“The evidence was thin as kylie’s swimwear”
Ooo, Jack woke up and chose violence 💀
🤣🤣🤣
the tea was served and it is scalding🍵🍵
I meannnnn I MEAAANNNNN
It's funny because it's true
Violence = Truth
this is just jack losing his mind for 12 minutes straight LMAOOO
Love this for him.
@@rashmiagarwal5648 no.
Me with spiritual knowledge and abilities also lost a lot of brain cells because of this meaningless review. It’s like talking about chemistry with no knowledge about chemistry … of course it’s weird then!
I'm here for it. Go, Jack.
Kylie seems like the type of person to recommend a book she never finished lmao
Assuming she actually made it past the title page if that.
@@jasminedubois6711 haha yeah bold of me to assume she even started it 🤣
To be fair, I recommended a book to a friend before I finished it just because the book was so gripping.
Ig she only finished the inside cover lmao
This seems bitter and unnecessary lmao like she never claimed to be smart chill
If I was a celebrity, I'd be scared of Jack Edwards coming and attacking for my favorite books lol.
If you're not an complete idiot you shouldn't be worried I guess
Especially if your fav books suck
Haha he's like an assassin for celebrity's book taste.
I wouldn't bc I don't even read
@@MercurialMoon why don’t you read?
I mean did a celebrity actually read a book if Jack did not psychoanalyse them?
so many likes yet only 1 reply
If I ever become famous I am not sharing my book tastes because now I'm scared this man's gonna judge me harshly
@@cookiemocher388 same haha!
Her book list sounds like *what wealthy people read to make themselves feel better for not giving a crap about others lol
Truth
indeed
AccURATe
aka "how to not care about not having empathy"
No not all rich people. Only those who got a lot of money and fame without working hard
When you started complimenting Kylie on being a “self made billionaire” you had me in the first half, not gonna lie. For real though, the fact that some people don’t know that the “self made” and “billionaire” parts are both lies is irrationally irritating.
It’s weird that you get irritated by someone you don’t know
@@erikwar683 it's not weird when it's a reflection of bigger issues (self-made billionaire myth)
Erik War it’s weird you find it weird that someone you don’t know can get irritated at people neither of you know
Actually, she is not even a billionaire. She cannot be on the same level with true billionaires Bill Gates , Elon Musk etc (it’s honestly laughable). There are like really few billionaires out there , they are rare , very rare . I don’t understand how it is still legal for this Jenner -Kardashian family to lie about their net worth .
@@erikwar683 I don’t know Kim Jong Un personally yet I find him exceedingly irritating (which is quite justified)

Need to reload some bullets?? U might need it
@@sonalim9880 Well, then so are you. Congratulations to each other on having great taste lol
the funny thing is she probably hasn’t even read these books and jack had to go through the pain of reading them 😭😭
I doubt there is anything on any kardashian social media that is not sponsored.
My thoughts exactly 😂
@Trinity M I never said she doesn't read, I just don't think she's read THESE specific books and prob 'recommended' them to promote a certain image. from what I've seen she seems to be a colleen hoover fan
She might have read them, just because they're rich doesn't mean they never read books, unless the authors or something sponsored her, why would you lie about the books you read
@@cookiemocher388 to gain internet points obv
My dad married a horribly abusive woman and my sister and I begged him to leave, and he had sole custody of us. He was miserable too. He read The Four Agreements and said the book changed his outlook on our situation by convincing him that we are the ones deciding to be affected by her abuse. That her demeaning words and psychologically damaging actions "have no power," even though I was 16 at the time. Whenever I was understandably upset by her actions, he would just bring up that damn book. WTF?! He eventually left a few years later once that bogus thinking wore off and he couldn't take it anymore. I always saw that book as a joke. It mocks legitimate reactions to unhealthy circumstances.
Hope you're alright now
Aargh, that doesn't seem like a pleasant situation. I hope you are OK
Oh my God both of my parents believe that same crap (but through a Christian lens, idk if that book is Christian or not), it is infuriating at its best and traumatizing at its worst, I hope you're living your best life now ❤
@@N_IRL thank you! it’s crazy that my dad was never religious as I was growing up (he is now though) but I think he used similar manipulative tactics.
