Did you add your face in on a circle to test out what u learnt from Mrwhosetheboss
Brother, Dont forget Quran..
Hey Ali love from India ❤️😇 regular follower...
I recommend you to read blue ocean shift, it will change your perspective on business forever.
I really love these kind of videos
Keep going 💙💙
Can’t hurt me by David goggins LITERALLY changed my life. I read it 4 times last year and i HIGHLY RECOMMEND it. Loved the recommendations 👏🏽🙏🏽
Same!
That book helped me last year with my fitness transformation. Great book!
That's the reason why clicked on the video 📸
Same here
I read that too! It’s pretty motivational
These books are all mainstream, but no one talks about the book Money ancient magic, contains all the secrets of money all recommendations
where can i find it bro
@@stephanndon Nixorus thank me later:)
Thank you, friends, they have great things!@@Chadinaa
I really suggest "Can't Hurt Me" by Goggins. Spectacular story telling. I also suggest to read the book and the listen to audio version as well. They made the audio in podcast-like manner. One of the best books I've ever read.
The fact that nobody talks about the forbidden book Making Money Your Reality speaks volumes about how people are stuck in a trance
Cheers for everything Ali. Appreciate the inspiration you provide for us
Im placing orders for so many of these books. I really aspire to be able to share my knowledge like Ali one day. He’s providing so much value for society and we need more people like him😌
aww thanks
💯 ♥️
good luck !!
Damn, you’re cute.
Educated is eye-opening
*I love Ali 's way of thinking so much, can literally talk about any topic and I'm hooked*
Ali, you’re doing a great job with the hosting lately. It’s more relaxed.
Dear Ali, your skillshare productivity class is truly a gamechanger. Thank you from the center of my brain.
Glad you think so!
I’m so glad I found your channel. I’m a medical student across the pond in the US and have wanted to start a TH-cam channel for years. Seeing how successful you’ve been as a student and junior doctor inspired me to finally take the leap of faith. Thank you!
Agreed. Good comment Tim. Ali seems to be the real deal.
It is so good to see you are *posting* more often. You make great videos and we all want to see more!
Ali, thank you for your thoughts and recommendations. I truly appreciate your positivity and candor. All the best for 2022 . . .
Always love Ali’s book recommendations! There were a few in here that I’ve read (Can’t hurt me, Never Split the difference) but can always come away with a few gems - excited to read the millionaire fast lane and die with zero. Thanks Ali!
Thanks for all the recommendations! Based on a previous video of yours I ended up reading Elantris and totally loved it! In fact, I then gobbled up the Mistborn series too, which was even better. I hadn't read science fiction in a long time and this was a great gateway back into it, thanks Ali!
God bless you Ali,
I came across your channel last year 2021 and gradually started falling in love with your content on how you educate people.
You are truly awesome and I pray I get to meet you in person someday and tell you.
Keep being a blessing.
Thank You Ali, as always, for guiding us in the path for a better self. I wish you read my first book released on 1st of this year, 'The Flower Of Fulfillment'. Anyway, Happy 2022!
Love this format! I will definitely add "Never Split The Difference" to my 2022 reading list :)
It really is an awesome book
Ali thank you very much for your advice!! I hadn't yet read 14 of them so definitely will pick some for my 2022 list!
Always giving the best recommendations! Thanks, Ali!
I've been waiting for this one. The list from last year was really phenomenal and this one definitely raises the bar.
Here goes another 17 more books to my never ending tbr. Loving the recommendations btw
I discovered your channel just today and I'm binge watching your videos and let me tell you , your videos really make a difference. Keep doing what you're doing, you're the best🙌🤞👏
Ali, I started my own TH-cam channel today and just wanted to say thanks for the content you put out as it ultimately inspired me to go for it!
I loved “Never Split the Difference” read it about 4 times now.
It's good right. I need to study it and practice. Like a workbook.
chriss voss got masterclass too right..seems like same title in the book..the mirroring thing
Amazing! Grateful for some new reads I hadn’t hear of.🙏🏼🌹
Definitely getting some of these... Already listened to "The Psychology of Money", currently listening to "The Millionaire Fastlane" all thanks to you... Life changing... Thank you very much...
Wow Ali! I bumped into your page and saw quite a few of your videos and I just have to say they are amazing! Very informative and interesting and so well structured. Love it, great video(s)!!
Just as I was looking for books to read from your channel, this video came out, the perfect timing!
Successful people don't become that way overnight. What most people see at a glance wealth, a great career, purpose is the result of hard work and hustle over time. I pray that anyone who reads this will be Successful in life.
You're right. Been thinking of going into gold and bitcoin trading
It's obvious everyone is going into investing in forex especially Bitcoin
I totally agree with you it has been an eye-opening experience for a lot of people.
