Why I read a book a day (and why you should too): the law of 33% | Tai Lopez | TEDxUBIWiltz 

The fact that nobody talks about the forbidden book Making Money Your Reality speaks volumes about how people are stuck in a trance

You know what I like more than materialistic things? KNOWLEDGE.

It's not about how many books you go through,it's about how many books go through you. -Anonymous

Stop seeing a book as a onetime event, see a book as a friend. Thank you so much Tai, you gave me a new perspective towards books.

"I know I got more money than you but you know what's more important than materialistic things?" "*KNAAAWLEDGE!!!*" "That's why I have a library in my garage!"

I’ve been a bookworm since childhood. It still is one of my fave ways of exploring. I was always fascinated by the power of language and how words are used to impact people. I was awed by the way authors played with words to express their beliefs and ideas, not just to describe events. I sincerely believe that reading does help you broaden your horizon but you shouldn’t rely on books only (like many people do). The best way is to try, test, do mistakes, try again, go through lessons and experiences of life. Especially when it comes to books around business & mindset. I’ve noticed that nowadays many people read for the sake of showing off. Or they read a ton of books for the sake of ticking it of the list. This knowledge is worth nothing if you’re not applying it. Reading books for the sake of reading? Not my thing. Read books not out of FOMO (fear of missing out) just because someone recommended you a great book. I used to read A LOT of books and always thought it was a good thing. I was trying to absorb maximum knowledge because I thought only that way I will be able to change something in my life. The reason was lack of confidence in my own powers. I was trying to fill the emptiness within by borrowing someone else’s experience. But the best experience comes from living your own path, exploring yourself & your strengths. Go out and try things. Do things your way. Even if it’s not mentioned in the books. Test it out. If it doesn’t work, that’s an experience to remember. What if it does work though?

After watching this, I now have a Lamborghini in my garage while reading a book from my bookshelves for some KNAWLEDGE

Never trust a man who thinks it's a good idea to mix a suit with trainers. That's my mentoring done.

I was expecting him to come out and say "hey guys just bought this new Lamborghini here, fun to drive up here in the Hollywood hills"

Corrected Title: Why you need a Mentor to be successful

Prosperity is not about money. Success is not about wealth.

I came here just to read the comment section

read more, be perseverant and find someone better than you and copy them. Theres the video in

I mainly watched this whole talk because I was waiting for the part where he talks about reading a book a day. Then when he finally gets to that part, you find out that he, in fact, does not read a book a day, rather he kind of skims a book a day to see if there's anything in it that he deems important. Basically, this was a platform for his ego and I really didn't learn anything.

Everybody wants the good life but not everybody is willing to read to get it. Great advice!

How does TED partner with a scam artist like that? He has been proven to not own any of the luxury items he shows off in his "inspirational" videos. Why hasn't TED deleted this yet?

I knew in life what I wanted, I wanted to be rich as balls so I sent a letter to my grandpa asking him to be rich as balls

No use of reading those books, if you don't apply them in real life.

Amazing advice. Worth watching and listening to. "Everybody wants the good life but not everybody is willing to read to get it"

just came for the "here in my garage comments"

Wow, people seriously hate this guy!

“It is is better to know one book intimately than a hundred superficially.” - Donna Tartt, The Secret History

This is a very western view of "The Good Life" which is profoundly flawed if you want to discover true inner peace. Although I agree that attaining wisdom is helped by reading. But its not how much you read - its WHAT you read and its WHAT you practise.

When you get a Thai Lopez add before a Thai Lopez video

Inb4, white screen lifts up and *BAM* .... Lamborghini, and, you know it! A book shelf full of books.

This video is the reason why I started a book club and read one book a week. I haven't found my mentor yet, but I'm happy with books. Maybe I should be humble, persevere, toughen up to read all the books in the library.

I must say that I am pleased with the comment section. I can't explain why, but I got negative vibes from this character the first time I saw him in that Ad that everyone has seen where you see him boasting about his new Lambo! I don't see one positive comment here ! YES!!! I LOVE IT! I have restored my faith and hope for humanity!

Let me tell you why I read a comment a day (and why you should too): the law of youtube.

