ว

      Sailing alone around the world sounds interesting, we'll add it to our own list Stewart! Thanks for the recommendation!

    @jaxxguevarra 6 ปีที่แล้ว +2

    Captain !! I can’t wait to pick up some of these recommendations :) and even re-read ones I haven’t read in YEARS!
    Alchemist remains one of my favorites! A couple “non business” books I would recommend for your next list:
    - Jonathan Livingston Seagull by Richard Bach
    - Conversations with God - Neal Donald Walsh (surprisingly not a religious book) but eye opening
    - Tuesdays with Morrie by Mitch Albom

  • @vasilypieters1821
    @vasilypieters1821 6 ปีที่แล้ว +3

    Captain!!! Sapiens is a real go to book in my opinion. My recommendations are:
    -Brave New World
    -Sophies world
    Forgot the writers but the books are great, and not that hard to read.
    Good luck aluxers!

  • @DCB938
    @DCB938 3 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    I own and have read several of these books. Have loved them all. Time to add more to my collection of good books.
    I’m looking forward to another list.
    One author I really enjoy reading is Michio Kaku. Now his books may not be to everyone’s liking, but they are very educational. His writing is in layman’s terms so you can understand science. I found if I read only a few pages at a time it won’t be overwhelming. “The God Equation” is good one to start with. It’s about science not religion. Newton, Einstein etc are all explained

  • @tomix99
    @tomix99 6 ปีที่แล้ว +3

    Captain! ⚓️⛵️👑
    Some of my favorite books are:
    - And Then There Were None by Agatha Christie ( her best book( make a vid about her); 😉
    - An Ember in the Ashes by Sabaa Tahir (a sf love novel, i think it competes with GoT to the number of dying characters)
    - Flowers for Algernon by Daniel Keyes ( is about an interesting experiment and it is going very deep in the human nature)( soul > mind);
    I think that 3 are enaugh. I really recomand them and I wish you to read and enjoy them. If do you like them please put them in the next vid. In that way all aluxers can know about them. See ya! 😁✌🏼❤️

    I think it would be incredible to do a second part to this video. I would recommend "The Art of Learning" by Josh Waitzkin. He was an international chess champion in his youth and a T'ai Chi Push Hands World Champion at a very young age and he tells his journey of growing and learning to be the best, and tells you how you can learn something to the absolute highest level that you can.

    Amazing video Alux as per usual - I adored reading the Alchemist and have recommended it to practically everyone. This list is absolutely fabulous because anybody can find one book from the list that can change their lives! I certainly look forward to reading Outliers and recommend my fellow aluxers to read Robert Greene - The art of seduction 😄

    @litjunkie3808 6 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    As an avid reader, I found this video immensely fascinating. Many of the titles sound interesting and I am definitely going to read as many books as I can. What was most surprising to me about this video was that I have been eyeing the first book since months but couldn't buy it for some reason. Now that Alux has recommended it, it's going to be on my table. One more thing- "Captain".

    • @alux

    "Shoe Dog" is also an amazing book by the founder of Nike Inc.
    I am currently reading "Sapiens" currently and will read "Enlightenment Now" next. Also, I found this list extremely helpful even though I had many of them in my reading list already, I found new motivation to read them.

  • @WPGS25041941
    @WPGS25041941 3 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    This year, 2021 is the seven hundred anniversary of the death of Dante Alighieri [1265 - 1321], statesman, poet, linguist and philosopher who was in love with Beatrice Portinari [1265 - 1290] who accompanied him in his poem, The Divine Comedy, but he was arranged married to someone else. Dante certainly had a good vocabulary. The Divine Comedy commentaries hardly ever emphasise heaven, Il Paradiso. This third part of the Divine Comedy will be my Christmas reading. The Divine Comedy is the story of the love of Dante and Beatrice.

    Captain! These books seems very interesting. I've read most of Dan Brown's and will make it include in my plan to read Origin soon. I also love The Alchemist. I also like 11 minutes by Paolo Coelho and Tuesday's with Morrie. There's a book that's well recommended by a friend that I haven't finished yet, Notes from the Underground by Fyodor Dostoevsky which might also interest you and include in your next reading list.

    The second book after Enders Game & NOT just for kids. It will make even more sense if you’ve read Enders Game, the movie was OK but it really glossed over some of the more subtle points.

    As a child, I read the novel "101 Dalmatians" before I saw the movie, as usual, movies do not give the novel justice. As an adult I like "The Man Who Knew Too Much" and "The Great Barrier Reef: History, Science, and Culture". The first segment of the book reads something like that of the movies "Pirates of the Caribbean".

      Its hard to say but I think for your channel, probably "The Way of The Peaceful Warrior" both books are possibly life changing.

    CAPTAIN... : )
    I don't actually read much books...but I've always wanted to read one for the upcoming holidays...so if you could suggest a book from your list... which would you suggest for a beginner level reader like me?

  • @kdiva2u559
    @kdiva2u559 6 ปีที่แล้ว

    Love this list by the way! Two of the books I’ve already read. Now to add the others to my list! Speaking of George Orwell, another book I read around the same time I read Animal Farm, was The Jungle by Upton Sinclair. It’s a classic read but I think still a good book to read.

    I recommend The Phantom Tollbooth by Norton Juster. It's an older book and a children's book, but it has a lot of good life lessons about how one views the world. It's one of my absolute favorites. Although, there's no audiobook version that I'm aware of. It's better to read the book, in my opinion, due to the magnificent illustrations.

  • @awaix11
    @awaix11 6 ปีที่แล้ว

    Hey Alux, first of all thank you for all the videos. I learn a lot from your uploads.

    2. Creativity the perfect crime.
    Third thing...CAPTAIN!

    Mahabharath, i know this is one of the two main scriptures in sanskrit, written thousands of years ago. But this is still relevant for today's generation.Mahabharata covers every aspect of human life. It covers realities of life. It covers the human frailties, shows character flaws, highlights follies of the great and good of society. Mahabharata looks at the world as it really is. It exposes the unalloyed realities of life. Mahabharata is not fuzzy, soft or built on sandcastles of idealism. Ideas of “universal love”, “unconditional forgiveness”, “fraternity of humanity” etc are great principles, grand ideals, but more often than not, we find that they do not exist in real life. Mahabharata explores people’s search for this idealism and how they fare. It is in simple terms a mirror. Every time you read it you see a different detail that you failed to notice before. Dealing with treating women properly to transgenders and polygamy. This book serms more relevant than ever before !

    On the Peter Pan Point, you guys should reference Dr. Jordan Peterson. Those are his exact words from his lectures on Maps of Meaning. Recommending Peter Pan its self is still a brilliant idea though.

  • @edgarcarrillovazquez8576

    Ram chandra series by amish is a good read,it explains the effectiveness of different types of societies and their drawbacks,as well as it puts the reader in deep contemplation,but it may be a difficult read for non-indians.
