No matter what path you choose, there are prices to be paid. No one embraces the Zen/Tao/Hippy/Creative path as completely as Surfers (People Who Ride Waves). First Lesson: Money Is NOT Wealth. Second Lesson: Experiences are more valuable that Possessions/Things. Third Lesson: By the time you arrive at your goal, it's never what you imagined or expected.
Always put your finances in good care to ensure that your income rises. Wealthy people achieve there financial goals and acquire riches by seeking help from finance pro(s) but many claim to have achieved success themselves.
“The greater the passive income you can build, the FREER you will become.” I feel fortunate to have made productive decisions that have had a lasting impact on my life. Through my finance coach, I've accumulated over a million and recently purchased my first house in January. I've also managed to pay off my mortgage and student loans, and now I'm focused on working towards my retirement by next year.
I operate a wide range of investments and have achieved massive growth in my finances with the help of my financial professional, making my financial goal a reality.
My mum always said "Don't be afraid to change your mind" It's always okay to change your job and the way you live your life, but don't be afraid to change something that isn't working for you ☺️
Something that really stuck with me was Jim Carey saying “you can fail at what you don’t like”. And that will forever be something I keep in mind and move forward with
Thanks for sharing, Ali. At this point in my life, I am feeling uncertain and it's scary but If my dreams and goal don't scare me then is it worth it. I am stepping into faith and continuing to embrace uncertainty rather than sitting in my comfort.
Why are you doing it. It's because u feel like doing it or because u feel everyone else is living their dream but you are here on You Tube looking for answers. What's your Why?
Fear setting questions for you to copy and paste: 1. Define your nightmare the absolute worst that could happen if you did when you were considering. 2. What steps can you take to repair the damage or get things back on the upswing even if temporarily? 3. What are the outcomes or benefits both temporary and permanent of more probable scenarios? 4. If you were fired from your job today, what would you do to get things under financial control? 5. What are you putting off out of fear? 6. What is it costing you--- financially, emotionally, and physically --- to postpone action? 7. What are you waiting for?
i legitimately powered through each point where i would typically fast forward because of the pacing bar on the bottom of each segment. love it! ty for supporting our short attention spans, it was easy to engage
I love this video. Thanks so much for the fresh insights. I became unemployed recently and have went from feeling down to waking up excited about all the things I can do now with my spare time.
Actually, the default path is an ILLUSION of certainty. I think people now more than ever are realizing these companies don't value their workers and often fire them on the whim.
I’ve decided I’m quitting my job and pursuing something I’ve been called to do. I’m not sure of it but what I’m sure of is I’m not happy where I’m at, so here’s to finding happiness 😊
i took the pathless path, multiple trainings and lateral drifts, at the time i graduated from highschool, then at 35 i took a detour onto the default path for 10 years, i dont regret it, it helped me pay off a mortgage, but i left it for an even more pathless route at age 45, now at age 55, its all finally starting to gel. i wish i could have learned my lessons much much earlier, but in the end, ive lived my life as i wanted, and im looking forward to the exploration of the next and last 20 of my productive years and making a plan for the more restricted final decade.
I like this. First video I've seen in awhile where I don't feel as if I'm watching an ad. I like new Ali. Keep it up. You aren't talking 1000mph, either. Majority of your videos I cannot watch without popping my anxiety med.
I'm pathless. Languages -> philosophy -> acting -> UA-cam -> next is probably going to be writing lol. Nobody understands me. I don't understand myself either, I was just born this way.
Im in school, doing science stream and have no clue what to become, i guess i should do what the book says. Embrace uncertainty and aproach it with curiosity and wonder
In short, love this video- going to get the book; but I feel these ideals are for the young amd that stings! What about people my age, mid 50’s, kids are grown, now what? Just be stuck in the 9-5 grind until retirement, for what? I want something else, now, while I can! I digress- lol I’m excited to read the book and perhaps more like it!
You can start doing little things that start transforming your life into something you’re more passionate if you feel restrained by your commitments. I’m 28, and don’t technically have responsibilities but I can’t afford to just quit my job. So I started just doing my passions in my free time instead of just dreaming about it. Starting small helps for me
Really enjoyed this one! Was wondering if you and Justin Sung have ever crossed paths? Both your channels and career change path have some really interesting similarities.
Hello, Ali, I found your channel when I was looking for videos on mastering my MacBook Air (yes I know It's completely out of date ha ha ha ha ha) and was amazed by you which I am sure you used to and since you have never recommended anything bad or not worth checking into so I am currently waiting for this book to come to me and I will read and then will refer back to this video when I am done hopefully my next comment will be more insightful
Not to denigrate your book review here; however, the point about hamster wheeling and appeasing sponsors at 13:09, for me that's exactly how you come across - certainly over the past year or so.

Agree Don
Nothing is ready made.
Every person's path is unique. I think honesty and courage can lead you to the right place
This is truth right here.
Well we'd like to find that ourselves
I totally agree with the third lesson which is why right now I'm just enjoying the process and the journey.

