This is financial advice and I never give financial advice: DONT LEAVE DURING THE BEAR. If you don’t want to invest…learn. If you don’t want to learn…build. If you don’t want to build observe. DO SOMETHING…other than leave. There is so much opportunity here. Take advantage!
Very true, I started investing before the pandemic and that same year I pulled a profit of about $750k with no prior investing experience, basically all I was doing was seeking guidance from *ROCHELLE DUNGCA-SCHREIBER* who's a guru in the game, you can be passively involved with the aid of a professional.
who else uses Tomas Frank to procrastinate but feel productive
ME
Hahahahahahahaha
Okay.. you got me. I'm guilty.
Oh shiiih 😂
Oof. I feel that. I'm just loocking for good books to order today. Gotta get some new ones.

Read The Power Of Now. you will learn to cope with feelings and your excessive thinking. You will be happy after reading this book as i am now.
And additionally also read The Mindset
The Power of Habit by Charles Duhigg. An excellent book on the role of habit in daily life and business.
Yes, I just read this one too. It will change your perspective on the world. Thomas Frank did a video on it as well: ua-cam.com/video/5Ws2WfeD6d8/v-deo.html
i'm just reading that one almost finishing
Just started reading it. One of the best books.
I'm reading that one too, it's an amazing book. Everybody should read it.
A great book, the best on the topic
Wow. Thomas’ eyes are really captivating.
He's the Clark Gable of metaphysicians!
I don’t know if it’s only me but I can’t read digitally I need to have the physical book
Yes
@@I_am_the_one101 yeah me neither, I don't feel comfortable with digital reading.
My books are full of notes. I can't do that digitally.
Gentlemen of FC I love physical book that digitally love the feeling of the book on my hands
Me too i can read bood digital but usually i wont read it full
Im a first generation college student and I love and live off your blog post, your book, your videos, and podcast. You are my biggest influencer and I get excited for all of your new content! Keep up the great work!
I can not recommend The Happiness Equation enough. It saved me when I completely crashed and burned. It helped me recover from my burnout and refocus myself.
I remember reading that line about Covey telling the man to love his wife. Love, the verb! It was beautiful. Thank you Thomas!
If only it were that simple
Sorry, Retirement at the age 52 was the absolute BEST! I have been retired for 6 years and have so many interests and so much fun. I lost weight. Started to grow a garden. Started some great cooking. Started water aerobics and daily walking. Spend time at the coffee shop with my husband playing cards. One of my favorite books is your Money or your Life. I always happy seeing someone else happy and working but for me my life improved 10 times over in retirement. I had some great role models in my life like my dad who really blossomed in retirement. So it might not be for everyone.
Love all your videos, Talk Like Ted was one that helped me a lot at least so far.
'As a man Thinketh' by James Allen had a great impact on the way I interpret things. Loved it.
Humayun Khadjaev Thanks for the tip - it’s available free online at Gutenberg.org
I found your channel randomly a couple days ago. I have NOT stopped binge watching them...my writers journal has many pages of notes from them. Thank you so very much Thomas.
One book you recommend in your webpage changed my life. It is A Mind for Numbers.
Awesome book, changed my way of learning.
I am reading A Mind for Numbers right now actually and the first chapter alone had me fascinated! Can't wait to finish it.
Who’s the author??
@@avesaryanna2865 Barbara Oakley
Your thumbnail game is on fire these days ❤️
Seriously Thomas, your content and advice is so amazing and inspiring. Thank you for all your work. Your like the most relatable guy I know. I love your spirit and character and the consistent quality and effort you put in to these videos. You change lives!
My list:
1. MONEY Master the Game
2. Principles Life and Work by Ray Dalio
3. A Mind for Numbers - How to Excel at Math and Science
4. The Rational Optimist
5. Thinking Strategically
6. Homo Deus: A Brief History of Tomorrow
Thanks for recommending book NO.3 Thomas
The Willpower Instinct - Kelly McGonial
Sapiens - Yuval Noah Yahrari
Idiots Guide to Mindfulness
Atomic Habits - James Clear
I have got to see that waterproof notebook with that suction cup! Brilliant 👌🏻
Add a link please!
Seconded. That is the one thing that I have to buy now.
