**************************
Around March of 2015, a little more than four years ago, I made the commitment that I would read a book a week, for the rest of that year. It was the best decision that I made in my entire life.
Let me explain.
I was in my second year of college here in Argentina studying Business and I hated almost every single class. The books we were reading were not up to date, the professors didn't make classes interesting at all and I wasn't really learning.
I remember feeling I was wasting my life going there, memorizing and learning stuff that didn't have any practical applications in the real world nor in my personal development.
I couldn't wait 3 more years until I graduated to change my situation. That's when I decided to take responsibility for my own learning and started reading a book a week.

*Not reading the book right
The deeper your understanding of the book the greater the interest to read and greater the retention.
“I cannot remember the books I've read any more than the meals I have eaten; even so, they have made me.” Ralph Waldo Emerson
A student goes to a learned man and tells him: I can not remember anything i read
The learned man gives him a bucket that has holes on the bottom and tells him to go and fill this up in the river.
The student fills up the bucket but the water will fall out the holes on the way to the learned man.
The student repeats this several times and at the end he gives up saying: This bucket can never be filled. It has holes on the bottom.
And so the wise man says: Even though the bucket does not hold the water, it still got cleaned up by the water that went through it. Its the same with reading. Even if you cant remember what you read, it still purifies you inside. 😊

I forced reading to be a habit back in 2021 for my New Years resolution and looking back it’s how reading drastically impacted my behavior and mental. I’ve got a couple of friends telling me I’ve changed, I’m less likely to get annoyed by the smallest things, and my perspective of the world just broadened. Everyone should read if you want to change your life.

My mother read at least a book a week on a wide variety of subjects for 50+ years until her death at age 63.
She had less than one year of Community College but was able to obtain a top management position within the San Francisco Civil Service System.
Promotions/Positions within the San Francisco system were awarded based on the test results for each position. Due to my mothers extensive knowledge on a wide variety subjects she passed #1 on every test she ever took , getting a perfect score on almost every test. Reading gave my mother great pleasure and confidence. She passed away 35 years ago, and I still miss her greatly.
But reading made me bad at formal education.
This is such a nice story.
Sounds like a positive role model you were lucky to have. Nothing is impossible regardless of environmental parameters. 🍻 cheers
Thank you for sharing, I keep wanting to learn more about anything and everything. I often feel frustrated when I want to have discussions with friends about something new each of us might have learned. They look at me like I’m nuts.

