Instructions not clear. I read George Orwell's 1984 and started a revolution.

Fiction has left the chat.

I was reading Art of War and I now have a plan of action to conquer our workplace.

My action after reading a chapter is turning the page

Imagine if this guy read the Bible

Most people actually use this technique when they read dirty magazines.

Kill Sauron... f*ck...

It's OK to read, acquire knowledge, challenge that knowledge, learn what other people think about the same subject, and then make an action.

Comment section absolutely demolished the vibe check!!!! 😂❤

*Finishes a chapter of Harry Potter * writes down * ok, next step is to take my stick and practice this leviosa spell right away

Not everything has to be min-maxed, you can do things because you enjoy them and for that reason only Edit: love how this is somehow perceived as a controversial statement. Genuinely interesting to see so many people in the comments calling me stupid for not being in favour of productivity culture or for not criticizing people for what they do with their entertainment 😅 this was meant as a gentle reminder which might not have been clear, but now it is, for those that don't know.

instructions unclear: became a dark Lord of the Sith and took over the galaxy

Not every bit of knowledge turns into a single action that you must immediately take to justify having that knowledge.

Reads an ikea instruction book. Moves wooden planks across the room, then nails them into the wall.

I often feel like there's an action I should take with every single short I watch from you 😂

Instructions unclear and I’ve started a civil war between two alien races

Wonder if the concept of enjoyment has been introduced to him

Chapter 1: How to get away with a murder

Instructions unclear. I read the 48 laws of power and turned into Johan Liebert.

Feynman: The ‘pleasure’ of findings things out!!

Most of the time reading isn’t about taking action, it’s about acquiring knowledge. One example is Marc Andreessen - just listen the last interview with Lex Fridman and you’ll see the wide span of knowledge that he’s acquired, but most of all how all the bits of knowledge compliment each other. It’s almost poetic.

Me,reading Mein Kampf: *instructions unclear,I started WW3*

Clearly about self help books...very interesting suggestion

"I smoke that calculus, i don't need no computer 🤓"

This is a great way to enforce taking action. So many people read and do nothing with the knowledge they intake.

Ok, my next action: to cast the Ring into the fire

I actually just started reading House Of Leaves today and this was recommended to me. Gonna go redesign my home now! :D

Very smart and wise at Effective Reading》

Everything I hear from you is extremely helpful. Thank you for sharing your knowledge and making it relatable. 🤙🏽

Watch it.. some books arent made for direct action. Like 48 rules of power.

Guys, just relax and enjoy your life

That kind of goes along with a previous segment where he says something along the lines of 'the best way to grow is to work outside your comfort zone' completing an action that you wouldn't normally do is to some extent putting yourself outside your own comfort zone.

Mind blown right now!! 🤯 I never realized how obsessed with “knowledge acquisition” I have been. This one bit knowledge will now lead me into a new level of reading and action! THANK YOU!!!!

This guy is a gem, fantastic insights I dont see anyone else talking about.

I don't overcomplicate it; I will take an action after every word! The exact action I take...Bro, does everything have to absolutely be so darn meaningfully?!?!?

Remember guys: reading is a waste of time unless it makes you more productive. Model your thoughts, actions, desires, and personality into a machine of capital acquisition because that's what life is about 🤠

Instructions unclear: I joined a 1812 Russian military regiment to fight Napoleon and married a twelve year old

Great advice!

I do exactly that! My books are full of “read the next chapter” written in the margins. So fulfilling to make a plan and stick to it. Sometimes I mix it up with “go get a cup of coffee”.

Thanks for the instructions! I tend to read about many new innovative methods to be productive and end up not using even a single one of them😅. Will start using your instructions right away!

My name is Yoshikage Kira. I'm 33 years old. My house is in the northeast section of Morioh, where all the villas are, and I am not married. I work as an employee for the Kame Yu department stores, and I get home every day by 8 PM at the latest. I don't smoke, but I occasionally drink. I'm in bed by 11 PM, and make sure I get eight hours of sleep, no matter what. After having a glass of warm milk and doing about twenty minutes of stretches before going to bed, I usually have no problems sleeping until morning. Just like a baby, I wake up without any fatigue or stress in the morning. I was told there were no issues at my last check-up. I'm trying to explain that I'm a person who wishes to live a very quiet life. I take care not to trouble myself with any enemies, like winning and losing, that would cause me to lose sleep at night. That is how I deal with society, and I know that is what brings me happiness. Although, if I were to fight I wouldn't lose to anyone.

bro i read fantasy. do you really want me to take down the 1000 year tyranny of the morally grey starter antagonist by drawing upon the physical manifestation of god to take out his cool piercings?

"Knowledge is not enough we must apply, willing is not enough we must do"-Bruce Lee

I'm watching this the day before my due date and restrospectively thinking how much I could've accomplished if i had come across this video earlier. Really one of the best videos on the topic out there.

Great tip!

I read a lot of murder mystery novels.... Soooo... What do I do??

This is better than trying to find someone with an interest in the subject then boring them with the ideas word for word to recall why it was good to read.

Well, now i have to go buy a D'Lorean.

This is one of the most brilliant ideas I've heard. I read a lot and I do wonder about retention. This should help.

