Hey gang, I was a bit experimental in this video trying to expand more on the concepts and worry less about keeping things really tight and concise. What did you think and do you prefer this style? Please share any feedback you have :)
Your videos are getting better every time, perfect ❤
was surprised to hear you say good shit lol
Yes, this is nice - a half-hour discursive video talking around key aspects of a topic is really nice, and allows for reflection as you reinforce the points being made.
I would actually love some unedited content from you, something Hamza-style. Young viewers might now have the attention span for that but I'm sure some people would also find that valuable
I’ve been watching your videos since 2020, when I was searching for effective study techniques during my masters. Because I watch you regularly, your videos something feel repetitive (which is ok, since the messages are important) but I feel like this is the best video since a very long time. Thank you!! I’m excited to read your book soon ☺️🙏
Thanks Ali! So glad my book resonated with you and hope everyone here enjoys it as well 🙏
The man arrived 🫶🔥❤️🎶
This was so good! Amazing book Lewis!
Really enjoyed your podcast with your fiancé, y’all’s vulnerability and openness is what I strive to encompass more myself. Congrats to you both!
😍
It sounds so good! Well done! Will be adding it to my book list
It sounds so good! Well done! Will be adding it to my book list
Great video, I love all this content where creators talk about making money, becoming successful, etc... I am currently doing some dropshipping as a side hustle (started with almost nothing), and it's paying really good last few months. I have north of 10k USD income each month :) Consistency and hard work (with a little bit of winnerzila of course) will always be a good path to success. I am still not making millions and millions but I will be there one day.
10k would be enough for me bro haha, do you recommend I start with Winnerzilla as well?
Hey man how did you get started? Any books / videos you paid attention to to get started?
Ali is all over my recommendations right now. I'm not complaining though. He's the reason why I finally got thr courage to start my own UA-cam channel. His videos now just add another level of inspiration. So... thanks Ali!
My GPA:
Business & Career= 6.0 (Winning)
Relationships= 6.2 (Winning)
Wellness= 3.0 (Rebuilding)
My Meaningful Mission:
I want to help people improve their mental health and therefore live a better, happier life. The problem I’m trying to solve is that people feel like there’s no solution to their mental health struggles. I want to help as many people to see there is a way out and that they can heal. I’m passionate about helping people and it plays to my strengths because I’m an empathetic active listener. I want my legacy to be that when people talked with me they felt heard and supported.
I was definitely impressed by the length of this video - I always love your book summaries because it makes me add a book to my list, and every few minutes or so I was like …. Is he done yet? But not in a bad way - I was so happy to be getting extra information about how you felt about this book in particular! Thanks for the positive vibes in this one!
I really love the longer content. It does feel like a podcast and the way you worked through the exercises with us, significantly helped my understanding and fulfillment from the video. Your videos are really great and I will be implementing your suggestions in hopes of making this the best year of my life ! Thankyou
I really love the long form videos, Ali. Keep them coming. Whatever feels better for you to do will certainly resonate with the right people and that way the flame you've got for producing this wonderfully valuable content doesn't die out, which is great.
Awesome prompts, can't wait to journal about all of this.
you a youtuber?
@@ColleenPatricia2 no, not really. I do some videos for fun from time to time but that's all :) editing isnt fun enough for me to keep consistency
@@RuckyArt ohh really? well i had the same start at you but now am earning, although it isnt done by me, i had an agency monetize it for me
Hello Ali, I always watch your videos to the end! I’m in the 55 to 60 year old bracket. I’ve been following you for over two years now. I thought this was a terrific video because each part of it was interesting, insightful and worth watching. Yes, it was longer than some of your other ones but I didn’t get bored. Good luck with your travels. Thank you.
Really appreciated the longer format, going through the exercises with us and sharing your own experience. Made it feel like a 1 on 1 with a tutor
Before you asked a question at the end, I was thinking of leaving a comment anyway to say that I really enjoyed this extended video. I enjoyed what felt like a slower and more intentional pace and how you shared so much of your own experience doing these exercises.
