Thanks for watching gang ❤I'm curious, what would you do if money were no object?

@sandeshk.c.7313 6 месяцев назад

Be back home with my family

@no-handle-for-you-youtube 6 месяцев назад

I’d go to MIT, if I got in :) Or maybe settle down somewhere in Japan and just spend my days reading and wandering around rural Japan.

@syeeeed 6 месяцев назад

Follow and find my true happiness which is creating content, helping others and finding a way to combine it all - knowing that there are no 'major obstacles' to worry about such as the mortgage. And ultimately 'giving' is my driving force - so do that to the max, in whatever capacity I can.

It’s funny that you say that most people won’t watch this video till the end… For me, this is the best video on your channel. Ever. It’s a lot more thought provoking and helpful than any other video. I’d love if you keep doing this.

@aliabdaal 6 месяцев назад

Wow, thank you!

@annavoytenko 6 месяцев назад

Same. If one really enjoys the personality of a content creator (or anyone, actually) they would watch/ read / listen to any format. For example, the best thing I watched this fall is @KaraandNate biking across America 6-part series 4 hours long 😂. A long-time huge fan, so I watch everything. Same with Ali. It's like talking (in our case listening) to a friend for hours. Best thing!

@jdreamhunter 6 месяцев назад

I second this! This video is different because it feels like listening to a friend and not necessarily learning from a teacher. A different way of connection, more personal. And also for me it's interesting to hear how people think when they are on a higher level when basic financial needs are met. Still learning a lot about life from casual talking videos like this.

@AnitaGoaWellBeing 6 месяцев назад

I was going to say the same actually. It’s refreshing. When I heard Ali say in a Huel ad that he uses Huel because he doesn’t have time to make a healthy meal I was like “Whaaat??! All this productivity and you don’t have time to make a healthy meal?.” 🤯 With this video Ali you’ve redeemed yourself. The internet needs more of your new way of thinking 😊🎉

I have this RU-vid account for over 12 years now. I have never left a comment on a video, not even once. But this video was so real! I felt it so hard. So inspiring I had to let you know you touched me deeply. and you made me think in a new way. Thank you! I'm happy to see you're true to yourself making that decision to post whenever you feel it's right. I respect you and your journey. I'm not even sure you'll leaving money on the table. Good luck on your new journey.

@abner_horn 5 месяцев назад

"This is not the type of video that the algorithm will make go viral" - well, this is exactly the type of video that I love! And maybe the algorithm is what made RU-vid so worse in the last few years. Please, keep videos like this one - the type you do because you feel like - coming!

@IAmMarkManson 6 месяцев назад

Bravo, sir. True wealth is closing the gap between what you want and what you have. Most people don't realize that cuts both ways. It's not just about having all the stuff you want, but it's also about not having stuff you realize you don't want. Enjoy the travels!

@MdrnMindfulness 6 месяцев назад

Very true, Mark. I'm watching your "What nobody tells you about getting rich" video next. In my life I've been dirt poor as a graduate student and comfortably middle class, and I can honestly say there are times when I miss my dirt poor days. Adjusting to new money means noting how our expectations and habits change too, and remembering to prioritize what is most important to us.

@Ruseik 6 месяцев назад

Wow! You have summarized it into a single sentence.

@codingblade2634 6 месяцев назад

My summary: Basically being a god (polytheist), has the wisdom, and understanding of everything, then this reasoning mind is satisfied. Mind craving (problem solving what other people surfers, an emotion connection/relation with other people's pain, understanding, wisdom sharing). Another from of dopamine. (you don't really have a control of anything, you gonna die anyways, time concerned Limited amount of feel good thing you can do in a time, anything can happened at any moment nor anyone has that control, that is it self is ****not feel good thing**** )

@judegrindvoll8467 6 месяцев назад

Yes!!!! 100% this! The first thing anyone should when they get money is ask themselves what can I get rid of? (Debt, mortgage, job you hate, etc) what do I NEED to immediately improve my quality of life? How do I protect my future (property, pensions, insurance, etc? Then, what fun things do I want? The problem is a lot of people skip the first 3 steps and go straight to the fun stuff!