I am living my best now 😊 I earned a masters degree and became a college counselor in Hawaii and only need to work 9 months out of the year. It feels good knowing how upset my dads ex would be at my happiness and success.
@@MiciousDawn That's great to hear! I'm going off to college in just two weeks, and it's not a religious college so I'm going to start my journey toward living my best life really soon! I'm sure I'll become very acquainted with my own college counselor, you chose a very noble career path to walk down
I read the Four Agreements and I was so confused the whole time. I read it as a teen and thought “maybe I’m just dumb, or maybe I’ll get it when I’m older???” So I’m glad to hear I’m not stupid, it’s just word salad nonsense lol
lol im glad i saw this video becuase I've seen it recommended so many times but no I'm never going to read it.
I'm not saying that you're stupid .. But it's definitely not nonsense. It makes total sense, whether you agree with it or not.
@@graceface420 how so?
@@thisisajourney8956 good question. And I'm not sure it's even something that can be explained (or perhaps I just don't know how to). But I will say that I'm definitely older than Jack and I find that we have wildly different perspectives on books. I thought things were nonsense when I was 20 that I now see the value in. Reading this book at almost 40, I now know the importance of its lessons.
@@graceface420 That’s how I’ve been seeing it as well.
"We're off to a *Stormi* start"
"Make sure you"ve got some *syrup* because this is mostly just *waffle* "
"Let's just cha-cha slide and take it back a little y'all"
*“The evidence was thin as Kylie’s swimwear”*
One of the few reasons why I love this channel so much
What does the syrup and waffle refer to? I don’t follow the kardashian
@@Sara-kq8qb idk if it has anything to do w the kardashians but pancake is dry without syrup that’s why jack said that
@@Sara-kq8qb waffle sounds like awful :)
@@Sara-kq8qb Waffle is a term used to refer to many words but not much meaning, i.e. just a load of nonsense to pad out the book
He has one of the best senses of humour on yt
angry jack is so entertaining
lmao fr
"Kylie Jenner's bank balance looks like a phone number while mine looks like the number someone would have on squid game"
When it comes to Jack's humour the limit is the sky
this will always be my favorite video of his. he’s so pissed throughout the whole thing, it cracks me up every time.
My supervisor: Why is there no critical analysis in your essay?
Me: I can feel it in my bones that the researchers were telling the truth.
my first thesis draft ^ "coz i know" lmaoo
😂
“Feeling in your bones” means high range of developed intuition to make this clear. It’s psychic thing. Writing essay and looking for knowledge in book need evidence cause you take knowledge from book, not from your own experience of psychic development of knowledge. Do not don't confuse impressions with concepts.
@@laurakubickova8777 i see someone did not get the joke

Never fail to disappoint.... I think you phrased that wrong
Ummm...never fail to disappoint?💀
He always brings that humor!
u had a little wrong wordplay there💀
I’m going to read every book Kylie Jenner has recommended… *proceeds to hold up the smallest pile of books* 😅
Because that were the only book she recommended?
yeah cause it's recommended not read....??
My comment still stands - it either means she has very high standards of books or she doesn’t read much at all.
@@gracemills8777 she wasnt recommending every book she likes, shes just saying "these are a couple you should read" when i recommend something i dont recommend every book i've ever liked
Okay, I just recently found this guy and I couldn't be more upset as to how I didn't know him before! This guy is absolutely amazing and needless to say, his humor is top-tier for me.
Oh I know! He’s so witty!
Don't you just hate it when you're out running errands and run into someone from a past life. Completely ruins my day.
😂😂😂😂👻😳!
I feel like alot of these celebrities support and promote these books because alot of these 'self-help' books promote the idea that we can change our lives if we simply decided too. Then celebrities can defend themselves against people calling them out for money hording and unethical practices because according to these 'experts' if the people they treat unethically just decided to get better jobs and "work harder" then they wouldn't be in the position they're in.
This is such an insightful observation I think your right on the money
Couldn't have said it better myself.
