Superb 🎉, thnku❤
wow this was amazing, I read the book twice but this was amazing to watch.
Ch 7 shikasland ch sumary plz
I disagree with this theory of waking up at 5am, i tried it for 2 weeks and i was never so sick in my whole life, my mind was all over the place, i had panic and i was nervous, i felt my days were ruined and it was like living a nightmare, once i went back to waking at 8 or 9 i regained peace and structure in my life and yes my life is a success, I am a professional on a great salary.
A story about an Incel in other words.

Unfortunately speech bots are irritating and this one sends me to sleep.
If you had managed to pay attention for even the first 8 seconds, you'd have realized that this one was read by a real human being and even have learned his name. Perhaps you were just too sleepy to begin with, and that's why you confused a robot voice with a real one? 🙃
UNIFORMITY is a MYTH
love this channel
Thank you!
This book is sooo timeless and nice review! If anyone is looking for animated book summaries, you can also visit our channel💕
ah yes i love it when the summary reaches the actual point of the book 5 minutes into a six minute video and then proceeds to ignore most of the points made in the book
I’m here because a girl reads this book and I want to have a conversation about it with her
where did the german dude come from lol
Ooh I have way too much anxiety rn & physical symptoms to constantly hear triggering words about SA… could have gave a trigger warning 😅
Great Job guys. This video inspires me to read the book!
Hello 👋👋 Agree 👍 with his 2 Steps Spend less than you make. Avoid Debts 😊 But Index Funds No....... Invest in True Money called Gold Bullions 😊..... Real Estate ( Rental properties). Buy Farm Lands 😁
Great summary that I already can say about the book even when I have not read it
@robin: For a long time (like 5 years) I am taking really seriously to wake up at 5AM. About 20/20/20, I faced with some problems such as: Vipassana meditation leads to meditator to medidate for an hour (not 20 min) or about running, I need 15 min to walk (to warm up) and them 1 hour running. so is it ok to have it in that way? maybe it is pitty, however, my mourning routine takes 5 hours in sum: am I doing something wrong?
The fact that I understood none of this is bothering me 😭
Thanks for your time and effort brother. Sub-ed to you
I'm leaving thank you
great video
Please make a video on *Pale Blue Dot* by Carl Sagon??
This is a fantastic summary, thank you 🙏
This man is a straight up demon. “Just listen to Bill Gates because he is smarter than you.” What a ridiculous thing to say! This entire thing was based on hypotheticals and what ifs rather than actual solutions. Solutions to a problem that isn’t that dire least of all catastrophic. Main takeaway: spend a lot of money now to fight a problem that doesn’t exist and you might save money many many years down the road. You will definitely not see a return on your investment.
the way most people are proably watching this for school but my autistic ass is watching this for an analysis essay im writing about a fictional character

Thank you❤. I learned something ❤
Good summary - and good reminder that most self-help productivity books are a rehashing of common sense principles that need 5-20 pages of elaboration at best (publishers like to 20x that number because densely written 15-page tracts don't sell for $30 a unit). Here's a little productivity book hack to keep in your back pocket: if there's a section on Steve Jobs, don't buy the book; whatever it contains has been said 1000 times already with no fresh insight.
Wow!!! Very precise and comprehensive 📔
Thanks for the vid, i can't read a non-fiction without watching a summary before
Ok but who decides what my dharma is? A God? A government? It only makes sense that I should decide my path, and this unravels the whole idea of dharma.

