- Fuck every other Julien.
- Yeah. Every other, Julian Assange, Julian ...
- Clerc.
- Who the fuck is that?
- Doré.
Fuck you, man.
- Fuck you guys.
- Fuck ... (laughs)
Yo, was geht ab?
This is Max from Real Social Dynamics
and with none other than JulienHimself.
- You want to know it. - Himself.
And we're in Las Vegas, actually,
overlooking parts of the fucking city.
And in this video we'll be talking about
how to read a lot of books really fast
and we will actually be breaking down
our own personal reading hacks that helped
literal illiterates, illiterals, literates like me.
Can't even say the word.
Read a ton of books and so can you.
So, check it out.
And let's talk first about the importance of reading books.
Why the fuck should you even read books?
Why should you sit down, open a boring book
with no pictures, why should we even read the books?
And you said that earlier to me,
you're the average of the things that you consume, right?
- Yeah. How exactly did you say that?
- Yeah, there's that famous quote,
like you're the average of the five people
you spend the most time with,
which I'm sure you've heard before.
But that also applies to everything in your environment.
Like you're the sum of all these influences.
And if you sit down and do like a quick audit
on what's influencing you,
it's not very good.
- Yeah. - You know?
- Mainstream media, and even if you're like
"I don't even have a TV.
"I don't watch that."
It's still being blasted at you wherever you go,
you hear conversations, people at work,
people you see in the street.
It's just like mainstream media,
dumb shit, gossip, ads,
buy this, you need that, watered down advice.
Like even the advice, like if you try to find good advice,
it's all watered down.
- Aw man, yeah. - You know?
- And you're looking around and you're like
"What the fuck".
Like that is influencing you and you need to
proactively inject some high quality influences
in your life and books, I mean,
it's cheap, it's easy, and you go straight to the source
of someone who's spent a lot of time,
you know, putting their best ideas into words.
It being in this very high state of consciousness
writing it and that kind of transfers onto you.
And you can download all the greatest minds alive.
And it's so easy. - Yeah, it's incredible.
- And even free.
Like if you might be watching this on someone else's phone,
like looking over because you're too broke to have a phone,
and you're like, "Oh, get books.
"I don't have any money."
Go to a fuckin' public library.
- Oh, yeah. - It's free.
- I mean, go to Barnes & Noble's, sit there
with like a glass of water, sit like everyday,
spend an hour there.
Pick up the book out of the shelf and start reading it.
You don't even have to buy it theoretically.
- Dude, Barnes & Noble- - They're gonna hate us.
- They are starting to shut down but there's still a few.
That was my church.
That was my temple. - Yeah.
- You know, I'd go there
and literally sometimes spend the entire day.
Like, I'd walk in, and Owen would do this too,
and we'd pick out our selections.
Right?
Oh, you know, get this nice, big stack of books.
And then, just sit there and spend hours
just going through them, reading them.
The ones that really stood out, you know,
it's like you buy them.
But it is just awesome.
That is your temple of knowledge.
That's your church.
That's where you go and pray
and just take in that knowledge.
- From the masters.
And by the way, before we go get into our
personal book hacks that are really, really
fucking epic, by the way,
the question's gonna come up,
"Max and Julien, what are the books you recommend?"
La di da, do you have a booklist.
You have a booklist, julienhimself.com?
- Yeah, julienhimself.com/books.
Go check it out. - Check it out.
- We'll have it appear here on the screen.
Same for rsdmax.com/books.
There's your booklist.
There's my booklist.
Don't ask us, it's right there.
Okay?
You can check it out.
And let's start with the reading hacks.
So, my biggest reading hack,
you might have heard me talk about this,
Audible.
- Mm-hmm.
- Audible.
It's a freakin' app on your phone.
You don't even have to read the book yourself anymore.
Someone else reads it for you.
Audible, okay.
And that's really cool because the books on there
are quite cheap as well.
If you sign up for,
if you sign up for Audible,
the paid version of it or something like that,
you get one book for free.
It's really, really cool.
And what I like about Audible is,
or any audio books for that matter,
I put it in my ears and I can do other shit.
So, most of the guys watching this,
you probably go to your job at some point.
You probably commute 30 minutes to two hours
a day on average.
Now, you can sit there playing fucking phone games,
you can sit there scrolling through Facebook,
aka poisoning your mind.
