As a parent I can confirm the two BEST changes I made for my mental health and overall family productivity/flow were 1- have last meal right after school (a small snack before bed for kids if needed) and 2-sleep when your kids sleep! Sometimes I wake early like Tom mentioned but trying to stay up later always backfired for me the next day.

bad start: point one is functionalism: “the truth is whatever moves you towards your goals.” Sociopaths may also value this efficiency.

There are amazing apps that let you read fast. Spritz one of them.
@J_MrSky Says:
The Youtube algorithm is insane for not recommending this video more. As someone who's constantly consuming mindset content and trying to find the nature of things (I call it the "Why"), the amount of value in just 40 minutes of this video is wild
@BOSTONSPIDER Says:
Good stuff....thanks for sharing.
@Isaac-eq1im Says:
If you believe you can, you can. Keep that in mind
@astad7694 Says:
Hi - @TomBilyeu, would you consider creating this type of video for teenagers? My teenage child would never listen to a video for 1h30. But he might if a video lasts up to 15 minutes :) Thanks!
@utuberoku2475 Says:
At 72 this gramma finds what you have to say refreshing and I’ll pass it forward. I’m interested in the electric plasma stuff cuz I know nothing about it. Yet because you’re so inquisitive, you would be excellent in interviewing an expert in the field. Would be nice if you would consider it. Thx keep up the good work👍
@thedarkriver1 Says:
Tom is the REALIST dude on YouTube. No BS, ALL TRUTH
@thedarkriver1 Says:
Fuck that noize!! 👏
@greyhnd001 Says:
Oil is 100 percent fat. Eggs are full of saturated fat and cholesterol same with all the meat. Eggs meat dairy have no fiber or phytonutrients. If you eat alot of potatoes and whole grains and lentils/beans and veggies and fruits you will live longer and have less sickness, help the invironment and save animals lives.

My life wouldn’t have improved as much without Tom’s video .. I learned sooo much from him the past 4 years 🙏🏼
@DJSTOEK Says:
😃😷😷
@tarmulot Says:
Always grateful for all the knowledge and insight. I have noticed that you curse a whole lot less than when I first started watching and following you. Was it a deliberate change or adjustment in delivering your content?
@lisawilliams8364 Says:
This is amazing. Glad you clarified what ‘reading’ means. Todays world doesn’t always permit physically reading books regularly. Great video!😊
@Icelander00 Says:
Thanks
@nancyayars736 Says:
You're awesome and so is this video! Thank you Tom!!!
@adityasankannavar4559 Says:
Thanks i need this🤍
@StephenDix Says:
It's a bit weird experiencing such familiarity, identification, and humility with your content, challenges and style.
It takes a real pro's prose to make me uncomfortable like this. Thank you.
@oredaze Says:
One thing you can improve is change your mindset about working out. You said over and over how much you dislike working out. That's negative self talk. Convince yourself you like working out and that it's fun.
@growithjoy Says:
This is so good, especially that tip to speed things up, why didn't I do that all along, I do sometimes but not for most things. Once I sped this video to 1.5x it got so much better because it seemed like you were not just talking to me, but scolding me. Don't waste time. Gather skills not ideas. I couldn't help but say - Yes sir.

Excellent relativity, and clear explanation of concepts in common language/dialog.
Excellent production quality.
Thanks for sharing!

Some information/advice are great. Some might be not, or even dangerous. Hustler culture will prove itself to be wrong. For Tom to say he finds the body “boring” and it’s good to do everything with aggression, I tried it for years. It’s NOT GOOD for your mental health nor spirit. It might get you to (financially) success, but it does help you to be a whole human being. Whole in spirit and soul and in the heart. We can achieve success in many ways, but what does success do for you when you exhaust yourself, don’t love and appreciate your body as much as you appreciate your mind? Don’t follow anything blindly. Older philosophy and wisdom are as important as the hustler culture information. If not even more important for our human existence as a whole. Truly, it’s the big picture not: what can I do to be successful, maximize everything, faster, better, stronger. More more more. Slow down. Breath. It’s more to this world than money, body and success, admiration and progress. I learnt it the hard way.
@EnergyAndLightAwakening Says:
Wow this is amazing. It's like my own personal session with Tom. I appreciate you!! Much gratitude 🙏🙏🙏
@erickopes1066 Says:
That's not reading... That's listening. They are different tom. But still a good way to take in information. Just don't call it reading
@toomaz-dj Says:
You have no idea the Great Impact that you have in my life!
@MrPatvee Says:
I can't believe how much Darwinian and heliocentric crap Tom believes.
@carloflores2490 Says:
Thank you for helping us live better!! God blessed you!!
@rjreddenbaker4351 Says:
Does watching videos like this "count" as reading?
@barbaralopez265 Says:
I love this Man - Thank you Tom - you are so authentic - Thank you for your motivation!
@josiahlopez5545 Says:
This is a very stupid video. Sorry you're this confused tom.
@Pushlife365 Says:

@ateljebojc Says:
Amm, very thankful for ypour teachings, but isnt 50% good a value and to become 100% better to become 100% good at something in your reach isnt that 2times better not 100x ?
@PedroGuzmánnimbus Says:
Good to read, I use to real 7 Brooks at same time since child, all open in different places of the house. Even in my car later I read audio Brooks,, so much curiosity, but older I quit, began to select only few Books, high frequency, and now I dont read so much, I write a lot esay, and compose, look videos, and play music now. I AM NOT GOING. No much need of comun knowledge, this is a low plane, you get more from inside when you get to that, if it is your fortuna.
@vincentpagano1686 Says:
Do you take any supplements?
@thomaswipf7986 Says:
lol, My brain is not a jumbled mess. I'm not sure if I can make it any further.
@a.j.3637 Says:
Appreciate all you shared. I'm not that familiar with this type of diet. No high cholesterol concerns?