@Florin Dragos Minculescu have you by chance read the immortality key?
I used to read about a book a week, for a couple years or so. Until one day, while showing off my library, a friend stopped at a random book and said "what's this one about?" and I could only vaguely answer, probably as much as he could just by looking at the cover. That's when I realized that I was reading just to get my "book count" up, only remembering the material for a short period. These days, I read a book per month or two, but I study the book like I'm trying to pass an exam on it, prepared to write a book report by memory if I need to. My books are re-read, highlighted, translated into my own thoughts, and all actionable advice gets extracted and memorized. I'm a lot happier this way, and I'm saving money on books!
I think you are right but it depends on the person and on the subject of the book.
It's about the quality of the reading as opposed to the quantity ...so rereading lots of books myself due to this new understanding !!!! X
It’s the same with me... While I read, I understand it and it makes sense to me, like it’s the simplest and most logical thing in the world, but then if someone asks me even hours later what I read I cannot for the life of me remember with details. I just have this vague idea. And I absolutely hate it. I have read many books in my life but I only remember what impression they left on me and not details from them. ;((( Your approach sounds wonderful, I need to try reading this way!!
@@PufShinoda one of my simplest methods is to read in 25/5 Pomodoros, but spending those 5 minutes recalling and writing everything I can remember from the session. This alone is really helpful because it forces you to actually bother remembering everything, instead of just passively absorbing the material. While reading, make highlights of anything you find important. When you finish the book, go back through and translate and simplify each highlight into your own words on a seperate document, and then reread those notes in spaced repetitions (1, 2, 4, 8, 16 days), even after you've moved on to a different book.
Yup. Reading is not actually learning. A lot of people are actually fed the illusion that if some read a book once and understood it, he will remember it forever. You'll somehow believe this is true because the memory is still fresh. Wait about a month and try to reflect on the "learnings" your thoughts were so proud of and you'll be surprised. If you truly wanna learn, you have to do much more than reading. you have to reflect, apply it to your reality, and do more re reading to let it sink to your long term memory. Learning is also an art. It is a process.
*For the people that have a tough time reading*
I read pretty slow, and have a tough time focusing. But I started reading finance books in highschool, and by the time I got to college, I knew more than graduating finance majors. Tips that KEPT me reading...
1. Never read to be seen as a reader. Others opinions don’t matter. People often say they read now because it’s trendy. You’re not reading for them, you’re reading for yourself. Doesn’t matter how fast or what type of books, don’t worry about others.
2. You don’t have to finish a book. One thing that always made me want to give up reading was getting 1/3 into a book and hate the idea of struggling through it. FUCK THAT. If you don’t like the book after a chapter, quit reading it. There are more books to read than time we have..throw it to the side and read something that makes you interested. There are no rules with reading.
3. Takes notes. This is huge! If you own the book, every time you read something interesting or that you disagree with, underline it, circle it, write your thoughts on that page. This makes it more of a dialogue between your thoughts and the books ideas. It also drastically increase comprehension!
4. Who cares how fast you read. Like I said, I’m a shit reader..but if you keep going you lose track of time and what page you’re on, and then you can really enjoy the reading process.
yoo taking notes, thats the move, i think I have filled multiple notebooks with more notes than I've read books if that makes sense. but ya my friends always ask me how do you know all this information?
Good advice. Thank you!
thank you, super encouraging !
About the second tip, I think many books are slow and boring at the beginning and get progressively more interesting. If you stop reading a book after one chapter you can really miss out on something great! I'd say stop reading a book when you get to half of it and you hate it with all the bones in your body.
It's also good to read books you don't really like so you can analyze why you don't like it and think about what makes a book good
Always have a highlighter with me
It’s hard to control self-educated persons.
Especially if one of those books is the Bible, and especially the Book of Daniel.
@@user-if1de8pt2j no necessary though.... But why will you learn maths of university level, if you got your field which is unexplored by you... And does this dude has free time to read many subjects,in my country people go in depths to their field of interest which can give them profit...
@youtube watcher It is not useless but it is intentionally brainwashing. The Bible is a framework on how to deal with relationships, hardships, death, etc and teaches service and love. It's easier for your mind to bare that you will go to heaven in the afterlife.
@@andya2665 you do know how the KJV was created right?
@youtube watcher You are aware that it created the foundations of the best nations, right?
When someone says "I don't read books" like it's a badge of honour or something, it makes me sad. They're missing out on so much.
'I don't make music', 'I don't play games', 'I don't travel, sport, party or BOOKS etc etc. Everyone is missing out on soo much. But you can't have all... Just make sure you have an hobby you like and one you enjoy without the feeling you must do it for someone else.
I just can't get myself to pick up a book:)

I saw this video exactly 1 year ago and I was 14 last year. Before that I never read a book (also I wasn't able to understand English at that time). After I saw this and few more people encouraged me to read, I started reading books . The first book I read was about Richard Feynman, titled"Surely you're joking Mr. Feynman! ".I barely completed one chapter in a week or so. After a month I had finished that book and I had a very unusual feeling , like I never wanted this book to end! After a month , I bought three more books and completed three of them in one month. From then , I became a bibliophile. I read a book at night every single day. Gradually I had seen some self improvement in me.
1) I started to think
2) My imagination power increased
3) My English skills has improved
4) My social skills increased and anxiety slowly faded away
5) I got rid of social media and video games
6) I made new friends every week(with my books)...
7) I forgot what boredom feels like
Edit: currently I'm reading Shakespeare's Sonnet 116 ⊙﹏⊙....

When our boys were little, at elementary school, they had a Reading Book Competition. Each one of our boys read a book a day sometimes more. Both counted in at over 300 books during the school year. Today, they still read for the love of it. Both are very intelligent and thoughtful. I believe it did broaden their horizons especially as they got older.

