Anyone else here already a reader and just watching the video to learn how reading is helping you?
Kelsey Sanderell watching youtube videos about books makes me want to read and helps me read more. Watching other people get excited about books gets me excited about books. I try to read for even a half and hour every day. Some days are better than others.
no because this channel's videos are too long and waste your lifetime
affirmative. reviews of some more books / essays on my channel if interested
Im not a goor reader but im so encourage after watching this video
ME! lol :)
I have about 10,000 books & documents in my library. For almost 40 years, I been studying & reading myriad subject at a rate of 350 days per year. I can't live without books and wherever I go I take at least 1 with me (to the bank, waiting and riding a metro or taxi, to post office lines etc) . KEEP READING !
Lao Mark that’s awesome, do you mostly read fiction or non-fiction? I mostly find myself reading non-fiction, mostly focusing on leadership.
I do like to rea.........d
Lao Mark ..That's great , i like reading and your speak is very motivated for me .
I have more than 1000 book but i hope to own the same number like your.
Hi old guys I have just started reading and now I just torrent cuz of various reasons but will sure credit the writers when I get chance and plan buying books in future and having a collection 👌✌️.
Lao Mark: Awesome would you be interested in a book swap.
We should be instilling a love of reading in our children
Girl I'm a kid and I love books I think parents do try to get there kids to read books but they don't listen also
How do we do that, kid these days always have their mobile phone in their hand
Mohamad Alif probably read to them when they go to sleep . This is probably going to work when they are like 5 lol
Katie Calls It my family did that for me and I’m forever grateful...
Mohamad Alif exactly...dont give your children phones until they’re older
Reading more books will help you change your outlook on life.

IT DOES, it changed my perspective of life

What you mean about that?

"The question is when was the last time you read a book? "
Me:" one minute ago" 😁
Same here 😁
1 week ago😁

Yes, I read a few books a week. Usually several chapters a day at the least. I love reading
Yesterday
For all those who are still wondering, reading the comments on youtube for hours-on-end doesn't really count.
How do you know? Obviously, there are different subject matters, yet, I am often critical of what is being said as well as utilize my cognitive abilities to express my thoughts/points in a sound and clear matter.

EDY ANN: Wow, would you care to book swap.
@@vivveene oh wow.. I hadn't received notifications until yours now! Thanks everyone for agreeing with me. I literally have hundreds of books in my room and I'm old school- I like the PHYSICAL book. I'm not about E books or whatever they're called haha. Right now I'm into reading about the lives of women from Iran. Please read 'Persian Girls.' Oh how I love that book! ♡♡♡
I read somewhere between 30-45 minutes every night before I go to sleep. It’s a wonderful way to destress, learn, and reflect. Even as a minimalist, the one thing I’m not getting rid of is my books.
To people who may not like reading: books are like clothes and movies, there is something for everyone!😊 Also, don't put too much pressure on yourself to read, it should be an enjoyable experience, not a burden!
I struggle to read a book...I tried by starting with reading 10 pages a day but it was a struggle.
Any advice to assist me in continuing to read without feeling like it's a burden?
HEART NMZ Maybe try different genres? Maybe the book you read didn’t interest you🤷♀️
@@heartnmz7385first starts slow.
You don't need to read 10 pages a day. Just take it slow. The key is to be consistent even if you read 1 page a day.
Also choose a book that satisfy your interest. And just enjoy.
@@heartnmz7385 Just keeps reading, Consistency you will improve in time.
Maybe a time goal would more motivating? Like 15 minutes a day? Guarantees progress but it's not too much of an effort.
Reading is extremely valuable I used to hate it. Now I'm trying to tell people to read more😂💪
@i'm only here for the beer there's often a reason if one looks deep enough
I do read every day and I love it more than anything. I never felt home in this word. It was never enough to live only one life.. with books I can live a thousand lives and visit 1000 world's as often as I want to. I will pass this on to my children and I will show them the beauty. ♡
I agree, cannot imagine life without books to read

