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.

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

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.

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.

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

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

Wonder if the concept of enjoyment has been introduced to him

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

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

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

Chapter 1: How to get away with a murder

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

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

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

Clearly about self help books...very interesting suggestion

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

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

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

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.

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!!!!

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

Very smart and wise at Effective Reading》

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!

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

Great advice!

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

Awesome tips Vinh!! Love reading!

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

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

Great tip!

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

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.

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.

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

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?!?!?

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?

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

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.

This is HUGE!! I love this advice

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

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

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.

Great tip! Love, love, love!

Bro didn’t read Ulysses by James Joyce ……

Oeh this is so good! Thank you!❤

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

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

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”.

Guys, just relax and enjoy your life

This has to be one of the best points that he has taught me.👍thanks man

I appreciate you sharing this! Thank you!

Great advice. I often take notes.

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.

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 🤠

So true knowledge application is important

Awesome way to look at reading

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.

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

Brilliant ....how simple and yet so effective

Amazing perspective sir. . .thanks, I'll do the same

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 ✌️

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

I am grateful that I stumple upon this short. 🙏 Exactly what I need to do !!!

❤❤❤❤love it your method man

It’ll depend on the genre

his content is pure gold!

Brilliant! Thank you!

I like this I do it too. But I think about it and sometimes take note. Also it depends on the book.

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

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

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.

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

Excellent tip. Choose books wisely.

What sort of action would you be referring to? I usually read fiction, but at the moment, I'm reading a book about math in the human brain.

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

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

That's actually a really good tip

Action: "Read a different book".

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

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

Kafka On The Shore - I guess I've got to go to Japan to find a magical stone, find a ghost, colonel sanders, a painting connected to a song, along with much other supernatural stuff 🤣

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

Love this!

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.

Interesting hand gesture at the end of the video

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

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....

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.

That can be quite interesting while reading the Kamasutra 🤣

Thank Anh Vinh for all the helpful skill and knowledge that you shared

That's a great tip❤