I wonder what would happen if all of the people who use their time to perpetuate these myths that Tai isn't who he says he is started following his advice, how much better and more fulfilled their life would be, because speaking from experience of going through Tai's programmes it will probably make a big difference in their lives.

Aristotle would be disappointed with this guy's definition of "Good".

What a great talk by TAI LOPEZ ♥️ Thank you TEDx. I really love this platform 🥰

I have been SCAMMED into purchasing a Tai Lopez product that was advertised for $67 and then I was billed for over 8 times the amount. No other way to put this. I clearly should have been more careful. BUYER BE WARE. Don't make the mistake I did !!!!

I watched this last night and today I could not stop thinking about the little bits and bobs of knowledge he spoke of. I need more lovely women role models in my life. I want to be exposed to good men that can teach me of that good humor, where I can be more comfortable around them. I need good friends. There is a lot I need to work on.. but BOOKS. Thank you for this. I am on my way to a hopefully good progression of something big.

This is one of the most iconic speeches ever

This is one of those Ted talks that proves Views!= Quality

Fundamentally, if you're reading a book a day but not because you love books, your life isn't going to feel like it has been improved all that much. Anyway, as a person who loves books and literature, I would say quality is more important than quantity.

I GOT A TAI LOPEZ AD BEFORE THE VIDEO OMG

i would pay to have my eyes and ears protected from anything involving this lopez good life sir

Great speech! I am grateful to have found this video. All the knowledge and tips you shared reached home. Thank you 🙏

Is TED open to everyone now days? Standards sure are slipping. I remember when it used to be "Ideas worth sharing".

It's 5 in the morning and I couldn't sleep so I thought I would waste my life watching videos that make me question shit I don't care about.

Everybody wants a good life but not everybody gets a good life. You have to follow these rules. Amazing words!

this guy looks familiar... why can't i click the skip button here?

Everyone wants the good life, but not everyone is willing to wear a suit with their adidas sneakers

AMAZING TedTalk ! If not THE BEST one I’ve see so far ! Wow man…. This is powerful and uplifting , as well as motivating. Awesome 💪🏿♾‼️

What is this guy rambling about??? "Toughen up, read a book a day - or a week - but don't really read it, just read the front and back and maybe one chapter twice...."

Wonderful...I specially liked the last punchline "Be Humble, Persevere, Read more, Toughen Up" ! Thanks for this speech, Tai !

this is so inspiring ..in these last days i wanted to know more about stoicism and this video motivated me . he is really a good speaker and story teller. there's something in his voice sound peaceful and relaxing . added to my fave ted talks

it's no magic, if you want "the good life", do what you think is necessary to achieve this goal. when you are smart enough to achieve it, you'll be smart enough to find your way. if not, you will fail either way. you dont need a 67 step program or any other shit that will only cost you money and wont help you. there is no trick, no shortcut. success requires hard work, consistency and sometimes luck. thats it.

Am i the only one that actually listened to the video instead of commenting KNAWLEDGE?

I speed watched the video by clicking on it and going straight to the end. I learned everything this guy is trying to teach me by doing that. Which is nothing. Thanks Tai Lopez.

Thank you so much! Your message Sir Tai is truly motivating. Haven't grabbed a book or scan a page most of these days due to hectic schedule in school. But your message reminds and compels me to continue to read a book or even an page a day at my own pace to continue to learn. And yes! Humility is a virtue everyone must possess. I agree with you too, one doesn't have to go through mistakes just to learn in life if only one is willing to learn from a mentor. God bless you.

Here in my garage, eating my pasta linguini

Great talk - Thankyou! Knowledge is power- I was taught that from a young age but at times forgot it. Now I have so many books on the go at once and I wouldn’t have it any other way ❤

The last five minutes summarizes every thing . Thank you so much for this golden advice .

Wheres his lamborghini

Give this man a small loan of a million dollars $$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$

Every time i watch a good TEDx talk, I get the expirience of reading a good book..!

A great talk. Thanks Tai for sharing your wisdom.

I rent a car a day

I read once and I'm paraphrasing, but If you read a book a week in the area of your career, that's 52 books in a year. In tens years that's 520. In ten years you will be an expert and the top 1% in your field.