Like you said earlier, being the average
of the bullshit that you're getting in your head.
Or you have someone read a fucking audio book for you.
Right?
I used to walk 20 minutes to the gym five times a week,
20 minutes to the gym, 20 minutes back to the gym;
I listen to an audio book.
I listen to it in double the speed.
So, I get 40 minutes of reading in
just on my way to the gym, 40 minutes back.
That's an hour and a half, basically,
of content that I'm getting in my brain.
Same goes for cooking, whatever the fuck it is.
Now, many people say,
"But do you remember a lot of those things?"
We will talk about this later on,
how to really retain all the knowledge from there.
And I think you get used to it a lot.
I was used to actually reading books
and then like remembering the content,
but you get used to having it in your ear just as much.
And if you really think about it,
this is bro science, but if you think about it,
thousands of years ago how was knowledge being passed on?
Well, you had the disciple and a teacher, you know,
sitting at a little fire, at a camp fire,
And he would verbally bring all his knowledge on.
So, it's not like we're made to never have
audio content in our brain.
We are actually kinda are.
So, yeah, and the cool thing, again, at audio books
is you can change the speed.
If you listen to it in a foreign language,
it's too fast, you can make it slower.
If you're like fuck this,
this guy's reading it too slow,
you can speed it up.
You get much more reading knowledge in.
The cool thing too, nowadays, things like audio books,
you have it on your phone.
So, you don't have to carry a book or nothing.
You have it on your phone.
You can get it offline during your flight,
wherever the fuck it is.
You can listen to it.
Done. - Yeah.
- What's your reading hacks?
- My reading hacks?
I just want to add on what you said here, it's true.
Back in the day, I remember traveling with piles of books.
- Yeah, yeah. - You know?
- Now, it's like all on your phone.
And the cool thing too, with like Audible, is
you don't even have to know how to read to read books.
Like you can be completely illiterate for real.
You're looking at this like "What are these words?"
They read it for you.
You have no excuse.
- You click on the book icon, you know?
This looks like the ...
- And it's like picture and you just listen, okay?
- Done.
- No excuse, so- - No excuse.
- Like there's so many people that's like
"Oh, I'm dyslexic."
No excuse.
Read it out. Having someone read it out for you.
Done.
- For real. And, I like what you said too,
it's like we spend so much time commuting,
it's like take in that knowledge.
You do this everyday, like a little habit.
Like boom.
Plug it in.
You will be amazed by how the quality
of your life just increased.
And the way I personally go about it is,
here's some of my hacks.
So, Audible is key and I usually have like
two/three books going on there at all times.
Like two/three books a week,
just non-stop listening to them.
Then, what I also do is,
on the opposite side, if it's like a key book ...
You gotta classify these books.
Some are like easy to listen to,
just good to just always have in your ear.
Some you want to spend a lot of time on them
just really sucking in that information.
You know, those big books you just kind of go back to,
those bibles. - Yeah.
And for those, I'll actually buy
the physical copy and spend a ton of time.
Like sit there, really take it in, take pauses.
And even read those books in like one to two months,
like taking it in big time.
And then, in the middle,
and this is probably my favorite way
but it does require more time investment
than just Audible, is downloading the Kindle
or, you know, the PDF of the book on your computer,
and I open it up on one screen,
like on one side of the screen, and on the other side
I have a little note, you know, file.
And the way I read them , and this is amazing
for speed reading but also quality speed reading,
is I'm gonna read through it and every sentence
or quote that stands out and speaks to me,
I'm gonna copy and paste it in the text file.
And the cool thing about this is that
instead of you reading every single word
and reading very slowly or trying to speed read
and you miss stuff; your mind is like you kind of
get in touch with your selective focus,
your IAS, and you're just looking for those
quality sentences that speak to you,
which is ultimately where the goal lies.
So, you read very fast, your scanning the page.
Boom!
Awesome concept, awesome idea.
And then, once you're done, you go super fast through it,
and once you're done you have this text file
you can always go back to.
So, instead of having to reread a book
or look through the book for different highlights,
you just open this little text file
and there's all those key things-
- Like that.
- That you personally resonate with.
And that's a cool thing.
It's not someone else who did it.
It's you with who you are, your situation,
and what stood out to you personally.
