i'm so here for this series!!! love this, can't wait to see more

[sincerelyinfluenced]

Started reading books last year and my life has improved in a great way actually, now I make sure to read 1 hour everyday.

[DoctorAzmain]

I’m still trying to form that “clear vision”. I became a doctor to help people but I want to do social media stuff like you, Ali – to educate people and have a greater impact! I’m trying to be more productive in a sustainable way without burning myself out. It’s hard, but I’ll keep trying! Go #TeamSeas!

[Pikachuuuu]

I like in person meetings or phone calls because I feel like I'm more in control of how what I'm saying is perceived. I've noticed that I've left a more friendly and better impression on people when on a call with them or when I meet them.

[IsaacJoshi]

I love Ali's way of thinking so much, can literally talk about any topic and I'm hooked

[zekmaro]

“Elon if you’re watching” no he doesn’t, that’s why he’s Elon musk

[seekingdepth]

I used to love reading when I was a teenager but somehow stopped reading when I started my first job. I read only 2 books in 2020. But Thanks to Ali I dared to buy a Kindle this August. And I’ve finished 5 GOOD books this year and halfway through the 6th! ❤️

[iridescentsoul]

I love how Ali's videos always give me an energy boost and some sort of clarity whenever I need a break from my studies

[LearningandTechnology]

Love the book - but love the #teamseas even more! Glad you made a video for this important project.

You missed "Ability to go extreme to make things happen, I remember reading musk, his brother and one more person go for cycling other 2 reach quite comfortably on top of mountain musk has to push through hard he becomes fully red faced, but he doesn't gives up "

[NathalieLazo]

Ali is my favorite person on YouTube. Thank you for working super smart while caring for others to succeed at the same time! Challenging balance and Ali is a great advocate of that. Thank you for inspiring and impacting us all. Will make a video on how you have made an impact on me regarding making money from YouTube. Receive this, you’re the best! 👍🏼😊

[yke]

The guy who changed how I see my self and the world, thanks Ali 🥰

[ZoeysMusings]

I'm here for the Case studies series 🙌🏽 I agree that showers are the best things ever. Some of my best ideas and problem-solving are thanks to a shower😂

[marelmaat]

Love this series! Actually I don’t read (shy) so this kinds of videos will help me to hear the summarized version of the books 🤩 thank you Ali!

[ThisisFit]

Thank you, Ali! Especially appreciate the tip about books--always sensing that I should read more. Thank you for breaking down the philosophies of people we might want to emulate!

[keshmeshnakhuutt]

One of your BEST videos Dr.Abdaal! More thorough case-studies like this one pls! One Word: Spectacular!

[DarthOreo]

Thankyou for your lessons ali! I always enjoy watching your videos and you inspire me to get out of my bed and do something productive!

[joeykenney]

Fantastic book. Definitely recommended reading. We might not be able to reach the level of success that Musk has, but he has a lot to teach us about how we think and interact with the world

Wow. I decided in the shower today to change the focus of my YouTube channel. The idea just came to me, and I immediately felt peace about it. Thanks for sharing.