I love how real he is on camera, keeps me watching through the whole thing.
This is what i needed the most now. I quit my traditional job but lost the way and confused. thank you for sharing this Ali ❤
You got this🌷
Keep going.. keep exploring the curiosities. And pay attention to what you enjoy doing.
The South Korean market ain't so good, I hope you have money saved up

@@rengsn4655 Thank you and same to you! 🙂
Love that.. and remember - you can always go back if you need to 🙌🏽
@Tia Cherie Good for you! Best of luck
What were you "called to do" ?
i took the pathless path, multiple trainings and lateral drifts, at the time i graduated from highschool, then at 35 i took a detour onto the default path for 10 years, i dont regret it, it helped me pay off a mortgage, but i left it for an even more pathless route at age 45, now at age 55, its all finally starting to gel. i wish i could have learned my lessons much much earlier, but in the end, ive lived my life as i wanted, and im looking forward to the exploration of the next and last 20 of my productive years and making a plan for the more restricted final decade.
The weird thing is, the uncertainty that exists on the pathless paths, still exists on the default path.
Just listening the book in audible and your podcast with the author. Great to see this summary!
Thank you!
Nothing is certain and security is an illusion. Cultivate curiosity and wonder-- love it!
FINALLY, after he talked insanelly well about this book, i couldn't be more anxious to this video
wow. yes, THIS IS YOUR LIFE!!!!!!!!!! YOU HAVE TO LIVE IT!!!! I JUST QUIT MY JOB AND I FEEL SO FREE AND RIGHT WHERE I NEED TO BE.

Read mastery by Robert Greene. Trust me bro.
Love it
This made me realise why I always let things get down to the wire and leave the future wide open: I hate certainty.
I was always told, "Why walk in someone else's shadow, when there's so much sunshine out there."
I love this book! It's my most gifted book right now. Also, loved the Harry Potter references haha.
No matter what we take, we will feel uncertain now and then. The only way to deal with insecure feelings is to find purpose in what we do.
Thank you Ali for the recommendation. I started to read this book in the beginning of my spring semester of my senior college year this year.
I call both paths, linear and non linear paths respectively. ✍ 💪
" don't call it uncertainty, call it freedom "
This video is eye-opening! I really need to watch it at least once more! 😅
Thank you for posting, Ali! ❤
Just buy the book 😂
@@PaulMillerd That's my next step, definitely 😆

Thank you Ali, I really identified myself in some parts of what you said. I'll definitely read the book!
Exactly what I needed to hear at this point in my life! Thank you very much :D
The Harry Potter start = literal perfection
Love your videos Ali! Especially book club!! Watching from Malawi!! 🇲🇼... keep up the good work!
what to do if your “default path” is full of uncertainty?
Embrace it :)
Goal I'm working towards in 5 year: To get on the Ali Abdaal Podcast. How it will happen? Leaving it in the hands of embracing Wonder & Curiosity.
I just procrastinated and Check my mobile what do, and suddenly UA-cam notified like 'Get your daily dose of Dopamine and the go work' from Ali❤
This video is amazing Ali , soo many people need to read that book
Appreciate it!
That's it! I'm abandoning all my commitments, obligations, and responsibilities to follow the pathless path.
My wife and kids be damned!
The book is totally worth it! Read it few months ago and absolutely loved it:)
thank you!
Actually one of my favourite videos of yours! Fantastic review of what seems like an incredible book 📖🙌
I love hearing people talk about the freedom to just quit your job and travel the world as if it's a privilege freely available to everyone
Nice works.
Thank you.
I quitted my job and retired few years ago.
9:10 DO THAT MORE OFTEN! It reminds everybody that they too have stuff to work on.
Just finished reading this book and I got the idea to read it from your 2022 read list
Love the videos Ali. Thankful for you, keep up the great work! :)
Love the video, need to tune in more often! ✌
Pathless path only sounds fun on paper but it isn't the best choice when you have loved ones to takecare of.
Remember, ppl. This video is this youtubers JOB and way of making MONEY. While he's getting his, he's talking you out of doing yours.
This is lovely Ali ❤️
Keep impacting 📈📈
No need being afraid of tomorrow, just put in your best today..
The content in this video really resonated with me and made me subscribe.

Hi paul ❤️-the dog
I’ve watched this video just in case, now I’m rewatching it just in time
Thanks, Ali. Your storytelling is amazing, bro
Pathless path: call center, sales agent, OnlyFans, UA-camr, online seller, networker
call center falls under default path
🤣
He dropped OF 😂
These kind of videos are why i subsccribed to this channel .
Funny thing is that Hermione would definetly choose the default path 😅
And Harry likely the pathless path hidden beneath his default path :)
Hermione has time turner
me who didnt watch harry potter thought that , that was the story until i heard the word company
If you arent married yet or dont have children yet, just take the " pathless" way.
Goodluck!
Amazing keep going bro, Good luck
Love this just what I needed ❤
Thank you for sharing these valuable lessons and so grateful for this video.
I just love your work about subject explanation
Your VIDEOs are really valuable!! ( Valuable as always)❤
Much needed❤
