Reading for self improvement changed my life. When I was in high school I started reading everyday even on my break when I worked at McDonald’s. My family was poor and struggled a lot so I was determined to make something out of my life. Now I’m graduating college and starting my job on Wall Street in August.
I read 25 pages everyday. I have finished 2 books in 3 weeks and on the 3rd now. People usually think “reading is for non-doers, for people who really do stuff they have no time to read”. Well, it takes me at most 45 minutes to finish this task and I wake up 45 minutes earlier than I used to. I don’t think there is anything like a book in this world, no matter big small expensive cheap, every book has something to offer. I always try to gift books to my friends but it really disappoints me when I find out they were not really expecting one. No wonder why they suck at all levels. Go on, give a few minutes everyday, that shit will sum up to great numbers by the end of the year. Of course you won’t retain more than 10-20-30% of a book but gradually your knowledge, perspective and thought process will change, and change for good.
Hello Aluxers, sorry for being late, we went to a bachelor party last night! Who's your inspiration? Elon Musk's Book List: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-RlvTw8kcP6A.html Video Notes: www.alux.com/bill-gates-books Get a free audiobook: www.alux.com/freebook (Offered by Audible)
50 books is definitely achieveable. It's only about 1 book a week. I like to divide the page count by 4 and I'm able to read a book in 4 days. So if your book is 350 pages long, divide that by 4 and you would only need to read about 87 pages a day... I usually tab the pages in advance and read to the end of the chapter so I'm not stopping halfway through a paragraph or something. This system has worked for me really well. Ive read almost 40 books so far.
Great selection in this one, or check out our other Business Books: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-Dk9mcJtIuCs.html ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-lUBpuXxSLD8.html ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-JRGhUCqDdcU.html
How do they do it when they have enough money to possibly do anything and have access to mostly everything we can only imagine and still manages to read 50 books are year, it's like 1 book a week and most of them are more than 400 pages long.
Its clearly a bullshit statistic. There are a lot of Ceo's that dont even read that much. I even know Ceo's who dont read books at all. However, what they all do have in common is they care about their mind and health. There are different ways to sharpen your brain, that includes meditation and exercise.
Average person work 9 hours a day, had to attend colleagues gathering, had to shop for food/groceries, the moment we got home all we want to do is sleep, we can't make time to read. CEOs got their money flowing into their pocket just by sitting down and read as many book as they want. I promise you I'll read hundred books a month once I become a CEO
Love the fact that these books aren't all grow rich type books. A pretty well rounded group of reads. Making the business books selected feel really valuable.
I want to thank you guys for the value you bring into our lives. I am completely awestruck and awesmerized :P by the frequency you guys publish videos on the channel. A standing ovation for your hard work... and a BIIGGG kudos to the production team for their relentless effort... THANK YOU....
I don't speak English language more cause never go school and I learn from people but now I see this video and I will pay same book and I will riding from that books and I will learn cause I hope to be great thank you for this video
He posts about books he read these on his blog 》》 gatesnotes.com , most of which are all related to philanthropy, society. But highly unlikely they were helpful for him to become the richest man on earth. Which is a thing most people complicate with, Gates didn't read these and become rich.
@@michelea2326 not exactly, he was already fascinated by tech and science, learned to code at a young age, saw a magazine ad, wrote the code, created Microsoft, became what it is today. Reading definitely helped him, but what most get wrong is, reading is not even close to the main factor of success and the books listed in this videos mostly weren't even written when he created Microsoft. Bill Gates was doing the right thing, at the right time, in the right place. Nothing more, he wouldn't make same amount of money if he was a kid today.
Excellent video Alux! There are about 5-6 I am definitely adding to my immediate list. I spend most days reading, learning, that is how you grow and set yourself up for success.
I'm not rich but I've been reading more in my 30's (60-100 books/year) and always love to learn new things But it would be nice if you guys made a Ray Dalio list and a Jay-Z list, because I like the little that I do know of those 2 and would love to just know more about them Besides that, this was a great list I've read 95% of the books on this list Thanks for suggesting the rest
Because it doesnt take as long as you think to read a book. Just carry one with you and read whenever you have free time, during commute, while eating etc.
This is the pinnacle of survivorship bias. Just because successful people do X doesn't mean that doing X will make you successful. There are countless broke people who read constantly. Don't bother reading these unless you're genuinely interested in them. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Survivorship_bias

I've used lifesavings to buy some books and I have learned so much that I think 3 of those books are far more valuable than my high school diploma. My inspiration is the Titan John Davidson Rockefeller. Alux you should do a video about him, maybe even 15 books that he read, I'd be the very first view of that video.
Truly a beautiful collection of books! Haven't read all of them but they're definitely worth reading. Finally got some moments to catch up with Alux. Time's flying like crazy. Honestly, Steve and Elon are my favorites. ❤️ the video.
Amazing Video Alux as usual! I’ve successfully managed to go through the first two videos you created on books every Aluxer should read and managed to read the majority of them - now time for me to get into some Gates reading! I’ll definitely be picking up How Not To Be Wrong in my next trip to the bookstore.