Here we go with the "I'm superior cause I read" bullshit, go fuck yourself
My mom and dad started my habit of reading by taking me to the library every week from before I was in kindergarten. First I was picking out books mom and dad read to me. Then I was starting to read books together with mom and dad. Then I began to read on my own, and it took off. I was insatiable. I had a vocabulary years ahead of my classmates. I was an ace at spelling and grammar. I learned things we weren't taught in school. But I also learned not to talk about it with anyone but my mother and grandparents. Dad didn't like too much reading. Kids at school didn't like reading at all. And even today, my reading is a solitary pleasure. Never bored during the coronavirus lockdown.

You can’t read book without reflecting , the more u read the more you reflect
Exactly!
So true. Self-reflection is needed now more than ever too with people passing blame instead of looking inward.
(regarding your comment about reflecting when reading). That is the problem with TV. Images and ideas come at us so FAST, you can't stop and REFLECT on them. It's called "BRAINWASHING."
Thank you for uploading this video! I will start today.
Three years ago I started a reading binge. The first book I read was a history of the rock band Nirvana. Since then, I've expanded into philosophy, mindfulness, history, politics and lots of fiction. Reading also has opened my mind to a level learning I never imagined.
This is uncanny! This is exactly what I did when I was in college...and for the same reasons, too. I gradually drifted from reading English literature to developing a deeper appreciation for history, science, and philosophy. And, like you, I experienced a quantum level of growth in my understanding about myself and my life. Eventually, I became a writer, and that is what I still do for a living. Listening to you was like listening to a younger version of myself.
This is amazing! Thanks for sharing your story!

Willingness to learn is what's actually needed for studies.
Not just study same can be applied on other field too

So true
so true. more often than not you see students complaining about how information that they're learning isn't practically, and that they'd want to learn if the material was more so; however most of the time it's simply the student's unwillingness to learn anything beyond what they already know. it's quite disheartening to see, especially since i used to be a bit like that, so it's a bit personal

Fantastic video!! Thank you for sharing your experience!
This is exactly what I was needing to hear. I have felt complacent and feel that my mind is becoming numb with the lack of engagement. I think I may be up for this challenge and see where it will lead me. Thanks for the upload.
"Read what you love until you love to read" ~ Naval Ravikant
That's really important. Don't force yourself to read anything: only read what you're interested in and, you'll find, over time, that one subject leads to another, and the things you wouldn't have read before become more interesting and you find yourself reading those too

Not only books enables to expand your horizons. Example: after watching just a (apparently) random youtube video under which I write a comment now, I decided to read book a week as You said. Greetings.
Ikr! People might think that youtube is pointless but there are so many inspiring people to learn from!
Thanks for your inspiring comment!
Same here I haven't read many books since I came to NorthAmerica.
When i was a kid thanks to my parents I read most of Gabriel García Marquez,JJ benitez "the Trojan Horse series" and some other writers books in the late 80's and 90's that was back in South America.
I’ve decided to too! Just thought about it today after buying 5 books, and somehow was recommended this video - destiny!
TH-cam is guaranteed to WAKE this GENERATION UP. Finally, the masses are educated, and they live freer and more abundantly than ever before in human history. And for just 14 years, WE have been connected to this SHARED, Worldwide Experience, with near-instant communication.
Ben Franklin, himself, came up with this idea for the 250th Year of The Experiment in Self-Government (1776-2026), because WE (you too) have been tasked with the progressive perfection of Mankind -- God's composite of unique individuals with ascension promise.
But we will likely have to wait until 09/23/26, the autumn equinox of the US' and the Illuminati's 250th year -- unless the Epochal Eclipse April 8th 2024, does the trick. Either way -- exercise faith to get in shape for the Awakening.
Thank you Inerizer for the positive inspiration!!

Now im really beginning to realise that books really are our BEST FRIENDS.