This has to be one of my favourite of your videos ☺️
Thank you also for bringing my attention to this book. The exercises you highlighted were all super thought provoking. For the GPA, I got 6, 5 and 3.8 so there is some work to do for sure.
Brilliant video!
I really liked the new video format. I'd especially appreciate a mix between longer and shorter/condensed videos. Thank you so much Ali and keep on going! I've been following your UA-cam Journey for quite some years now and there has always been something new I've learned, thank you!
I loved this form it's really enriching... Much more gems in it
And I also love how vulnerable and honest you are about yourself it shows that you also are in constant progress in your life. Anyway keep up the good work and thank you for your insights 😊
Thank you so much! The GPA score got me really scratching my head about few things in my relationship and wealthiness. Longer videos feel a bit more personal and conversation-like (in a really good way) rather than short, more condensed ones. I’ve started the ideal week planning with the annual calendar and it’s a game changer! Thanks again❤❤❤
I really appreciate your honesty and humility in showing the areas you are working on & your obituary was more helpful than i thought it would be for me. I want to do this exercise with my husband so we can succeed together. Thank you!
I am reading your book right now, and did the Wheel of life evalutation at your suggestion around the new year. It helped me see that I need goals and strategies in the areas of relationships and health. Workwise I'm doing better, which is how I connected with your work. I became a nurse at 53, and now, at 57, I am almost done with my Masters in eldercare and I intend to become a specialist with the mindset of an entrepreneur, showing my work (yes, I read all of Austin Kleon's work too, when they came out) and working with different projects to improve how we ease the end of life for our patients. Which is a real calling for me, one I found after years of being a disgruntled systems analyst trying to write a novel.... I am inspired by all your videos, but also every time a bit sad that you don't find medicine as fulfilling; I would love to work with a doctor like you! 🥰
Hi Ali! I think this version is a great compliment to the other book videos. For some books, it is convenient with simple highlights. But this version urged me to actually do the work. Not just listen and move on to the next part of my life. So now I have my GPA as a basis for reviewing my goals this year, and I have also started to dig deeper into my meaningful mission.
This felt like doing the homework together with a like-minded friend that you don’t know 😊🎉
I loved the format! The more specific sessions explaining the exercises were super helpful. Also, it was more spontaneous and we were able to see how much the book resonated with you. Many thanks, Ali!
Glad to see the notification. Am here watching. Thank you Ali for sharing this great topic, steps to unlocking our full potential! 🧡🌟
I like how you can break down difficult concepts and make them easier to understand. I enjoyed doing an exercise from one of your videos. The exercise was called the wheel of life.
Hey Ali, I absolutely ❤ long videos. As a person who thinks so much everyday, having these prompts and activities helps to consider what’s important in life and to ground myself.
Please do more they are so fun and helpful!
Hey ali, you have really changed my life for the best in many ways, from studying, to knowing what missions to take all the way up to relationships and becoming a better human. Really liked this video, instigated me to rethink some things that i wasn’t paying as much attention as i should. 26 min that flew by. Longer videos that feel more intimate and feel like a conversation are always a win.
This is my favorite video from you among all your videos that I've watched throughout the years. There are so many insights and takeaways from this clip. My favorite takeaway might be "career, relationship, and wellness GPA" and also figuring out my meaningful mission. Thank you, Ali, for all the hard work that you've poured into this video. I genuinely think you're a great teacher when it comes to elaborating on difficult concepts and helping others. Your'e amazing and it really makes me want to buy the book to learn more about the life-changing concepts and ideas. Have a great day, Ali, you rock :)
It was a super amazing video, got me very emotional when u read your obituary, kudos to the self esteem and the confidence you have in yourself, Thanks for always being a positive light in our lives and making us push ourselves to be the best version ❤
Hey Ali the thing I liked about this video is that, the quality of life is directly related to the quality of questions one asks. I completely agree.