So, those are kind of like the three ways
I personally go about it on a more technical level.
- Real quick question that I'm super interested in,
do you reread books?
Do you get back to the books
every couple of years, stuff like that,
certain books, not all of them, but ...?
- Yeah, so, that too.
I'll usually reread the text file.
- Yeah, oh what. - Unless it's one of those
bible books. - Yeah.
- And those I reread.
Like some of my favorite ones like
Letting Go, David Hawkins
or Levels of Energy by Fred Dodson.
I'll reread those so many times.
- Yeah, it's crazy - Yeah.
- Because you always resonate with different things.
Like a year later, you're like
I didn't even know that's in this book.
You discover different layers.
I don't do that with every book
but I do that with some like the bible books.
- Yeah, yeah. - Oh, yeah.
- Good stuff.
- I thought we could also address some of the
excuses you may have.
So, we addressed one where it's like,
you know, I don't know how to read.
Audible.
I don't have time.
Audible.
Okay.
Some other ones that I've noticed is,
you know, if you look back at, say,
your track record of reading,
and this was me in the very beginning,
I rarely finished books.
I would start and you're always very motivated.
You're like "Fuck yeah, new book"
and you get the high after buying a book.
And you read a bit, like a couple chapters,
and you just kind of give up.
And then, you buy another book, couple chapters, give up.
And your track record is really shit.
You look back and you're like
"Man, I've never even finished a book before."
You know, if I've never finished it,
I'm probably not gonna finish this one.
Why even start?
And if that's on your mind right now,
shift it and realize that even
if you don't finish it, that's fine.
The goal is not to finish a book-
- Like another check box, yeah.
- I know, like plus one.
Like here's my book kill list.
Instead of finishing it,
even if you just read one chapter or two,
that's better than nothing.
So, even if that's you,
start right now by being the two chapter person.
- Yeah.
- And with time, what you'll also notice is
you'll build that muscle that'll allow you to read longer.
And that's the other excuse.
It's like oh, I get tired every time I read.
Even with the Audible, people get tired.
You know, it's might even notice when you start listening,
oh, I could, that's how I fall asleep.
- Yeah. - Some people'll tell me that.
The way I fall asleep is I just put an audio book on.
- Yeah.
- And that's a muscle you have to build, a mental muscle.
- Yeah.
- Don't buy into that, I started reading,
oh, I need to take a nap, I need to take a break.
Try everyday to just read a little bit more.
- Exactly.
- A little bit more and then you'll just be able
to stay in that headspace and suck in the knowledge.
- And this is, by the way,
one of the biggest advantages you can have
in nowadays societies, is the ability
to maintain focus over longer period of time.
Nobody can fucking do that anymore.
Here's the crazy thing-
- The ADD society.
- Yeah, yeah.
When we started with the YouTube shit,
when I started five years ago,
I never got complaints that my videos are too long.
Like 10/20 minute videos, never got complaints.
Now, it literally started around a year ago,
where people are like "Nine minute video!
"Bro, come to the point man!
"Nobody has time to watch ..."
Like people will say that for this video.
- Yeah, just ranting.
- Yeah.
"Just come to the point, bro.
"Nobody's got the time."
I'm like dude!
This is exactly like if you ask any millionaire,
anybody who has a successful business,
anybody who's successful in some area of their life,
they all know how to maintain focus
over a longer period of time.
And one of the great things to learn that,
one of the great things to train
your ability to maintain focus,
is reading books.
'Cause you're gonna sit down with the book now,
you're gonna read two pages and you'll like
start checking your phone.
Oh, I got a text message here.
Start thinking about something else.
Just again, like you said,
trained a little more everyday, a little more everyday.
Now, the big advantage is you get the knowledge
from the book and at the same time you train
your fucking brain not to pussy out,
not to be addicted to the next dopamine little rush
that you get from a 15 second Instagram story video.
Maintain that fucking focus and you will see
that every area of your life you'll out compete everybody.
You will out perform everybody.
It's amazing. - Yeah.
- That's one of those things that we do.
We know how to maintain focus over a longer period of time.
That's why we're fucking amazing.
- Yeah.
Well, not just that.
It's like also, well, I'd say even on top of that,
it's like the extra value is
getting yourself in that headspace
and taking in the headspace that person was
when writing the book.