I tend to re read certain books when I know I need them in my life. Certain characters can strengthen you. That’s for sure.
Books are a great investment 🥰🥰

Underrated comment
Reading has changed me as a person. I'm more observant, more tolerant of other people's perspectives and ideas, I'm more fascinated by the world, I'm a better communicator, and I feel like I know more about a wide variety of subjects including about different parts of the world and their culture than before. Most importantly, I'm way more curious about anything and everything.
Why do you think books spark your curiosity that much?
@@OutsideOurCave I think because of my reading, I know there are entire worlds out there (or not there but are pure fantasies) that I wouldn't have ever imagined had I not read about them. For example, I couldn't not have imagined about a desert planet called Arrakin that produces the most coveted spice called Melange or that in one of Roald Dahl's story, a scientist attempts to measure the weight of the soul (isn't that absurd? But so fascinating). I now have an instiable thirst for knowledge for the sake of it (not to become a better person or to gain wisdom but just knowing about things because I can) and I'm beyond grateful for that. My inner world is all the more richer for that.
@@noopcoup4940 Thank you for that answer. :)
I have also the same purpose to kn and understand much ✌💪
@@acv5154 I'm like you. I'm an introvert too. I think reading has helped me in the sense that the few times I do speak up, I'm able to articulate better than I used to not just because of a better vocabulary but because my thinking is more structured.
This showed up in my feed... brilliant 👏🏻💐🙌🏻💜
Starting today thank you for the tips!
I’ve been reading a book a week for 63-years. I don’t know how to live without reading. This year, I discovered Audible. So, whatever happens I can still enjoy books.
Wish I could be like you.i haven't read a book in last 6 months.i don't have the patience that's the first problem.and can't deal with who i am.i wish if I can skip my 20s and go to my 60s I will definitely do that.cant figure what I'm doing my life right now.
God bles you Sir
Good job
Do you feel any different from other people since you reading all this Time ?
Any useful abilty you aquired from Reading ?
Thanks for your answer
@Pikku-Karhu Ruttunen currently I'm 24. All I ever have my parents who supports me everything.i mean I dropped out of college and I did take courses which I like and they supported me for that.but after taking things i like ,I am like someone who lost interest in everything after a particular time.j don't know what I am doing in right now.wish I could read something that can show me how life really is.
@@asifjabbar1226 i am in the same situation as your except I'm 30, I feel so lost.ughhh
I can tell from my experience that reading for the sake of quantity does not help at all. Rereading a book after a while helped me understand and reflect way better and more profound upon the content. Also take notes and develop new question when you read. Slow but consistent reading beats any reading marathon.
Tru dat!
agreeeeeedddd
I'm totally agree with you, the point it's not the time you employed to read a book or how many books you've read
It is useful though if the topic is familiar and looking for little tweaks
Taking notes is making learning stressful and there's little need for that. Agree about re-reading.
You got the dedication I wish I had...well done.
Hi Inerize - Wonderful journey you had....
If I had a dollar for every time someone said, “How do you know that?” I’d be rich. He’s right. Read. Spend time reading and it’ll open up your mind to the possibilities which lay just beyond the reach of those who don’t. And then you’ll find yourself in a league of others...and your life will then begin to change. Best advice on the internet.
I doubt it
You did not read.
You consumed any other trash.
Hence all your clichees.
That also happens to me. I read at least 5 books a month, but not only books, anything in sight!! The guys above are just jealous.
@@jpgrumbach8562 Learn how to spell first before critisizing somebody who can.
This is my motivation🤩🤩
I read seven books in 12 weeks while working on my very demanding master's degree and a full-time job. Overall I am at my 15th book this year, and my goal was one per month. The point is, it becomes effortless. It drastically improved my ability to concentrate. While at first, I was reading some paragraphs or sentences twice, now I am fully in it for chapters. I was always a reader, but I am twice an immigrant, so starting in a non-native language was challenging every time. Now it doesn’t matter; I read in the three languages that I speak, and I am only worried that my to-read list is longer than I will have time in my lifetime. Not sure why this video showed up in my feed, but I hope it motivates others to read.
Dana K. - Can you tell me how you learned the other languages? I'm SO frustrated with trying and failing. French, Italian and some Arabic are my choices.
Moi S First, I had the advantage of living in the countries that spoke the languages, so I got to communicate and practice. But the practice with people comes a bit later.
Starting with the basics is the challenging part, and it can be frustrating. You have to learn the basic communication sentences, at the same time, watch movies in that language with subtitles of the language (even though you won’t understand most of it listen to catchphrases you studied). Listen to songs and then print lyrics and translate them. The advantage of songs is that when you keep listening to them, you remember the words. And then, when you develop some comfort around distinguishing the sounds of the language, you start reading, kids' books, gradually increasing to more complex texts.
There is no “easy” way. But your brain is like a muscle; at first, it is painful and challenging, but then it expands, and slowly it becomes familiar, and your mind stops resisting.. persistency is the key. I would strongly recommend to listen to/ read about/ watch things that interest you. That is because your brain wants to save energy and will resist as is, so we at least can help by focusing on interesting subjects.
Also! Start with one of them!!
Btw I too want to learn Arabic and Spanish (I know just a few sentences in both)
@@danak5958 - Thanks. I haven't read a couple of your points before. Best of luck on the Arabic. My tip on it is to know which style of Arabic they are using. I'm focusing on Egyptian, the most widely understood. :)
@Dana K @Moi s may I know why are you guys even interested in learning other languages?!
@@xasma.x1786 - I find it is useful in understanding others as well as powerful for getting ahead in the world in general.
I bet your vocabulary grew significantly as well! I did the same for 18 months and one thing i noticed was how quickly I could read by the end of it. Its kind of like you learn what parts of the book you can skim through and what parts you need to focus on, while understanding all of it. Which was huge for me because I had a really hard time learning when I was young and never once thought I would enjoy reading so much.
Great job man!
I really needed this. Thank you so much for sharing it
Self control: It's kingship and majesty is a must read.

