This year is all about personal development for me. Improving myself physically, emotionally, spiritually and financially.

As an avid reader, I would advise you to read some fiction. Like when you read some fiction, you live from the character's perspective. The mistakes he makes and the lessons he learns always sticks with me and have a deeper effect on me than other book. Obviously, this is my opinion and not a fact or anything.

Hey Matt, I wanted to realy thank you for your video 1 year ago about reading. It was one of the main motivations for me to get more into the habit of reading and now, 1 year later, i have finished 20 books. While I also initialy aimed for 24 books, its still insane for me looking back and realising how much i read and how well I was able to maintain that habit. It is definitly hard sometimes and it realy can feel like a chore (especialy non fiction) but the rewards, insights and joys you get out of reading are definitly worth it. 10/10 can recommend Sooo... thank you.

Very true, I started investing before the pandemic and that same year I pulled a profit of about $750k with no prior investing experience, basically all I was doing was seeking guidance from *ROCHELLE DUNGCA-SCHREIBER* who's a guru in the game, you can be passively involved with the aid of a professional.

Hey Matt, it is always helpful to see what books creators and reading and benefitting from. Good to Great and Effortless were two books I got Into last year. The effortless book particularly has had a big impact, so much so I did a review on it myself, picking out some key takeaways. Greg also did the book essentialism which is one of my top 10 productivity books of all time, so I would recommend that. As ever loved how you produced and put together the video, looking forward to the next one😀 PS: like u reading has historically be a bit of a struggle for but it is a game changer to help refuel as u give out. Last year I read about 12, which seems a good rhythm - one a month

I'm so stoked to watch this interview! Greg is one of my favorite people and I always love your conversations with him! I'm thinking of writing a novella about minimalism, or rather about the opposite. I've spent years outlining and drafting a massive Star Wars fan-fiction series but I think it's time for me to stop shooting so high right out of the gate and just write something short. I don't think I'll try to get it published but I'll put it up on my website at least and maybe print a few copies for family/friends. I'll still work on the series but if starting on KZread has taught me anything it's to start slow and be willing to post crappy stuff -- to learn by doing and creating.

I honestly didn't really have a problem until high school. I never minded doing book reports because I liked talking about books and writing was fairly easy for me. When I got to high school, though, there was good insane amount of pressure to pull out these themes that barely even existed and didn't even feel important (like womb envy in Frankenstein) and that just kind of ruined reading because I felt like I was doing it wrong but also hated the "correct" way

I was the exact same. I didn’t particularly like the books we had to read throughout primary school, but I didn’t mind reading and writing about them as I genuinely enjoyed both of those things. Once I got to high school, however, my attitude towards reading completely changed. It wasn’t the mandatory reading of certain books that was the problem, it was the work we had to do after reading each chapter. Deciphering metaphors and themes is all fine and dandy, but they were never open to interpretation. You had to have exactly what the marking scheme said otherwise your answers were wrong. While some books are very clear in their message, there are plenty of books that mean something different to each individual reader. Not being allowed to have a different opinion from the marking scheme really took the fun out of something I really loved.

Favorite thing to do is read, so glad to have some new recommendations! Mine for you is a fiction novel, the Song of Achilles by Madeline Miller. I read it recently on holiday and thought it was absolutely amazing. That's the most recent... Other faves are Giovannis Room (imo the most beautiful book ever written) by James Baldwin and either Neverwhere or American Gods by Neil Gaiman, but tbh you cant go wrong with any of his books ☺ Great video! I'm so passionate about books and reading, I'm so pleased when others enjoy it too ❤

Tks for the recommendations. In the past I’ve had books on the go but work and parenthood put paid to that. But this year I promised myself I’d read a bit more. This video has prompted me to get on with it - One Bright Moon and Shoe Dog are winging their way to me as I type.

You read some really good stuff! Several that I've read and enjoyed and several I'm putting on my list. I'm so glad you are back in a reading routine. 📚😊📚💜

Not reading a book because you do not align with all ideals of its writer would limit your perspective to the opinion of those in your own reference group. Everyone has something to teach us, it is our choice whether we are ready to learn.

Definitely trying to get into reading this year as well. Thank you for all the suggestions! I used to hate reading as a kid too but have recently become more interested so I’ll definitely be looking into some of these

Great video as always!! “Will” was my #1! The audio version was unreal…could not stop listening until it was over. Then went buy the hardcover to re-read!! I’m on a similar reading journey

Hi, Matt. I want to recommend "The Book You Wish Your Parents Had Read and Your Children Will Be Glad That You Did" by Philippa Perry. The title as you can see is self-explanatory. :) On a surface, it's obvious that it is a book about parenting, but after reading it thoroughly, I can say it's more about understanding and accepting your inner child before/while deciding to be a parent to a child. It's a great book whether or not you plan to have a child in the future, as it talks abundantly on self acceptance.