- Yeah. - Or doing the video.
- It kinda vibration energy, dude.
- Yeah. - You feel it.
- It's like you connect with that.
- Exactly.
You can't write a fucking book in low vibrational ...
It's a high vibrational activity
to write a fucking book and it sounds-
- Depending on the book.
- That's actually kinda true, depending on the book.
- Yeah.
- But most of the people, it sounds a little woo,
but you get in a different headspace
when you sit down and you really expose yourself
to the knowledge of a book.
- Yeah. Or even like a video here.
It's like you might be like get to the point.
That's 'cause you're not taking in the frequency that
this is meant to tune you into.
Like when I watch really sick videos, I'm like, oh,
I get into a, literally, different headspace.
- Yeah, so true.
- And that's like so much of the value there too.
- Yeah. - You know?
- And then, the other thing I want to mention is,
and you mentioned it to in the beginning, was-
- Retention of knowledge. - Retention, yeah.
- So, this is something I see where there's like,
books are becoming more popular which is fucking great,
but the way people go about it is they try to,
you know, get that kill list of like
I must read a ton of books.
How many books did you read, how many books did you read?
- It's that vanity thing, yeah, yeah.
- Yeah.
And they try to go fast and as soon as they finish the book,
the main thing they got from it
is the fact that they read the book.
It's like this ego boost of gathering
more and more knowledge.
And they don't retain what was in the book.
Like if you're just reading tons of books,
like okay, what the fuck was in that book?
They're like I don't even remember.
I'm just already focused on the next one.
It's just this fast surface level reading.
Don't do that.
Okay?
It's great to read fast, yes,
but make sure you really let that information sink in.
Of course, the best way to let it sink in is to act on it.
Don't just be like "Oh, that's great ideas.
"Next one.
"More collecting ideas."
Implement those fucking ideas.
- I got guys like that, yeah.
- Yeah, implement them and beyond that, too, discuss them.
You know, for real, one exercise you can do is
imagine you had to do a video on the book you read.
That was something that actually really helped me.
- You used to do that on the show, right?
- Yeah, yeah.
So, I would do these free book reviews on my channel
back in the day and every time I did that,
to explain those concept to someone else
on top of taking action,
it just really, boom, ingrained them in my mind.
And that's like an easy way
but another way too is just like discuss them with people,
discuss the ideas. - That's so big.
- You know?
See the other perspectives.
- Yeah.
- Like have people even challenge those ideas.
You know, that's why even like book clubs exist.
- Yeah.
- There's a fucking reason.
So, it's not just you on your own
going about it, going about it, going about it.
Discuss it and let it sink in. - And that's really big too.
This like discussing, challenging the ideas,
and seeing what the other person
has retained from that book because
I guarantee you it's always gonna be different.
Everybody's gonna take different looks on the books.
Everybody's gonna remember different parts.
And, you know, that's shit that guys like us do.
When we hang out in Hawaii, or in L.A.,
or here in Las Vegas right now,
we're talking about books.
When we're eating at the fucking restaurant,
we're like, "Dude, have you read this book?
"What do you think about this?"
And it's just, again, discussing it
makes it ingrained in your brain.
At the end of the day, that's why you're reading the book.
You're reading the book because you want to maintain
the knowledge that was given to you in the fucking book.
And you have something like that
that actually helps people with that.
It's called the-
- Transformation Mastery Academy.
- The Transformation Mastery Academy.
And as far as you told me earlier over dinner,
you said it's people get a monthly book?
- Yeah.
So, it's basically a 12 month program that's is-
- With books.
- Yeah, it's a study group where ...
Well, I'll introduce it like this.
You know, if you've ever heard the expression,
and this is something that's said
about a lot of successful people,
it's like, oh, you can tell they studied self-help
or they studied spirituality.
You know, they must have read a lot.
They studied the right things.
And we hear that expression,
but you got to flip it around to you
and be like hey, did you study self-help?
Did you study success?
Did you study spirituality?
And you might be like, "Well, I guess.
"But what does that even mean?
"What do you study?
"What does that look like?"
And that's what this program is about.
It's a 12 month interactive program
where every month you receive, you know,
unique content that you watch,
different exercises, missions, and challenges
to execute and report back on,
meditations to listen to,
a book of the month where
there's basically the most underground books
that have influenced me, like the most impactful ones.
