Can't believe the impact Making Money Your Reality Commanding Your Financial Destiny had on my mindset about wealth, It's a real shocker

If you haven't discovered 'Step Up: Success Unlocked' yet, you're bypassing a life-changing experience. This book is more than just words; it's a heartfelt guide to sculpting a life of success. It delves into the soul of discipline, routine, and how our environment shapes our destiny. With each page, it awakens a deeper understanding of motivation and the miraculous impact of daily habits. For anyone longing for a new, brighter beginning, this book is a beacon of hope and inspiration. A must-read that I wholeheartedly recommend!

Hello Clark, try reading the book 25 Money Secrets From Donald Trump, it is the book that had the most impact on me and the author goes straight to the point

This video is a game-changer. So much helpful information packed into one clip and i can say great books by the way But I personally don't like promoting anything in comments but i simply have to share with you a book called Whispers of Manifestation its a must-read book full of secret techiques and advices but it was forbidden for some reasons.. read it and thank me later.

"If a Man does not read, then he has no advantage over the man who can't read" - Mark Twain

its kinda crazy how no one talks about borlest and ebook called the hidden truths of wealth

The big game changer for me with retaining what I read is to highlight the important passages, and then after reading go back and re-read those highlights while writing them down in a notebook. I bought a notebook specifically for writing notes on the books I read, so then later I can go back again and reread my main notes from each book. I was so tired of looking back on books I've read and not being able to recall or articulate anything useful from it after a couple months went by.

"7 Habits of Highly Effective People" is for me the greatest book I've ever read.

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.

One of the best books I have ever read was Man's Search for Meaning by Victor Frankl. Two ideas that I have carried with me from that short book are: 1. No matter how bad life is objectively, you determine how you feel in that moment about it, and that is ultimate freedom, and 2. Meaning happens at the intersection between you and the world. Those are two profound ideas.

One of the best self-help books I've read recently is the Procrastination Elimination Method by John Isaac - it's the most straight forward and to the point book I've read. It's been life changing for me and I'd definitely add it to my 5 life-changign books list :) Will also checkout the 5 books Clark mentioned in this wonderful video!

So I just finished Atomic Habits. Would definitely recommend. Thanks so much for the recommendation Clark. I have already found myself implementing the strategies within such as habit stacking etc. and the change it has made to my life already is fantastic. I just found Breaking the habit of being yourself and also Attached a book you recommended from another of your videos. Both are in my to read list. Seems to me every time you make a recommendation of books they appear on the shelves of my local store suddenly a few days later. 😊 Manifestation is cool 😎 Anyway I just wanted to say thanks and keep recommending great books

Atomic Habits was the most life-changing book I read in 2020 for sure. It's just completely changed my thinking. I borrowed it from the library, and as soon as I read it, I bought it because I knew I would want to reread it, and be able to lend it out to anyone and everyone. For me, it has helped me get systems for exercise (I now exercise 2-3 times every day), cleaning (my husband I used to have lots of fights over the dishes because I've always been less clean than him, now we have a system that works well for both of us). But it also just has changed my approach to tasks. I'm always asking myself - how can I make it: easy? attractive? obvious? satisfying? I just do those little things that help grease the wheels to do the next and next steps in lots of different areas of my life, and it's been great. But I've just been reading a book that I think may be even more transformative, so highly recommend it. It's an older book, and it takes A LOT of work to actually put the practices into place, but if you have something you want to really do, I highly recommend it: Think Better by Tim Hurson. It's based on over 50 years of research into the areas of improving thinking, and is truly transformational.

"The Righteous Mind" also by Jonathan Hadit is by far my favorite book by him. It could almost be called "How Your Mind Works" or "Why You Think the Way You Do". Ok, the next one is not a self help book but it is a fascinating explanation of how things ended up as they are now. It is called "Guns, Germs and Steel".

The Comfort Crisis by Michael Easter was the most impactful book that I read in 2021. The author actually references The Happiness Hypothesis in the book as a matter of fact. The premise is simple, our lives in 2021 have become too comfortable for our own good. Most of us are overly stimulated and unchallenged and it is messing with our psychology as humans. The book goes in depth on why modern day comforts are bad for us and how we can try and combat the negative effects that go along with constantly being comfortable and constantly having our brains being stimulated by something. The book makes a lot of sense and was an inspirational read for me. I'm applying some of the principles I've learned and putting them to work in 2022 (got my 2022 misogi all planned out!). Hopefully I can be strong and stick to my plan. I highly recommend this book to anyone who is feeling unfulfilled and looking to feel more content with their life (that probably applies to everyone lol).

‘CAN’T HURT ME’ - David Goggins. GUYS A MUST REEAD!^

Meditation is the easiest and most difficult thing you will ever teach yourself.

