Brother nice video... U are doing great. If u want that INDIAN people to follow you. Make a video on tseries vs PewDiePie
Do you make notes while reading a book?
Can you please make a counciling video for start reading books
What do you think about an app like StoryShots? www.getstoryshots.com?
As a daily reader, I approve of this video. I started out small, and now read around 100 pages a day. In the past, reading was boring to me, now I can’t wait until it’s that time of the day to read!
try to read when you have 20 times more testosterone than the average guy. girls can sit easily... cause no hormones ask them to go hunt for a female. tell me how much you read on your ovulation day, boys don't have that.. they have it every day. it's in our DNA
Teach me pls 😭 I struggle school In very lazy with readying
Marc G boi wtf?

2. Read before internet dopamine fix.
3. Habit bunching, read with your morning coffee.
4. Try audiobooks. (Even while working out... habit bunching).

"It's Like Binge Eating Skittles Before Drinking A Fine Wine" = Dynamite Line!

@AncientAstronautTheorist I'm six months late but I'll answer anyway. After eating skittles, you'll hate the taste of wine, thus preventing you from drinking it and getting drunk.

Exactly 🙂
I just realized I just spend 10 minutes read the comments instead of accually read a book 🤣

Thats what's crazy!
Ahahaha that counts as reading
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Hahahahaaa
Thank you very much! a little and useful summary for anyone
1.Don't overachieve -> one page a day and then another one, and another one.....
2. Read before going to the internet
3. Bunch your habits -> think strategically how you can add books to your daily activity
4. Try audiobooks
5. Change your attitude
Hi mom!
tip number 6: stay away from summaries and people who actually try to give them. Each person should experience themselves by spending their own time in order to achieve something for their lives.
Your mom isn't proud
@@miracozkurt9002 Huh. Never thought about that. Could you elaborate more? Really genuinely interested

Does anyone know the song that starts somewhere in 13 seconds of the vid, it sounds beautiful and I can’t find it?
I used to hate reading but I found that if you start with smaller books (100 page ish books) and slowly work bigger it kinda gets easier. Also, if you are like me and can't sit still for 2 minutes to read a page or accidentally fall asleep when reading anything, that's okay. Just keep trying again and again and again and again. You'll slowly build your focus and even if you don't at least you'll get the much needed sleep you need :)
In college I'd read while walking on the treadmill slowly (getting PE credit lol), or on the stationary bike :) somehow it helped me feel I was multitasking and focusing all the while
You are a great presenter, casual with no overcompensation, yet still charismatic. Very easy to watch, well done.
I HATE READING THE MOST MY WHOLE LIFE BUT I NEED TO DO IT SO I CAN SAVE MY FUTURE SELF...
TO BECOME MORE SMARTER & LEARN MORE THINGS ABOUT LIFE...ITS LIKE A "CHARACTER DEVELOPMENT" FOR ME...
I'LL START WITH ''THE PARABLES"🙏🏻😇🤗🙏🏻
THANKS FOR POSTING THIS KIND OF VIDS MAN...GODBLESS YOU🙏🏻💪🏻
Nice tips 👍 I specially like the idea of habit bunching and dedicating myself to reading one page a day!