Hello..First of all like to thank you..I love all your Sunday motivational videos..i have a request..Can you please make videos on the book suggestion for financial literacy for beginners..
the third book which is moon walking with Einstein is not actually a detailed book about memory it just a short biography about the author. it has only few tips about improving your memory and the rest of the book is talking about the journey of the author from regular journalist to win the American memory championship including conversations he had with world champions and obstacles he encountered. if you want to read a detailed book about improving memory and how to use memory in your own good whether in school , languages or even impress the people you know by remembering every thing I recommend " how to develop a perfect memory " by Dominic O'Brein .. he has the record of winning 8 times the world championship.
how to read a book and remember everything. I am a beginner in reading books.this channel is helping to improve in lifestyle through books but missing the main point. Help me with 15 ways to improve reading and understanding the content of the books. will u make a video of it ?
his book choices shows how fascinated he is with depopulating the world. though i feel he's correct with his ideas, this man taking on cruel measures to do so
Bill Gates isn’t the guy whom we know through the 1990’s. He’s gone off of the rails and turned into somewhat of a Hari Krishna, so I’d take everything from him with a pinch of salt. I’d read “BUSINESS ADVENTURES” and “HOW TO LIE WITH STATISTICS. I might even flip a few pages through “MAKING OF THE MODERN WORLD”, “WHERE GOOD IDEAS COME FROM”, “HOW NOT TO BE WRONG: MATHEMATICAL THINKING”, and, perhaps, even “OUTLIERS”, even though I wouldn't take anything authored by Gladwell too seriously, but that’s it. This guy lost his marbles during the early 2000's
Eminem , Steve Jobs , Messi , Larry page is my inspiration Make a video on 15 THINGS YOU DON'T KNOW ABOUT EMINEM please I hope alux reply to me and this will make my time ahead great
Do all of these but there are sometimes not enough free books on the internet, my public library is free although most of the time there are none of the books that I want, and for ebooks I'm planning on buying kindle so that may help with the price on amazon
Once this list mentioned Malcom Gladwell the entire list was in doubt. The man uses anecdotes consistently to “bend” to his point. When you can easily find alternative reasoning to easily dispel them.
If you read 25 pages a day… That’s 750 pages a month (3-4 books)… Which turns into 9,000 pages a year… That’s 35+ books a year… Just by reading 25 pages a day.
Thank you for sharing this video! The link for getting a free book goes to audiable where everyone who signs in for a first time gets a free book. I have audiable and listen to books actively. Can I still get a free book from your offer?
I had to read the great gatsby in school. The first 5 chapters where difficult at the time but finally chapter 6 made things start to make since. I definitely need to re read it.
I think you should pick the books in areas you struggle first and then go to learn new things via books. Because first you need to explore yourself and measure your strengths and weaknesses and read accordingly. Suppose you already have a great job so there's no point of reading interview books and likewise.
Please tell me one book that have all about start up. Such as we are very confused what are ESOPS how to share the shares between founders or who is chairman who is CEO etc. I agree we may not get all in one book but let me know your preference of books.
I have read all of Bill's books because those were authored by him, when was still a very objective man through the 1990's and early 2000's. The only recent books that I've enjoyed were mostly from the 1980's; "ODYSSEY: From PEPSI TO APPLE", by John Sculley, which discussed new ethos for organizational structure and culture, and "Straight FROM THE GUT", by Jack Welch, which emphasized the recruiting and grooming of in-house talent to lead the different divisions and eventually the company. If you get the organizational structure and culture right and then recruit the right people for each job, then there's very little that can go wrong. The cynic and the narcissist that I am, I didn't buy into any of the stuff, but it presented very good food for thought to me help define my own organization structures and cultures for manufacturing, financial and service firms. My preference is for NASA's Matrix structure, for parallel authority of different functions over the R&D and Engineering functions, but I wonder if one could survive the present day without the Networked structure that relies on outsourced functions. The Divisional structure, in my opinion, is decentralized to a lethargic degree of comfort for non-performing divisions, which should either be micromanaged or spun-off as subsidiaries and held accountable to stricter financial standards. There's no point in giving up control, when an underlying entity is financially reliant on the parent entity. As I've aged, I've, finally, given in to decentralization or devolution because I simply don't have the time to micromanage, and that is where Jack Welch's book made a whole lot of sense. I mostly read pre-20th century leisure literature, even though I do make exceptions for some 20th century literature. I believe, the Bolshevik Revolution polluted most 20th century literature, all of which is either pathetic or antipathetic to it, and very little apathetic, to it, to see the world through a prism not influenced by that cataclysmic event. I, of course, do read all contemporary scientific, technological, business, economics, finance, infrastructure, industry, politics, geopolitics, and military literature to keep up with the trends.
To help others is to help yourself. Sowing good seeds as cause would result in marvellous fruits as effects. Giving away little would bring considerable in return.