1. The happiness hypothesis 2. Atomic habits (I highly recommend this one, habit tracking method mentioned inside is very useful) 3. I will teach you to be rich 4. Your journal 5. The subtle art of not giving a f/ Breaking the habit of being yourself

Also, I totally agree with what you said about how the journal is very effective. I've been journaling for 2 years and I'm shocked at someone of the insights and revelations I discover daily, just by writing.

Love the concept about applying what we learn instead of just using it as entertainment

Hey Clarke I just discovered your channel and I absolutely love it because it looks like you’re having a great time… And also giving us great information. Thank you so much! Keep it up

the first one is absolutely true. i thought I was depressed because of college and quit, it was my worst mistake ever, I spent a year doing absolutely nothing and it was miserable, the worst year ever. Now im in college, in the gym, playing football at saturdays, reading books and although I have a lot more "responsabilities" I can get a lot more done than when I had nothing to do, It's weird, but I'm way happier now, I feel a bit more useful.

I'm currently living with my parents and I disturb them all day by telling what I read everyday . I think unknowingly it is a great way to remember what you read. And now I’m currently about 80% through "Playbook to Millions by Grant Cardone. I have read a lot of entrepreneurial books and self improvement books, and this book is my absolute favorite. This book is extraordinary and really gets you to work extremely hard toward your goals in life and succeed at multiple different areas like personal finance, business and career. This is an absolute must buy if you need a push to get you going in business or you want more out of life.

Tip: Create a Notion database with all the knowledge you find on books, podcasts, movies, videos, etc. That would be like your brain and you could always have that knowledge at your disposal. When you write stuff you remember it easily. But organize and tag it well. Then create a database of all your projects and ideas and apply that knowledge

Man's Search for Meaning - Viktor Frankl

My #1 life changing book so far HANDS DOWN is How to Win Friends and Influence People by: Dale Carnegie. Totally changed the way I interacted with everyone in my life in really positive ways. Thanks for a wonderful video :)

Thank you Clark for what you're doing for us with your channel and classes. And a very deeply thank you to the great people here in the coment section that each recommend and give out very powerful advice. Thank you to each one of you amazing people

Man's search for meaning - amazing legendary book.

"Don't cheat guys, don't look" Also shows all of them in Thumbnail

Speaking of being out of alignment with your identity, I'm in the middle of "The Way of Integrity." Which is about finding the way back to your true self. Proving to be a must read so far.

These are GREAT recommendations! Exactly what I was seeking to continue my personal development! Thanx so much! ✨

“You cannot be protected from the things that frighten you and hurt you, but if you identify with part of your being that is responsible for transformation, then you are always equal or more than equal of the things that frighten you” Keep you head up 💜

4:40 it's so true " every action is a vote to the person you want to become"

I seriously love this list of recommendations. It's remarkably valuable and varied.

"Breaking the habit of being yourself" is a life changing book. I highly recommend "You are the placebo" and "Becoming supernatural" next.

The point you were making about the very first book makes SO much sense during the pandemic.. I hate zoom classes but the second I have nothing to do is when I truly feel miserable. So ultimately I'm happy I go to college even during this time because its so much better than having no obligations at all

"Daring Greatly" by Brené Brown is a fantastic book. She studies shame/vulnerability and this book lays out how those play a role in every aspect of our life (who we are, how we interact with others, how we respond to situations, etc.).

HIGHLY Suggest “The Elephant In the Brain” by Robin Hanson. Understanding why brains are motivated at a fundamental level really helped me start seeing the systems of humanity and understand why people behave as they do.

The best read so far in my life was "The Life‑Changing Magic of Tidying Up" by Marie Kondo! No jokes, that helps a ton not only with decluttering your home, but also your mind and for being a kinder person to yourself. I had a terrible habit of being a hoarder and wasn't allowing myself to let go of stuff, but Marie's book helped me greatly to change my mindset. It works like a magic :D

Just to let you know, I stumbled on your video last weekend (September 2021) and I'm hooked on the recommendations you've made. I let the authors know that I found their books on your reviews. A serendipitous moment is really changing 2021 for me.

The Power of Now by Eckhart Tolle. Highly recommend this one.

Love this video, one of my favourite books of the year is tiny habits because it helped me reorganise certain behaviours in my life that weren’t was not serving me! Great content, loving the book review

The top 10 books that changed my life forever 1)The power of now 2) thinking fast and slow 3)atomic habits 4)your brain on porn 5)mindset 6)ego is the enemy 7)the 5am club 8) how win friends and influence people 9)reclaim your heart 10)the alchemist

I can relate to all the books! now I feel like we need to do something, short breaks are fine but not ultimate freedom. Love them! Thanks! Clark

Uh huh. Clark, those glasses, that haircut... Your secret's safe with me Kal El.

The Six Pillars of Self-Esteem was recommended to me in Human Element training and I'm reading it now. Also, the 7 Habits of Highly Effective People was very helpful for me.