I honestly don’t watch your channel all that often lately. I’ve been really burnt out so I have strayed away from a lot of productivity stuff. But I saw your thumbnail and title and felt inclined to watch. I am so glad that I did! The things that you said about the kind of life you want to live and the authenticity is exactly how I’ve been feeling about life. It’s so wonderful to hear your perspectives, especially about finding happiness in the journey because that’s really what it’s all about. Thank you ❤

@murk.mp4760 5 месяцев назад

I love how raw and unscripted this was. An accumulation of all your hard work, knowledge, and wisdom and being vulnerable out there. No flashy editing, no overly-structured (though very appreciated in other videos), no biases (sponsorships). The constant life questions he gets to himself, though he doesn’t have the true answers, he, through experiences, comes up with his own conclusions. Best video thus far.

@ahmedthecreator 6 месяцев назад

It feels good to see you reconnect with yourself again. As a longtime viewer, I've always seen your thirst and ambition for money and success as inspiring, but also somehow self imprisoning. Nobody has all the answers figured out. But I've felt your hyper focus on productivity and output ever since you went full-time with RU-vid change your overall energy and demeanor. Somehow in this video, I'm seeing the flicker of light in your eyes again of a man who is realizing what's really important. Of someone who wants to be genuine and is in touch with his mortality and the mortality of those around him. This has ironically been my favorite video of yours in years for this reason. I can tell you are beginning to recognize the ways you tether your identity and ego to the things you've achieved, and are in the process of letting that go in favor of the things that actually matter. Would you still love Ali Abdaal even if he never went to med school, had a big RU-vid channel, or any of the other things? I sure hope so: because we would still love that person, too. Best of luck to you on this journey, and to everyone paddling along in life.

@oscar 6 месяцев назад

So much value in this video - and I relate to many of the points you make. RU-vid is an amazing platform, but as soon as it turns into a 'job' where you have to work all hours to create new videos, it means you are not actually living on your own terms. My mentality is that I didn't leave a 9 to 5 in order to replace it with a 9 to 5 RU-vid channel. As you say, RU-vid is amazing when you can do it PART TIME - and so with my channel, courses and business, I've set them up so that they can function without me running them 24/7. Sure I'd be making a lot more money if I posted once per week, but posting once per month has allowed me to live life on my terms, travel the world (like yourself I travel around 9 months of the year) and appreciate the world we live in. As you say, its okay to leave money on the table; you can always make more money but you can't get back your time. For me, I like to spend my time travelling, meeting people and exploring the world. Thats worth much more than extra $$$ per year. Really glad to see that you are on a similar wavelength and excited to see where your travels take you :)

Ali, if you stopped making all videos and made only stuff like this, I’d still watch you. Videos like these add soooo much value to my life and it’s literally like a therapy session. Even though I’m super early in my business journey, SO much of this is relatable and helpful. Wishing you health, fulfilment and love in the years to come and also the courage to stay true to yourself.

@lesphd 6 месяцев назад

So weird you said that no one was going to watch it until the end! I simply loved this video, it is like catching up with a friend in a very informal format. For the same reason out of all your content I prefer your podcasts (and in the audio format). The guests are so diverse but the interviews always turn out to be super inspiring. Feels like a mentoring session. Thanks for the update and good luck with this new lifestyle!

I'm losing my job in a week and have a slight opportunity to build my path to chase my passion and be able to be happier and make something out of photography. I, of course, have a need for sustainability in my life, and goals and needs, but your words and practical approach to where we are headed and the one life we've got has inspired me to allow myself the tools I need to make it happen, but also to let go of the things I accumulate that drag me down mentally. Deeply inspired for a strong 2024. Thanks a lot, Ali.

🎉 CONGRATULATIONS you’re one of the few who’s actually fulfilled the dream of the 4 Hr. WORK WEEK! That was the POINT along! Wasn’t it? Think about it. The next book that you WILL write is the one the one we have all been waiting for - concerning what do we do with the other 36 hours? Have fun.

@KharmaMedic 6 месяцев назад

Watched this video to the end as I always do! Love them so much as it gives me a lot of insight into your own thoughts but also gives me a chance to reflect on myself. The relief I felt when I finished medical school and told myself I’m going to make my videos on my own terms, when I feel like it, and leave money on the table, was huge. I’ve had more time for my relationships, friends and family, and maybe most importantly myself. It sounds like you’ve reached a similar conclusion and I’m really happy for you man. Maybe I’ll soon join you on a digital nomad year of my own 😉 Keep doing you my guy, you’ve provided infinite value to me and hundreds of thousands of others and you deserve every bit of self fulfilment and personal happiness for it.

Thanks for sharing this video with us. I’ve been watching your videos because of your transparency and honesty. It’s rare on RU-vid to find a person like you. It might have been scary to show your weakness or your thoughts to people. But this kind of video gives us more connections and inspirations as well. I’ll keep supporting you buying a book, joining RU-vid academy, and watching upcoming videos! Stay healthy and live in the moment :) Thank you Ali!