Then they say shit like "wE AlL hAvE tHe SaMe 24 HoUrS-"
I was thinking the same thing omg you worded it perfectly
Absolutely, some celebs love to seek super relatable and will make like we can be just like them if we ate and exercised just like them. Like, unless we get the support these wealthy people have, we could never asked to their level of success, whatever that may entail (fitness, wealth, happiness, etc.)
the four agreements book gave me hella anxiety because of that "your thoughts become your reality" mentality... which YEAH makes sense because if you think negatively all the time that tends to spiral, but my silly goofy brain takes it literally so I'm now I'm afraid to have even one bad thought because then bad things might happen 🤠
Same!!!
Your constant thoughts create
you may want to look into OCD, this sounds similar to that
Oh gosh I thought I was the only one
@@spideyvenus some time ago I was afraid I might have OCD because my intrusive thoughts are really bad and honestly they interfere with my life so much, there was a point I was so afraid of one specific thing happening and that caused me so much anxiety to the point I couldn’t eat and I would lay in bed crying about it all day (the thing in question involved health, when there were no sign whatsoever that there was anything wrong with my health).. But I don’t think i do any compulsory behavior, i don’t feel the need to clean or organize anything, and when I did research about it this was like the main symptom of ocd so now I just think my problem is just anxiety really. But should I maybe talk about it with my psychologist?
So next time I go to the doctor I should expect "You don't need further investigations, I can feel it my bones you are ok"
I mean, some version of that happens a lot, tbh. lol
"If she has physic powers tell us when David Attenborough is going to die so we can all stop worrying" the books might be shit but the comedy was next level
Book review channels have no business being this clever
Please do Florence Welch, Hozier or Tom Hiddleston. I'm begging you by now.
Also you can probably enjoy these.
yesss
and Emma Watson
Omg Tom Hiddlesgon and Emma Watson for sure!!!! Please!
Oh my god if Jack was to analyse Tom Hiddleston AKA my soul mate's taste in literature I would dieeeee
Lol the four agreements is always so highly recommended! I actually recently picked it up at a thrift store and want to read it soon. I bet it’s the “wisdom book” for people who have never read a book
Thanks so much for talking about the four agreements. So many people on instagram were recommending it and saying “it changed their lives”. so I read it and thought it was super basic common self help knowledge or something super crazy like thinking about cancer and than getting it. You are honestly the first person I’ve heard speaking the truth and not praising this book for being genius.
Less than a minute into the video and you're already dragging Kylie for being 'self-made' 💀💀 this is gonna be a BANGING video
As a hypnotherapist I find Weir's book problematic as I was trained to do forms of past-life regression with clients.. WITH THE COMPLETE UNDERSTANDING of both parties that what the client sees and experiences ISN'T a past life, but the brains ability to code information and experiences as METAPHORS. Exactly like a dream. You can use this technique to help resolve difficult memories and experiences, and a few clinical studies suggest that this is useful.
BUT it isn't, you know, real. It's the subconscious mind and it's beautiful ability to code data.
Weir's assertion that it was, in fact, real in my opinion robs the client of whatever clinical therapeutic value such a technique might have.
Thanks for your input. Past Life Regression is a weird title to give it and i think a lot of people exploit it.
But Past lives don’t exist🙄
Weirs idk about him but the only hypnotherapist i like is alba wainman
@@sandershano5758 The comment literally acknowledges past lives don't exist 😭
THIS!!!
The four agreements is a book of Toltec philosophies. I have read this book in its original Spanish language, and the translation does not do justice. I suggest people wanting to read this book, and the creator of this youtube video, too, look further into the historical implications of the philosophies these native Mexican people were trying to embody :). I also agree there are a lot of faults in this book, but this is a native people's philosophy that should be looked at through the objective lens of history as well.
👌🏽
The four agreements actually helped me a lot on realizing stuff that maybe for a lot of people is easy, but when you are feeling like there is nothing that can help you out it’s really hard for you to realize it.
Agreed
When you're lost and confused you often forget core truths and books like The Four Agreements really help
Yes. I read it when I need it most
I agree that sometimes these books serve as a reminder of old wisdom but the way they justify the content is really bad. I mean, when the author resorts to mumbo jumbo and magic thinking to validate their wisdom then I would say not even the author believes in what they preach. That's what's disappointing about these books.
Hell yeah!! four aggreements just pulled me out of so much self sabotage!