The first book is incredibly insightful and tells me more of what Ive known more and more and seen consistently, however this really connected it in a way I never thought of

MY TOP BOOKS WOULD HAVE TO BE 1.THE ROAD LESS TRAVELED BY M. SCOTT PECK 2.THE STRANGEST SECRET BY EARL NIGHTINGALE 3.THE MAGIC OF THINKING BIG BY DAVID SCHWARTZ

I felt the exact same about book #1! I read it a couple of months ago just to give it a shot and ended up liking it more than I expected 😂 it had some great points!

Great recomendations! I haven't read two, but I just added them to my cart. Thanks and keep up the great work.

Great inspo thank you for your recommendations , for me I believe reading is not just enough". Take the action! Put your newfound knowledge to use. I read for a long time but Action made my life change in no time ( generally and mostly financially) That's my two cents on this

A Mind of Your Own by Kelly Brogan - I have heard great things about this book. It is how food and our own digestive system has such a big influence on our mind. A lot of what we eat can make us less or more depressed so I am looking forward to dive into this book.

So glad Dr.Joe made number one! His meditations have changed my life. I actually crave my meditation time every day because I feel so good after.

The meditations - Marcus Aurelius - highly recommend

Just finished Atomic Habits, that you mentioned. A definite reread, reread, and APPLY, as you mention. Will be checking out The Daily Stoic soon too. Love your other ideas!

Just reading 'Breaking the habit..' and it made me so happy to see it on your list. 2021 will be my year! :)

So correct on the first book. Gardening is so healing

I already had 2 of these books and loved them, so I went ahead and read the other 3 on your list and they really expanded my horizons. I'd love to hear some of your other suggestions!!

'Losing Control Finding Serenity' by Daniel A Miller is the BEST book I've ever read. I never realised how much controlling behaviours run our lives. If you struggle with anxiety and stress especially it can be a life changer.

@Clark Could not have said it better myself. Keep up the good work.

im so glad i found this channel!! will definitely be looking into these books

"Personality isn't permanent" is one of my favourites...

I agree with reading one book 5 times over 5 books 1 time - each pass brings in new detail and things can indeed be missed the first 4 times. Also many interconnected ideas become way more apparent on that 2nd pass!

Clark! I just starting watching your videos today. I appreciate the content. You're intelligent

I have only discovered you Channel this year Clark, bit its been very helpful so far. Thank you.

"The Way of the Superior Man" was a game changer for me. Way beyond my love life. Honestly, it could be a great segway from the "Subtle Art of not Given a F***" given the nature of the message to always strive to feed that inner being. Stop letting the dusty, dirty, and weak men (thoughts) gain entry to the gate of your mind.

Read 3 out of 5 and one was already on my "to read" list. They are all great!

I came across this video a month ago. I had never read a book from start to finish. You motivated me and I choose to read atomic habits. I loved it and I am going to continue reading books thank you so much !

Clark, you have a very vibrant personality. Fully enjoy how you address your viewers. You're a riot!

The best books I've read this year are 1. Naked Economics by Charles Whelan because it gave me an overall understanding of how economics works and from there so many other books and conversations made sense to me. 2. Principles by Ray Dalio, I'm still reading it now but it's already changing my life

2:00 talking about adding constrains. Can really relate. Quit my corporate consulting job to become a solo-entrepreneur, thinking total freedom would be awesome. But too much freedom just makes your head spin.

One of the books that made a big impression that I read in 2021 was Blessed Are The Weird by Jacob Norby. I love two things I wrote in my journal - * Weird people have always been the ones who paid attention to the beauty they felt inside and tried to do something with it after the rock bottom demands of existence were met. * The only success now is living and creating a work-of-art life unique, rich with meaning, naked of anything we don't care about and being ruthless about carving out something absolutely real from a world that has gorged itself on fakeness and become critically ill from it.

I read Atomic Habits this year, what a game changer! I recommend this to everybody as the #1 book to read

Breaking the Habit of Being Yourself is one of my favorites, I've listened to the 18 hour audiobook two or three times. I recommend it to all of my personal training and coaching clients. I have many that I love and recommend, high on my list is You are a Badass at Making Money by Jen Sincero. Another audiobook that I have listened to multiple times, I believe I just finished a fifth listen. I completely agree with you, read one book five times as opposed to five books one time, we learn through repetition. Thanks Clark!

