Two books I've read

0:01 Hello friends. This is the second time I record this video because the first time I put the phone down and I thought I had it pointing in the right direction, but it only like recorded half of my face. So, here we go. So due to popular demand and when I say popular I mean like two people asked in the comments for book recommendations. So here I am. I will be showing two books that I've read in the past and have enjoyed. Um get ready to cringe, okay? because these are books that are very popular that have been read many a

0:49 times. Okay. Um so don't expect like some sort of niche gem. But I figured I would start off this like series of book recommendations with like basic books and then I would slowly go towards books that are not less known. I still read popular books but just books that are closer to my heart that I've enjoyed more. So here we go. As I said, get ready to cringe. Think and Grow Rich by Napoleon Hill. So, this book is a very quick read. Um, the reason I picked up this

1:36 book is because it just got like recommended by the algorithm by the the book algorithm over and over again. So, I said, "Okay, I'll read the book." Um, just a quick criticism, it's a good book. If you actually do read it and actually do apply the ideas that he presents, it can legitimately change your life. The difficult part is in just actually doing what he says to do. Um, the one downside is that as I was reading the book, I did a little bit of research on the author, Napoleon Hill,

2:21 and I found out that he was like some sort of Ponzi scheme MLM guy, like the equivalent of a Tai Lopez here in my garage type kind of guy. So, it kind of ruined the book a little bit, but I finished it nonetheless. And reputation aside, I still think the things he says are useful and I have applied some of them in my life and um it's good stuff. Okay, next book. 198 Yeah, it's probably hard to read from over there. 1984 by George Orwell. So, this is a classic book. The reason I would recommend this is

3:07 because I'm pretty sure this book used to be like mandatory in high school. My mom told me that she had to read it when she was in high school, but when I was in high school, we didn't have to read it. And I think that's a bad thing because it is very good in the sense that um it was written a long time ago and things that he imagines will happen in the future can be mapped on to things that are happening right now. And so it's a good kind of like uh like a wakeup story and also it's like a good story in

3:53 general. So, if you haven't read that, make sure to read it. Uh, yeah. Next time I recommend some books that I've read, I promise they'll be better than these. I'm kind of starting at like the bottom of the list and I'm going to work my way up. So, have a good day.