Four agreements really helped me alot
video idea - getting book shop cashiers or librarians to pick ur next read!?
Yesss this seems goood!!
I love that idea !
A really strong suggestion. I'd watch that vid 👌
but joe is in Paris ya'll. Jack, better watch out
Omg THIS SOUNDS like an amazing idea
How did Dr Weiss get his PhD in psychology? I have a BSc in psychology, and we were always required to cite references in every piece of work, but he gets away with "I can just feel that it's true"? My lecturers would never have let me get away with that. Or if they had, it would have saved me a lot of time "this essay is full of factual information because I believe it is"
He said “source: dude trust me”
Is it a self published book maybe?
That book is for amusement, and I think is more popular in latinamerica because we love those subjects 😂

I've been bingeing your content for a week now and I just finished reading your book at 1:55 am on a school night. I thought it was a very informative read. I especially appreciated the personal insights to international experiences, your experience with imposter syndrome and the talk about diversity. I actively took notes from your personal statement section. Your content is super fun, I love the attempted puns they always make me exhale with pressure through my nostrils.
Your titles are getting better and better lmao
jack throwing the book over his shoulder is such a good summary of all the books in this video 😂
also the references were on point 👌
I’d love to see a live feed of you while reading these books. I imagine random screaming, the book occasionally hitting the wall, yelling ‘whyyyyyyy’.
The four agreements read without any critical thought can be outright dangerous. That book has no personal accountability
I think it’s safe to say Jack is NOT into spiritualism hahaha
Lol truu
Yankee spiritualism is the biggest bullshit USA is trying to sell to our generation now a days.
Honestly those books are for profit only. I am heavily spiritual, and yet those books exist as some sort of "psychiatric" evidence (with no evidence), to convince people that are desperate, be it from physical suffering, be it from a suffering mind. This is awful and misleading. Shouldn't be published as "science". I am fuming

The 4 agreements is more of a spiritual book that you don’t read in order to analyze but understand and grow. I’m shocked Kylie read it
No analysis or critical thinking skills required huh? Now y’all see why people fall for anything these days and don’t believe in facts and science. Gullible af
@@PeepersT Bro i can tell only by reading your insults that you are really no better. Do you think that people who meditate are dumb and don't belive in the science. you are so way off.

How can you understand without analyzing?
I rarely comment but when you make these kinds of videos, it's really entertaining to watch, plus, somehow, it made me learn how to criticize or analyze in writing better! I love a good laugh especially when it comes to books! I hope you do more of these kinds of videos!
it’s been a stormi week for jack. hope you are doing better now x
also also she doesn’t even have good taste in book covers, unlike her sisterrrr
I knew someone who knew Dr. Weiss personally since they used to work together at UM. Most of the Psychiatric department considered him a bit off and he was apparently deeply affected by the death of his child. He was more interested in his superstar status after Many Lives, Many Masters than actually helping people.

I read one of those when I was about 10 years old and was fascinated by reincarnation, then started reading about metaphysics, after that new age and self help books. I've also read the 4 agreements a few times. All I can say is that at the very least these books got me interested in reading.
You should do a video about Anya Taylor-Joys book recommendations!
It's only considered sunday when Jack posts a video, so mission accomplished
happy sunday!!!
@@jack_edwards Crying in Australian (it’s Monday for me.)
I agree with your thoughts on The Four Agreements. I had been hearing such great things about it for years from my peers and finally read it and I was disappointed. It was a struggle to get through it!
I think this is my favorite video from you. The rage is just genuinely delicious. I'm so sorry you read these.
'generational wealth' damn, Jack's on fire today.
“Firstly because the 4 rules are explained in the inside cover” I died😂
Hey, Jack! I love your videos! I don't know if you take requests or not, but I think it would be really interesting to see you discuss the things you hate about your favourite books. It could be an interesting, and possibly challenging, exercise.
The BEST reviews ever. I have only read the first of these but your critique is spot on. Hysterical.
why to watch stand up comedy when you can watch jack reviewing celebritied book recommendation.
4 agreements is actually really good for spiritual growth. Writing is not the best but the founding idea is actually true
Jack chucking the book behind him will never not be satisfying. It gives me strong Silver Linings Playbook vibes, and I love it.