Investment is the key to achieving success with the current pandemic slowing down so many businesses
Yes the economic crisis has taught people the importance of multiple streams of income unfortunately having a job doesn't mean security
Its amazing how you sound just like Simon Sinek! Love the way you teach all the stuff you share in a very easy, interesting n practical way. Keep sharing!
Educated is a wonderful book, a clear example of how you can move ahead in life despite your background. And the title is great, too. I also love how the high point is that she comes to Cambridge.
I'm currently living with my parents and I disturb them all day by telling what I read everyday . I think unknowingly it is a great way to remember what you read. And now I’m currently about 80% through "Playbook to Millions by Grant Cardone. I have read a lot of entrepreneurial books and self improvement books, and this book is my absolute favorite. This book is extraordinary and really gets you to work extremely hard toward your goals in life and succeed at multiple different areas like personal finance, business and career. This is an absolute must buy if you need a push to get you going in business or you want more out of life.
I missed this channel!!! And thank you Ali. I love everything you post on this channel
As a long time fan of all , I can honestly say he's had a huge impact on my life, love the vids keep them up !
I love reading books . I have read some but now I don't read because for some years I want listen English language and improve it . Also I do house work , my mom can't do it. Reading books is beneficial for improving the knowledge of person and improve the ability of brain . Reading useful books is anti anxiety. Reading books is like a friend . Thank you bro Ali 👍
Thank you Ali for giving all the inspiration Ali
Thank you :) your book videos really helpful when choosing a book .Nowadays best way to communicate ourselves is reading
I saw your Instagram story about A Master's Secret Whispers, and I'm so thankful that you posted about it! I finished it a couple of days ago, and it was really amazing!! excited to read the ones in this list!
A channel like this is so necessary for me . Glad that found a mentor like him!
Never been so happy for a long time.
I love that you recommended Alfie’s book on unconditional parenting . As an early childhood teacher I agree it is really life changing book. Another great one is by louse porter on behaviour.
Thanks for these recommendations, Ali. I appreciate that you read widely and don't just read business or productivity books. A couple of these are one my list to read, like Millionaire Fast Lane and Can't Hurt Me so I'll start one of those after I finish Think And Grow Rich. Happy Sexy Millionaire was a book I read last year and I have become a big fan of Steven Bartlett. I definitely recommend it.
I thought an important clarification about unconditional parenting is that rewards aren’t bad, they can be very useful in demonstrating love to children. But too much of something is never good, it goes into lenient parents who stray away from setting rules allowing children to do whatever they want which is good but can be lead to maladaptive behaviors if not looked into or limited
Have you read "The Dip"? highly recommend.
It illustrates the concept of "the dip"-a temporary setback that can be overcome with persistence-and how to recognize if you are within one worth pushing through or one where you should quit.
The dip is a killer book. Great recommendation.
could you mention the author please ?
@@luismambrini18 The one and only Seth Godin.
@@rukasu-se right on Lucas . just bought the book , thanks for the tip!
Best takeaway I got: You should give up when you don’t see yourself improving anymore even when you add increasingly more effort, NOT when the improvements are slowing down.
When I first found your channel I feel like I want to be productive like you too. Pls keep inspiring other people to try and keep doing amazing things.
Hi. I just recently discovered your Channel and now I'm hooked! 👍You are so good at what you do & thank you for sharing this talent of yours with us, your viewers. 💯
Hey, in one of your previous videos you said you wanna do more videos on relationships/love/friendships. I highly recommend reading Attached by Amir Levine, it's one of the most eye opening books I've read in the past few years. Knowing about attachment theory is a complete game changer to maintain healthy relationships.
Ur videos are so informative, helpful, useful, eye opener, game changer etc etc..... i can go on n on n on...... Thank you so much n god bless you ✋🏽.
Wish you all the best for your future endeavours ✌🏾. 💯❤️
Thank you so much for the suggestion. This really means a lot to me
Four Thousand Weeks sounds really interesting! Life is SO short and it's so important to be intentional with our time.
wow Ali you are so humorous!! Haha you always crack me up somehow... and thank you for the great content! I am always following all of your videos
Can't hurt me is my favourite book, I'm happy you talked about it!
Great recommendations. The "Die with Zero" ideas is really good. Some people pass away young so you don't want to miss out on enjoying some of your money now while your healthy.
I listened to never split the difference on audible and ABSOLUTELY LOVED IT, I thought those stories were so interesting and insightful
Thank you!! Love this man. Keep up the great work.
