    Thank you SO much, Ali for sharing your absolutely magnificent wisdom and persona so transparently with us whether it be in the aspect of studies, productivity or life in general! I’m sure you get to hear this a lot but you are making such a huge difference in so many people’s lives by inspiring them to change for the better even if it be by a minuscule amount everyday! In your last video, you mentioned how one of the reasons why you started this channel was a selfish one - to make it become your secondary source of income but I’d like to negate that point with a heartfelt NO for the sole reason that you’ve always been, from Day 1, out there to help others in the process and I feel like whatever benefit you get in return for it is much less than you actually deserve for the splendid quality of content, your sheer dedication and that friendly connection with your audience full of banter and learning you have so easily developed. Your continuous endeavour to improve yourself or being curious about newer things is such an inspiring sight almost to the point of endearing! I wish you prosper in all you that you do because you’ve been nothing but a fruitful addition to everyone’s watch-time in a world where mindless chatter and content is abundant! Lotsa love! :))

    I'm currently listening to a very interesting book called "Flow: The Psychology of Optimal Experience" by Mihaly Csikszentmihaly. The book is the result of his research of flow, or being "in the zone", where you are enjoying a certain activity so much that you lose track of time. He describes how the state of flow can be cultivated and, by that, how we can enjoy our work, everyday activities, relationships, live more intentionally and immersed, and generally have a more fulfilling life. Thought I'd share my book recommendation here as well 📖

    Seeing as you enjoyed War Doctor I would really recommend your read Moving Mountains by Claire Bertshinger. Claire was a nurse for the International Red Cross/Crescent movement. The main focus of the book is around her experiences in Ethiopia during the 1984 famine. She was the nurse who inspired the Live Aid relief programme. It also discusses her experiences in Afganisation, Sudan and so on.

    Oh my gosh, you read Six Of Crows! I just had to put that out there because it definitely is one of the highlights of my 2020, book-wise. Nonetheless, cheers to 2021!

    I love Brandon Sanderson books! I recommend Mistborn and Warbreaker, they are really good because when I read it I couldn’t stop reading. It felt like I was transported into another dimension heheh

    At the moment I'm sitting with an iPad and a laptop digging deep into Austin Kleon's great work would surely add the recommendation in my reading list @Ali Abdaal.

    Merry Christmas Ali. Amazing video again. I challenged myself to reach the master guardian rank on counter strike these holidays but you fucked up everything and now I'm gonna binge-read your books. Thank you mate. The one about politics seems really appealling, you sold it to me so well. Happy new year, keep safe, and again thank you for keeping me on the right track towards becoming a better person. Merry Christmas to your roommate to.

    Mistborn one of my all time favourite fantasy series. If you’re serious about Brandon Sanderson Ali you need to read The Stormlight Archives!
