ladies and gentlemen in today's video i'm going to reveal three books that have

changed my life now reading as a whole has been such a massive contributing factor
to why i've managed to get to the point where i'm at you know a multi-multi-
millionaire at the age of 21 multiple successful businesses and i'm not going to toot
my own horn any further but point is reading was massive for me you know i started
reading a book a week from the age of 14 and carried that on so from 2014 2015
2016 and then midway around 2017 i kind of started slacking but yeah for three and
a half years religiously i read a book a week so in today's video i'm going to share
three books that have changed my life now this these are three books of dozens and
dozens and dozens but i want to give you guys some ones that i know potentially
you may not have heard or um just you know further than your standard think and
grow rich how to win friends and influence people and then if you guys like this i'd be
happy to make a five further books that changed my life for you know five you know
or you know just say five books that changed my life you know and i'll kind of be a
bolt onto this one and i'll go for some of the ones that you probably don't know
because there are books um that i definitely wanted to put in here but that also
maybe for some people are a little too esoteric you know things like the caballon with
no further ado let's get started with the first book so one thing to bear in mind is
some of these books i literally bought the physical copy just to have it for this video
today because i read most of my stuff with a kindle first book is atomic habits james
clear now i read this book end of 2019 and i had a few people recommend it to me
and i was like guys i've read 15 to 20 [ __ ] habit books like i don't need another habit
book had a form positive habit book in my life i was wrong you know out of all of the
books pertaining to habit and discipline in my opinion this is the one that is uh really
just the most punchy and at the end it's not about who thinks of a concept first it's for
me who can explain the best and um that award in my opinion goes to james clear
so really what this book will do for you is it will give you a good road map on how to
first of all identify the habits that are going to bring the highest returns in your life and
then once you've done that an actual game plan on how to integrate them because
here's the thing i'll be honest a lot of books out there on habit and discipline and this
and that they throw out these these throughout these studies right and it's just um it
doesn't really do much uh for engaging you or really giving you some tangible advice
on like okay how do you make this thing stick and i think the one thing that james
clear did uh is that better than anyone else that i've seen is he's he shows you how
to make something stick not just oh here's this weird framework and and here's why
this study is more conclusive that it takes 21 days rather than 66 days for a habit to
stick or like i think this book just kind of gets straight to the chase and it really helps
you understand why you do what you do and i said it really just helps you make
habits stick rather than it just being this um rather than you reading a you know
almost dissertation on habits um without much on okay here's the or the brass tacks
of how you implement this stuff so yeah that is book number one book number two is
way of the superior man by david data and do not let the title off-put you and um
even some of the females in my audience you know i have given this book to every
yeah every single one of my ex-girlfriends uh and this is actually a fresh copy right
here i have probably given this book away maybe 25 different times and here's the
thing the stuff in this book may not entirely apply to you know a lot of males out there
um you know it may have you know may have some affinity to your personality uh
but for me this thing is like like if you want to understand me and more importantly if
you know your girlfriend or mine and you want to understand me and sometimes it
can be very hard to understand someone who's entrepreneurial and also you know
not that you know everyone falls into the star sign and you know i didn't believe in
star science for the longest time but um i have the i'm the epitome of a capricorn
don't be rude are you kidding me right um so if you want to understand me this book
is amazing right now i read this book for the first time when i was 14 and it you know
what it did for me was is it kind of it kind of gave me permission to to live the way that
like it kind of gave me permission to be me right because because the law stuff in
here in terms of uh your purpose and kind of your path as a man in this world um
and by the way is that a man can have the definition of manhood is so um there's so
many different ways that you can go about it right but i guess the definition of
masculine energy we should say right and also the dance between the masculine
and the feminine um you know in some relationships uh you know in terms of
masculine and feminine polarity you know the female is more masculine right in her
essence and and the male is more feminine in his essence and there's nothing
wrong with that right but me as someone who is obviously a man uh and then also
someone who's very in terms of in terms of the spectrum very you know on the uh
side of very masculine in his in his essence right because i said you know feminine
and masculine energy is not the same it's it's nowhere near the same and they're
both beautiful and they both dance with each other and usually that's where the best
relationships come from is you know a very you know you know it doesn't really
matter the gender of the person really is that there's a masculine and a feminine and
the two kind of dance together so um yeah i read this book when i was 14 i was like
oh wow wow so like i'm not weird right and even at the age of 14 like i was
embodying a lot of stuff in here um so yeah this book is incredible it's one of those
books you need to read again and again and again and um especially for you know
the biggest issue that young men have right now in my opinion is mastering their
sexual energy most guys don't know how to master their sexual energy you know
most guys don't know how to transmute their sexual energy you know and i think if
you look and a lot of authors have written about this why people usually get more
