Please summarize for me the following Youtube transcription:
today we're going to rank over 35 Plus different books popular in the self-improvement sphere I'm sure there are many that are missing on this list if you don't see a particular book here it means I either haven't read it or I don't remember much about it we'll categorize each book into one of four tiers the S tier are for the must reads these are books that can drastically change your life in multiple areas under that is the AIDS here which are great books especially when it comes tosolving a specific problem then it's the Beats here which are okay books they can help you with a specific problem but probably are not the best book I would recommend for the subject and then finally we have the C tier which is for books that I don't really recommend reading with that being said let's Jump Right In starting off we have one of the most recommended books in the self-improvement world which is How to Win Friends and Influence People by Dale Carnegie now this is a good book but I think it's gotten to the point wherebasically everyone has read it there are also certain tips in there that are a bit outdated in my opinion such as using a person's name frequently overall it's a pretty easy read and I do still recommend it for people that want to start working on their social skills so overall I put this into the AIDS here next up on the list we got Rich Dad Poor Dad by Robert Kiyosaki what's good about this book is that it's an extremely easy read I remember finishing it in just two days while commuting to school in thesubway personally I think it's a great introduction to Growing one's wealth and it forces you to question the purpose of school which so many of us are forced into the book teaches you how people truly get rich overall I would put this into the S tier because it really changed my perspective on things it opened my eyes to how the wealthy Elite make money next up we got the secret by Rhonda Byrne to be honest when I first came across this book over a decade ago I thought it was silly believing that your mere thoughts could attract certainthings into your life but over the years I started believing that your thoughts do play a huge role they do control your actions which ultimately takes you to whatever goal you want so if you're able to constantly think optimistic about a certain goal all day chances are you'll actually get closer to it overall I would place this into the beads here it's an interesting book one that you could read out of curiosity because there are so many Believers and also because some of the advice in there might actually benefit you next up isatomic Habits by James clear this is the one book that I refer to the most when creating content on habits it's one of the easiest to read books on the subject while still giving you some pretty good advice on things that would increase your chances of building a habit successfully it's really well written so you can probably get through it in just a few days overall I would put this into the S tier if you're new to building habits this is a must read it covers most of the basics and gives you aviable strategy for building and sticking to your first habit then we got the subtle art of not giving an F by Mark Manson I read this book a few years ago thinking that it would be a fun read Because I'm a huge fan of Mark Manson but to be honest I didn't get much out of it I remember finishing the book and thinking huh is that it I think it may have been because I don't struggle with if giving too many F's in life so I didn't learn much from the book but after seeing how popular of a book itbecame after that I realized that maybe it is a book that could help other people who do care a bit too much about what others think so overall I'd put this into the low beats here next up We Got The Power of Habit by Charles duhigg this was actually the book that I referred to the most when building the tamed course many years ago it's a good book but I think compared to Atomic habits it's a harder read and a bit more outdated nowadays so overall I placed this into the Beats here then we got thePower of Now by a cartel which is a book that I must have given away to over 20 people by now when I first read this book I was 18 and didn't know what to do with my life I was someone that was easily overwhelmed with emotions and would act without thinking this book gave me perspective it taught me that I am not my emotions that the concept of I might not even exist to begin with it's a really mind-blowing book that really changed my life so I'll put this into the S tier but I do tell most people toonly read the first half of the book because the second half starts speaking about more religious subjects and that may or may not be your cup of tea next up we have models by Mark Manson which is supposed to be a book for dating but I see it as a book that's good for all relationships it teaches you how to attract with honesty and it also teaches you to adopt a abundance mindset in life basically the idea that it's okay to get rejected because it's impossible for everyone to like you this is the numberone book that I recommend people to read if they have a hard time dating and making friends it's a very easy and enjoyable read so overall I'd put this into the S tier next up we have Think and Grow Rich by Napoleon Hill which is one of the first self-improvement books I ever read back in high school Napoleon interviewed hundreds of the most successful people of his time and wrote about what they had in common the mindset and strategies they use to succeed overall I would put this into the EST here especially for anyonelooking to improve the wealth aspect of their life then we got a new Earth by Eckhart Tolle I'll be honest I'm a huge Eckhart fan but this book was not it for me I simply did not enjoy reading it it speaks more about Humanity as a whole and how we all need to get to a new level of Consciousness it shares a lot of the same ideas as The Power of Now however the Power of Now is an easier read and is more applicable to your day-to-day life so I'm gonna have to put this into the seats here it's a bookthat you can check out if you're curious about that specific idea but it's not really a book I would recommend to anyone who wants to focus on their self-improvement then we have the arts of seduction by Robert Greene which teaches you how to become more attractive now this applies to both romantic and platonic relationships he teaches you what things pull people in and what Things Push people away understanding all of this can help you develop your own style and become a more attractive person so overall I would putthis into the a tier it's ranked