Just finished reading “the motivation hacker” based on your recommendation... loveddd it thank you
Procrastination Elimination Method by John Isaac < this is the book that changed my life.
I can’t find this book on the web
I'm going to read that...eventually
Very true, I’ve been married for 25 years and love is what I do in my marriage to keep my marriage intact. Patience, kindness, acts of service, words of validation, etc. When your partner feels like he willingly gives it in return.
The best I got from this video, at least in my opinion))
7:09 "WE ARE BUILT TO CONSTANTLY PROGRESS. WE ARE BUILT TO WORK. WE ARE BUILT TO STRUGGLE. LIFE IS A TYPE OF COMBAT AND THAT IS WHAT WE ARE ADAPTED FOR."
~Thomas Frank
Thank you!
I have been meaning to read some books like these to stay productive and learn over my holidays as I have finished college. My mum bought me ‘Thinking Fast and Slow’ but due to my exams I have never got time to read it. I should check it out but I haven’t read a book in a long time and have lost the reading habit so I need to get back into this habit.
Psycho Cybernetics is one of the most wonderful and underrated books. Give it a try !
That book is crazy indeed
Currently reading "the 7 habits of highly effective teenagers" by Sean covey. Looks amazing.
You and your website are amazing - very content-rich and inspirational!!
The Power of Habit - Charles Duhigg
Sapiens "A Brief History of Humankind"- Yuval Noah Harari
Deep Work - Cal Newport
So good that they can't ignore you- Cal Newport
These are some of the books that have somewhat "changed my life"
I suggest Mindset by Dr Carol Dweck such a good book for being aware of the behaviour of the growth mindset and fixed mindset
Some books have changed my mind, but only the Bible has changed my heart.
I absolutely love the retirement point made, I have never liked the idea of retiring; stopping work seems daunting to me. Thanks for the insight I will definitely read a few of these books.
"Think and Grow Rich" by Napoleon Hill
"The Power of Now" by Eckhart Tolle
"The Daily Stoic" by Ryan Holiday
"Change Your Thinking, Change Your Lie" by Brian Tracy
" The War of Art" by Steven Pressfield
Just some reccomendations. I read so many books its hard for me to pick just a few but these are ones that really stand out in my memory
Can you make a video about your reading habits? Like what you like to note, how you take notes, how do you refer to stuff etc. when you read books.
David Goggins-Cant hurt me, great motivation book!
One book I’d like to suggest would be Napolean Hill’s Think and Grow Rich. It’s based on the concept of law of attraction. If you want to change your perspective on ‘struggle’, that book should be perfect for you :)
Where did you get yours at? I found one on eBay but not sure if it’s a legit one cuz I know they have republished so many different versions of the original one
@@pinkie09999 I bought the edition "revised for the 21st century" because it is a rather old book (about 80 years old) and therefore, a lot of the information is outdated. Even though it contains some helpful pages (like the checkmark lists for achieving your goals), I wouldn't recommend this book in contrast to Ahad.
The main reasons are the esoteric imaginations Mr Hill is sticked to (like this collective ether of voices that doesn't exist and makes no sense at all) and the fact that he doesn't mention passive work/passive income as an alternative for a good and successful life (not even once!). Instead, the author only talks about the difficulties of finding a good job and the hard work that's connected to a long and successful career, which is, of course, also important, but only a small part of the ingredients of how to grow rich and wealthy.
In conclusion: I would only recommend the revised edition, if any edition, cause this book is really outdated and not very helpful....
Sorry, if this comment was too long, I unfortunately tend to write long comments. Definitely my fault!
Am almost finished it now, an extremely good read.
@@alexandren.9346 I bought the same book as yours
Dude. Thomas. I’ve been watching this channel a bit and can I just say that 1) your videos have great quality 2) they actually help people change their lives 3) I appreciate it
Watching this channel is literally transforming my life for the better. Thank you as always, Thomas 🙌🏼💖
"I've been with my *girl* friend..."
Hopes and dreams: crushed.
Heart: broken.
Fantasy: ruined.
... Nah, who am I kidding with that last one. ;)
Great content as always, Mr. Frank! Some day I'll read "Thinking Fast and Slow," but damn, is it intimidating.