@christysnb 5 месяцев назад

The first video I found of you was similar to this. I subscribed right away. It was light, and unique, and profound, and real in a world where everything was curated and “content-y”. Your content is amazing and I love it, but it usually gets added to my “Watch Later” list (because I know there’s value and things to learn there) vs just stopping me in my tracks and pulling me in and making me feel connected on a basic human level. *This* right here is why I follow you. This was and is beautiful, Ali. Thanks so much for sharing. PS. I’m about to preorder your book.

"Many people forget that the goal is not money, but to spend your day as you wish." Very genuine video. Watched from start to finish and I must say, I highly appreciate you and your authenticity. It's funny because as out of the ordinary as this video seems, this zoom out and refocus is so relatable and recognizable from every creator, yet no one sees the value in addressing it this transparently. Very admirable of you to not only disregard the fear of potentially losing viewers by announcing you're stepping back, but also recognizing the value of honesty and actually just changing your viewers expectations so that they always receive exactly what they expected. 👏 From a forever subscriber. Love your content!!

@Nonthawat1955 6 месяцев назад

This is one of the best RU-vid videos I have watched in years! It is NOT often I will sit through a 45 minute YT video, and feel thankful that I sat, watched, and listened throughout. The is raw Ali Abdaal being Ali Abdaal. Everything you said is correct. Well done Ali! 👏👏👏👏👏 My thought at the end was, Ali towards the end of each year you should publish a video just like this, and talk about whatever has impacted you the most over the previous 12 months. You are huge inspriration to your legion of fans, and I include myself. I am so looking forward to getting my pre-ordered book at the end of the year. Now go and enjoy yourself. Have a fabulous December, and have a Happy New Year!

@varunpotbhare6787 6 месяцев назад

One of the best videos on your channel. To be honest, most of us see through the sponsor videos as they have a commercial vibe. The vibe of this video is so different, so genuine and something that is needed in today’s rushed lifestyle. Keep this up Ali…

@no-handle-for-you-youtube 6 месяцев назад

Congratulations on your recent realizations, you seem really happy and fulfilled. Whatever you decide on posting or doing, there will be people watching and reading your content.

It's okay to just be yourself. I have been following you for years, and this video has come at the right time for me. It's like seeing my old friend growing, and your self-reflection also triggers me to reflect on my own life, especially as it's year-end. It's a good time to rethink the new year and what we truly want to achieve. I simply wish for you to enjoy your life and always feel good!

@inhale.exhale.2527 5 месяцев назад

it is ok to be yourself, i agree, but who is? really. unpacking this has been my life's journey and at 63 i can saybthat the key is our very early years - not exclusivly, for as long as we remain pliable we can be changed. but those early years, they are the making of us given unconditional love and a home that is a safe place to fail. 🙏

@shahbaazali6401 5 месяцев назад

This is the kind of videos we need Ali. Thanks a lot for being so honest, vulnerable - it makes a ton of difference to so many of us who have the same thoughts, We chase entrepreneurship for Freedom, and in a weird paradox , we give up freedom to be better entrepreneurs. Thank you for addressing it, and helping us feel heard

@IATH12 6 месяцев назад

I love how vulnerable you were in this video. I love that you showed raw emotion at your friend’s health hardship. I love that you showed us how human you were because it is so easy, especially with you, to just assume you are always on top of things and productive 100% of the time and even easier to forget that you are human so thank you for the reminder. This was one of my favorite videos that you’ve made in quite some time.

He's one of the few people who are honest about the "silly"/"common sensical" realisations he makes over time and puts in the effort to discuss how these realisations shift his perspective on different matters.

@patriciaalbertmartinez1578 5 месяцев назад

“You’ll be happy once you get there.” This quote relate to me so much because it really keeps our eyes focused on the price we seek at the end rather than enjoying the ride to get there. Why can’t we give ourselves permission to breathe and experience how life just beautifully unfolds in front of us? It’s crazy that in the end of it all, we all have our own path to pursuit of happiness and it’s never really about the money. Thanks Ali! 👏

I rarely get past 5 minutes of a video, but this one… this one I watched until the very end. Unscripted, honest, and deeply personal. I can sense that you still have doubts, and it wouldn’t be natural if you didn’t. “Leaving money on the table” is scary when we live in a culture that focuses on wealth and material things. You have sold all your belongings and there is no turning back. Explore the world, explore yourself. Let the pressure to perform consistently go and I am certain anything that you create here on out will be more fulfilling for you and beneficial to others than anything you have created in the last 7 years. Looking forward to seeing where you land after Tulum :)