lower than models because models is a way easier read and a better beginner's guide The Art of Seduction is extremely detailed which might be overwhelming for beginners looking to improve their social skills then we have Man's Search for meaning by Victor Frankel this is a true story about how Victor survived living in a Nazi concentration camp during World War II it's a book that speaks about our need to have meaning in our lives if we want to survive and thrive it's a powerful book that reallyputs things into perspective it also goes over multiple ways to develop purpose and meaning in life overall I would put this into the high a tier as it is a book that really changed the way I saw things but now that I think about it more and more people are struggling with finding meaning in life nowadays so I think I would actually move this into the S tier this episode is sponsored by blinkist a platform that will help you expand your knowledge and speed up your personal growth blinkus provides insights from a curated selection

this book in one sitting on New Year's Day many years ago it's a great book that speaks about how small simple habits that improve your life by just one percent per day can lead to massive success it's not thebest book on building habits but it sure is a motivational one that gives you reasons for building and sticking to habits in the first place overall I would put this into the lower AIDS here next up we have can't hurt me by David Goggins I actually listened to this book at the gym and boy was it motivational it's basically an autobiography about how David went from an overweight nobody into arguably the most hardcore person on the planet it really puts things into perspective about the limits of thehuman body overall I would put this into the AIDS here it's a book that you definitely have to read if you're someone who complains about the cards you were dealt in life because David really shows you how anything is possible if you believe enough then we have 12 rules of Life by Jordan Peter Anderson this is a book that goes over 12 things that Dr Peterson thinks that we should live by I actually enjoyed this book quite a lot it was an easy read and I am a fan of these lists books and I agree with most of the 12 rulesthat he lays out overall I would put this into the low age here it's a good book to read but there are definitely better books out there for solving specific problems this is more like a book to read for expanding your overall thinking then we got the four hour work week by Tim Ferriss which basically goes over how it's possible to build an automated business so that you only have to work four hours a week the truth is you'll probably work much more than four hours per week but even then it's onlypossible after spending a lot more time setting up the initial business but this is still a good book in that it teaches you that such a thing is even possible I read this before I started trying to create an online business and it definitely pushed me in this direction the second half of the book is basically just resources for tools and things that you can use to build such businesses many of which are outdated overall all I wouldn't even recommend people to read the entire book just the first half which convinces you that building anonline business is even possible I would put this into the lower beats here as I feel like it's quite outdated but still a fun read then we got meditations by Marcus Aurelius this is a compilation of philosophical writings by one of the greatest Roman emperors in history a lot of people considered this to be one of the greatest self-improvement books out there I agree in the sense that it's the most well-known book on stoicism and it covers the importance of thinking rationally discipline and learning toaccept things that are outside of your control but I'm gonna have to put this into the low a tier because it's not an easy read it's written in a very outdated style as you would expect from a 2000 year old piece of text which actually brings us to the down to Ching by laozer which is considered to be the birthplace of taoism now this isn't really a self-improvement book it's more like a philosophical semi-religious text but it really influenced me it made me feel more comfortable in times of stressand over the years as as I Revisited the text I've learned more things such as learning how to tap into the Flow State more often and using it to bring more happiness into my life like meditations it's not an easy read but I would still rank this in the S tier as it is a personal favorite of mine that I've Revisited many times before in the past then we got.com secrets and expert Secrets by Russell Brunson who is one of the best internet marketers alive today these two books are part of a series that goes over how to make money online in extreme detail they go over the importance of building an audience and also how to monetize overall I would put this into the low a tier it's only useful if you're interested in creating some sort of online business next up we have the laws of human nature by Robert Greene this is one of my favorite Robert Greene books but then again I like allof his books it's a huge textbook that goes over why humans act a certain way it's a great book if you want to master social skills because it goes through dozens of examples of people and why they did what they did however it's a pretty pretty difficult read and there's probably too much information in there so it's not as practical as the other stuff on this list so I'm gonna have to put it into the high B tier then we got the five second rule by Mel Robbins which is basically where you count downfrom five whenever you find yourself wanting to do something but second doubting yourself such as when you want to spark up a conversation with someone overall it's a decent book it can convince you to believe in the five second rule which is honestly very effective it's extremely practical but I do wonder if you need an entire book to learn this one lesson overall I would put it into the high beats here especially if you're someone who struggles with procrastination or taking action in general then we have themillionaire fast lane by MJ DeMarco which teaches you how to become a millionaire by building a business it's considered to be the best Financial Freedom book out there these days because of how practical the advice is personally I found Russell brunson's book more enjoyable but that's because I was building a very specific type of business us which Russell's books touch on more the millionaire Fastlane is a better read if you aren't exactly sure what type of business to build in the first place in fact it's the number onebook