QuesoCookies Set a date and time. Get it done lad. You won’t be sorry
2 years later: did you read it?
Pragmatic Thinking and Learning is a great book
Thank you so, much! Your channel’s content is amazing and it’s only getting better each upload. Keep up the great work!!
Might be a bit late to the party here, but a great video and some great book suggestions! Love the way you give context to each choice, and that there's some variety to the content too!
A book that has had a big influence on the way I teach was "A Mind for Numbers" by Dr Barbara Oakley, which I heard about on this channel. However, the book that has and continues to influence me the most is the Holy Bible.
That's the one book you never find on these lists but you should.
We want a john fish colab
What he said !
yes
No we don’t
YESSSS
no
My favorite is "The Law of Success".
Great content as always man! Thanks!!
*_LOVE FROM BANGLADESH😍😍😍_*
MISSED U DUDDDDEEE
HUG FROM BRAZIL
George Carvalho can i get a hug too?
of courseeee, come here :D
Thomas, your booktube-influence is great! 😍 Thank you for so many non-fiction recommendations. As a (german) Booktuber i read a lot of literary fiction, a lot of Classics and i enjoy most that i can learn a lot from the books about society, psychology, moral and language. Non-fiction books would be a nice addition. :)
I from Brazil and this is one the best Channel to practice my listening and learn something that worth every single second spent with. Congrats and keep going.
"FIT IN ONE YEAR" should be on this list
i was looking for someone to mention it 🙌🙌🙌
100%
I agree
I'm 60 years old. 50#s overweight...is 'Fit In One Year' a book for someone my age?
@@Andrew-yw6kt the first level should be appropriate, after that you will see if you just want to stay with it or move up to a higher level
THE POWER OF YOUR SUBCONSCIOUS MIND BY JOSEPH MURPHY
Thanks Thomas. Can't thank you enough. Your videos inspire people around the world. Your fan, from 🇵🇭
YOU completely changed my life!!! Thanks so much🙏☺️😄
Your motivation, your teachings and the cherry on top, your recommendation for Habitica🥰🥰🥰 It’s the first time I’ve enjoyed tasks, I love it. It made me a better person and this is all thanks to you, with your work and this UA-cam channel. May it live forever!
THE MORAL ANIMAL, _why we are the way we are_
Really made me rethink how I view everything regarding human relation and politics.
It's gets really spicy towards the middle.
If You're interested in the topic: neuwritesd.org/2016/09/22/left-brain-right-brain-red-brain-blue-brain/
There is also plenty of new research which gives ground to rejection of the concept of "free will" in moral decision making, especially with refrence to split second decision making in complex situation with high levels of uncertainty. Yet many legal systems are based on silent assumption that free will is real, so there are also many new books published as a part of discussion between lawyers and law-makers and experts in neuroscience about whether or not it still makes sense to take this assumption for granted in some legal cases. In others it porbably will have to remain but is should be amde clear that it's yet another "legal fiction" not something real.
femmeNikita27 Interesting.
Jonathan Haidt has also very interesting talks and interviews here on youtube.
femmeNikita27 Heh, at this point you're just preaching to the choir.
Let's rather find a topic to disagree on 😉
Thank You for suggestion. I will check his talks. As for free will- well, neuroscience can already prove that our brain knows half a minute before we decide to do something on a conscious level (so using prefrontal cortext) that we are about to do this thing, so as much as I liked the concept of "free will" I have to admit - according to most recent state of scientific knowledge we have to admit that this concept is at the best "comfortable legal fiction we all agree on" rather than how human decision making in fact works.
Books change life. Don't eat books. #donteatbooks
I agree, eating books is unhealthy unless it’s the book gum from Jimmy Neutron
Thomas Frank comeon Thomas, everyone now you shouldn't eat gum ;)
@@karlholde6901 Everyone also 'knows' that it is spelt 'know' not 'now'.
@@Thomasfrank How I wished that was real when I was a kid! ...Still do. lol
What about library candy?
Hey Frank, thanks for doing book videos and that’s why I follow your channel. Keep it going.
The love part...was on point...i should point out that not only work for relationships but also for stuff that we do in our everyday life!
