 so today's video is about the three books that have changed my life the most so far so i've read over 200 books i've invested over 70 000 in my education you know going to seminars learning from mentors all in the last two years and you know some books have been really good some books have been okay but there's only been three books that really fundamentally changed my life on the deepest level so i'm going to recommend all three the first one is called the slight edge now i'm kind of a hard-hitting guy i'm a perfectionist i like big success i'm a risk so that caused me a lot of problem during my early years now the book the slight edge really changed that for me because it taught me how small actions no matter how big or or or tiny they are as long as they are consistent persisted over enough time basically compound into massive results so when i learned this obviously the book goes much more in depth it's extremely practical i started actually implementing the little little habits and i basically developed the idea of the minimum regarding your goals where when you set goals yeah you want to do you know let's say 90 minutes of fitness every day but you set a certain minimum for example a minimum of 10 minutes 20 minutes per day where you're not allowed to go below that minimum to stay consistent and you can do more if you want so that's the first book that really changed my life the second book is my big toe it's by a scientist called thomas cambell now the book it's like a 700 gigantic colossal book that talks about physics metaphysics quantum physics reality consciousness what the book does it basically breaks down your entire concept of reality how reality works you know really fucks up with your head but what you know the biggest lesson you kind of take from it the biggest thing it kind of teaches you is not to take seriously um any belief basically to field test everything uh so what that means is uh open-minded skepticism and it also teaches you how little you actually know like you think you know a lot it teaches you that you actually know like 0.0001 of what's actually out there like you're a lot more ignorant than you think and that kind of teaches you to be open-mindedly skeptical about anything that you might think so uh you learn that you put almost everything you do you kind of put limits on yourself in terms of what's possible what's real you know how there's you know there's obviously there's billionaires and they know something that you don't and there's spiritual masters and you know you might say oh it's a scam it's a scam but maybe the spiritual masters you know they actually have something that you don't and you just you're not able to see it because you're too closed-minded and you use dogma to just make quick decisions instead of actually experimenting and checking it out yourself uh again same with the billionaires you say oh they're all you know just a bit a bunch of uh hoard hoarding scam artists or you know they're all greedy again you use dogma to basically justify something as illogical or impossible without experimenting which keeps you where you are it doesn't allow you to evolve so that book really opened my mind to the idea that anything is possible that you know I know almost nothing and that you know always stay open-minded and never decide this is possible this is impossible to try it basically because as crazy as it sounds most likely somebody's done it and even better if somebody hasn't done it it's just a chance to be even more you know successful and well-renowned so the third book that changed my life is one that I read this year it's called the 10x rule by Grant Cardone now like I said I've always been very extreme I would always rather take no action than take normal levels of action I always believed in taking kind of massive levels of action in anything that I loved and not taking any action in anything that I wasn't interested in so that caused me a lot of trouble when I was younger because I didn't know how to balance it I didn't know how to basically how to use that profitably so what would happen is I would get quick these quick sprouts like quick sprints of success and then you know a long period of nothing and then again a quick sprint of success and then a long period of nothing which obviously the nothing it was very painful because I did want to do things but I just I wasn't able to do things if it wasn't on a massive level so the book is like the first literally the first time anybody has ever kind of verbally showed me that my attitude is actually correct and what he's saying in the book the biggest message there is that if you want to be successful in anything you want to take whatever it is you want and multiply that by 10 which is something that I've naturally done and it was always you know always took what I wanted and I multiplied that by a lot more I've always thought like oh I want more I want more but I thought that was wrong somehow because people everybody thought I was weird or something so again that book just shows you like okay take any goal you have multiply it by 10 and then the second rule it establishes is you need to take whatever you think is going to be necessary to actually make the the 10 times bigger goal get accomplished and you need to multiply what what do you think it's going to take in terms of action time whatever it is and you need to actually multiply that by 10 so again if you want to make you know $10,000 a month you need to aim to 100,000 and then you're going to have to do the math okay how much cost is it going to take how many salespeople whatever it is you know how much effort is needed and you're actually going 10 times the amount of effort you think you need so what happens because of this philosophy is you actually get 100 times more than you ever thought was possible and you know I can attest it it's fucking amazing like that's literally the way I base my life philosophy so again these three books you know obviously I've had a lot of experience I've done a lot of shit you know I've learned from many people but these three books you know with my data with the experiences I've had in my life really serve to establish my model of reality of success how I conduct my life so again the first one is consistency is king whatever it is you want it doesn't matter if you do a lot or a little as long as you're consistent because it's going to compound over time and build up so that's you know regarding the importance of habits the second thing is again stay completely open-minded realize that anytime you think you know something you're basically using dogma obviously unless it's from experience true experience you know not just because you read it but because you actually experienced it fully like a scientist for example like you say okay I know millionaires are very humble people so I can say that it's not an opinion it's a fact because I've met a lot of millionaires and I know it because again I've met a lot of them not just one so again that's the model first of all again slide edge book about consistency small habits and how important they are second rule is always be open-minded don't fall into dogma and belief traps check everything out for yourself you know never disqualify anything never say anything is impossible or have an opinion about something before trying it because you're limiting yourself and the third one is again whatever your goal is multiply that by 10 and then take whatever actions you think is needed multiply that by 10 and you're basically guaranteed to attain it or at the very least attend multiply multiple times more than you wanted in the first place so I hope this is helpful I've written the summary of the three building blocks the three fundamental principles I've gleaned from the books in the description you know I'm not sure how well they would apply to your life because again everybody has different experiences different data but in my personality in my reality these three fundamental principles are everything to me how would I would die to maintain these principles thanks for listening feel free to subscribe and comment tell me what you think and let's see you soon
