This is a great episode! I just found Thomas the other day and I think his style is perfect for How To Adult! Some great advice here!

I don't really have a work environment at home. Like, I don't have people who I can see working/ studying and get motivated. But these videos made by you Thomas, are so damn motivating. They get me to work every single time I'm procrastinating.

The light reflections in the eyes and slight side to side motions were mesmerizing...
I also really liked the breakdown of the steps to learning!

I love learning by doing! just built a pizza oven, I skimmed a book watched a few video and decided to give it a go! one day I want to build a house! like your chunks build something small, then get bigger and read books and learn as i need to know stuff .then a house.

Thomas I have been a big fan of yours for long time; and I'm a mature lady from the UK so thank you so much for now recognising that we are never too old to learn.

I wanna shout out to everyone on the YouTube community to subscribe to his channel... he is very unique in explaining certain concepts and I love how he uses examples or phrases said by famous philosophers to convey how important a thing is to you!

[Paradoxikaa]

Really interesting video Thomas Frank 

The notion that being interested in what you are trying to learn seems to be way more important than a lot of people realize. I would argue that this is one of the main reasons why people switch out of Engineering as a major.

A lot of people believe it's because it's difficult but when it gets to such a granular level that the big picture of rockets, solar cells, and robots is lost, can you blame them for losing interest?

I'm definitely subscribing to this channel! These other videos are the bomb.

Holy cow, I only discovered the podcast Listen Money Matters (which Thomas co-hosts) about a month ago, and when I started this video, I thought, "Wait, that voice sounds familiar..." Great episode! (And a great podcast!)