One thing that helped(s) me with wanting to read, a tip from a non-reader I know 😂, is to read books that movies were based off of. I had watched The Hitchhiker Guide To the Galaxy, with Martin Freeman in it, and, sometime around I decided to listen to an audiobook of it from a great youtube channel called Now Read This. His voice definitely fits the writing style perfectly and the characters come to life from his narration. I really enjoyed that book!
I like how I can watch a UA-cam video about how to read when I hate reading.
Thank you for posting this! My issue is not that I don't like reading but rather that I can't concentrate and retain the information. This makes me overwhelmed before I even start reading. I start reading and all of a sudden, I'm thinking about the clothes I left in the dryer. This even happens with audiobooks.
Wow this is way better than all the advices that I've been getting concerning starting a reading habit. Thank you so much
*Omg I searched keyword How to get motivated to read book, guess what your video came on top search result. I can’t focus reading book, but I force myself to read and I bought 4 book now. Thank you so much your tips, I will read one page a day every day. Thank you so much again. And I will my post my results here.*
I had a book for three weeks tried to read every day
I got to page 2
@シ【XSMX】 page 6.5
lmao same, that's why reading 1page a day is a great and effective idea. It seems like uneffictive, but it keeps you going, builds your new habit and once you have the momentum you will want to read more anyway
I would read if I was home alone like i would read an actual book that I've only been able to get to page 15 bc I have to take care of my siblings and I don't like people looking at me while reading ;-;
So I just read a on this app called webtoon an this other one called wattpad
Lol
That’s just me with Manga books, I can get through some pages but then after that I just start zoning out lol
Best caption ever. It's also the first time I have liked and commented on a video before watching it. I hate reading but I want to be smarter and extend my knowledge, which is why I am here.
When I read my brain just suddenly decides to remember that thing that happened in the past that I don't wanna remember
ua-cam.com/video/TCSUKIhjevo/v-deo.html
Lmao
That's true
As a person who struggles with focus even with books with subjects im into, heres a tip: Reread. When I have trouble comprehending a long drawn out sentence or paragraph, I read it multiple times and ways. Sometimes with and then without parathesis. Reread till you perceive.
When you have an assignment due in two days and you have to read a book but the first option is to read one page a day 💀

Love tip number 3, actually I also discuss it in my latest video. Also, I actually stopped reading and only listen to audio books. It's great way to compensate for a busy traveler's schedule and I can do it "on the go" even while driving. Thanks for the tips and keep up the good quality!
Extremely helpful video! Thank you! I don’t hate reading but what I hate is all of my failed attempts at holding my attention long enough to read and stay there reading. I love the small goal and bunching, I believe this will help me to get back into the swing of reading. Thanks again!
Holy shit that intro is so me. I find all these books that I want to read, but when I come to sit down- I can barely keep focus and follow through. It's taken me around 2 weeks to read 100 pages due to the lack of consistency. Then i end up feeling bad thinking that I'm just not cut out. I see people that can get lost in books and read lots and I'm just so envious of that, I really want to get to that stage.
It's not all sunshine. Most people who read a lot get glasses rather sooner than later. Those who don't, have better eyesight for a longer time. Eyes are not made for reading lots of information. Also, most people who "read a lot" read low level literature, keep that in mind.

I’m a high school student who hates reading, we have to read a bunch of novels in English and I literally just go on websites to find the summary. at some point I can’t keep doing this so now I’m here 💀

I finally see it. I see why people love reading. More you read more you get into that zone. When you're into that zone it's like the current world doesn't exist and you're in a setting of that book. That's the stage daily book readers reach.
yeah. I read and my brain auto deletes every sound around me...its pretty great, actually
I hate reading, but I wanna love it. I get envious seeing people who love reading
i made it a habit more than 4 years ago of at least reading a couple of pages each in English, French , German , Maltese and the bible. it is really enjoyable if you do it in a relaxed way as a workout without stress, without haste, without over emphasizing on vocabulary searching . it helps me calm down. last year i finished reading 3 novels in French, 1 in Italian, 1 in German and a couple of books in english and maltese , just by being consistent in reading a few pages from each language a day. do not waste too much time on vocabulary searching , you will meet words you do not understand the more you read.
I found that reading a very simple, easy to read book helps because you don't need to focus that hard. It helps you learn to enjoy reading because you find it easier to follow and pay attention. Then move on to more complex books.
Great tips and overall content! You've got yourself a new subscriber, mister.
Thanks so much! Really appreciate the support! Welcome to the family.
i love this video! i usually read a LOT but the past six months or so i haven’t had the motivation to even pick up a book...
I like reading but struggle to stay motivated to finish a book so ill read like twenty pages then give up and start a new book.
Saaammmeee I have like four manga books I haven’t finished and I just got a new book that I started to try to read the other day hahaha
get one book at a time
3:00 You had me at "that's dumb." XD
I read like a maniac for more than a dozen years than I stopped.
Now I can’t put my mind into reading a whole page.
These tips look interesting and easily applicable. Thank you.
Why did you stop ?
Thanks for this important discussion of how to include reading in your life in a realistic way
Me: Had book a book addiction
Also me: Watches video to give friends reading addictions too
I'm catching you on UA-cam. And I love the tip - read early b4 you get saturated electronically.
Thank you for this video! You just described my reluctance towards reading. I'll try these tips from now on.
Glad you enjoyed!
I'm doing a communication course at University and I find it hard to pick up a book and enjoy. So, tonight I was looking for some motivation and I discovered this. You're the best, thank you.
Great advice!! Thanks for sharing!
Thanks for watching!
Im in my 50s and wanting to read has always been very hard for myself cause i always fall asleep 5 minutes in. Your tips i will try and audio books sound great. Will definitely try that when i go for walks instead of listening to music. Thanks for sound advice thats easy to incorporate into my everyday habits. So glad i found you.

