When I was a teenager, reading was not the thing for me. I always thought that I will never be able to concentrate and read like 500-pages book.

Nowadays, I read 4-5 books per year, which is impressive for me because I work full-time in Clinical Research, manage a website, shoot and edit YouTube videos, and go to the gym.


The point here is, YOU CAN ALSO MANAGE TO READ SOME BOOKS :)


The books I read are not novels, but they are self-help books, neuroscience books, etc.. these types of books, usually take time to read and comprehend in contrast to novels that can be finished easily and fast.


In this article, I will provide you with 7 books that will certainly change your life because they did for mine. The videos are summaries I collected from YouTube from different creators to show you a brief about the book.


I encourage you to watch all of the videos and buy AT LEAST one of the below mentioned books and learn from it!

1) 12 Brain Rules, By John Medina


2) Eat move sleep, by Tom Rath


3) The Art of Thinking Clearly, by Rolf Dobelli:
