I’m glad I turned in my black and white tv to be able to see jocko in color
Shit bro, this is like technicolor all over again. What a miracle.
idk why but I never really realized it was even black and white I was just thinking jocko really likes black shirts.
13:48 13:46 13:47 13:47 13:46
That was hilarious!!!
JOCKO’S DEFAULT:
- ORDER IT
- SKIM IT
- LOVE IT OR LEAVE IT
- HIGHLIGHT IT
- REVISIT/ SPECIFIC NOTES FOR PODCAST
- MOST LEARNING COMES FROM DOING THE PODCAST
- SLOW DOWN YOUR READING
- LOOK FOR OPPOSING VIEWS
- LEARN FROM OTHERS THROUGH READING SO YOU DONT HAVE TO GO THROUGH IT YOURSELF
Great comment
I took a class on speed reading in high-school that I still use 25 years later.
For non-fiction books it works a treat. Most non-fiction books have too much fluff, so you skim and slow down when it gets to the stuff you need to know.
Doing this I can knock over two non-fiction books a week.
I read one fiction book per week in hard-copy and listen to one book on my Audible account.
Four books a week is very doable.
How many hours do you spend reading?
@@jackjack4412 2-3 hours
What kind of work do you do that doesn’t leave you burnt out and still capable of retaining what you read
What kind of non fiction do you read. I have very little interest in non fiction
What's the name of the method? I could use this.
Jocko, you carried me trough the trials of my life. You will never know. So much gratitude.
5:07 am, Perfect time to listen to podcast. I use to buy books I wanted to read but rarely got around to actually reading it. Podcasts have replaced reading non-fiction books.
It is definitely better than nothing but it is not the same. At least If your career involves reading and writing, it’s very important to be nimble with text. Again podcasts are great as well but be careful it is not the same.
Nothing will beat reading a book ever
Jocko, can you do a video showing off your whole library & perhaps tell us your top 5 books of all time
Great idea.
Jocko! Randomly select a book from the “never read” pile, autograph it, marry it up with an envelope addressed to a name randomly taken from your community, add a few bucks in Fourth Class mail, and PRESTO! One ecstatic listener and one less book!
Started getting disciplined around july 10th of this, got introduced to jocko through someone suggesting using his affirmations to better focus and develop discipline and its been really good . Glad i found Jocko. Ive had a few harder days discipline wise but staying consistent working out daily, learning new things, reading non fic been great.
To be smart is to learn from your mistakes. To be wise is to learn from others’ mistakes!
Jocko scares the knowledge into his head
Jocko's point of view from 6:43 - 7:48 is absolutely golden. It completely opened up my mind to new possibilities that an active reader can experience. Thank you Jocko.
For me, reading 20 pages a day without ever missing a day works best. That’s how I got through The Rise and Fall of the Third Reich and all three volumes of The Gulag Archipelago. I take bullet point notes on my phone as I read, so 20 pages can take a while.
Are you typing out your bullet points or using your camera to scan the lines you like in the book? Might help speed you along a little
@@IndigoCrimFilms This is a great idea, it might also be feasible to take actual pictures of the text and put them in albums representing that given book in your camera app. I know iOS has text recognition for photos in your camera roll, not sure about android as it’s been years since I’ve used an android phone.
Your ideas are a unique and excellent position to build upon, thank you. I wouldn't have thought of that. Now it does not sound condescending and places the person in a respected, valuable position.
Addendum. To reach to the top of a conversation, dialog, or position, one must be willing to bow. Only from the bottom can one rise. Those who rise too quick, upon the ladder, find that it was never designed to support the weight of their ambitions.
Jocko's book reading way:
Read the 1st page to see are you sucked in or not, then skip to the last pages to see how the book ends, then pick something from the middle of the book to see how it's written.
Happy reading of Immanuel Kant's "Critique of Pure Reason"!
Looking forward to the upcoming series that you just teased.
After buying 113 books & reading 68 books I realized The art of buying & The art of reading is totally different thing.
I usually buy a group of 4 or 5 and just don't buy any more until I have finished em. Anymore than that and you will prolly lose interest in some of them before you even read em.
true that! Inhave a bit of compulsion for buying books
there are a lot of books on my “waiting” list lol
ever since I’ve been keeping track , I read about 15 books a year
I’ll go to Goodwill come out with a stack of them every week. Then one book will take me 3 weeks to read lol 😅 being book obsessed has made me a better man.
Reading and listening are great skills to have
This is interesting. Jocko you say there is no such thing as a hack, but I love when people break down how to do things more effectively than the only/old/original way that I/other people know how to do it. Thank you. I use the sleeping and taking a nap advice you gave in the past, so please keep giving tricks that make life easier! I think this is the best advantage for youtube, seeing how people more effectively do things!
whats the sleeping/nap advice? haha
@@50shadesofcerakote Jocko sleeping nap advice. Put that into the google machine and see what it says! But Ill tell yea. He talked about an instructor that used to take cat naps.