I've read around 30 books last year, but there have only been 2 that stuck with me big time. Atomic Habits, which is about small steps and habits. And the Almanack of Naval Ravikant, which is about wealth-creation, philosophy, and happiness. I also used to hate reading, but COVID got me to read and now I love it! Great video Matt!

Thanks for the recommendations. I'm adding more books to my ever growing list of must-reads.

Thank you for sharing your reading experience. Have a nice day buddy!

It's really interesting to see the connections between the books you read and the changes in slow growth and your online presence. The Last good book I read was Creative Quest by Questlove and I recommend it if you like to ponder the question what is creativity and are somewhat into music. One of the few books that's worth listening to as well.

Fully agree with "Will" . I just finished it and it was so entertaining. I loved it. Reading about his childhood and his life was inspiring.

Already five books into my 2022 reading goals! Keep it up everyone if you're on the same journey.

Thanks for the recs Matt! I also stopped reading for a while, so really want to pick it up back again! Cheers!

Awesome man! Thank you for sharing your insights.

Thank you for this video. I have been falling out of love with reading, but this has brought me renewed motivation. My audiobook recommendations are Big Magic by Elizabeth Gilbert, Year of Yes by Shonda Rhimes and When Breath Becomes Air by Paul Kalanithi (funny how my favourite books are actually audiobooks! I love it especially when they are read by the actual author and that adds a lot of character) :)

Yayyy! “16 more books than 2020”. That’s exactly it. Love this so much because it’s important to focus on the growth not just how big or dramatic it is! Kudos Matt. 🙌🏼 Two books that made a huge impact on my life were “The Checklist Manifesto” and Complications by Atul Gawande. I read them both during medical school and completely changed how I approach medicine later on. Absolutely amazing reads!

I love this video and am always so great to see what you came up with this time. This video is so refreshingly honest, I love that you also involved two books saying you read them because you enjoyed it, and that is all that counts. I would recomend "Educated" and "The unbarable lightnes of being". I loved both so much and it might be something for you too.

I can never get myself to sit and read- I'm too slow and nothing sticks in my head!! But thanks to Audible, I'm able to listen to 1-2 books a month. I write notes while I listen and this whole principle works well for me because I can use my time commuting to listen to audiobooks. I feel so much more productive because reading was one of the last things I never managed to squeeze into my day. I hope I won't get attacked for not actually picking up a physical book, but my ADHD just doesn't let me read. Besides, as a musician, the best way to get through to me is through sound! I love business and productivity books. Even though I am a creative, I just don't find any merit or joy in reading fiction.

I’m the same way. I LOVE books! Worked at Barnes & Noble for years, always dreamed of having my own library in my home, and have actually gained a large quantity of my most loved books alongside future reads. My struggle is that I either get distracted too easily or when I do get uninterrupted time, I start falling asleep a few chapters later so it takes me forever to finish a single book. Audible has been a Godsend to me too. Most of the books I’ve listened to I also own the physical copy. Some books, I listen too and then go back and read over some parts that I want to reinforce. This is especially true for books that I’ve read for my own personal growth journey. I believe that as long as you’re getting the message of the book and you enjoy it, listening or reading, it’s all the same. And I don’t tell people that I listened to 12 books last year, I still always say I read 12 books. 😉

I’m late to the party but I recommend lost connections and stolen focus by Johann Hari. As a teacher and educator this made so much sense of the world for me personally and when it comes to understanding my students. There are wholesome moments and opportunity for pauses in his writing that reads like a novel and I’ve had (sorry for being personal) the most liberating cries of my life in these pauses

Project Hail Mary by Andy Weir is an amazing book! Highly recommend it. Along the lines of reading goals, last year I tried to read 50 books but in aiming for that I found myself picking shorter books rather than gravitating towards ones I was interested in. So this year my goal has been to read a minimum of 10 minutes every day and so far I’m averaging WAY more than that!

Nice recommendations! I'm adding a couple of those to my "Want to Read" list. It's good to have small goals in reading. I tend to have two separate goals. Read at least 1 page a day, I end up reading at least 3. Read 26 books this year. I can recommend reading: Doughnut Economics: Seven Ways to Think Like a 21st-Century Economist Rethinking about how the economics work and how they not necessarily help our environment.