career success in their late 30s you know even early 30s or especially in their 40s
and 50s is because they have less sexual energy or that sexual energy isn't really
you know channeled in the form of um i don't know how i say this but um i guess in a
physical way um usually their energy and their focus you know as i said really goes
away from um uh fornicating i once went 28 years without having sex i don't i don't
know you get my drift and really that's when especially men have a chance to really
focus on their careers um because as i said most men out there just don't know what
to do with their sexual energy and that's you know that's very plain to see when porn
is such a massive industry when you know guys unfortunately they think it's normal
and i guess it's been normalized to to you know to self-pleasure themselves uh every
day multiple times a day guys you're literally throwing away the most valuable thing
that you have which is your life energy now for girls it's slightly different but that's a
longer discussion you know those two lessons alone makes this such a valuable
book but there's so much more as i said in terms of just like really i think if you give
sort of a hardened entrepreneur this book it will bring life to him again right because i
said a lot of people out there they're they're they become like callous right they
become like so um they've really just become so stale and emotionally dead and i
think this as i said really gives men or at least men who are similar to me as that as
in their very masculine in their energy and their essence you know this really gives
men a bit of a playbook on how to really dance with their masculine energy and how
to deal with it right um and i'm sure there's a great book like the way of the superior
woman you know or something like that i'm sure there's a great book for women and
how to you know how to dance with that um and you know how to dance with the
relationship and career and this and that so i think in general if you're a man um you
might read this book and you might go oh actually you know this isn't this doesn't
really resonate with me that's fine but i think you should still read it none the less so
um this book is so so important uh it's a little piece of advice to any entrepreneur
who's read this book if you're in a relationship give this to your partner um you know
you might think like oh they'll read it and they'll be like oh what so you know his
primary purpose in life is his mission right like and you know the most important thing
to him in his life will always be his purpose and you know kind of more until family
comes in your life and i guess things change for you as a man but in general as i
said if you're very masculine your purpose will always come first and i don't forgive
you guys you're probably so scared to give this to your partner because you know
then they like you're like oh my god they'll like you know they'll hate me or this or that
but this is really you know people are empathetic right um and especially if you're in
a relationship your partner should be empathetic so i think really just giving them an
insight or a window as to um kind of kind of like a sneak peek into your mind imagine
if there's a book that was perfectly aligned with what your girl's mind was thinking
right and living through i mean i sure as hell know that i would be reading that book
uh probably a few times a year so yeah that is that way of superior man david data
now the last book is meditation's marcus aurelius and although there's books um like
wave superior man where i've literally bought and given away maybe 20 times this
book i have had since 2015. um and i think it's you know this one is special to me
now i've bought copies of this book before and given away to friends but this specific
one is like this always stays by my bedside you know and i just read it again and
again and again and again like there's just so many highlighted pages on this uh in
this little book and obviously that comes in this beautiful um yeah this beautiful uh
hardcover so for me marcus aurelius really is um one of the greatest minds in history
and the fact that you're able to have a peer into one of the greatest minds in history
and and for me the thing i find more interesting is the fact you have this um this
unintrusive glimpse into his mind because the thing is you know marcus aurelius like
this was never this is not a book this was never meant to be published this was his
notes to himself right so when you've got one of the greatest minds in history such a
powerful man uh but also such a a beautiful stoic mind and you've got access to his
mind but as i said in a way where he's not like in this book he's not um he's not trying
to perception manage or filter because he knows that other people are gonna read it
and that's why i love it because it's just such a it's such an intimate look into
someone who's just in my opinion said just just so interesting so enlightening and i'm
just looking through some of my highlights here and let me see if i can find some
shorter passages to read to you some of these patches are very very long so let me
try to find something a little shorter if he is going wrong teach him kindly and show
him what he has failed to see if you can't do that blame yourself or perhaps not even
yourself it's funny because in this book there's so many contradictions but like it's
and things are so open-ended but it gives you so much to mull over so you know
even in that passage just like show others what they can't see and if they still can't
see it then maybe you know maybe you then maybe in that case blame yourself and
the fact that you weren't able to show them what was right or maybe don't and that
little sentence of the end of perhaps not even yourself it's like it's such a curveball
and it's um you know it's basically saying you know and maybe don't even blame
yourself because you know some people will just never learn and some people are
just on their own journey so it's as i said it's this whole thing is not written really for
someone there hasn't been much filter to it which i just love as i said it's just such an
interesting um just such an interesting glimpse into someone's mind here's an
interesting one for you guys in writing and reading you must learn before you can
teach yet more so in life there you go there's one for the online education industry
here's another one someone despises me that is his concern but i will see to that i