All of these are true.. Books is my healer during my depression.. Ive never imagine that the power of books is great..
Alhamdulillah!🙂😄
As a child I loved books but I didn't get far because I became discouraged by those who read faster than me. I didn't read through a full book till I was 15. Since then my reading comprehension and speed improved. Now in my 40s I read 10 books a month. My oldest son (17 yo) had been very discouraged that he had difficulty reading because he has Dyslexia, I got him an audible account, he loves that he has this option. Don't let discouragement prevent you from picking up or downloading a good book.
I read every night. It's my favorite thing to do.
Awesome!!
The mark of a high intelligence.
Mine too ❤️
I plan to it seems so nice after you do
I used to be so addicted to playing games and in recent years, on social media. And over time, my mental health just plummeted. I used to read instruction manuals for games while eating breakfast I didn't sit down much and read proper books; except maybe a small one here & then. Just a few weeks ago, I figured 'Screw it' and just sat down and read a book I purchased a few months ago at a convention. Then after that, I got onto reading the Harry Potter books after years of telling myself "I need to sit down and read those as they're different from the films". And I find I'm a whole lot more focused while reading than when I do anything else; even video games don't hold my attention like they used to. So, it feels very refreshing to just sit down, relax and read for a change as my mind is one to struggle with concentration; at least in recent years, it's been difficult. Nearing the end of book four (The Goblet of Fire), and I don't want them to finish, I'm having too much fun with them. But I'll move onto something else soon enough after the final book; I have a decent backlog that have been put aside for years.
Whaou.. i desperatly try but i struggle a lot with concentration it is à True nightmare but deep inside i'd love to read, i think about it every single day but im afraid to struggle each time... any advice mate ??
@@Pablo-ig7tx the advice is read books and over time your concentration will increase and your memory and your love and passion to read more books... i have a similar story of this guy, i used to play video games and smoke weed and i abandonned books until 1 month ago i decided to quit smoking and gaming and start working out and reading books. At the 1st 2 weeks i though about stoping cause i coundlt see any results and my lake of concetration and bad memory put me down but i watched a video about saying that reading books and traing and eating healthy will heal this problem so i kept going... in 2 week later i could see a huge increase in concentration and memory and i can read more and more every time. So that is my advice to you based on my expirence. I wish you a healthy life. And excuse my english. Peace from Morocco.
I love books. I think I am addicted to them! I could read a book a day!
I hope that increases to 2 books a day or more soon enough! Keep reading. ^-^
I used to be like you...
That’s soooo cool!!
Tell me how do you comprehend the material so quickly, I have to read and learn every word before I move on..and that is my handicap..help me.
A Chag , don’t worry, it’s not a handicap or a problem, sometimes when you really love a book and feel close to it you just can’t stop reading and apparently finish it up, never leave reading books okay!😁
I have loved reading since I learned to read. That was seventy years ago! I don’t have any idea of how many books I have read. In one book I read, someone had written inside: “He who loves a book will never lack a friend.” I think that is true. My favorite book is probably “Of Human Bondage” by W. Somerset Maugham, although I like most of his books. “The Painted Veil” is another favorite.
but sadly those who read may lack friends sinxe no one will understand them and it will increase the gap between them and the nonreadinv majority but it isn't a choice -those who love books can't help it
Wow,it's so true reading is where I do find secret of good writing and new thinking

Great choice
Is it the one by Dr Joseph Murphy?
Besides my family, books are my life. I started my children off in life reading to them every night even as babies and now they're college graduates with Masters Degrees and have high-income careers. If anything this country should do, I would say 'Make America Read Again'. Without reading and acquiring knowledge, we are sitting ducks - allowing others to shape our lives, opinions and thoughts. Those with knowledge and think for themselves are invincible. These individualistic thinkers are what governments fear. They prefer the group-think of the masses. And we know, or should know, what happens when group-think occurs. Reading - and imagination - are the keys to understanding yourself and the Universe around you.
Although I have loved reading since elementary school, I never would’ve guessed all the benefits to this simple activity!!! Thank you for opening my eyes and for giving me more reasons to love my favorite past time activity!!! ❤️❤️❤️❤️
I read 1 fiction and 1 non fiction book at a time. I read 2 to 3 books. Just started and has been helping me soo much. Specially with ny anxiety. 😍
I love reading books 💙
I just realized now that I love reading books... I thought reading is boring.. But then,there is so much fun in reading most especially when you want to improve yourself and be the best version of yourself.. Reading helps me alot..
I agree!
Reading improves and strengthens the mind
How so?