The only problem is peoples "more effective ways" are usually just shortcuts. Very rare you come across someone who is doing something more efficiently than you without just cutting out important things.
Jocko is about there with the grad school reading method. Skim the cover and back, look at the table of contents and bibliography to get a feel for what the book is about and where it goes, and what sources it's pulling from. Next, read the entire introduction and the first chapter. After the introduction (and/or first chapter), read the last chapter or conclusion. Then skim through key sections or chapters for any pertinent information. Underline and use page markers, but most importantly, take brief notes on what the book is about, main arguments/thesis, key sections, and how it fits into larger conversations.
You don't need to read the entire book cover to cover, unless you have time and want to. Pulling the key aspects is what's important when reading a lot or with time constraints. My professor in one course wanted us to get to where we can read a 300 page book (including looking at TOC and Bibliography) in around thirty minutes. None of us did it, but you can train yourself to read through a book in an hour or two with this method.
Pulling the key aspects with out understanding how they got there cause your skimming most of it is dangerous. It's how they come to the conclusions that allows you to decide if it's a valid argument or not
@@Laocoon283 most books are written in a structure that you can grasp this information through finding these points in the intro, conclusion, and cursory look through the subsequent chapters, or taking a moment to look at the context that led to the book without reading it. Yes, you will miss out on small-moderate bits of info, but you pull the main significant points away and you will be able to return to the book and summarize through it.
Point being that when you have to read over a thousand pages of text a week, you're not going to meet this demand reading linear, word for word. Studies have also demonstrated that you're less likely to remember what you read too through a passive linear approach to reading, so being an active (skim) reader is better than a passive linear reader for information retention. Any key parts or important sections you can dive in or return to and read word for word or whole pages/chapters.
@@Laocoon283 also, "dangerous" is redundant as its a meaningless buzzword or empty signifier that doesn't specify how or to what it is dangerous for. I get this is a Jocko video, but we can gear down with the flashy, meaningless words.
@@stan3943 dangerous as in risky as in your risking misunderstanding important parts of the argument. Obviously lol. Redundant doesn't mean unnecessary btw lol. It means an unnecessary repetition.
@@Laocoon283 "adjective: redundant
not or no longer needed or useful; superfluous.
"many of the old skills had become redundant"
Similar: unnecessary, not required, inessential, unessential, needless, unneeded, uncalled for, dispensable, disposable, expendable, unwanted,
useless, surplus, surplus to requirements
,superfluous, too much/many
supernumerary, excessive, etc.
Opposite: essential, necessary
BRITISH
(of a person) no longer employed because there is no more work available.
"eight permanent staff were made redundant"
(of words or data) able to be omitted without loss of meaning or function.
'our peculiar affection for redundant phrases'"
It can mean either and more despite being commonly associated with an unnecessary repetition. Next, the point of this reading method is to seek and draw out important parts of the work and not get slowed down by repetitive and unnecessary (here we go again) words and pages.
Again, this is for when you need to read a large quantity of text for work, school etc. It also helps to practice active reading for books or articles that you plan reading from start to finish. You should practice this method unless you're reading for leisure.
For the risky argument: this is what they teach you to do in grad school. The goal of this method is to have a general understanding of any text assigned, including the main arguments and supporting details, as well as any supportive or critical evaluations of the text in relation to other connecting sources. You can and do dive deeper into the text and you will often highlight or note key sections to return to and discuss.
Last, it's up to you to decide: A) what works best for you; and B) how much time you need and what parts of the text you want to focus on.
I feel like the problem with the idea of "That's a good start" sounding condescending is that it depends a lot on the person hearing it. Particularly the degree to which they have accepted that everything can never be more than a good start. Things reach a point of completion, but never a point of perfection. Additionally, a good start is a whole lot better than a bad start; i.e. everything you've done so far is either destined to fail, or going completely the wrong direction. So if you tell me "That's a good start" I'd try to shove my ego back down to a healthy level, and take the remark as support for what I've done so far; followed by "Great, what you do want to add to it?"
“Lance Corporal Smith… said, boom ” sounded exactly like Dan Carlin lmao. Awesome information. I have a stack of 6 books I’m about to tackle. Extreme ownership thinking is in there for a second time. Thanks guys.
Starting a reading vlog was important for me to maintain a reading habit because it allows me to create content for my channel. Otherwise, I feel like I’m wasting time that I could be spending on writing ✍️
Check out Alex Kershaw, I read Against All Odds by him, it’s about the 4 most decorated WW2 veterans including Audie Murphy and Footsie Britt. Nonstop action with quotes and direct experience with tons of research behind it. Alex writes lots of good WW2 books.