Look how many he has now 😍
Nice work, dude! I'm a middle school reading teacher. My kiddos will love your youthful perspective and practical techniques.
Something else to include:
The most important tip I ever got to becoming a better reader.... was literally to just sit down and FORCE yourself to read. And to do this for HOURS upon DAYS. To do this without speeding through it and just trying your best to comprehend it, even if you're SUPER SUPER SUPER ADHD and cannot concentrate or focus at all. Eventually you will get to this weird point, in my experience, where you understand it, and then suddenly you enjoy reading? It's strange.
One of the obstacles for me to focus on the video is the beauty of the presenter
Last tip: "Oh I don't hate reading! I'ma just give it a try!"
*Picks up book, reads into it before putting it down 5 minutes later*
"I love reading!" -_-

LOVE this video!!! Finally I feel I belong in the world of reading. Huge thanks!
Talks about reading before being on the internet. As im watching this before reading 🤦♂️
ua-cam.com/video/TCSUKIhjevo/v-deo.html
Read first and foremost for fun is my best tip. I read a lot of personal development books too but if I’m in a reading slump picking up a fantasy, sci fi or smutty romance novel usually kicks my brain back into gear and makes me fall back in love with the process of reading. If I’m just reading books on how to be a more productive human all the time it gets really dull
Book burnt by coffee pot. Thanks alot
Lol!
I dont think he said to put it in the pot.........😶
It’s not going to burn through the book, because it’s covered in plastic 🙄
ua-cam.com/video/TCSUKIhjevo/v-deo.html
Lmaoooooo
Read before the internet is the best advice ever ! First thing in the morning do not go on emails, read.
What if I took too long to read a book?
Mind blowing idea! Add reading to drinking coffee in the morning.. I never thought of that. Considering I get up at 5:30-6:00 and sit on the computer for an hour and a half... I could change that I guess.
I have to read a book for school, and when we were half way through the book and we had a test on it, I realized I wasnt focused the whole time and I didn’t know anything about the book. I got a 20 percent on the test and now I have a C in English, I have always hated reading and I can never focus. I hope this helps 🤞🏼🥺
I initially thought that this video might teach techniques about how to read & analyse a book for maximum enjoyment. It doesn't.
Instead, it provides excellent advice for anyone who decides to take on a regular self-improvement task which they haven't been doing before (such as reading a book, dieting, exercising etc.).
So many of us start such activities with an abundance of enthusiasm and good intentions, only to give up for one reason or another.
This video explains that a fundamental thing you need to do is build a new habit, and it shows you how. You build the new habit, and eventually, the habit drives you.
“Looking and understanding paper” watch out there bud. Words.