Es una pasada de conferencia, todo lo que dice es verdad...y duele! Es dificil pero solo lo dificil hará que tu vida valga la pena. Lo recomendaría a todos sin dudarlo. No pierdas tu tiempo, vive el presente con la visión de la vida que quieres "todo el mundo desea tener una buena vida pero pocos son los que están dispuestos a seguir los pasos necesarios". Busca un mentor y aprende de la sabiduría de las grandes mentes a partir de los libros. Sé un deborador de conocimiento y nunca dejes de ser humilde.

While reading books, remember quality is more important than quantity 👍

OMG I GOT HIS ADVERTISEMENT OMG THIS IS ABSOLUTELY HILARIOUS 😂😂😂😂

Don't Read More Books. Apply More Books.

Never commented on other youtube channels. But for this time, let me say "thankyou for inspiring me"

The title of this video had to be "The Power of Mentoring".

The title is misleading He talks about mentoring

Oh my gosh 5 minutes in and he still hasn't said anything whatsoever. When is this talk going to start?????

I always get so much out of periodically reviewing this spectacular TEDx talk. Thanks, Obi-Wan. Luke out...

My english teacher used to say 'read,read and all the time read with all your heart' in due course of time i learnt that she right. I always knew she was right. A book and a mentor can give you decades of knowledge if you are willing to take it. I am happy because i learnt this before i will be 14

Dude is wearing a suit with sneakers.

He doesn´t read a book a day - he just skims through them a calls it that way

I don't care what other people says about this guy, i still love this fake talk, watch it, listen to it countless of time everyday, it's give some sort of power/motivation

I was never much of a book reader growing up but thanks to motivators like you, my daughters and youtube we now have been given the opportunity to read and share kids books with the rest of the world! THANK YOU!

i got tai's ad before the video. I'm not mad.

In the future, everyone will have their own TED talk.

Powerful! I am so lifted and strengthened by this. Thanks much

Really I appreciate you and I feel it's good to know this universe through the book 📖

Amazing speech. Sometimes we need to hear known information multiple times to let them settle down and influence one's mindset and vision.

The title got me interested until I noticed the X at the end.

"a nation is born stoic and dies epicurean" is a great quote

I think this is the best motivational TedX that i ever seen. Make sure you follow the 3 easy rules he talk about, and you'll certanly have a happy and good life!

Here In my Garage Just Bought This Dry Martini With This Loaf Of Panini.

5 YEARS since I've watched this video (I put this video on repeat for almost a 100 times probably, the month I watched this for the first time), my life has changed drastically. I've had 6 personal mentors in this time, had the ethics to read almost 8 new books in a week of vacation time and the knowledge I've implemented in my life amazes the possibilities of what life has to offer. Hadn't been this video, I may not have been the person I'm today; or even had the audacity of see myself have accomplished what I've today (Not that I'm saying I'm Bill Gates or Elon Musk Just Yet); but to whatsoever I have - from attending Bootcamp at MIT and Harvard Medical School this year to starting up 3 new companies in last 3 years; this video is the starting point in a huge manner. How much ever, the youtube comment section be plagued by the negativity for Tai, but you've made me believe what life can be with mentors and becoming an avid book reader. My strong gratitude to the unmet man who've influenced my life to this scale. Thanks!!!

loved it. thank you Tai for such a beautiful tal

Fake it till you make it, like this guy

Thank you for reminding us the power in daily self-development. My goal this year is to read a book a week, which I have been on track but will progress into reading a few books a week. Wishing you continued success. Thank you for inspiring the masses!

A good example to help us understand, thank you, Marlena.

👍 & well done on segment titles. i was able to refind this vid ( without knowing it was a ted talk) bcs I'd browsed the segments & the topic imitate is a key to success caught my eye

ANYWAY...Here in my GARAGE......

If you have a dream, wake up, design it, do research, let pple who already passes through help you, stay focused and surrounded with pple who will help you be what you always dreamed about, stay humble, be a good listener and per attention ⚠️ , mistakes will make you stronger and giv you more ideas 💡... read, and never give up you can do it

Very beautifully spoken, and great message👌👌👌

I was listening and read like that, self help books I read in that time. Those book help me a lot to find myself and happier. Thank you your video.❤❤

This seems weird to me. This talk does not sit well with me, it just leaves me with a bad sense that something is really off about this guy. I don't know, something is just wrong with it. Anyone else feel the same?