I love the longer version of book reviews Ali. I can feel your soul as you speak more when you share the insights of your mind, which really resonates well with me. Thank you Ali ❤
Thank you for your video. I have watched your video since uni and now I’m at the workforce. Your videos have been helpful throughout the years. I personally think the topics - happiness , to find your full potential, fulfilment and goal settings can mean listening to our inner voice and act on it. I found your videos particularly useful as they bring consistent information around the topic from different angles. For me as a young adult, I often feel tempted to fall into the same loop of going back to a comfortable and boring position. But watching you video really helps me as a reminder to listen and act align with my core value. I also believe doing so will get us further in our career and fulfilment. Keep going !
I’m going to check out this book!!
My scores were:
Business/Career: 5.2
Relationships: 7.4
Wellness: 9.6
25:02 Hello Ali!! I'm changing my life now, thank you for inspiring me with this video! I like this concept on being more detailed about a book, longer videos about the book is much worth watching for me. Keep this experiment up! It worked. I love it that you expand it even more to see each detail what the book is really talking about:)
Hey Ali, thank you so much for creating such an insightful video! Your in-depth book explanations are really helpful. Please continue making these long and detailed videos, they make understanding complex concepts so much easier. Looking forward to the next one!
I thoroughly enjoy the extended content. It gives off a podcast-like vibe, and your guidance through exercises has significantly enhanced my comprehension and satisfaction with the video. Your content is excellent, and I plan to apply your suggestions to make this year the best of my life. Thank you!
Personally, this is the only video which I watched all the way from the start to the end without even looking at the progress bar. Absolutely loved the way you did it Ali. I would love to see more book summaries in the same style.
Ali's approach to productivity is amazing. I bought his book. It reminded me of his advice to stand out on UA-cam. While generic, he implements it in his businesses, emphasizing enjoying every step. In the self-help niche, where discipline and hard work dominate, Ali stands out, showcasing that enjoying yourself leads to effortless productivity.
Really good review. You convinced me to buy a copy. 😊📚
are you a youtuber?
I have been watching your videos for 3 years now you seem to always give me insights on how to lead my own life rather than feeling lost this video made me start journaling and start taking the lead of my own life starting my journey to unlock so many questions so yeah that's my intake of this video it helped me honestly and gave me insight about my life thank you Ali seriously for all of your efforts on these videos it truly mean something to me and iam pretty sure to Alot of people ❤️
I enjoyed the change. I like how in-depth you were about each book and the fact that you shared your own thoughts and experiences. I see how well you connect with books like this and see you enjoy it, which makes for a fun watch.
I also just love doing journal prompts and writing my thoughts down so thank you for the questions afterward.
Overall 100%
To everyone reading this: Remember, challenges are stepping stones to strength, and every step forward is a victory. You're capable, resilient, and deserving of happiness. Embrace the journey, and let hope be your guiding light. 💪✨
I like this format a lot. It felt similar to your 2024 video where you walked people through the wheel of life (myself included). I don’t think you have to apply the format to all book reviews forever, but use the video format as part of your content toolkit…apply it to the things that you see fit. Personally, I get more involved in this style and I have shared your 2024 video with others who don’t know you…and now they do!
Hi Ali,
I'm one of your silent fans and never commented before. But I really want to appreciate your videos because they are factual, informative, and inspire me to exercise my goals, my relationships and my well-being. This is why I can't just listen for fun on my way to work or while knitting, I literally have to prepare a work document or have my book and pen ready to take notes while listening your videos. Your content really makes me put in the effort and helps me learn more about myself and my goal. Thanks a lot.
I love when you shared that one of the questions you caught yourself asking recently is "How can I get them to like me?" - it feels very relatable and I appreciate the vulnerability, because I catch myself doing that too. I also liked that you shared what your personal mission is, cus it really makes me understand why you create the content that you create. I love all of your videos and have watched you for many years but this was the first one I felt called to comment on. Please make more videos like this where you share more of your personal thoughts, as much as you're comfortable with. ❤
My scores were:
- Business/Career 6.6
- Relationships: 5.2
- Wellness: 4.2
I preferred the longer format and really appreciate the effort you put into helping others. After going through these exercises, I'll definitely be coming up with some more long term plans to improve the three domains of my life. First step is wellness, which coincidentally lines up with some goals that I've decided on recently. Thanks!