Whenever I feel overwhelmed with life I re read the Harry Potter series. It reminds me of happier times in my youth and it’s a great comfort to me and helps me see things in a better way.
I read for 30mnts every day and trust me it's actually beneficial..
Why should I trust you? Just for the record I don't trust you......or anyone.....oh shit I don't even trust myself! What do I do now!?! I CAN'T TRUST ANYONE! THEY'RE OUT TO GET ME!!
I CAN'T EVEN TRUST THESE BOOKS ON MY SHELF MAN, THEY'RE LOOKING AT ME FUNNY. THEY PLOTTIN ON ME DAWG
But like how
@@Kylemathews1 Tf are you rambling about
Reading is sometimes timed when reading books with 125 pages, and huge books with longer detail are the best for me.
😀🙂😅👊🏿
Rock on man 👊
Yeah, you should read Sherlock Holmes next, it's contains 983 pages in total
The last time I read a book was yesterday, I started City Of Bones and finished it yesterday. It was about 480- 500 pages. But the thing is, I rarely even gain anything from reading books, I read books everyday! I remember almost everything in every book I read. I rarely even gain knowledge, usually I just gain it if it is a historical fiction book. I sometimes learn the meaning of some words from time to time. But, usually I just search a word if it is reallllly important. (Titles,etc)

I am a self learner and developer. Hence I am watching this amazing and extremely useful video that is full of many great, reasonable and logical advices. I have started reading books and found them to be very helpful. My family, co-workers and others I interact with, have noticed the positive changes of communicating with them. So Sir...you are 15 times right about the benefits and importance of reading books. Thank you so very much for reinforcing my reading. I am currently reading "How to win friends & influence people" by Dale Carnegie. Its an old book but better than gold. I keep rereading it and each time I learn more from it.
I've always loved reading, but there was a time in my life, that I neglected that passion. However, I have since fallen in love with reading again. Right now, am reading, The Total Money Makeover by, Dave Ramsey. It's a good book.
🤗😍🤩👍🏿
I want to have a whole library which I would call my home. I've always loved reading and writing stories and poetries. I'm willing to be a writer in future! I'm still 18 and going through life but learned a lot via stories and poetries, so I wish to make people find themselves with my writings.
Amazing video!
I listen to audio books at work, and read printed at home, I wanted to say youtube has a ton of free audiobooks, so there is no reason to not get the great information books have to offer!
I love to read books. Anywhere, anytime.
I love books! I’m always telling my sons to read and give books as gifts. Books have enriched every aspect of my life. I’ve learned about many things through stories: Persian carpet making and cuisine, meditation, etc..
Yes, I do. I read a book every week.

How many pages those books? average
+joss almeida 2 to 3 hundreds or less than.
Muhammad Hussain try reading books with more pages .
I love when the world around you starts to melt away, as the world in the book becomes more real.
I read two books a week. Fiction, poetry, science fiction, non fiction. But mostly poetry.

Ahmed Andalous hey!!!!👋👋👋🤗👍🏼
I am such an avid reader. I usually have at least 3 books going at any given time....reading is so important to me, and something that Im truly passionate about. I just can't comprehend the notion that there are people who don't like to read, and therefore never read at all.
I'm reading a new book every week, it's changing my life!
I also like to read new books. It's gives me relief from stress n work. I am from Nepal
Reading books makes me motivated and gives me boost to face the public and life. I am happy coz I have wisdom books - business, philosophy, religion, family and relationship.
I am reading a book and from there i have learnt a lot of new words and my writing skill has improved! !!
This is truly a valuable public service, I've been an avid reader all my life & I'm a retired educator. I wish I had this video to share with my students when I was still teaching but I will share it with others who might appreciate it. By-the-way, when I was a boy growing up, I had a lazy eye that would go in when I played ball and concentrated for too long. Kids would tease/mock me horribly and I always sought refuge in books. As a result, I was reading at the 11th grade, sixth month level when I was in the sixth grade. Thanks so much for this wonderful gift! Oh yeah, and I became a writer which i had dreamed of since I was in the second grade.
I like to read one hour before I go to bed with some essential oils in my diffuser. Super relaxing!
That's a great idea I might do the same
This video has done an excellent job of informing me about the benefits of reading. The benefit of increasing lifespan really intrigued me. The only thing that I believe would make the video more effective is adding more enthusiasm to your voice. It believe it would get the average literary skeptic more exited to begin their new experience. 9 of 10
I am an avid reader. I was watching this just to hear what I have always known and can instantly agree with, because I got all those benefits from my books.
I read 15 - 30 minutes of nonfiction in the mornings before I get up. Then an hour of fiction when I get home from work to unwind. I usually read for a couple of hours a day on the weekends, but something different to what I read during the week. Basically I have at least 3 books on the go.
great!!!
I am a book lover, I read everyday. It's actually help me a lot.
One of the best well made videos I saw on UA-cam, thanks!
Great list, it's kind of ironic as while it's extremely simple I never thought about books improving memory, but completely true.