"BEAUTIFULLY BEAUTIFULLY" 3:32 he sounds so British lmao
My narcissistic estranged father LOVED the 4 agreements because they were rules that Other People should follow. Also I kinda feel like “Do Your Best” kinda negates the other agreements because you could be like “well I was impeccable with my word 1/10 times but at least I tried!”
Ooof I hear you. I was in a toxic friendship with someone obsessed with the four agreements and “take nothing personally” became “anytime I held them accountable it was a me problem”
Same here... i think we can draw some conclusions :/
my parents too
@@GailGallaghermusic this is more common sense for me? What the heck you needed a book to told you that??? 😅🤣🤣🤣
Well i know some people needed to be told about this. Like Kylie

Ngl Jack I’m only looking at your house right now. The kitchen is literally so cute and I loveeee the door, I have a think for wood doors rn they just make the home look homey

Jacques in Paris. My new favourite show. I hope you’re proceeding well with your French and I wish you have a jolly time while you’re there.
Enjoying your sense of humor! binge watching your videos just made its way to my to-do list. That sounds like an important goal for the day.
I thought the same as you when I read the four agreements for the first time! Really triggered me the way it was written. Tho I must say as I actually started living by them, they are live changing! Simple but good. And you realize that life CAN be really simple once you start following them
Anecdotal
"Like some evil Alan Titchmarsh" is my favourite quote ever and I *will* try to use this in my day-to-day life.
Okay but Jack ranting about these books for 12 minutes straight is the most entertaining thing I saw today :D

8:40 The pause 👀🤭😂 How can someone flipping out be so entertaining to watch lol 😂
I’ve actually had a doctor say to me ‘you look fine’ when I had a Crohn’s flare and was loosing weight. Yeah. I was fine. A lot of the spiritual books are ableism.
This 👏 Review 👏 Is 👏 Brutal
I needed this sass and honesty for my Sunday night. Much love from Australia 🇦🇺
Dr Weiss has been watching too much k-drama. I literally just watched a series with the same plot as the second book.
Love spending time with Jack! ❤️
everyone especially kourtney posts about the 4 agreements and i’m like you could summarize the whole book with one paragraph which is literally the inside cover !!!!!!!!
Quote of the Day: “My Self-Deprecating Humour could never-“
I worked at a book store for 5 years, The Four Agreements is a widely well known self-help book. And this video goes to show just because a book is popular, it doesn't mean it's necessarily a good book.
Only if you take this persons opinion as the truth
It IS an excellent book in fact. This guy is not the expert. Just his opinion (which I do not agree with)
@@jgator6694 this guy has a degree in literature though.. he literally studied criticism and as a critic he does his job (expressing his opinion about how the book is written) very well. and he talks about the execution of those ideas while saying that those ideas are not bad (2:35). so even if the book was helpful to some, to him with his giant reading experience it wasn't written well. not saying you don't have the right to have your opinion though, books are supposed to be discussed from different perspectives.
@@minimoniya that may be true that he has a degree in literature; however I would argue that doesn’t make his opinion more valid than mine. When his argument about The Four Agreements include such things as “ a toddler is not a perfect person because he sh!ts himself”…he is clearly missing the point the author was making about why a toddler is “perfect ( uncorrupted; untarnished by the world). And his statement that if you read this book you are a “dickhead”….well let’s just say he lost me there. While I agree with you, minimoniya, that opinions on books are open to interpretation, I think I could find another book critique who can articulate his opinion in a more intelligent and classy way. I think this particular book critique should probably learn to incorporate some (if not all) of the four agreements into his daily life. My opinion for what it is worth..
@@jgator6694 i understand your point and i don't disagree with you either, i don't want to invalidate your opinion. i assume you two looked on this book from two opposite sides and it's fine to have opposing opinions
You should read every book Bella Swan recommends in the twilight books x
She basically just recommends a high school English Literature curriculum. Like the books people name when asked to name classics.
Wuthering heights it's actually a very nice classic, I loved it 😂
I love this commentary so much! Very enjoyable I just subscribed.