Hey Ali, thanks so much for your great content. My daughter and I enjoy your you tube offerings so much. I have read about a third of these books already and am looking forward to reading the others. I was wondering what made you choose them and what your sources were if you don’t mind sharing… there is so much out there in this age of information. Thanks again for sorting through so much. Best wishes!
👍👍👍👍👍
Some great recommendations. Ive added a few to my wish list. Thanks for this
Listening to four thousand weeks on audible right now! Going to do a synthesis of it on my channel very soon, it's an amazing read!!
Awesome dude 🤩, finding you literally the best thing that happened to me on 2021 . Keep up the great work ✨ btw kinda miss ur old cute outro 🥺
Thank you for the list. Added quite a few of them to my wishlist and might revisit some I've already gone through. Oliver Burkeman's The Antidote is also a great read, will check out Four Thousand weeks for sure.
Models and Millionaire Fastlane are also books I've recommended quite a few times, although the title and topic sometimes scared people off :D.
People should read more books, it's one the things I benefit from most in life. Thanks for the recommendations, that makes it easier to start.
Keep it up ♥️
Totally agree! There are books about literally everything, fictional and non fictional. There's something for everyone :)
Picked up really good habits from Ali. I was struggling with a huge overdraft pre pandemic. Struggled to even pay rent or buy food. I learnt a lot from Ali and started side hustles/ventures during uni. Now I am on 6 figures. Massive thank you for all your motivation.
What type of side hustles would you suggest for a uni student??
I started reading the Mistborn series after watching one of your videos and man, that was so very very good. I read The Well Of Ascension and yet to read The Hero Of Ages. I am just addicted to Brandon Sanderson's writings. I can read them for hours without any break!
Love the videos that feature book reviews ❤
Hi Ali, I have been following you for years and your contents are outstanding,
Can’t Hurt Me by David Goggins is arguably one of the most impactful books out there. It's applied stoicism at its best. It's raw content, but after listening to appearances at Joe Rogan's and Rich Roll's, and after digging a bit in his story, it literally changes your life and the way you go about your days. It surely did it for me
Totally agree. Goggins approach to life is truly special. After reading, you can't help but think, "Wow, I'm soft as fuck right now but going forward I have so much more potential to tap into than my mind thinks."
I started reading the Mistborn series because of you and it is indeed awesome!
This year I'm commited to read 6 books.
1. Why We Sleep - Amazing book about sleep that everyone should read.
2. Atomic Habits - Big failure that I didn't read it yet, I only read the Tiny Habits that is also amazing.
3. Deep Work
4. Smarter Fast Better - from the same author has the Power of Habits
5. Hyper focus
6. The E Myth
I'm pretty sure that some of those I added to my list because I saw it in your channel :)
@Jannes Ebeling really? How cool 😁
I'm in the 10th chapter, it's amazing what we learned on that book!
Your gonna love Atomic Habits. Great list!
@@georgewhite553 yeah me too! just finished atomic habits, later I will start reading why we sleep :)
Atomic habits is ❤️.
What I liked about it is that unlike some other self help books, it actually gives you a straight 4 step action plan for your habits.
I tried it with a few habits I wanted to develop and it's going great.
It is a book that, I feel like, can be a foundation for making actionable takeaways from other self help books.
E myth sucks.... Just listen to the cortex podcast about it save yourself the time
Always excited to see your videos. 🤩🤩
Very helpful, thanks for the recommendations
Exactly what I needed!!
Thanks Ali for the recommendations, millionaire fast lane is waiting on my kindle and traction + 4k weeks interest me, so I will look to grab a copy. I greatly benefitted in 2021 from the book Effortless - I think u would love it.
Thanks for the recommend ali 🙏
Ali you are doing great, keep up the good job.. ✌️😊🤗
Was interesting listening to what you learned from the books ❤
I’ve read ‘Millionaire fast-lane’ since 2019 and it’s indeed worth the read!
Ali, I could listen to you all day. I just want to hang out with you and take in all your knowledge in. You are such an amazing man. I hope my dream come true soon!!! 😘😘😘
I've never commented on a you tube video before, but really wanted to voice how super duper awesome your channel, content and videos are! Thanks so much for sharing!
This is great content, thanks for sharing
Oooh looking for some new books to read and review!
Thanks :)
Excellent video! I will look into the list of books…thank you!
Perfect timing. I was searching for a book for the past hour
I really enjoy these book summaries and especially when you relate the information to your own experiences.
Maybe one day you could do a video about how your contracts work and if Angus has management powers over you too 😉
Maybe one day!
Never Split the Difference is a great book 👍🏻
anh Phúc trôi dạt đâu đâyyyy hiiii
I literally finished the book, flipped back to the cover and started reading it again. Such a good read!
Is it have the Vietnamese version?