that people recommend for all starting entrepreneurs so I'm gonna have to put this into the S tier then we got the 48 Laws of Power by Robert Greene a book so powerful that prisons sometimes ban inmates from reading it so they don't manipulate the guards it's basically a book that teaches you about the many rules and strategies of the power games that people play this is helpful for people dealing with trouble at work or at school it's a book that basically everyone that wants to climb to the top has to read with that it'sthe most powerful of Robert Greene's books so it's going to have to be placed into the S tier especially if you're someone who falls victim to bullying and things of such nature just make sure to use the contents of the book for good and not evil next up we have deep work by Cal Newport which is a great book that teaches you how to get into a state of intense Focus so that you can accomplish whatever work or project you've set out to do this is a powerful and practical book that is especiallyhelpful nowadays in this world filled with distractions and shortened attention spans overall I put this into the lower a tier it's definitely one of the best books out there when it comes to countering procrastination then we have the Seven Habits of Highly Effective People by Stephen Covey which is one of the most recommended self-improvement books out there it's very much like 12 rules of Life by Jordan Peterson in that it gives you seven different mindsets and habits that you should stick to it's a good book buta quite long read and because it doesn't solve a specific problem extremely well I'm going to have to rank it next to 12 rules of life in the low a tier next up we have influence the psychology of persuasion this is a very well-known book in the sales World it teaches you the fundamentals of persuasion how and why people are influenced by certain things it's definitely a book that you have to read if you ever want to start your own business or make money doing sales so I'm putting it into the mid atier then we have Mastery by Robert Greene which he actually wrote because he felt like his previous books such as 48 Laws of Power were teaching people how to manipulate and use others so he wanted to write something that would help people better themselves and reach the peak of their potential Mastery is basically a guide on how to find your calling in life and then become the master at it personally I don't think it's as great as his other books because a lot of the insights seem kind of obvious to me but I think it's an okayread if you're young and still don't know what to do with your life overall I would put this into the high B tier next up we have awakened the giant Within by Tony Robbins this is a book that goes over a couple of powerful ideas that you can use to improve your life and quote unquote awaken the giant within it's a decent read but it's not an easy one as it's quite long it also mentions the use of NLP neuro-linguistic programming quite a lot which in my opinion only sometimes works for people overall I'dput this into the high beats here because there are better books out there for specific problems then we have Flow by mihai which is a great book that covers everything you you need to know about the Flow State now this is a state that you definitely need to master if you want to be able to get work done and also have fun with others the flow state is one of the most enjoyable states of mind that we humans can enter and the more you learn to do it the better your overall life should become overall I would put this into the mid 8th hereit's definitely a book you should read if you have a hard time focusing or finding joy in life next up we have the obstacle is the way by Ryan holiday which is kind of a beginner's guide to using stoicism to overcome obstacles in the Modern Age personally I think this is a way easier read than meditations by Marcus Aurelius and it's also arguably much more practical so I would place this slightly above meditations as I would actually recommend this book over that but I would still recommend both ifyou are truly interested in becoming a stoic then we got the way of the superior man by David Dida which focuses on self-improvement for men it's a good read with some interesting ideas that you won't see in most other self-improvement books this is actually where I first came across the idea of sexual transmutation which ultimately led me to discovering nofap overall I would put this into the AIDS here as I do think every man should give this book or read at least once in their life next up we have how to stop worrying andstart living by Dale Carnegie who is also the author of How to Win Friends and Influence People this is his lesser-known book which does a good job giving you tips to overcome worrying it's an extremely practical book that is just as good as his others if you're someone who overthinks things and spends too much time dwelling on the past then this is a book that you must read which is why it deserves a spot in the mid a tier then we got the six pillars of self-esteem by Nathaniel Brandon which is all about increasing your self-worthin your eyes something that almost all of us struggle with the book does provide good tips on how to do this but in my opinion it is quite a difficult read I feel like there are other books out there that are easier to consume such as models by Mark Manson which in my opinion does an equally as good job in boosting one's self-esteem so overall I'm gonna have to put this into the mid B tier next up we have The Four Agreements by Don Miguel which is about Four Agreements that you need to make with yourself in order to live a greatlife the problem I had with this book was that it was simply boring in my opinion the agreement seemed obvious and the book felt repetitive so overall I would put this into the low B tier there are much better books like this such as 12 rules of life or even 7 Habits which are easier reads and also deliver more interesting tips in my opinion and finally on our list we have emotional intelligence by Daniel Goldman which speaks about EQ also known as emotional intelligence now there is some controversy as to whether or not EQ evenexists in the way IQ exists my take on it is that it's something that can be trained and this book is a good book to check out if you're interested in the subject however there are much better books out there for improving one's social skills so I'm gonna have to put this into the high beats here as it's not as practical and that's it this is how I would rank the most well-known books in the south Improvement Niche let me know what you think in the comments down below besides that stay tuned