The longer video helps serve the viewer with a more in-depth summary of the book and your thoughts, love it!
This longer video format is reeeally good. I like it even better than the short fast ones. It feels like I'm reading a book or listening to a podcast.
Also, this video took me like an hour to finish becaus I keep going back to think about answers for all of the questions, such a good and filled-with-knowladge video, love it :)
I barely add any videos to my "Favourites" playlist, I had to add this one though.
Hey Ali! I absolutely LOVED this style! I could listen to your voice for ever. I put my AirPods in and listen to you when I need motivation to tidy my house and put tidy ‘systems’ in place. The essential thing you provide is hope. And that is what is missing when I look around at an untidy house and lack the motivation to tidy: we feel hopeless. This longer style video was great to accompany me long enough to get one room sorted 🤣 loved the mellow relaxing music too. Remember long videos talking about productivity helps people while they are trying to do productive things (tidying/sorting/planning etc)
Love the long form vid, specifically because it is more podcast-like and I can fill more mundane tasks with education (“how can I make this fun?” 😉). What stood out to me most in this one is that so much advice is the same, it’s just packaged differently and that’s a GOOD thing; everyone speaks a different “language”, despite the fact that they’re speaking the same language, if you get my drift. Big life lessons like these need to come in different forms to be understood by different brains. Exercises can have the same essential objective, but have more or less of an effect depending on who does them.
I guess that can also contribute to us getting a bit obsessed with productivity/success content, too, though, because consuming it makes us feel productive/successful (essentially “fake” productivity/success), which, in turn, causes us to pay less attention to what’s being said, so we don’t actually recognise that the same essential messages are being sent. It goes over our head because we like the short term pleasure of feeling sophisticated over the long term gain of actually doing the work (calling myself out here, too!). Aaaaanyway, thanks for the content, I promise I’ll act on it 😁
I cried after watching & listening attentively 🎧 to this video.
I am everyday grateful for your intense concern on my growth.
Thank you for the so much wisdom inserted here.
I was excited and was so surprised as real as you Scores were...
Thank You Ali Abdaal.
I know someday I will meet you in person... Someday Soon 🎉🎉🎉🎉
Thank You Ali Abdaal
This was heart-felt, genuine, intelligent, and not at all too long...it took me 4 sit-downs to get to the end as I have a two year old climbing all over me and had to stop to play with him, change diapers, naptime, lunch and so on...but I got to the end :) Your obituary made me cry. Keep up the wonderful work! I do look forward to your life chapter of having small kids and how that will influence (for the positive) new videos! Your beautiful home in the background will get some colorful upgrades with crayons and markers on the walls :) You will be a wonderful dad one day!
I think this is one of your best videos or at least the best book review , the way you were honest and thoughtful of everything you said. Everything you said you meant it and were not afraid of it , it didn’t seem formulaic or written to avoid judgement people , you were truly portraying yourself. Great one. The length depends on you it’s your art. If you think it should be 5 mins long let it be and if it’s 50 that’s good too. Do it the way that makes you enjoy the process. I personally gained a lot of value so this 26 minutes was worth my time and wouldn’t have minded if it was longer.
Definitely reading this book
My scores were:
Business/Career: 7
Relationships: 5.9
Wellness: 10 (never skipping gym 💪)
wow thats nice, you a youtuber?
@@ColleenPatricia2 I just make slowed songs which i like that's it 💜

Hi Ali, a few days ago I decided to take a step (after a year and a half of just thinking about it) and start my journey as a guide for moms that are struggling with achieving balance in their life. I do not have any followers anywhere, at this point I am just an another mom on social media, but as I decided that my purpose and my Why is bigger than when and how, I feel free of fear and ready to do what my heart sings for. And now, as I stumbled upon this video, you gave me a greater understanding and perspective and idea about steps that I can take next. Thank you for your time and outlook 😊
Love this Ali. Loved how you took the practical exercises from the book so viewers have immediate application and value, then decide if they want to look into Lewis' work further. Length was fine - I 2x playback speed and pause whilst doing the exercises. Fantastic video :)
I will do one push-up and read one page of a book for every one like this comment gets.