Those of us who work for ourselves don't want to retire because our job isn't just a way to pay the bills, it's our passion. For a lot of us, it's our identity really. The people who look forward to retiring are usually the people who work for someone else. My family and I just went on a four week road trip and my stepdad pointed out that that would be impossible if he and my mom were still working.
I've heard years ago people would have something called a sabbatical year, where maybe seven years or so, instead of just getting a few weeks off from work, people would get a whole year off. This would make things like long leisurely trips possible and could be a good alternative to full on retirement.
Also, I love Boyinaband too. I didn't discover him very long ago, but his video about internet addiction, partly about active use of the internet vs passive use, made me realize how fortunate content creators are.
I love the sabbatical concept. The 4-Hour Work Week also mentions "mini-retirements", which are basically the same thing: Take a good long break from working, but then come back to a new project. I think this fits in much better with the cycles of work and rest that we operate on. People need some sort of mission to be working towards.
Thomas Frank Yes and ideally everyone would be working on something they really want to be working on.
It's funny you mention 7 years, because I'm actually rising like a phoenix after 7 years of being a stay at home dad with my kids. I'm 50 this year and feel like this is just the beginning, retirement is the antithesis of the direction I'm heading, that's for sure. And, @Thomas Frank, your videos are a really good influence. Keep up the good work, and thanks for all you do.
Well said !
You’re so handsome!😍 Thank you for the awesome videos! They’ve helped me!💗
Just wanted to express appreciation for the fact that you don't use affiliate links for your book recommendations. It speaks volumes about your credibility.
Thank Thomas did just order 3 of your recommended books. Did heard about a couple of times but your quick summary was great and I had to get them! Keep up the good work!
Book that transformed my life: inner engineering ,Yogi's guide to joy
I highly recommend 'Ego is the Enemy' by Ryan Holiday.
Why?
The thing you mention about not retiring... Tim Ferris mentions that in the 10 hour work week as well. Take small vacations through your life instead of investing in retirement
Good to see u again!
I’m buying four of these five books since I already have the one by Covey. Thomas dude are all these books available in Kindle format?
Yep, they should all be on Kindle!
Come on, take and the fifth ... 😉😋
@@SardonianSmile i think h e alredy have it
Try...' The Last Lecture ' - Randy Pausch & ' What I talk about when I talk about running ' - Murakami
Oh! Boyinaband also used the concept of Threat Bet or Commitment Contract by way of the negative reinforcement of having to donate to the Church of Scientology
um
Yup. He said he needed something that horrible for the negative reinforcement to induce the proper response.
Amazingly useful little not-so-little life lesson there! You should definitely throw in those more often!
I am 67.5 and I will never retire --- I love learning and solving complex problems.
A really amazing book for relationships is "The 5 Love Languages" by Gary Chapman. It is more geared towards couples, however, it can also be applied to other relationships as well. He also has other books on the subject but I highly recommend this one to everyone.
Mark Mason the subtle art of not giving a
YASS
next on my list hopefully it encapsulates all these books
Yes, just picked up this book recently.
My 2 cents: Feelings are all verbs, feelings are active things that are experienced
New fun reads (or listens) are like waiting to open a new present 🎁 So exciting 😁
I have read and loved two on this list (Covey’s and Tim Ferris’) Can’t wait for the other ones✨
🤗💕
And u completely changed my life...thanks
'12 Rules for Life' by Jordan B Peterson, honestly changed my life. I'd recommend it to anyone.
Indeed. Great man. Great book
So you're saying that lobsters changed your life?
Ermir Ismaili let the lobsters into your heart
sean gallagher started this recently
so you're saying you love nazi propaganda?
Love your videos Frank. I have been watching your channel since 2014. You provide amazing content and evolve over time.
Great video! Adding these books to my audible wishlist!
Hey Tom!
I don't usually read books, but recently I've been having this urge to start absorbing knowledge from the books. But there is so much of them, so I don't really want to start from complex and deep books, so that I don't get tired of them fast. Do you have any suggestions for easy and addictive books that will develop the habit of reading?
