THANKS BRO! REMEMBER GUYS: PRODUCE MORE THAN YOU CONSUME. Creation is what really makes the change, not endless consummation. Knowledge that is not applied is no knowledge at all!
1 Reading books (not enemies to lovers smut) and apply what you read. 2 Watching podcasts (the intelligent ones) 3 become a creator (I'm shy idk if I'll do that)
My main teacher was a former mba director now teaching in the austrian type buisness school and this guy wants us to be successful so mich he is teaching us everything from presentation to making us read outliers man im so happy we got him
Man , I came along your channel recently , and im really impressed by how you get to the point and provide actual practical information and actionable steps. This is easily one of the most useful videos that you've uploaded till now. I'm Really thankful for the book and podcast recommendations!
Podcasts help with my productivity. Like most people i dislike chores but whenever i pair doing those with listening to a podcast, i kind of look forward to it. I also gain more knowledge so it’s a win win
thank youuuu cause i always feel like im dumb when i see people getting good grades and all, when really im just paying attention to the wrong things, tysmm!!!
I go to yale university and i recommend you read the standard self improvement non-fiction books, books about wealthy or successful people, implement productivity hacks. Be sure to listen to podcasts from smart accredited people to. Finally, be creative. I am glad I didn't go to college
For the psychology part, I also recommend those books. The first book is good if you wanna get away from toxic people, second book is self explanatory as well as the third.
thank u for this! majority of these, i already apply in my routine. but there are still some suggestions that intrigue me and i can’t wait to try these out. ❤
I’m reading the book “Limitless” by Jim Kwik, which teaches us to learn better and faster as well as things we should eat to keep our brains (the second brain is the stomach) in top shape 📚
I can also recommend the book of five rings by Miyamoto Musashi, a few pages are exclusively about sword fighting but most of it is about him (a real 16th century samurai) explaining what a warrior should be, how you prepare, what you need to put into your craft, what your mindset should be while doing your craft and what you should reap from it. It’s very transferable to almost anything you do. Dude was an badass with intricate knowledge of the power of the mind.
Reading only nonfiction isn't the only path to getting smart. Embracing both nonfiction and fiction is key to becoming a well-rounded thinker. Nonfiction sharpens your critical thinking and analysis by presenting factual information and logical frameworks. Meanwhile, fiction engages your imagination and deepens your understanding of characters and motives, boosting your empathy and emotional intelligence. Nonfiction expands your vocabulary in specific subjects and helps you articulate complex ideas clearly, while fiction enhances your overall language skills with its rich, diverse styles. Combining the structured learning of nonfiction with the imaginative experiences of fiction leads to comprehensive intellectual growth, blending analytical rigor with creative thinking for a more versatile intelligence.
Kids go to school to be exposed to many topics to figure out what interests them, to try out/fail and find what they are good at. Many people cannot do that and utilize the school environment to max, as no environment ever will be ideal or fairytale. Learning to ulitize any environment for your next steps in life is the key.
I just want to be smart because I want more knowledge. It's such a good feeling when you know so much and can share it with other people or even use it for your own success.
How do you read books more in the specific? You underline? You write something about what you read? You just create some active recalls? What is the best way to read without spending too much time on it?
Late to the party here, but visualization is also a good way to practice when you don't have the physical means. Say if you wanna learn how to build a PC, try to imagine yourself in that persons perspective while watching the video. This will help visualize the knowledge you've learned prior. Either that, or try to find software that simulates an opportunity to practice yourself (PC Building Simulator). It's not perfect, but it's better than cramming it in your head and expecting to remember.
For us here in South Africa its 7 years of primary school, 5 years of high school and maybe 4 to 7 years of college depending on your field of education
Colin's approach to integrating reading, watching educational content, and creating as pathways to intelligence is insightful! 📘 Leveraging these habits not only boosts personal growth but also enhances one's ability to contribute meaningfully to others' lives.
🎯 Key Takeaways for quick navigation: 00:44 *📚 Reading non-fiction books is a fast way to gain knowledge and improve vocabulary.* 02:10 *🎧 Actively watch informative podcasts and videos to enhance learning and development.* 03:36 *💡 Becoming a creator by sharing knowledge online can lead to personal fulfillment, growth, and potentially financial success.* Made with HARPA AI
I'm starting to see that more people these days are realizing that appearing competent and knowledgeable is important. Schools have failed us. I also strongly recommend people to use these books to create a Second Brain on Obsidian or something. You're prone to forget some things!
I think the knowledge, and the skills we can get through reading books must be useful in the environments, within the field we can be to meet one or many of our needs. To achieve this goal we must outline what should be needs for us.
Great video, i clicked because I watched easy, actually. 2 nonfiction books I absolutely recommend is Moonwalking with Einstein, teaching you techniques on how to memorize anything, and Thinking Fast and Slow, because although some of the experiments may be faulty, it teaches you a variety of mental models that sharpen your critical thinking
Okay folks who are watching might have seen the title and even some comments from other people who say this title is from another channel named easy actually and yes that is true. Now the other comments just leave it at that but seeing how you copied the title word for word. May I suggest adding in the description credit to easy actually's channel or video. I don't mean to hat on Collin's video in fact I think Mr Chad is one of the best self improvement channel there are out there. However, you have to give credit to other people where it's due
I have a recommmemdation of a book which completely changed my life, motivated me in hard times and is one of the best books ever written. And it's name is 'BHAGWAT GITA'. Everyone can read this book no matter what religion he/she is as it teaches about dharma which is the way of living.
Really and really. I have came across friends that have researched alot about various topics that interest them. To an extent that when they debate ,you can't reason them much even if they totally seem wrong. It's like a skill they have learnt. They're smart at games, music, sports and more. They're tactful and quick with sharp presence of mind. They have knowledge on concrete ideas of History, Geopolitics, Astrophysics, Sociology, Computer Sciences and what not. That even seems to be too much for a High School Graduate. Out of influence, now even I have the inclinations to just become better and better. Suggest more ideas, thanks :)
Yea I thought so too, but he actually did credit @easyactually as inspiration and the video does kinda go off in its own direction later. I see it less as a ripoff and more as taking the original message and spreading it in his own words.
I started reading Games People Play about a year ago and got mad. I haven’t been able to go back to it sense.😭 I’ve only gotten through two or three laws of power. Let’s pray I get through The Body Keeps the Score.
Hope you guys enjoyed this video :)
Inspired by @easy, actually. Go show some love to his channel 😎🤞
We did yeah. But I'd like to ask you some off topic questions. Would you give me a few times of yours? If so, it'll be Cool from you.

I don't think reading alone makes you smart, you must apply what you learn too. Keep up the good content bro

I can read 100 books, but the question is everyone doesn't have photographic memory.
Search for methods on how to remember everything you read, like taking notes for each chapter or interesting information and reviewing them.
@@Leonardo-pv3dn Do you use any techniques or methods?
I just want to be smart because I want more knowledge. It's such a good feeling when you know so much and can share it with other people or even use it for your own success.
This isn't how you become smart, this is how you make money/get power/inluence, not wisdom.
Bro your channel is literally my favourite channel right now keep going 🎉bro