Great summarization! Keep Going ❤
Thanks!
I assume that what you actually meant to explain at 4:04 is that, hypothetically, if one person were to be able to travel towards a ray of light at a speed that's approximately as fast as the speed of light itself and would find itself at a distance of 186000 miles away from that ray of light at t=0 and a second person was at a fixed position respectively 186000 miles away from the ray of light. Then it would take 1 second for the ray of light to reach the second person but only half a second to reach the first person. Thus it would reach the first person twice as fast. Correct? However, this statement is ofcourse in contradiction with the second postulate of the special relativity theorem which you do point out in the video. But, in your exemplary situation at 4:04 you're not providing the speed at which these two persons are travelling towards/away from the ray of light nor do you provide an explanation/description of the mathematics that would support the "two seconds" difference. You only mention the speed of light and the distance (in miles, so you're not talking about their speed) over which the persons are travelling and in which direction (relative to the observer and ray of light). You simply state that person number one is travelling 186000 miles towards the ray of light and person number two is travelling 186000 miles away from the ray of light. I don't think your description of events/situation, nor its deducted conclusion of a two second difference, is correct. Although, as I said, I do think I understand/know what you actually meant to explain. 😅
Your whole 4 minute book thing is stupid, and minimizes the joy of reading.
Noam Chompsky should replace the words “upper class” with the “political/ruling elite”. Manufacturing consent is not a class struggle, rather it’s about those in power simply want to maintain power at all costs.
Yeah, that's maybe where the book reveals itself to be a bit dated in terms of terminology. Classes and the lines between them have also been blurring for years now.
I listened to this book on audible. I found most of it a waste of time. You could summarise the book as this author has done here. You don't need to read the whole book. There are a few very basic concepts which can be explained very simply. Galloway has turned what could have been a 4 page book into something much longer without really adding anything useful. There is so much padding and fluff, it seems just so you can say you're written a book. Anyone who has read about investment will find nothing new here. It's just about the same old things of application and focus, not following the crowd, investing long term, making sure you save some of what you earn, etc, etc.
Thanks for saving me from buying it.
Personally, what I found most interesting are 1. Scott's particular stories and anecdotes with which he makes the points (which, yes, especially the last part about finance, are mostly basic, common sense financial advice) and 2. the Stoicism philosophy applied to finance. I guess this is the kind of book where, if you like Galloway's podcast and column, you'll also enjoy the book - and if you're just looking for a finance 101 type thing, then yeah, you have a lot of other options too!
So thankful I found this so I didn’t waste any time or money on such a pathetic book. That first idiotic unempathetic statement “you have the life you’re willing to put up with” is all I needed to hear. Go tell that to victims of drunk drivers. I have a friend who almost died and lost one of her legs because she pulled over to help children get out of a van that was struck by a vehicle and while she was trying to get the children out, another vehicle smashed into her and the van.
I understand where you're coming from! There are always exceptions to any rule, of course. I bet the author wouldn't open with that line when talking to your friend, for example. Then again, if empathy is the first thing you expect out of a book called "Unf*ck Yourself," you might just be looking at the wrong book. It's just a hunch, but try our summary of Why Has Nobody Told Me This Before? by Dr. Julie Smith! That might be more up your alley: kzread.info/dash/bejne/mp56265xicnPZ84.html
This was a particularly good one 👍🏻
Thank you sir!
I'm wondering if you could have TAB cycled through to the second-placed-link while placing the room tag the first time?
Uhh...what? :D Can you explain?
I love the info makes me regret ever buying smart tech for the grandkids. Recently I found out ,after doing researching for an essay, that even Steve Job stated that no child under twelve should have one. thant alone should have us all take note for our kids and grandkids.
Yeah, there are also some articles showing how all the founders of big tech are keeping their own kids away from their products. "Do as I do, not as I say," kind of.
Germany is a compettitve country and US not?? So why does Germany has a free health system for everyone ? Why does Germany has an free education system? idk but that conclusion seems wrong to me...
It is saying US & Germany both are competitive. But this is more of a cultural point than an economic one. They are talking about competition between individuals being something that is openly acknowledged and valued. In the East, individuals also compete for jobs etc., but it is more subtly and covert, usually, and "serving one's nation" is higher on the cultural totem pole.
Thank you for this summary!
Thanks for watching!
It’s crazy how close he was to hitting the correct answer of what to do about this pandemic of mental illness yet missed the nail so god damn far. The real cause of our mental health crisis is capitalism… that’s it. It’s capitalism. Instead of saying hey parents you all need to parent like this, how’s about we say hey tech companies you need to implement far more rigorous standards especially to those that target children. God damn this makes me sad that THIS is where he goes to solve this issue. Not to mention the spiritual garbage he throws in at the end.
Your solution and his solution aren't mutually exclusive
Capiltalism in no way causes the mental health crisis, it is screen time studies have shown this its called evidenced based medicine. It givesreally great scientific ananylsis. If you don't like capitalism then why not give up everything in our society and move to a communist community of like minded people.
Hey friend! If this is your conclusion, maybe you should read the whole book! At the very least, keep an open mind that you might have put the cart before the horse here. In the West, capitalism has reigned supreme since after WWII - but the pandemic of mental illness is a very recent phenomenon! So those 2 needn't necessarily correlate. Not all devices that capitalism pushed into people's homes have made their lives worse. The radio was great! So was the telephone! TV? Well, it gets trickier from there. Capitalism has enabled smartphones to spread far and wide, sure, but social media is only one way to use them. And it's on us to limit our use, of course. Anyway, all this is worth thinking some more about. Be well, my friend!
@@FourMinuteBooks NO! What are you talking about!? This is the same shit people were saying about the radio and the telephone. It’s practically verbatim.
@@FourMinuteBooks also do you think things were great before ww2 or just after ww2? Mental health has been a massive issue for a very long time now. With the advent of the internet it’s now so much clearer how widespread it’s ALWAYS BEEN.
Way too basic for most - needs more intelligent focus and development.
Nice video 👏🏻
Thanks 😁