I started reading and I’m happy seeing myself improving
i had more than 5000 books in my library and I donated 4998 of them to the library. It was hard to let all of them go, but I'm happy that some people are reading them right now, enjoying them and increasing their knowledge. The 2 books I didn't give away were: the first book I ever read (Winnie the Pooh) and the 1st Harry Potter book.
I am a light and slow reader, but the point is I read
Cody Young Same, I agree
same here
I agree. It can take me months to finish a book but eventually I will finish it and that's what counts.

I used to read 3 books a week in middle & high school now I’m 28 and rarely read books. I’m definitely going to change that after watching this video.
I love reading am an only child for my father so I never had much people around to talk to and I just read most of the time and it really increases my knowledge and gives me many advantages in class
I like this channel so much, I am from Brazil. I will go reading more. Thanks a lot!
Books are awesome👌
Reading is my adulthood habit. I don't know exactly why I started to read, but I love to read almost everything, from newspapers to mag, from online articles to books. I read at least 2 books in a month. One is on self improvement and other is ofcourse novel. It's really fun and knowledgeable exercise.
I always find reading a good book, so much better than watching a movie.
I agree all points in this video. When I was a student, I hated to read all kinds of book. I forced myself to read because I had to. The consequence is that my vocabulary and writing skills are poor. I have a difficult time to organize my ideas for both writing and speech. After graduating and starting my career, I start to love to read books because I have a lot of motivation for my advance career. I want to become a manager, so I need to improve my communication skills.
When I was younger I didn't use to reading books, but now I read laterally everyday and it's been a year that I've been reading everyday none stop. I'm so proud of my self because reading actually is so important and it is a great tool for even your future, and I actually regret that I didn't start reading books since I was younger but I always remind my self that's never late and I'm still 16 so I could do whatever I want.
Due to this pandemic, I start reading books. I will now make it a habit.
Inshallah 🙂

Thank you for the video.
Alslamu Alikum.. Thank u for such awesome video.. And i agree with u on many points of what u mentioned there..
I'm not sure if knew this but the 1st verse revealed upon prophet Muhammad peace and blessings upon him and the beginning of his message was "Read"..
It is narrated that When prophet Muhammad peace and blessings upon him was in the cave of Hiraa’. The angel came and said, ‘Read!’ The Messenger of Allaah SAWS (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) said, ‘I am not a reader.’ He said, Then he took hold of me and squeezed me until I could not bear it any more then he released me and said, ‘Read!’ I said, ‘I am not a reader.’ He took hold of me and squeezed me a second time until I could not bear it any more, then he released me and said, ‘Read!’ I said, ‘I am not a reader.’ He took hold of me and squeezed me a third time until I could not bear it any more, then he released me and said,
‘Read! In the Name of your Lord Who has created (all that exists).
He has created man from a clot (a piece of thick coagulated blood).
Read! And your Lord is the Most Generous.
Who has taught (the writing) by the pen.
He has taught man that which he knew not.’
[al-‘Alaq 96:1-5 - interpretation of the meaning]
I am truly inspired to read more.
I read a lot it's so inspiring to my soul' I learn a lot frm the knowledge of others written in books.
Please learn some punctuation.
Thank you so much for this vidoe! I promise you to read books as much as I can, because after listening to all these inspirational information, I don't have any excuses to neglect reading anymore.
I am an avid reader! And I’m addicted to reading, believe it or not. My favorite books are ones like Great Expectations, where the red fern grows, the outsiders (the best book ever!), Too close to breathe, the wizard of oz series, Hitch hikers guide to the galaxy, hey god it’s me margret, jurassic park, and that netflix book about ted bundy. I need to find that one. :)

Reading a book is spiritual food of a mind. Without that we are in hungry of wise ideas and decisions.