00:01 The book 'The Greatness Mindset' by Lewis House focuses on discovering unique gifts and talents.
01:40 This book encourages self-reflection for defining success and provides a solid framework for achieving it.
04:50 Importance of healthy relationships
06:35 Realization of the need to focus on health and wellness
09:31 Having a meaningful mission is crucial for success.
11:16 Discovering your meaningful mission and direction in life.
14:20 Discovering a meaningful mission can lead to a fulfilling life.
15:46 Writing your own obituary helps define your North Star
18:48 Figuring out what you actually want is crucial for success and happiness.
20:10 Focus on serving others to unlock full potential
23:06 Consistency and commitment lead to unlocking potential

thankyou
thank you Merlin
Golly😂
please do more topics like this. this is the best video ever. there's so much value here. so much stuff resonated with me. i'm definitely reading that book and i can't wait. thank you for sharing this, ali.
At the end of the video...
I appreciate you sharing your exercises and what resonates with you and why.
Comment on the length of the video as requested: I am on the treadmill right now and thanks to the length I have just burned a few more calories 😅. So please keep going so I can continue my I-am-going-to-pull-through-until-the-end-of-this-video-STRATEGY 💪
I will run a mile for every like this comment gets. Seriously
Ali, I loved this video and will definitely keep coming back to it. It felt like having a soul to soul conversation with a friend and I almost teared up at multiple points in the video. Absolutely love what you're doing Ali, you're my inspiration.
I heard of this book and I’m glad you’re talking about it, will definitely have to read it and apply it to my own self improvement!
I will do one push up for every like this comment gets.
Do it regardless. I won't like
I hope you get a million. 😂😂😂
I liked a 100 times
🤡🤡
Why?
I’ve watched this twice now and have found it to be instrumental in my goal-forming process. Thank you for breaking those down so concisely! I do enjoy that it was longer and that you shared your work, as well. That was encouraging and inspiring for me, as I struggle with defining my goals, too. And also, thank you for advertising Brilliant on your videos. I’d been searching for a platform to refresh my STEM knowledge and it has worked out perfectly. You advertise quality content that you personally believe in, and I find that refreshing in the world of trying to make a living on UA-cam. Thank you for what you do!
It got me thinking that I need to read some self development books and Lewis Howes looks like a good place to start! Thank you, I appreciate the sincerity you convey in your vlogs in your mission being to help others achieve the life they want. I enjoyed this format and paid more attention that I would normally because of the points and exercises given and the thoughts it provoked.
Hey Ali, I've been watching your videos for sometime now. What started off as wishful thinking as I watched your videos while cleaning has now turned into thoughtful insights, that have unlocked trains of thought I never imagined. I am currently a college student, figuring out who I am and what I wanna do, but I know I want to make a huge, positive impact on the world. I usually don't comment, but I am incredibly grateful for your contribution to my growth. I hope you see my name someday on a big screen.
Great video Ali! ^^
I really liked this long video. It's obvious that you really found the book useful and you broke it down into simple, chunks. I kept pausing to take notes and answer the prompts, so took much longer to get through, but it's so useful! I like the shorter, concise videos too though as sometimes we just want something quick to watch. perhaps you could have a mix of the two? Make longer videos for the books you rate really highly or think the points deserve more time, then shorter ones for others... or maybe make some UA-cam shorts from the points made for the short form fans. You could make a short for each section of this video.
I genuinely enjoy your insight, so I would be in support of more long form content. I listen while I work and jot notes as I get inspired. I’m currently reading your book and have added countless others (that you have reviewed) to my cart for when I’m finished. I’ve also suggested your book to some friends and colleagues because I admire your approach so much. Thank you for this and I hope you get the feedback you wanted.