I love this! Reading is one of my favourite things to do, and I try to spend at least few hours a day doing it. It's hard tho, when you're a student, to remember to also read for pleasure, not just as a task...and finding styles of storytelling and subjects that you are personally invested in, helps you to read more!
During my first year of junior college I read a 25 volume set of Encyclopedia Britannica that I had purchased from my secondhand store for five dollars. It was the greatest investment I ever made in my own education and 25 years later I still consider it one of my greatest accomplishments.
The Glokage Good question. I went to college in the early 90s before the Internet and I needed information for a report that I was writing so I use the encyclopedia. I found so much information in the encyclopedia I just decided to read all of them.
As a child and a young man I was an avid reader. Somehow, over the years I let myself become seduced by the tv (and now the Internet), and I all but abandoned books. Your video has inspired me to put down the remote, set aside the mouse, and take up reading again in earnest..... Wish me luck!
That's amazing! Glad to hear that it had an effect. Good luck!
I'm not a fan of them but have u thought of listening to an audio book as u go to bed? I enjoy listening to other things, just not so much books

I HATED reading and never imagined that I could ever enjoy it. But quarentine happened and now I’ve read over 40 books in this period. It is truly life changing.

I had a similar experience around 2015 as well, podcasts and educational TH-cam videos though. And I think most of the positivity for both of our experiences comes from actively and intentionally making yourself a better person daily. It's compounding interest that pays dividends.
Don't make reading your excuse for procrastination.
True, but also: Don't make work your excuse for not developing yourself personally by not reading. Plus, being a well rounded and educated person almost certainly increases the quality of your work, given it has any meaning and complexity to it whatsoever (many jobs have not, but that is part of a different conversation). Every single person I have ever met who excels at what they are doing and really left a mark reads voraciously. It is the number one activity you can engage it to get your creative juices going, for creativity often comes from applying concepts from one area to another.
I’m already at the point where I prefer reading over TV, Internet and other things. I think I’m addicted.
Same here
And that’s a good addiction. :)

"...The System seems to be designed to take the life out of learning..." Bingo.
Reading is one of these habits that seems boring at the start, but becomes increasingly interesting the more you do it.

I learned to read when I was 6 and have never stopped reading ever since. In fact, I have stopped buying books, because I had so many (I gave away more than 3000 books when I moved the last time!). Today, I get all the books I read from the several libraries we have here. I also have access to a state library, as they are called here, that can provide almost every book ever written. So cool :)

I had this exact same experience 25 years ago as a young medical professional.
I committed to reading dense, technical articles and writing “take-home messages” about each article and summarizing the contents into a one-sentence or a one line summary.
I completed several hundred of these over the course of the next few years and the result is that I leapfroged my top competition and became famous within my own specialty.
Watch me as a slowly get up from my bed and grabbing a book that I started reading a century ago and never finished it. To now committed to finish it then start another. For the first time I am happy a random video was suggested to me. Thanks