I wonder where did he read the action that made him have this haircut

So true knowledge application is important

no matter how many books u have read, it is always important to apply the knowledge from those books in real life.

I'm a novel addict and in just the day I've read 200+ chapters... That means 200 pending actions...?

Bro didn’t read Ulysses by James Joyce ……

I do that too. I'm actually reading Jordan Petersons beyond order, and I've re read each chapter at least twice. I will write things down and add to them, or highlight things I should do to better my life, then I attempt it immediately to see how I feel about it. One thing I did was make my room as beautiful as possible, it took a couple months, but I enjoyed every minute of it, and then end product. It not only inspired creativity, but it also made me realize how much I enjoy organizing things.

Aight, so this week I befriended a dragon. My plans for the month include freeing the world from an evil sorcerer and marrying into a wealthy empire

This is the most powerful message available anywhere on KZfaq without question.

This advice is from the Bible. “But be doers of the word, and not hearers only, deceiving yourselves.” ‭‭James‬ ‭1‬:‭22‬

I do the same thing 'read the next chapter'. On a serious note, you could summarise the chapter which may help you with your reading skills.

I am now a wizard. But every month or so i am visiting a doctor and taking a pill every day. But no worries, I will be one of the best wizards there is.

" Read the book like as one chapter is a full revolution " -Sun Tzu

Awesome tips Vinh!! Love reading!

Did this with Anna Karenina. I had a great time with it, but my wife was not happy with me.

Sometimes it’s not about application, or anything at all. You don’t need to optimise everything. Just enjoy your book and read it again in a few years if you need to

This is great advice. So many times I’ll read through a book and at the end I haven’t applied what I’ve read. So I go back but it’s never as impactful as when I’m e first read it, and I’m not as motivated.

Action: "Read a different book".

This could translate to every 1 short, 1 action. 1 short I watch, 1 comment, and 1 application I will do. 🤝

This is actually a really great idea and so simple! thank you very much for this!

Man's only been reading IKEA manuals 😂

Instructions unclear. Now I’m part of a tv show where I have to kill 23 other contestants so I can win

This technique mostly applies to self development books or related genres. I totally agree with his point. The bottom line is you get better by applying what you know. You won't become fit by mastering the best way to lift a weight but by lifting the weight. The best example is professors in universities that teach business, they're not the billionaires of the world....

While I did plan on doing yearly/monthly reflections. I never thought of asking myself how well/bad I did in those times and giving myself a week to reflect on myself on if I was enough. I can unfortunately say that this half of the year has gone through like a click in a bad way and am trying to steer myself away from that feeling that I did nothing good for myself or others. Wish myself and others who struggle in different ways the best of luck in the future ✌️

Instructions unclear. I’ve now split the red sea…

The library frowns upon writing in the books . 😂

I have to only read manuals or something because all the interesting books would immediately win a Darwin Award. Almost picked up HP Lovecraft… that would have been a grave mistake.

Ooooooh…. An Asian, who wears glasses with a British accent… he must be smart AF!!!

After reading self help books when you failed to apply that knowledge to your life, you will feel like failure. It's called No - win situation. And after that your situation will feel like it got worsen.

I love this idea. I’m going to start implementing this habit.

This is HUGE!! I love this advice

It’ll depend on the genre

Tried this with Being and Time. All the actions were the same though: banging my head against the desk muttering "stupid, stupid, why am I so stupid?"

Awesome way to look at reading

I just finished reading a Warhammer 40K book. I'm not quite sure what I'm supposed to do next.

Nice! I will do this too as soon as Im able to read 🙌

The reason I read that book because that's a dope ass book and I am just a simp for well written fantasy 😂😂

Not sure exactly how I can turn into a giant bug. But I guess I have a week to figure it out.

Guys stop, he isnt talking about taking action about every single book that you read, he is taking about non-fiction, self-help, self improvement etc books.

A summary on why I hardly finish books.

Could apply this in writing a book as well if it is supposed to be a motivational or inspirational story.

Alex Hormozi said if a book doesn't change how you behave, it's not worth reading. I also never read any book, but rather when a problem popps up on my way I look up for a book that solves that very problem.

I will always start by taking 3 points from each book i read and turn them into action. Maybe after this I'll try to take 1 action per chapter. 😊

That's actually a really good tip

Great tip! Love, love, love!

فيه صحابي قالت له امه قبل ١٤٠٠+ سنة، بما معناه، ان اذا التعليم لم يفيدك بحياتك وتحسين اخلاقك، اتركه نسيت اسمه

Brilliant ....how simple and yet so effective

Thanks you for sharing. This simple method can be very powerful if applied. Compound interest in Knowledge and Wisdom

thank you this helps a lot. i noticed the disconnect between knowledge acquisition and application but wasn't sure how to fix that problem. thank you for the new tip. 1 chapter -> 1 action

Instructions unclear. Warhammer 40,000 AD novels led me to begin work on creating Larraman’s cells. 😂😂😂

Right. I'm off to learn how to ride giant sandworms. - dune is a great book can't wait for next chapter

*reads chapter* Action : I'm gonna read the next chapter.