Thank you for the recommendation Matt! :)

Great video Matt. Also your music game is through the roof. Cheers from Portugal

These two books has been an eye opening for me and changed how I work and manage people - Rework by Jason Fried & DHH (Basecamp) - Primed to Perform by Lindsay McGregor & Neel Doshi Also one book that I did not yet read, I hope I can read it this year, this book is also about the work culture: No Rules Rules: Netflix and the Culture of Reinvention by Erin Meyer and Reed Hastings Since I experienced the burnout recently and yeah the feeling of losing excitement in things that we know we love doing is really disturbing, so thanks for recommending the War of Art! Obviously putting it top of my reading list, also I think I will read Willpower and Effortless too, thanks Matt!

I love Shoe Dog and a lot of great quotes from it. My goal is to read all my TBR this year haha. I will look out for some of the books you have read

Tuesdays with Morrie is a brilliant book. A short and easy read that’ll bring you to tears

We need more videos about books 📚!!!

I might be picking up a couple of these books this year. If you are a fan of music, there’s a series called 33 1/3 that goes in depth on a specific album for each book. The one I’ll recommend is the 33 1/3 on “Donuts” by J Dilla. The book breaks down the processes that went into the making of one of the best instrumental hip hop albums of all time and how the artist’s passing impacted the album’s meaning. Super good book and a quick read (only 130ish pages).

It’s funny/sad that I despised book reports/reviews in school, because now I love telling people about the books I enjoyed reading and look to suggestions from others. Great video!

I was just watching some of your old videos. And then there is this new video!

Thank U so much for sharing. You really inspired to me to read biography books!!

I would love to recommend "Turtles All the Way Down" by John Green. The story follows a teen who deals with anxiety, and it was very comforting to follow the journey. If you'e looking for more of a practical, or applicable, reads "Joy from Fear" is a great guide for mindful ways to tackle your fears, and "Bad Ass Habits" by Jen Sincero was a helpful guide for sticking to habits. Enjoy!

I love your recommendations of autobiografies. Definitely gonna pick those up. 😬

I loved the inspiration it gave me to keep reading more books this year. I'm also on the same boat as you as I didn't read a lot of books until college. The books I have right now are: No One Ever Told Us That (John D. Spooner), The Psychology of Money (Morgan Housel), Hot Right Now (Awwwards), and Skin in the Game (Nassim Nicholas Taleb). I still have to start 2 of them, but this video has inspired me to make plans to read them all.

Thank you for the book tips. My suggestion is "Zen & the art of motorcycle maintenance". Favorite quote "You need periods of lateral thinking before you can think in a straight line again".

Thank you for another great video, Matt. I love how much heart your videos have. I just picked up 3 of the books you recommended. Can’t wait!

Thanks for this video! I added a couple of titles to my “to read” list!

Added a few books to my “to buy” list from this video, thanks! I set myself a target of at least 6 books this year, which doesn’t seem like much when I see people saying they typically read over 50! 😅 I will say, the book I’m currently reading is IT, which isn’t exactly a short book, but I’m glad I’m doing more reading then I used to.

I really want to actually get myself to read ahhhh. Like I love reading but the moment I have school stress or am at all busy reading goes out the window. I was going to read a book this reading break but didn't even start it and now my break is over😒 But this totally gave me motivation to actually read it. I'm going to start it tonight!!

Thanks for the recommendations, Matt. I’ve been reading more, too.

Love your reviews and presentation. One Bright Moon is brilliant!

Matt, great video as always! Last year, I read 50+ books and the first two I'm recommending are a few of those that I can't get out of my heart. My recommendations: - "If cats disappear from the world" by Genki Kawamura (fiction) - "Before the coffee gets cold" by Toshikazu Kawaguchi (fiction) - "The Agile Mind" by Estanislao Bachrach Lots of love from Buenos Aires! ♥

I read ‘Good to Great’ last year also! It’s one of the best motivational business books ever.

Loved this!! I also read Yeonmi's book last year. If you're interested in more NK escape books I would recommend "The Girl with Seven Names" by Hyeonseo Lee and "A River in Darkness" by Masaji Ishikawa. Both are different yet powerful stories of life in NK and their journeys out. Other books I enjoyed were: - Man's Search for Meaning - Viktor Frankl - The Happiest Refugee - Anh Do - Can't Hut Me - David Goggins ( I prefered the audiobook) - Falling Leaves - Adeline Yen Mah

What a great stack of books Matt! Great job. Another book I recommend is 'Hurt' by David Goggins. A book about his struggles growing up yet how he pushed through and became more than he ever thought he would, despite being told he would always amount to nothing. Incredible tale.

Great books to add to the list. Thanks for sharing! :)

Thanks for sharing this Matt

Book 4. Willpower is so important, motivation is only temporary but drive is what keeps you going

I've listen to audiobooks and the series that I'm really into at the moment are they Lincoln rhyme (Bone Collector) set by Jeffery Deaver. The voice actor who does it really suits the character and I think which helps you immerse in the story.