I have stacks of books I’ve been working through as well. Lots of classic novels like Hemingway, Mark Twain, etc. WW2 is my big obsession for military books. I don’t think there was a more important 7 years in the 20th century, and the more I learn I see what a significant war it really was.
Jocko is my favorite celebrity personality
I've recently put my phone down at 8 pm and started reading before bed works as good as any sleeping pill.
I have been falling asleep to the moby dick audiobook for months this now lmao. Have to keep restarting the chapter.
For me taking total number of pages in book divide it by 7 and read the number of pages I get as a result of the division. Have been doing it since med school with academic as well as other books has worked wonders for me so far!!!
1000 pg books?
so what, 70, 120, 170 pagesa a day or what?
Put on an audio book before bed ... Then wake up and the book is completed.
Boom fastest way to read books .
You’re not wrong 😅
excellent situation awareness to ask the question "how do you say really good start without sounding condescending"
Bucketlist-
"Ride the Mississippi, pin her ears down flat"
Mississippi River Deckhand
(2 men stop 16 fully loaded trains with 2 ropes.)
1 fully loaded MS river barge = 16 fully loaded trains.
We used ropes to stop them, and guide them through locks. 2 men with ropes, controlling 16 fully loaded trains.
Sounds like reading a book is like planning a mission
Jocko, Do you have a list of books you recommend? Maybe a list of military, civilian, and self improvement based books mixed? I could bet money that I'm missing out on some of the greatest that are unknown to me.
This makes me want to read a book.
What about yellow highlighter, then orange highlighter as the 2nd go around of narrowing down?
Stare too long into the Jocko, and the Jocko stares into you.
i like to read the final sentence first and then start the book
My speed increased significantly.
Comprehension plummeted.
My process to selecting books to read - Read all books Jocko recommends
"Just give em the full props.." lol Echo
*Jocko Willink is the Reluctant Leader we need.*

Good start, condescench...
There is a book entitlrd How to Read a Book by Adaire. Would suggest one reads this as it is a classic book read by many.
I'm greatful for both of you thank you
No Way Out - Adam Jowett, British in Afghanistan would be good to hear you cover it
I've found a copy of "The Devils Hand" by Jack Carr in a crate of books at work recently. It's my first Jack Carr book 👍
I think i have at least 3 copies of "No Easy Day" and one of em is autographed. Real cool find 👍
Honestly the best way for me is to aim at the 1 book a week, i read around 2 hours a day, thats 14 hours a week, most books are 250-500, pages i can manage it with 14 hours
To whoever reads this,
I hope you have a wonderful day and no matter what stay happy as that is what matters most in life,
You are truly amazing and no one can ever take that away from you,
Be happy and enjoy life,
We don't have long on earth so make the most of it,
We’re all gonna make it brah 👑
I want a list of Jocko recommended books (that aren’t his, obviously). I’d also be curious to know if Jocko reads any fiction.
He loves the Harry Potter books
A list like that would be nice. I guess the closest thing currently available to that would be the list of books that he has featured on his podcasts. The list is on his website.
Episode 100, Musashi. I read it after listening to the podcast and then re-listened after reading. Worth it.
Musashi is One of the best novels I've read in a long time.
I take note of his guests and their books they’ve written like Jake Larsen and Chuck Tatum. I’ve also heard him recommend Blood Meridian by Cormack McCarthy. Really you should read everything by McCarthy I think.
You need to go through the book "How to Read a Book" by Adler
Funny how 2 minds think alike when it comes down to the color of the highlighter and pen.
I only listen to Jocko for the books
Solid podcast 😂
Jockoman, you should be a freakin' kids animation show with you as the hero. Not to mention action figure for young kids. Echo, get creeative and make it happen man. Give those 3-year old boys the joy of playing with a true HeMan figure.
Great idea. Expand the Jockoverse.
@@funnymcfunfuns1455 😎 the dude should be in every house as an action figure, why they haven't done it yet is beyond me. He could literally make millions of young boys want to go to the army. The fact that the US military doesn't pay Jocko 10 million bucks per year just for being Jocko and havong such a positive impact on US military personel is a sign of our times...
@@HellenicWolf they should have a whole lineup of figures, Jocko, Leif, Chris Kyle... There could be a cartoon that would be like a better updated version of GI Joe. As they get more popular they could start with bjj figures too and a bjj cartoon. I would order an Echo Charles figure immediately.
@@funnymcfunfuns1455 get to work then, send them an email with the idea.
@@HellenicWolf I'm going to make a video on what Jocko should do. If it gets huge I'll give you credit👍
InTELLigence = Asking & Answering = Who What Where When Which Why How...