Atomic Habits is so good! good job at explaining identity vs goals! I really like reading Ramit's posts although haven't read the book yet

Bessel van der Kolk M.D. The Body Keeps the Score: Brain, Mind, and Body in the Healing of Trauma is the book I want to read because I’ve gone through a lot of traumatic events that I believe have held me back and I want to understand it and learn how to apply ways to better/heal myself. I’ve tried therapy but I know that I’m very self-aware so something in me tells me that I need to look inside me instead of looking and asking for the answers of my problems

Love the video and the content! 1 big change I've made this year is around reading! As someone who has not read very much at all in the last few years, the small changes and small "votes" I've been making are to read just a few pages a day. And now I've finished more books in the first 4 months of 2022, than I have in the last 3 years. It's the small steps that push us forward!

It’s crazy that people still underestimate the power of reading❕

1- Extreme Ownership. 2- Mastery. 3- How to Win Friends and Influence Others

I watched your synopsis of atomic habits, took notes, wrote out a plan and implemented all the changes the next day. I felt so good by the end of the day I continued the pattern the next. That was a month ago. The past 30 days my mood, mental health, relationships and overall life has dramatically transformed. Self development books are amazing tools if actually APPLIED! Thank you for sharing 🙏

I'll recommend something another coach said several years ago and it was so simple but still an outstanding idea, read a fictional book to learn something. There are some great books that are fiction but can still teach you something you need to know, there are some fictional characters who's main trait is discipline, some can teach you about the grind, some how to take care of your well being and not stress. Don't be too hung up on the form, if its a 1000 pages book by a famous author or a couple of pages comic, as long as it can teach its good.

awsome video!

Atomic Habits is a fabulous book, and I should seriously be receiving commissions for how often I recommend it. Also: Clark, you totally called me out with your thought on when does education simply become entertainment. I’m guilty, and that theme will help me to stop doomscrolling the news app and get to work. Subscribed.

Love it man! So much truth you have spit out here.

Prayer in the morning is the best meditation ever. But thank you for all the other books!

I am reading "the happiness hypothesis" and it is truly eye opening.

I would recommend Robin Sharma The 5 AM club Love his writing and humble personality..

This is one of the people who gave me the courage to start my RU-vid channel 2 months ago about self development and now have 74 subs and almost 55 hour watch time. I know it’s not comparable with others but I’m still proud I started because I’ve been learning so much lessons that I couldn’t have learned without getting started in the 1st place

I just finished Atomic Habits couple of days ago, loved it. It has quite a few practical examples, highly reccomend

Very interesting! I just finished reading an autobiography "Dan Eldon: The Art of Life". This guy was all about journaling. You went ahead and added a journal to your list of books to read and it actually feels like some kind of cosmic sign pointing to this form of introspection. I'm on board and I'm heading over to your other video "The Ultimate Guide To Keeping a Journal". Thanks for the inspiration.

Along with a pizza stone and advice to socialize with inexpensive pizza/game nights, I give my most life-changing books to newlyweds: 1. Clutter's Last Stand 2. How to Win Friends and Influence People 3. How to Stop Worrying and Start Living 4. The Millionaire Next Door 5. UnDo It 6. You Are Not Your Brain 7. Home Evenings for Newlyweds 8. The Power of Stillness. Yes, a stack of books is a weird wedding gift, but the possibilities will last a lot longer and have more meaning than a blender or towels. I invite them to read and discuss the books together to form their own family culture. Learning to grow together instead of wasting time watching mindless television in the evenings has been even more life-expanding for my husband and me than the books themselves. We'll give some of yours a try, too. Thx.

There are 2 books that have made a huge difference in my life: 1. "Healing The Shame That Binds You" - by John Bradshaw 2. "No More Mr. Nice Guy" - by Dr. Robert Glover (by the way, this book has absolutely nothing to do with being mean or being a jerk) The above 2 books are excellent to help those that have emotional or psychological issues. Both books are a must read. If I had to list 2 other books that are almost good as the 2 above, it would be these: 1. "Feel The Fear and Do It Anyway" - by Dr. Susan Jeffers 2. "You Can Heal Your Life" - by Louise L. Hay

Atomic Habits is by far my favorite book I've read in the past few years. One to tag along with it would be "Start With Why" by Simon Sinek. It dives into the bullseye of what you mentioned with Atomic Habits about finding your "why"

Always looking to add to my reading list. Thanks for the recs!

Thanks for the review on the books. I'm going to add them to my list to read in 2022.

dude this guys is amazing!! so many positive ways to make your daily life better

just found this video. I literally bought Atomic Habits last weekend. It is my next read after I finish the Lives of Stoics by Ryan Holiday. Also Mark Manson's book "Everything is F***: a book about hope" is pretty great as well.

The Motivation Manifesto is a book that I never see recommended but it’s the one that I’ve been reading to get myself back I to the habit of reading consistently and it’s quite honestly the BEST book I’ve ever read thus far. I’ve purchased Atomic Habits recently and I’ll be reading it next but the Motivation Manifesto is definitely a book that deserves more credit in its innate message to the masses that it pertains to.

Thanks for this video. I read already Manson's book and Clear's book and I can agree they are really life changing.
