Howdy all 🙏🏼

I have observed that the main piece of feedback on this video was that most of you were anticipating an objective take on the contents of each book and whether it delivered on its intended message. Not my subjective, on-the-fly opinion based on me not resonating with a book because my goals and values have changed, and my newfound preference for employing intuition over objective analysis.

My take on The Rational Male by Rollo Tomassi (in part 2) is a relevant example where I would have rated it a 5 for its intended message, but rated it a 2 because of its misalignment with my inclination for spiritual Truth.

I have taken your feedback onboard and have added 'Subjective' to the video title so that future viewers will know what to expect. Thank you for voicing your constructive criticism, it can help others 🌈.

If a made another tier list video but ranked each book objectively, would this be something you are interested in watching?

After reading so many books you aren’t moving beyond this YouTube channel so moral of the story is take action

[nij]

I'm so glad you came back. Love your content

[samsmmmm]

Great video thanks for the summaries of each book

[byronomboy]

The Magic of Thinking Big is a classic. Plenty of self-help books are just some version of that. Obstacle Is The Way will become a classic someday, an introduction into stoic principles.

[MarieBenard]

I JUST borrowed Richest Man in Babylon from the library (after Audible recommended it to me). I've read a LOT of self-help books so thanks for saving me the time of listening to / reading that one.

[MarcdeBoas]

Hey man, what's so great about the Trap if I may ask, everyone is telling me to stay away from it and that it's a waste of my money because the dude is a conspiracy theorists of some sort.

[Lumpy_Peter]

You don't have any book in godlike tier because you've read too many. I know people who only read one book in their entire life and that was The Da Vinci code. According to them this is the best book in human history and it changed their life entirely. 🤦‍♂️

[imrannazir]

In my opinion FU Money was rubbish, a thin advertisement for Dan's 'services'.