Faith Cook are you dyslexic
@@iminh_x1705 idk. I have ADHD tho.
Lol
I would honestly like to know more about you, faith. Your story sounds interesting.
I had some learning problems too in high-school People had to repeat themselves cause I couldn't understand what they were saying. But hey its never too late to learn anything. It's hard but you have to push yourself. I thought I would never finish high-school and even many thought as well but I pushed through it, analysed every single word even searched the meaning up in the Internet. By the end of 2019 I graduated and passed all my subjects with b's and A's. Don't worry kiddo you'll get there, just take ur time reading. Even have people next to you to help its no biggie and it's worth it. don't worry about what the other kids ethier say cause there not gonna help. I use to got teased alot for having a assistant teacher around with me even when I was in the final year of school, but I still kept my head down and worked hard. I even made friends with those teachers that helped and gave me alot life tips and advises. Now I'm reading my 30th book julius ceasers commentary on the gallic wars. Pretty wierd how I got here but I'm proud of what I did to reach this. Its all about ur mindset, just got to be positive all the time, if you doubt alot don't because doubt kills.
Same here! I was not really fond of reading books, but now I’m slowly getting into the habit of doing so.
Thank you u helped me so much
Glad I could help!
Nice to learn about "habit bunching". Good one...looking to implement.
I think this video is made for me
thank you. awesome tips. they're deeper than they seem. lots of relevance between dopamine and goal achieving mechanism, linking neurons, building stronger habits, eliminating procrastination etc. keep up the good work. subbed!.
Awesome video you are very good at making videos and have great Information. Thanks.
DACHAGS GO thanks a lot! Appreciate your comment
I would love to read a book a week... growing up, I always thought I was too dumb to read; listening to my mother always correct me... I learned to be quiet in fear of saying the wrong thing. Now that I'm in my 40's, I realize that my insecurities from my past has followed me into my life today, which has hindered my growth... I will believe in myself more❣
I will try to follow your advice❤️ As of now, I have this kind of habit which I found myself sleepy after every 2 pages of reading a book. Exam will be in next two days but still I'm stuck at the same page😭 Sometimes I used reading when my insomnia attacks because I always feel dizzy once I read😅
What a coincidence... I just started reading “The Obstacle is the Way”. So I UA-cam to be a better reader because I get distracted easily and it’s hard for me to just sit. Then, I see this dude with the obstacle is the way! Wow. Love the advice thanks !
The audible part made me laugh so hard :D
i like how well made this video is, concise and without waffle. thanks
Honestly i dont even know why im here. All i ever do is read.
Lmao
🤣
It really feels good to find people who want to read but can't seem to stay focused on it because it can be boring.
I was reading a Light Novel, and I used to read like 50 to 100 pages a day. Suddenly, I lacked motivation and started to read 1 to 10 pages a day only.
*I hope this video will help me*
First tip is GOLD. 3-5 pages a day is great tip as it's very achievable. I would not recommend doing audio books as one can get easily distracted and then not listen to what it's been said, at least for me. While when u read you're actually concentrating on one thing only, reading. Also your brain absorbs info better by reading then by listening to audio as you're processing when reading, like a computer vs passively listening. Associating reading with some positive reinforcement like being in bed or drinking coffee is also fantastic idea. Thank you.
I enjoy reading comments more than I do books. Sad.
Excellent tips my "Mentor". After this video I directly Subscribed. Love
Don't forget this comment when you have 1m suscribers just keep going like this
Summary:
1. Don't over achieve. Start slow: like 1 page a day.
2. Read before internet. Read first thing in morning.
3. Bunch your habits. A habit you like doing it with the habit you're working.
4. Try audiobooks
5. Change your attitude. Self identity, what you think about your self. if think like i am not a reader you will become one so self identify as a reader.
2:00 I see He read atomic habits
i was thinking the same
I am a total bookworm. I always read aloud in my English class as a teenager. I highly recommend using audio for all readers. It sets the tone, setting, and theme.
Watching this video while violating tip #2😂😂😂😂
I love the idea of reading and own a lot of books. I think you're right about the internet being a massive distraction. My gf says I'm always looking at a screen. Not good.

Hear me out non readers I am not a book reader but I started with a book and tried to complete and finished it.
The way you choose a movie according to desired taste search for the book
Sometimes it takes time to find right book
I got started when I was told to choose my favorite summary from any book so I watched Sherlock Holmes movies then I pick that for school, after reading the summary I became interested in his books so I read the entire chapter this is how I read the complete edition of Sherlock Holmes if anyone is wondering where to read it's on Kindle👍
YOU HAD HAIR?!
Reading is hard at first and it's easier to just come home from work and plop down on the couch and zone out to a movie or tv show. But it's like anything, the more you do it, the better you get at it and the more stamina you have for it. It feels good to work your imagination and it actually helps my mental health. Definitely recommend!
1:00 60 seconds? it takes me one hour to read one damn page...