am not found guilty of any word or action deserving contempt will he hate me that's
his concern but i will be kind and well intentioned to all and ready to show this person
what he is failing to see not in any criticism or display of tolerance but with genuine
good will i said like this is this sort of stuff is just like i know a lot of this stuff isn't
crazy you know there aren't fancy words or this or that but it's just i don't know it just
this book to me is especially in this format like i just carry around everywhere and it's
just i keep coming back to again and again and again here's another one let no one
have the chance to accuse you with any truth of not being sincere or a good man
make sure that anyone taking this view of you is a liar this is wholly up to you who is
there to prevent you from being good and sincere you must just decide to live no
longer if you won't have these qualities and reason to abandons the man who won't
yeah i don't know it's six years on from reading this yes six no seven years on from
reading this book for the first time it's just it's still as insightful as the first day so um
yeah this is the third and final book um that really changed my life meditation's
marcus aurelius so ladies and gentlemen now what i'm gonna do is i'm actually going
to give you three bonus extra books and as i said i could i mean at this point i've
probably read three honestly i've probably read three or four hundred books in my
entire life so there's so many i could uh refer to but here's just some i found
downstairs in my little home library which is pretty much 10 of what it used to be
between moving a year ago and giving away most of my books and pretty much
every time someone's at my house you know i give them a book to head off with so
let me give you three bonus ones so the first is the everything store now the
everything store is a biography um about jeff bezos and this is really just a story of
how amazon was created and you know how long-term thinking jeff bezos was in
and it's so funny because amazon was literally called a scam until 2008 2009 2010
even because they went you know how could a business run uh and make all this
revenue and no profit and that's because they just kept growing and growing their
market share and you know it's so interesting just even hearing accounts in this book
of times where jeff would specifically lose money on a certain product just to get
more market share so um yeah i guess you call amazon monopoly and i wouldn't
necessarily disagree with you and monopolies aren't good and also i'm not the
biggest fan of jeff bezos whatsoever um i'm not a big fan of most of those uh elites
[Laughter] outside of the business world and when you look at really their
contributions but in the realm of business i may not think that they're necessarily
good people but in the realm of business these are some of the smartest minds ever
right and jeff bezos really is one of them and i will say there are some people out
there that are painted as smart minds uh and they're not really but there are there
are pure geniuses in my mind people like steve jobs um jeff bezos peter thiel uh et
cetera et cetera and then there's ones who kind of get a little bit too much glory in my
opinion so moving on the next book actually talking about geniuses in business sam
walton made in america this right here is the story of and by the way guys i apologize
for any background noise it is currently pouring torrential rain outside uh very
stereotypical of london but um this is the story of walmart and really just the creation
of walmart and as i said sam walton um you know jeff bezos actually took so many
principles from sam walton you know namely about just putting the customer first in
customer obsession and there's some hilarious stories in this book of you know sam
literally being in brazil and uh he got arrested because he was measuring the
distance between the aisles and he was figuring out you know basically what's the
most optimum idle distance uh and the brazilian police you know someone called the
police on him uh and you know the brazilian police you know had him detained and
then his family had to come get him and be like yo by the way this is like a literally
one of the richest men on earth um so yeah there's a 101 different lessons you can
take from this when it comes to your own business so uh yeah honorary mention for
this book right here and last one is 48 laws of power now this is the concise version
i've also owned i've also owned the the bigger one uh but obviously because i've
read it you know i just kind of keep the concise one around this book is very powerful
because it teaches you machiavellian thinking and you know not you know most
people in your life won't have machiavellian thinking right most people in your life
won't be out to get you or won't be thinking six steps in advance but there will be
people in your life who do have that train of thought and there will be people in your
life who plot plan out the next move and the next one and this one and this and and
you need to understand that right so the thing when you read this book i want you to
be really careful right because after you read this book you will think that your mom
is out to get you like you will genuinely think that your brother is like going to smother
you with a pillow in the middle of the night and then steal your crypto hard wallet and
then steal your identity and use that to start a um a black market business like you'll
literally think everyone's out to get you right um and that's not necessarily the case
um and that's also not really the outlook i'd like to have on life so so you know when
it comes to this book please take everything with a pinch of salt right this is also
going back thousands of years and using references um and and also referencing as
i said times that were very very different so um that's my little warning but the big
plus side to this is look in your life you will you know you will come up against people
who are psychopaths you will come up against people who are manipulative you will
come against people who are brilliant chess players who have the next six steps
mapped out um and this book will kind of help you in um spotting those people and
also almost having that in your arsenal right so if the time ever comes you know how
to think from a machiavellian lens so um yeah this is my last honorary mention uh 48
laws of power so ladies and gentlemen that pretty much wraps it up three books that