This was truly great ❤ As someone who have followed you for a long time and being motivated by you, but many times i would be stuck on how to even begin my self discovery journey. Happy to say,this is it! I connected with it a lot and it was super clear and loud and felt a personal connection to you too. Thankyou❤
Keep doing what you’re doing, Ali! I really enjoy the longer dive into your book summaries. I always look forward to them when I see your weekly videos. They always leave my thinking, which is a good thing!!
I love the longer format videos! I was actually taking notes of all the questions, I saved them in my digital journal, and I messaged them to my partner (who was not here) so that he can do these exercises as well. I also loved that you showed quotes from the book, I'd probably take notes of some quotes as well in future videos. Thank you!
I like the longer format of this video, it felt like sitting down with a friend talking about this book they read, whilst not loosing the beloved productivity based structure of your videos to pass on the key messages^^ would love to see more content with this calming vibe
have been following you for the past year every single week i think for now the best video of yours that i have seen
One of my most favorite videos you’ve put out, Ali! Really enjoying the book thus far! Listening on Spotify over the past few days but I’ll definitely have to pick up the hard copy sooner than later. So many gems!
I LOVED this video and the longer format! I kept pausing it to try the exercices myself and I actually discovered something new about how I want the trajectory of my career to go. I found this to be incredibly insightful and helpful!
I love these longer videos more. Actually, this is not even long for me. My attention span is REALLY long when what I'm watching is worth my time and your videos always qualify. I watched your 3-hour-long video in one setting and not even a second felt bored. THANK YOU for this amazing content.
Oh and abt my GPAs:
for business: 7.6
for relationships: 8
for wellness: 5.6 >> I got such a low score for my physical health. But full scores for mental health. So, my mission for this year is to get myself to exercise and eat healthy foods of a wider variety since I already always choose nutrition quite mindfully.
Hi Ali, I just wanted to say that your conceptual framework to create ideas and effectively present them through your UA-cam channels has positively impacted my life through helping me in various business context life lessons. I am a student studying public health currently and I am integrating your lessons in any way I can through various forms since you started. I also admire your consistency to help others. I personally think helping others gives oneself joy, and I most definitely see that in you. You have helped me a lot, and I have tons of notes based off your videos. God bless you Ali!
I was watching this video in morning.(great way to start a day😅)But for some reason I had to go off and at night I was thinking bout my day and thought pop up that this video was incomplete. I instantly came on yt and finished it. LOVED the whole video❤ And your farewell written was genuinely great and I truly hope it will be more better than what you've imagined Thanks a lot
the feelgood farewell, this resonates with me so much '...he knew his work could be heavy, but he approaches it with lightness and ease...' that's really the ideal state I have been looking for
Thanks so much ali! Your book club really helps me out in my youtube journey! We'll all make it to our goal!
"Grasp your mission securely but hold the mechanism loosely" is such an amazing quote. I do have a clear, meaningful mission, but once I set a "perfect" direction for myself to work towards the goal I find it very difficult to have to deviate from it. I needed everything to be perfectly aligned with my plan, but really, reality doesn't work like that. There will be uncertainties and unpredictables, and not everything is within my control. This quote serves as a great reminder that as long as you have a clear, meaningful mission, you'll get there eventually, there's no need to frantic. Love it :)
You simply have the best book recommendations. I was never disappointed by picking up a book from your suggestions
I was doing a maintenance task while listening to it.
I really like the book brief by going through the best lessons in your personal perspective, I feel I could take way more information than the overall brief that normally people do and I still think like reading it, since it will bring foundation for my current goal right now.
Thank you Ali, I really love this format. This longer style of videos feels like a genuine conversation, i love it. And feel like the topics are really well covered, I recently got into your channel and I love it so much, thank you! Please keep providing us with more videos.