MrUaliev Harry Potter books are really easy and have a good story, especially if you haven't seen the films or can't remember the storylines. Other teen fiction can be good, but I'd definitely recommend fiction over non fiction to start
I second Harry Potter, there is a reason why the series is so I'll popular
Yes approach reading with the intention to learn something that interests you, but at the end of the day, you cant go wrong with Harry Potter. I use to only read books for educational purposes, which was enjoyable / rewarding but when I stumbled upon the HP series, I discovered the joy of reading. Now, I read about 3 books at a time, one of them always being a fiction book that I can read while laying on my bed at the end of the day.
Thanks guys. I've already tried reading Harry Potter back when I was a kid but I didn't really enjoy it and barely passed through first 40 pages of the first book. It felt like an obligation to read it. Maybe I will try it again but I'm already 20 and not really into wizards sort of genre.
I still don't like reading, but now, everytime i commute or go to the park, i'll always listen to an audiobook. I found out that my memory associates places i've been to with chapters i've listenned, so every time i go to the place it makes me think of the book, it is really insane when you think about it but really useful.
Hey Thomas! Can yo do an another book recommendation video.
Lifechanging book for me is Chasing the Scream: The First and Last Days of the War on Drugs. You can get an idea of what he writes about from the many interviews and talks given by the author, Johann Hari, on youtube and podcasts.
I am adopting you as my honorary son. You have inspired me to be myself again. i was energetic like you back in the day, then married someone who was jealous of the optimism. After I divorced him he spent 10 years convincing the world (and me) that I was manic (and therefore bipolar - and therefore not qualified to raise my children or practice my profession - all of which are doing great btw). I have been, however, hiding under a rock. Good to see the light again! Thanks for the inspiring videos
like will be given.
I am reading The Obstacle in The Way by Ryan Holiday and reading Man's search for meaning by Viktor E Frankle and then going to read Infinite Jest by David Foster Wallace. Then going to get a jump start on Anatomy and Psychology 1 for fall quarter . I got other book I am going to read if I can get to them .
dan cash I’m also reading Man’s Search for Meaning! If you like it, I HIGHLY suggest reading The Choice by Dr. Edith Eva Eger. It’s another memoir of psychology mixed with Holocaust experiences. Her writing is beautiful, and the ideas in her book have totally changed my life.
Mans search for me meaning is my best book ever
Awesome summary of each book! Some life changing ideas there. I will definitely start reading some of these! Thanks for sharing 👍
Love is not a feeling, but a verb.👍
Notification squaaaaad
Kookie yayyyy

You should turn them off. Your phone becomes a compulsion rather than a tool.
"The power of your subconscious mind" by joseph murphy
Bro greatful for your content. You always leading me to useful tools i didnt know about. Appreciate it.
you explain every point so well!
So you are saying that you changed your life minimum 6 times trastically ... maybe you need a seventh book to solve this type of problem.
Just kidding, appreciate your work.
Let me tell you about these pool goggles that changed my life tho
life changes every day with every realization - each teaching can change your life to a certain extent - and you continue to grow as you keep learning more - so, life never stops changing, for those who never stops growing
Thomas Frank that's top notch class right there.
We call it life changing to express how deeply this new knowledge has impacted our way of thinking. That is all
Put speed to x1.25
Thank me later
Thank youuuuuuu
1.5 is the basic speed
Thanks, i like your book vids
I'm from Brazil and I'm learning to speak English with your channel. That helped me a lot. thank you
I’m at VidCon and don’t have my laptop, so I don’t have a video suggestion card at the end where I point yet 😛
If you want to watch another video, I recommend this one: ua-cam.com/video/SwY3A92s-xg/v-deo.html
12 Rules for Life: An Antidote to Chaos- Prof. Jordan Peterson Ph.D. University of Toronto, Princeton University.
You're a bad person.
CrunchTime come on dude, he isn't neccesarily a being shitty just just because Jordan Peterson is a terrible person, maybe Sizable is simply unaware of this fact. Or maybe Sizable doesn't care about that because he thinks Petersons book is great anyway.
Meh
CrunchTime why may I ask? Don't tell me it's Patriarchy and White Supremacy and those predictable nonsense again...
How is Jordan Peterson a terrible person? Lmao you guys and your addiction to outrage fueled by leftist propaganda.
The seven habits of highly effective people is amazing! I’ve read it 3 times and it never gets old.
Another books to read for this summer vacation! Thanks, Frank!
I was expecting good literature books, novels or essays or something more spicy!