I’ve been following you since 2019, when my channel literally did not have any subcriber (it reached 700k+ now). You are the only one that share stuff I find relatable. It's lonely and confusing growing my own RU-vid channel to the point of 200k 300k+ and didn't know what was the right next thing to do, and you helped me with tons of pro advice in your videos and newsletter. I'm happy that you keep your authenticity and honestly share your thoughts on money, it really had me reflecting my approach to this content creating thing. I am kinda looking forward to the phase where you have your own family and kids and share your insight, cuz I gave birth to a wonderful baby girl 5 months ago and am struggling with balancing feel-good-productivity and childcare. 😬 Anyway, wish you the best. Can't wait to read your book. ❤

I’ve been watching you almost from the start and I’m excited that you’re going to keep evolving. I’ll be watching. But the way, I’m 70 years old and you’ve helped me think about ambition, productivity and life goals. Today’s video was really helpful, again. Change is exciting.

Hi Ali. I discovered you 2 days ago and you have really made an impact on my life. I just now pre-ordered your book. I am so excited about what you'll be sharing in the book. I also just finished watching your 44 minute video about your decision to change your life focus. I am so happy for you for digging down deep within yourself and realizing what really matters and taking actions on living that truth. I plan on meeting you face to face one day. Please let me know if you're going to be in the USA in 2024. By the way....your book is going to be on the New York Times Bestsellers Book List. I can see it even going beyond what you can ever imagine in sales. You are open and honest and that is what this world always need more of. Someone like you who cares and delivers to people like me that needs what you give. I look forward to hopefully becoming a part of your community. In the meantime enjoy your travels and have no doubt that you are truly blessed and leaving money on the table will bring you more wealth. Take care Ali.

Ali, I just wish you well. May good things come to you. Thank you for being an inspiring presence on the internet (and soon in book stores!). I always feel good energy and good intentions when I see and hear you. I think you've been a great support for many people trying to build their lives. Wishing you blessings, safety, and lots of adventure for your digital nomad time!

For me, this is definitely the most valuable and inspiring video I saw from you so far 😍 so authentic and calming ❤

@rajjo007 6 месяцев назад

I can’t even explain why but this video made me emotional. As someone who has watched your videos since a long time, I just want to say thank you for consistently sharing your knowledge and thoughts. I’ll be waiting eagerly for your uploads even if they are fewer and farther apart :)

Hey Ali, just a thought - maybe you need to reframe your thinking around how you view ‘spamming’ your audience on social media about the book? Your 50th social post about the book is still only the first time many people will hear about it and those people would be forever grateful that you made the 50th post because it may just be a book that changes their entire lives - knowing you and the value you already provide, it likely will be! So please don’t hold back from sharing the valuable resource you’ve spent so much time crafting, due to your own feeling that it’s ‘spammy’ because by holding back, you’re potentially keeping the book hidden from someone who really needs it. ❤️

I have been passing your video to so many of my friends. The courage to leave money on the table, esp for high net-worth individuals, and be good to your health and relationships is such a profound idea that is not often discussed in our culture. Thank you. ❤

I can’t express enough of how appreciative i am of you always being so honest, open and vulnerable! I absolutely love this video but i feel like you def come off just as honest and open with a lot that you do, especially on the podcast! Thank you for everything you do and really happy that you are doing it the way you want to, living your life and loving it! 🫶🏽

@merelcuperus9066 6 месяцев назад

Epic video Ali. I journaled along with the video sitting on my couch, thinking how your words could apply to my own life. Consciously choosing for leaving money on the table for the sake of mental health/family/joy/pleasure/fun/rest is something that’s underestimated. Thanks for your time and sharing your thoughts and it’s beautiful to see how it resonates with so many of us. Love to see where your journey takes you!

This video touched my heart to the core. I've been an entrepreneur for 15 years and sometimes, I felt like slowing down. I turn 63 tomorrow. I just ordered your book. Wishing you all the best. I hope that you will visit Sydney one day and do a talk.

This was my favorite video after years of watching. I went through a health scare, and you’ve nicely conveyed what’s really important in life. I often tell people to look at me. And really ask yourself are you doing all the things you want to do, because you might not be able to “later.”