Ali the long form video is great because you’re also partially giving us a glimpse into how you apply the concept personally to your context and highlight greater details of why that section was great for you! Thank you for doing what you do and serving us so well :))))
I am following you for years, when you were still in med school. This Video reminds me of those days, because it felt very authentic again. Your honesty showed that you are still a normal guy and it really connected with me and gave me hope that I can change my life, too.
I love your book summary videos.. It helps to think more deeply and focus on where i am going wrong and what to improve on
I loved the longer video and love to hear more of what you are thinking, taking away, applying. Your insight is valuable to me!
I have watch so many of your videos and this has been one of my favourites! Thanks for all the work you do!
Thanks Ali, I think the format is great, love when you give advice but mix it with your personal experience, the honesty of the video, it feels really good and deep. Length is actually perfect. When a video is too long I put it in hold for later so this made me watch it as soon as I saw it. Very practical advise . Thanks again
I just finished the full video. your editor did a great job at cutting it so it seems concise! couldn’t tell!!
I really love the long form video and I loved to answer questionnaire with you , it’s kinda interactive and I like that ! Thank you !
Hey Ali! I was scared of the length first, but loved this video. Often paused to take pictures of the questions and quotes. Also did the GPA, which made me realize once more that I should take care of my body and should start exercising regularly. Soon i'm gonna write a new entry into my journey and ask myself a lot of the questions at hand. I really appreciate your work!
I thoroughly enjoyed the fact that this type of video was longer than usual. It's nice to get a deeper look at a book; as a big fan of the podcast, naturally I find myself enjoying the longer content. I do find this gives me more of an idea of whether I would enjoy reading the book myself as well as more detail on the actionable parts of the book. The shorter type content might suit other platforms in the type of content you've been posting more lately. Love your work.
Loved this! Firstly 4.4, 7.8 and 6.6 on the gpa thing.Yes definitely would like to watch more videos like this. Of course I watched till the end. Also I'd like to mention that I appreciate the camera confidence that you've developed. I recently tried talking to the camera and it looks so awkward, I can only imagine how much of a journey it has been for you to get to where you are since you have mentioned that you also struggled a bit with talking to the camera when you first started out. The bumblers and pointers analogy was fantastic and inspired me a lot. Thanks man!
I enjoyed the video, specifically the journalling prompts. Happy New Year! 🎉
Hi Ali, thanks for this amazing video. I am huge fan of this longer versions as well as of the summaries you do (these btw in a very nice design and layout). So please continue with that kind of format!
My pre ordered book from you will arrive 20th of January (Germany). So looking forward to the delivery. Take care
This is like hanging out with a friend a listening to his passion, u make my study break filled with inspiration
The long videos are great! I can truly become engrossed into the content and engage with it. I spent about an hour and a bit writing my responses to all of the questions and now I‘m about to create a summary to hang on my wall. It truly felt like a conversation where I was taking action to improve my life with a friend. Thank you very much.
Watched to the end! Great video, loved the chill vibe and all the tips from the book, thanks! Although I’m biased and a fan of longer videos and podcasts etc.
I love both styles of videos -- the short, quick ones that get straight to the point, and this longer, more in-depth version. I think this style of video is more fitting with the name of "Deep Dive". Maybe you can alternate styles or just pick the one you think is more appropriate. Like with this book, there were tons of takeaways and prompts that allowed for a really in-depth exploration, but maybe another book doesn't have that depth but is still worth talking about on your channel!
Love the length! I can see you really enjoyed the book and everything you shared is very helpful to me. I'll definetly check out this book!
I love this new format - it's authentic and gives me a direction on how to approach and internalise the book. For example, I am very moved by your obituary, and it gives me an inspiration to write mine. I am a fan of Lewis Howes but when I first read his book, I was like, gosh, how am I going to draft my obituary? Reading those obituaries on New Nork Times featuring famous people is no help.
In brief, I appreciate the way you highlight your key takeaways from the book and your own reflections. Therefore, the length of the video is less a concern - as long as it's authentic, which is totally the case here.
Thank you for this video!
Thank you! I am trying to figure out what book I want to read next and your review really helps!
