*as in putting less pressure on yourself with how MANY books you read, but rather focusing on the QUALITY of what you read. Basically, quality over quantity (as is the case with many things in life). Enjoy!

#Books #OneBookAWeek #Reading
Some might read the title of the video and think "oh, cool, I don't have to read, I wasn't going to anyway". If that's the case, I suggest you watch the entire video first. Reading is very important, it has many benefits for your brain, and unfortunately, school prepares us from a young age to see reading as a chore or as something unpleasant. Then there's the other type of people who only read Personal Development and Self Help books, and that's mainly who I'm targeting with this video. The Self Help industry is making billions of dollars every year, often selling sub-par written content that gives the illusion of personal growth. There's so much more value in a novel, or a history book, than you will ever find in the average Self-improvement book. So although I'm talking about why you should read less, the moral of the story - spoiler alert - is why you should read more, or why you should be more selective with the type of books you're reading. Looking forward to the conversation in the comment section.
Happy to see the positive response to this type of video! Been reading the book recommendations you guys are leaving in the comments and tbh there's a lot of exciting stuff I want to read myself now haha! Keep 'em coming! 📚
bruh i am romanian
Please give your lip sync temolate
Esperanza rising is one of my favorite books I’m reading right now it’s like what Andrea said but with a lot of detail and Mexican.
Gugăl foarte epic FIworldr moment

If anyone wanna to read new series of books each about 250 pages you can read this paranormal for author Ahemd Khaled Tawfek It about an old man called Refat Esmail in which he faces lots of paranormal events from any culture
People who read E-books:*Visible Confusion*
Can't remember the time I read a book...
I read 1 or sometimes 2 books a week because of school
Does reading comics or mini movies count?
1 book a week < 1 book a month
Meh I hate reading anyways
My sister read 78 books in 2020 And already read 8
My mom makes me read 2 books every day
5:52 Is it just me or does this line make no sense? My interpretation is that it's basically saying: "Intuitive thinking as opposed to Analytic thinking is a form of cognitive laziness" (pretty much what the word means), and out of nowhere they draw the conclusion that googling things is a part of this. They do this yet they don't seem to explain why getting facts from looking it up is related to it - especially when research like that is very important to analytical though - nor do they explain why alternatives are better. Why is relying on facts and external sources a form of cognitive miserliness? Is it lazy to look up facts to back up your argument? Is it lazy to get the answers you want and draw your own conclusions about it instead of... whatever nonexistent alternative that they have yet to provide?
do mangas count
wigs of fire
What about webtoons 🤨
7:19 How bout learning a language? Like legit
I just read what I want ( Fantasy and science fiction) How fast i red ( like 2 Books in like 3 weeks)
if you're reading just to read you're gonna want to cheat yourself. if you're reading cause it's fun you don't do that. reading isn't just self help books you should find something you like
The da Vinci code is very good in my opinion
But you're wrong! I know cuz I read 3 books ever day! ;3 edit:battle field earth so much better than the movie
I literally had a book in my back pack and a grabbed it right now.
I have found this interesting and you got me read a bit but for god knows why i just cant sit down and read something
Can some good soul help me find book about egyptian mythology?
This is the wake up call I needed omg. I got into reading English books about 6 years ago and the first book I read was ‘if you could see me now’. The book was so highly confusing (I process stuff really slowly) that it took me two months just to finish the book. But after finishing that book holy crap it was like something clicked in my brain and my English started to improve basically overnight. Then others around me also started reading and I would often be made fun of because I take a long time to finish each individual book. By the third year I’d would finish a book with 400 pages within two weeks but I could not remember a single thing about whatever I’ve read. It was really stupid because I can still remember the contents of the first book I ever read but I can’t seem to visualise what I read literally last week. My English skills were stagnant at this point no matter the amount of books I was forcing into my brain and reading became kinda boring. Thank you for this video. It was truly an eye opener and the slap in the head that I needed.
The only reason I started reading was FanFiction and Light Novels from anime...
Einstein once said that he wont remember anything he could look up in 2 min
Why does this goose love pointing it’s middle Finger at me
Stephen Kings novels always does it for me. Fantasy and Horror is where it's at!
POV you read 2 books a week because thats how much books you have
I prepare movies
Great advice Andrei . Glad to see you use this platform for something like this
Kid watching: shows to parent
Dont we all read like we read FIworld coments redit posts and stuf like that
But I like reading
For the record I’m only 1:41 in but I’d just like to say, even as an advent book reader/ bookworm, when it comes to reading read if you want to and just read what you like. I can tell you from personal experience that if the book doesn’t interest you it’s pointless trying to finish it. It’ll be harder to instigate picking up the book to read, boring, you won’t really absorb what you’re reading, and in the end you’re just wasting time doing something that you don’t enjoy. Besides reading as a hobby isn’t for everyone. So feel like you’re some kind of loser if you don’t read a lot or if you’re a slow reader. ^^
me who read manga: *me smart* hehehehe
One of my dads friends came over with his son and he can’t read at 7 years old and he has a phone, he said that he doesn’t need to learn to read because he can just say hey google and get it to tell him what he needs and that hit different because I use reading everyday and it changed my way of thinking the way you tried to do in this video.
50 books in a year isn't many
Gugăl??
Why u should read less..... Less than 10 page a month? I can try.
Me clicking on this video *add for books/reading* Me: oh shi-
My very cliché and basic recommendations: 1984, Animal Farm (George Orwell/Eric Blair, both have been read in French), And Then There Were None (Agatha Christie, I’ve read it in French), The Haunting of Hill House (a very contemplative book and a different kind of horror, by Shirley Jackson, which I have read in English)
I read about 10 books last year, mostly fantasy and biographies. My advice: don't force yourself to read. Read what you like when you feel like.
*Quality* -Quantity-
6:38 That is some good things to do
6:20 It depends , this will not work if im reading a horror story or manga lmao
It's even worst then not reading , because you just thought you are doing right but no , you are wasting your time and you still think you are better than others
i read cookbooks
Me who doesn't even read: *I am 4 parallel universes ahead of you*
Gugăl
Books are stupid
Read less smile more
I just love the "gugăl". Such a Romanian thing :)
As the roman emperor and stoic figure Marcus Aurelius wrote in his Meditations: don't waste all your time reading books, try experiencing life as it is instead.
Read rich dad poor dad! It literally changed my life!
I usually read books in the young adult or teenager section in the library. One of my most favorite series is the Dream series by Kit Alloway (Dreamfire, Dream fever and Dream forever). Two other series are the Trylle trilogy and the Kanin chronicles, both by Amanda Hocking. Hope you like it!
I read manga comics and novel too
Dystopians, Psychological Horror, Fiction based on true Events, Tragedy, Autobiographies and some absurdist fiction are Genres I vibe with, But with that being said personal favourites include Kite Runner, The Cthulhu Mythos, Lord Of The Flies, The Fry Chronicles, Dark Matter and His Dark Materials.
Don't measure the # of books, I read 10 pages a day
i literally read all harry potter books in a week with suspense and then i realized there are movies of them this was like 2014 me then i bing watched them and realized many scenes are cut like many scenes were not made or some were not true and then i appreciated myself that i read those books
Try reading the Sherlock Holmes those books are amazing
The three series of book that changed my life: - Harry Potter - All Tolkien (from Lord of the rings to The Hobbit and finishing Silmarillion) - Dune (I still have to finish the last one :d)
The more you read, the more knowledge you earn.
I didn’t make any new year resolutions😏
I like horror story's so try the five nights at freddy's books they are enjoyable in my opinion
Reading makes me angry i hate reading it makes me stressed and debressed
Read because it's fun
Gotta love the "gugăl"