Pick up the book. Not in english? Good. Put yourself in uncomfortable scenarios.
Audiobooks are a great idea as well. I work on my art with it playing in the background.
Shout out to Tilt ~
Nice 🎉
Hey jocko sir
Could you do a podcast about ulysses s grant
Good
Why do I feel like evertime the exchange of "good evenings" is some kind of test between the 2
I'm sure jocko read Eugene sledge book, with the old breed. Amazing story about fighting the japanese.
Love any book on war in thr Pacific. Japanese were fierce mofos
He did on his podcast 11 I believe
One of the early podcast
Hes done Robert Leckie and a couple of others
@@thel-dawg868 Gonna check both those episodes out.
Thank you. Was unaware he talked about these books. Both were great books.
echo: "read, listen, rest/sleep... the three things that make you smart"
jocko: "thats really good...... but like honestly, what about MATH"
man I bust out laughing lol was having a rly bad day, thanks for that
Now in glorious Technicolor
It's not a competition, reading a book.
"You caught me, I like to break a mental sweat too"
Mr. Willink,
@5:55
In regards to highlighting and notes in margins of books, Ms. Hoover said it best in this lecture ( ua-cam.com/video/HoHFZ4aNBB8/v-deo.html ) @ 29:46 , “it’s the highest form of flattery for an author [to do the aboveformentioned ] .
Thank you.
Sincerely,
R.W.N II
P.S.~ See Nabokov’s rules for readers.
❤️
Jocko I don’t know if you like it but I have a book: bij ons in auschwitz (dutch). I don’t know if this one also is in English but it’s about the stories of the Jews in the camp. I will send it to you if you want or send you a link.
They go in the detail everything sometimes you hair is go up if you read it
“You’re really onto it there”
Bit less condescending
Leadership and training for the fight. Ret. US Army MSG Paul Howe. If you haven't read it, read it. I'd love to hear about it on the podcast
Open a book, read the last page. Boom. Done. Open another book, jump to the last page. Killin it.
You should read the first page as well though. This is how I watch movies, my friend has them on and as I move about the house as long as I catch the beginning and end I'm comfortable that I understand what happened.
I just f***ing BURNED my fingers!! I have to get my apt cleaned & be ready to go to Hemodialysis this morning. Otherwise I will get evicted. 😔
👍
Jocko have you read "How to read a book" by Mortimer J. Adler?
I read roughly 4-5 books per week, and listen to another book per week during my commute. If you can teach your brain to process words in the same way it processes pictures or images, you can drastically improve your reading speed. For audio books or podcasts gradually increase the playback speed, currently I'm listening to audiobooks at 1.85x speed.
“Intimate papers of Colonel House”
Literally as I'm reading
You were browsing videos while reading a book?
@@akumpi maybe he doesnt know what literally means. Maybe he should read a book.
🤣😂🤣😂 Jocko does what most people do...ha ha

Why these podcast are underground, even if available on Air,
Is your podcast hide under the subscription of website?
READ THE GENESIS 6 CONSPIRACY BY GARY WAYNE
How come the teaser gets released on UA-cam before the episode gets released to the platform where I’m paying for the underground specifically?
For the same reason that movie trailers get released on the open internet before they get released into a theater where someone has to pay to watch it. They’re trying to increase paid subscribers.
Read. Listen. Ask. The Socratic method is criminally underrated
It depend who ur talking with i thibk
Definitely passed the test of time, unlike many other philosophers. Be a wise ignorant.
He said he reads the books at the pace he talks, he said it takes a long time for him to read. Makes the thumbnail misleading.
I talk to my books. I'll read a sentence then try to develop a conversation from it. I do that for almost every sentence
... that would not work for LotR and books of that genre.
I do the same, and this is why I have trouble getting through books.
just try to guess the pause between the intro and "good evening echo" ... dramatic and always unpredictable ... like a roller coaster
I'm not Superman, Jocko...
dont mention the walls
I was expecting for him to say "put it in a blender and make a protein shake "
I like story time
Jocko is like a buff Marcelo Rebelo de Sousa
Haven't tuned in for a long time on this channel - and now they are in colors .......
I'm ready about Fallujah in honor and betrayal so I ain't watching your long videos but I'm sure there good. Butcher became bag Dadi...
How to be smart:
1- Read

jocko vz joe i gonna be a greaat match. i think joe goonn be taken for lunch😀
Hey, Jocko, how do I read faster?
"Slow down."
Read the Joko way....
UA-cams auto sub titles cant comprehend jockos name, so it thinks he introduced himself as knock on willink
Knock-On Willink? That's Jocko's carny cousin. ; )
UA-cam underground - real underground xD LOL