"Outcasts United" by Warren St. John is a book I recommend as often as I can. It's about a youth soccer club started by immigrants from the Middle East and Eastern Europe in a United Nations refugee resettlement center in the Deep South. Describes each player's background and their journey to America, but also the new challenges they face as a group of immigrants who just want to live and play organized soccer/football in an insular southern town. So so so good.

the war of art is a book that is always in my backpack, every now and then i pick it up, must fight the resistance 👊🏼

awesome list, already added a bunch of them to my to-read list. btw I sent you an email a couple of days ago 😬

Also wanted to pick up reading again and took the challenge last year. My favorite was Sapiens: A Brief History of Humankind. Really good read if your want to see things from different perspective.

So much value, thank you sir

Some of the books I read recently and would highly recommend to anyone are "Empire of Pain" by Patrick Radden Keefe, "Invisible Women: Data Bias in a World Designed for Men" by Caroline Criado-Perez and "Project Hail Mary" by Andy Weir. The first two are eye opening pieces of non-fiction, the last one is yet another page-turner by Weir.

"The Art Of Impossible" by Steven Kotler is a great read. Goes in depth on the science of flow state and how to reach peak performance more often.

Good Video, totally watched it to the very end

Great video! Inspiring me to want to read more as well. Books that stuck with me for a long time after finishing them were "Open" by Andre Agassi and "I am Malala: The Girl who stood up for Education and was shot by the Taliban" by Malala Yousafzai (also on Spotify btw). I usually don't read autobiographies and rather enjoy fiction (strong recommendation in that department: "The peacock" by Isabel Bogdan) - if I get myself to read at all after university kind of "took that joy away from me" - but these two books really touched me.

Reading adds so much value to life - great video!

omg i loved the cameo from kermit the frog 07:38 haha for real tho what a great video idea! would love to see another next year ^-^

I look at these videos to just motivate myself to start reading, no matter the genre of the book. Who else is like me?

Anna is icon, legend, beautiful girl, princess, inspiration, a star. I could go on and on, understand this. I love NBA Anna.#垃圾

Love some of the recommendations and I'm grabbing them for myself! If you're into biographies right now I could recommend Greenlights (by Matthew McConaughey) and I Can't Make This Up (by Kevin Hart). Both in audiobook version since they're narrated by the authors and they're doing an absolutely amazing job. For one of those biographies that are important to read I recommend Last Girl by Nadia Murad - it describes the crimes committed by ISIS during the last decade, from the perspective of a Yazidi girl that lived in Iraq at the time and became the first hand victim of them. You also mentioned not having (yet) read Sapiens - I recommend you put that somewhere on top of the list! It's one of the books you'll ever read ;)

A New Earth by Eckhart Tolle this book really gave me a perspective on my own behaviour and that of others. I read it every year to give me perspective and inspiration. I love how even in his words you can sense his tranquility and peace. It makes me calm and focused. Seriously couldn’t recommend it more!!

I've also been making a conscious effort to read more the last year. I recommend the book Braiding Sweetgrass by Robin Wall Kimmerer. It's a wonderful look into what we can learn from our connection with nature. A popular book among my circles lately 💚🌻

I'll be sure to read one bright moon. Keep up the good work Matt.

Thank you, Matt for the brilliant video. Reading is definitely an underrated, in that there is so much to be learned! From applicable lessons to even writing cadences/prose, there is unlimited potential. What book(s) are you currently reading? Recommendation: Extreme Ownership by Jocko Willink and Leif Babin - Navy Seals who apply the lessons they learned from combat into the business world. Like you mentioned about self-help/business books, it keeps your mind actively looking for applications pertinent to your situation.

Well, since you asked, it's easy for my seague. I recommend you my first book - The Flower Of Fulfillment, the little book for life which I strongly believe is the self-improvement everyone must begin with!

I bought the War of Art after watching this because I really enjoy watching/reading things that motivate or inspire me. Looking forward to giving it a read!

Hello, Matt. Thanks for this video. It's so timely. Today, I'm reading book #3, a collection of short stories by O.Henry. Take care.

I'm definitely putting all of these books on my list to give them a go. I did listen to Where the Crawdads Sing on audible when I first came out and it is a phenomenal book! Also, I did really enjoy the narration of it, it gave so much more personality to the main character.

Hi matt, great review of the books. Hope u continue to make these kind of videos.

'The War of Art' was one of our assigned textbooks last year for one of my Master's of Fine Arts degree classes.

I love this, thank you!