Love how open he is about everything. I have recently rediscovered this channel and it has really helped with how lost I have felt and helping me put steps in place to figure out how I can live the life that I want. Tying to shake this feeling like something is missing and you videos have really helped

@majeedatabdulmajeed1834 5 месяцев назад

This is your best video so far. It didn’t feel like school or class or me taking notes from some teacher. This felt like a conversation, one where I got to hear the feelings and the thoughts of a very admirable person. My personal favorite video for the year 2023

@Copacaxi 6 месяцев назад

Thank YOU! At the core of everything you’ve expressed/thought through in this video, your excitement for life is so clear and heartwarming. The most valuable thing imo is control over your own time, and you’ve made the active decision to reclaim that. Thank you for sharing!!

Ali I have been following your channel for sometime now. It inspired me to attend medical school, now I’m in 3rd year. Your channel has taught me so many life lessons. Do what your heart wants. You’re truly and inspiration.

@Tony-Yates 6 месяцев назад

This video is another level to anything on RU-vid. Relatable, vulnerable, inspiring in so many ways. Watched you for many years (2019) and to see you arrive at this point gives me as a viewer a sense of pride! I sold my company, and had the big health scare all within 2 years. So relatable. I needed to see this video. Thanks Ali

@osmanmohamed2422 6 месяцев назад

Yet this is going to be the most watched video in this channel. I enjoyed watching this channel for three years now and I learned a lot of tools and information, but there’s something about this video makes it the best for me. I’m glad to see you living a fulfilling life while still making such impact on others.

@darlenemichele5625 5 месяцев назад

Thank you for your authenticity. It’s what will keep your subscribers coming back for more. We’re tired of algorithms. They cause people to feel they have jump through hoops like a trained seal for it’s piece of fish. They suck. Good for you for deciding to leave the circus. Enjoy this new chapter! ❤

As someone said, this is the most transparent video I have watched on your channel and definitely one of the best one. You have literally impacted my life in a super positive way. Whenever I sit to work I have 'Study with Ali Abdaal' on my phone so I can fully focus on my task. It helps a lot since I have ADHD. You taking your own advice and making that decision in this video itself is something to be appreciated! All I can say is Bravo mate! Keep growing📈

@esroberts819 5 месяцев назад

Thank you for saying what you said. I’ve been wrestling with the money vs time/joy/fulfillment issue for a few years now and what you expressed so honestly and transparently resonates and inspires me to figure out what that really means for me. It inspires me to start taking action towards that direction every morning. I love your plan and look forward to hearing more videos like this.

@user-kl7tt5dx3v 6 месяцев назад

I really enjoyed watching every second of this video. It was like a therapy session for me too! I'm really glad to hear such good advice from you. It's important to figure it out WHEN you put something on the table because, at some points, you are a little late! I hope you spend your life exactly the way you wish.

@cpmc5400 5 месяцев назад

Glad to hear you take such joy from teaching. Legitimately owe a lot of my law degree to you and your study guides. Was searching (procrastinating) at a time I was struggling with it, great coursework and assignments but always struggled with exams, and found your spaced repitition and active recall videos. Was almost an immediate 180 in results and I'm now 3 years into my career. Will now live vicariously through your travels, enjoy!

dang this made me nostalgic. i remember subbing after your early ipad video. i dont watch every video, but its still cool to see your thumbnails and to see your progress and your journey. you've provided me with good knowledge and im sure you have to many others. idk why i wrote this but i hope things go well on your journey and ill still be tuning in. you've always been a friendly and helpful and insightful person. thanks and kudos to that

@sara_xueluvxvlue 5 месяцев назад

Ali, I've been following your journey for a couple of years now, and I genuinely admire your "feel-good" mindset towards things like money and deadlines. I hope you learn far more from your new experiences as a digital nomad - we will keep supporting you!

@cosettebeaudin2034 5 месяцев назад

Your videos have guided my ambition so much, I'm a first generation university grad. This is the first time I've commented but I just had to lyk that I've been consistently watching your content for the last 4 years. Your advice being happiness oriented has been instrumental in keeping my feet on the ground while I achieve my life goals:) Listening to your life perspective is what I imagine having an older brother would be like, thanks for always being yourself! Soso happy to see you continue pursuing enjoyment.

@lxzilx 6 месяцев назад

i absolutely loved this video. As a subscriber since your med school days, this is by far one of the raw-rest piece you've produced. And even though its unscripted and long form-ed, in true Ali Abdaal vibes - I still learnt loads. Glad to see you authentic and honest and raw! Cheers to your enlightenment and personal growth!
