Why I read a book a day (and why you should too): the law of 33% | Tai Lopez | TEDxUBIWiltz

This talk was given at a local TEDx event, produced independently of the TED Conferences.

In this talk, Tai Lopez reminds us that everyone wants the good life, but not everyone gets the good life because not everyone is willing to do what it takes.

You know what I like more than materialistic things? KNOWLEDGE.

It's not about how many books you go through, it's about how many books go through you.

The fact that nobody talks about the forbidden book Making Money Your Reality speaks volumes about how people are stuck in a trance

Never trust a man who thinks it's a good idea to mix a suit with trainers. That's my mentoring done.

How does TED partner with a scam artist like that?
He has been proven to not own any of the luxury items he shows off in his "inspirational" videos.
Why hasn't TED deleted this yet?

Stop seeing a book as a onetime event, see a book as a friend. Thank you so much Tai, you gave me a new perspective towards books.

I’ve been a bookworm since childhood. It still is one of my fave ways of exploring. I was always fascinated by the power of language and how words are used to impact people.

I was awed by the way authors played with words to express their beliefs and ideas, not just to describe events.

I sincerely believe that reading does help you broaden your horizon but you shouldn’t rely on books only (like many people do). The best way is to try, test, do mistakes, try again, go through lessons and experiences of life. Especially when it comes to books around business & mindset.

I’ve noticed that nowadays many people read for the sake of showing off. Or they read a ton of books for the sake of ticking it of the list. This knowledge is worth nothing if you’re not applying it.

Reading books for the sake of reading? Not my thing.

Read books not out of FOMO (fear of missing out) just because someone recommended you a great book.

I used to read A LOT of books and always thought it was a good thing.

I was trying to absorb maximum knowledge because I thought only that way I will be able to change something in my life. The reason was lack of confidence in my own powers.

I was trying to fill the emptiness within by borrowing someone else’s experience.

But the best experience comes from living your own path, exploring yourself & your strengths.

Go out and try things.
Do things your way.
Even if it’s not mentioned in the books.
Test it out. If it doesn’t work, that’s an experience to remember.
What if it does work though?

I read a book a day. I have a poster on my wall with the words: "A Book" on it. So I read a book every day.

Prosperity is not about money. Success is not about wealth.

I found this so random. I learned nothing from this guy.

[Atman]

No use of reading those books, if you don't apply them in real life.

[LebanonRaingam]

Amazing advice. Worth watching and listening to. "Everybody wants the good life but not everybody is willing to read to get it"

[luffytrace]

read more, be perseverant and find someone better than you and copy them. Theres the video in <100 words, save yourself 20 minutes guys.

"I know I got more money than you but you know what's more important than materialistic things?"

"That's why I have a library in my garage!"

[PlasticRbt]

I mainly watched this whole talk because I was waiting for the part where he talks about reading a book a day. Then when he finally gets to that part, you find out that he, in fact, does not read a book a day, rather he kind of skims a book a day to see if there's anything in it that he deems important. Basically, this was a platform for his ego and I really didn't learn anything.

[FRISHR]

After watching this, I now have a Lamborghini in my garage while reading a book from my bookshelves for some KNAWLEDGE