Being a good reader isn't about how many books you read, it's about how well you comprehend the information the book gave you after you're done. Reading is supposed to be something enjoyable and fun. Why would you want to read a book you're not interested in? I've read 300 page books in an afternoon - but ask me to read a 10 page article on a subject I find tedious or dull, and I've already got a headache. Don't let the amount of books you read determine your intelligence or worth; and don't let others dictate your reading choices. As long as you're reading because it makes you happy, you'll get more out of that book than anyone who reads it as a "challenge".
I can read it’s just whenever an author implementes large complicated words my brain just goes “yeah no” and it just won’t stick no matter how many times I reread it, listening to something makes it actually stick for me and I’ll remember it much better
Books are obsolete
yeah i read about 1 quintillion books a day
Does reading fan fiction count a reading a online book cause if it is boi I put the 1 book a week thing to shame
the only reason books are still read are because of fan fictions
2:55 of course, the clown dan lok himself
I recommend the chronicles of Narnia and screwtape letters by CS lewis if you like fiction at all, they are classics and easy to read
This is kind of a side note, but one thing about reading books that are regarded as classics or milestones in literature: if you don't enjoy them, don't read them. If you think the The Old Man and the Sea is boring, don't finish it. Forcing yourself to read something because you want the academia points isn't as gratifying as it might seem. You can definitely appreciate what certain books did for their genres/mediums/time period, but they're not all going to be for you, which is perfectly fine.
Yes. It's totally true if that classic book and its author had an audience in mind, i.e. a mostly European audience.
I am a HUGE fan of "Level up your life" by Steve Kamb, Such an amazing book for younger generation 15-20, and its core message is how you take life by the balls
Honestly reading is fun it’s not for everyone but if your gonna read a book get a book you know you will like
Does anyone knows the channel of the dude that only reads table of contents??
haha Donald duck comic in book format count as books?..
I only read manga or fanfiction
See, I'm an InTeLLectUaL. I didn't come up with a resolution. Hard to disappoint someone with no expectations.
I would suggest the Sherlock Holmes stories because they are short (15 to 45 pages) tales which can be fun to read
I literally got an ad with the guy from 1:32 just minutes after he was showed.
Andrei’s outro never, ever, gets old. Ever.
I just don't like books.
im only on the secnd book but warrior cats is very epic
Ahh I only read light and web novels Does that count
@Kiwo yeah But they're from anime and stuff
Aren’t light novels just books but online
Cititul e important, Andrei :3. Conteaza sa citesti si ce nu iti place ca sa STII ce nu iti place. Cititul oarecum abundent e important. Desi ai dreptate, calitatea conteaza mai mult decat cantitatea in privinta asta
You should not read LESS. But better
Me and my dad used to read the famous five brooks as he used to love them when he was younger
gugal adv
Does hentais count? (Not like I read them tho-)
I read cards Is that good enough?
A book for a week to read? It's really stupid trend.
When I was in 3rd grade, which was.. 8 years ago. My teacher told us to go to this book website and take a quiz that says how long or how understandable a book was. And then we would have a bunch of books to choose from. My mom even told me that I needed to read a certain amount of books to read so I could play for 1 hour. That's how I got an award for reading so many books during 3rd to 4th grade. We even had a little place to buy books. It could only stay for a week and would come back next year. I hope my old school was still doing this. It's what got me into reading an entire *singular* book in 5th grade that my classmate gave to the new school I switched to. (edit: I think its called blackbird.)
I really want to start reading a book I've had several just collecting dust but when I start to actually read it I get lost in the train of thought and eventually on what part I am reading. I also can't imagine the scenarios the book are describing my head is only filled with like the words that I am reading or blank. I am unable to absorb that information and internalise it.

I am reading warlock of the magus world it's good read