And these are not mainstream books.
They're really hard to find.
You have to go deep into those worlds to find this gold.
And the way I do it is it's on webinar,
and the webinar is, of course, recorded;
where I give my whole breakdown of the book.
But then, the second part of the webinar we all discuss it.
- Say it out loud. - So, you'll read it too.
Every month you read these unique books,
and then we discuss it together
and really break it down.
If there's questions, you know,
we challenge the ideas and, I mean,
there's just so much value there.
And, of course, the Q&A call at the end,
just on any question of the month
and every month just builds on the previous month.
So, it's interactive.
You're part of this tribe, this study group,
and people hold you accountable for it.
And that's the really cool thing.
It's my coaches and I, we're literally checking up,
like in the private Facebook group.
Like, hey, did you read the book?
Hey, what about this? Hey, did you do the challenge?
Here's some advice.
So, it's not one of those programs where
you get it and ...
I've had a few like that, when I first started.
I'd buy it and you'd get that high,
similar to a book, and then you just kind of
leave it on the virtual shelf, just dusting.
- Yeah, yeah, yeah.
- Like, okay, what do I do with it?
Here, there's the accountability.
It's like you're not gonna be left behind.
You have it and people are checking up on you.
So, there is no excuse.
You know, you're guided to true transformation.
So, that's Transformation Mastery Academy.
- What's the URL?
- Transformationmasteryacademy.com.
- Oooooh.
That simple. - Boom.
We'll link it somewhere below.
We'll have a card pop up somewhere.
So, again, to summarize, books are good.
Read books, even if you're as retarded as I am.
I'm not gonna speak for us all,
I don't know if you're retarded. I am.
- Or if you're as genius as I am.
- No matter what level you are
books are very, very good for you. Do it the right way.
Get somebody to hold you accountable with,
discuss it, retain that knowledge, hack it out.
- And it will, for real, just change your life.
- I agree 100%. Any successful person, there's a reason.
They're like they read books.
Stop resisting it. - Yeah.
- Just model what works.
- Exactly.
- And read the right things 'cause that's ...
The other thing I'll say is you can read a lot
but if you read the wrong things,
it'll actually hurt you.
- I read Harry Potter. - Yo.
- And Fifty Shades of Grey.
- Or even some of the mainstream stuff
'cause it depends on the person,
you might need different types of books.
- Oh.
- So, it needs to be customized to you.
Be smart about it or, hey,
Transformation Mastery Academy.
- Dot com.
Check it out. Julien, thank you so much being on my channel.
- GG.
- My channel.
There we go. (mumbles)
- GG, mofo.
- Bam.
- [Julien] We live in an uncertain world.
Just turn on the news, what do you see?
Chaos, terror, suffering.
Things are changing so fast that your head is spinning.
You know the feeling,
being pulled in different directions
by your friends, your family, mainstream media.
Not knowing what to do or who to believe.
- Did you ever stop and ask yourself
how did your life get this way?
- I felt so much shame when it comes to being me
and now I don't feel that shame anymore.
- I had no way of being able to deal with that pain
and for the first time in my life,
I finally feel an inner stillness and peace in myself.
- I didn't even know what was happening,
like my hands were just shaking,
and it was just like me being my authentic self.
- [Julien] Most of us live lives of escapism.
Anything to cope with this feeling beating us up inside,
distracting ourselves with dumb things on TV,
numbing ourselves with junk food,
alcohol, cigarettes, and drugs.
Is this the way life was meant to be?
Or is there, perhaps, another way?
- It's been the first time in over 10 years,
since my dad died, that I actually felt like I did before.
- I've decided to take a stance for good,
for love, for authenticity.
And I've created a movement of people dedicated
to raising the vibe, a movement dedicated
to doing something about this, and it's called
Transformation Mastery Academy.
- That was amazing, just being able to finally
find that real reason.
- I really want to thank each and every one of you
out of the bottom of my heart.
Thank you guys.
- Now, I'm not some fake guru
promising you overnight results.
What I'm promise you here is a tribe of people
to help support you and guide you along this journey.
In Transformation Mastery Academy you'll no longer be alone.
You'll no longer feel lost.
You will be given the road map
to true permanent personal transformation.
Enough with this fake life of quiet desperation.
Step into your truth and join the movement.