I’m a bookseller and the number of copies of these books my store sells on a regular basis has quickly become astounding to me
Kylie: *recommends a book*
Jack: So you’ve chosen death
“If you read this book you will be insufferable”… that’s probably why she read it
I think this is my favourite of your videos Jack. Thanks.
I was literally opening up a comment to explain why she’s not actually a self-made millionaire/billionaire and you beat me to the punch! 🤣
Also, the first book is a foundational text in the New Age movement…it outlines the idea of manifestation, or the idea that your words have cosmic weight…it is very silly on the surface but also very harmful…ppl have believed they can do things like will away cancer instead of getting medical treatment…I’m glad you tore it apart! Well done 😉
This is the dangerous side of manifestation for sure. However, manifestation is also used as a trigger for self-motivation causing a person to prepare as though they have what they want to the point where they have actually achieved it.
Yes, this can be called self-belief and motivation however those who follow magick often refer to it as manifestation. Just like religions can say achievements are a grace from their god/gods.
@@emizard9249 I absolutely agree…religious people from all backgrounds will also deny necessary medical treatment and rely on prayer instead…but I would argue that both of those ppl are coming from the same place…I pray to God all the time and occasionally ask him for things, but he can always say no and he frequently does 😂 I respect practitioners of New Age religions and Neopagan religions in general 🙏🏼 I guess my objections come when ppl are being materially harmed in some way (and that applies to everyone, regardless if I share a religion with them or not 👍🏼) thank you for your thoughts Emily and have a great day! ❤️
Not going to lie, as someone who has struggled with Borderline Personality Disorder traits, the Four Agreements changed my life, and I credit my recovery in part to its advice. Each to their own tho
Best book
Have it too but I went with DBT. I recommend you to look that up as well. It helped a lot.
@@loveitftw I have gone through DBT, it was actually in DBT that my therapist recommended the book to me.
@@sylvia1797 oh really. Interesting, I feel like what he describes from the book seems really weird and oversimplified but also kinda misguided to the conclusion of the topic's end point. A tad off from what I'm familiar to about DBT at least. 😅
A book I was recommended was The High-Conflict Couple by Allan E. Fruzzetti.
The book is literally based on ancient Toltec spirituality. And spirituality is meant to be simple. Having a good life is simple. That’s why the content on the book is kinda “obvious”. I am okay with people not liking it, but I am sad Jack basically said it was trash. Is not.
I love reading novels especially the novels that compose of 1000 - 5000 chapters/page. It's like a journey with complete world building that you will need just a little bit of effort to imagine the settings of the books.
This was one of the most entertaining UA-cam vidéo I've watched all year. Love live the Edwards.
I work at a bookstore and the Four Agreements is probably one of the most popular self transformation titles we sell and it hurts my soul every time I see someone buying it. On a brighter note, I highly recommend Cloud Cuckoo Land by Anthony Doerr. It's a National Book Award finalist in the US and is honestly one of the best books I've read, hands down.
Some recommended The Four Aagreements to me. The idea of it coming from Tolmec ideals was interesting but just the first couple pages was SO off-putting. It was just like The Secret. Yuck!
@Trinity M but its not about a culture is it? The book is called the four agreements, its about that, and if the way it expands about them its bad or personally bad for jack and op then there is that, but it isnt about them talking about a culture, in no way
Agreeeee i hated that book sooo much hahaha
“FIND A SYNONYM” 3 minutes in and I love this video already
Watch all your videos Jack but just wanted to say your comedy is at an all new level in this video. I'm not an out loud laugher but you've got me giggling over my Sunday breakfast.
I saw "the four agreements" in a book fair yesterday and got curious about it (honestly, at first glance i thought it was something related to weed) but I had the same weird feeling when I saw that the four pilars of the book were stated in the cover. I do like the idea of "being impeccable with your words" when it comes to understading their power to hurt or open possibilities and also the importance of communicating truth and authenticity (I used to lie a lot as a child and I'm really good at it, but it has brought me unhappiness and this unsettling feeling similar to an "impostor syndrome").
Anyway, all this to say that I think those are good principles but I'm glad I didnt buy the book, thanks for the content!
I agree!! I really like the principles but I don't like how was explained in the book😅
watching Jack lose his mind over the last two books gave me the strength to complete my assignments.
