Books vs Book Summaries

[Cody_Atzori]

There's this really good channel "Joseph Rodriques" who does extensive book summaries on foundational self-help books, and he continues to do them once a week. Would it be better to watch these videos rather than reading the books? I'm not trying to be lazy I'm trying to be efficient. I think a good hour long video of someone distliling down the basics of a book, rather than actually reading the whole thing is more efficient. Additionally, most of the books he reviews are orange/green books and if I was to find a high level yellow/turquoise book then I wouldn't find a summary but read it slowly and meticulously. Is this a good strategy?

@Cody_Atzori I've been subscribed to Joseph for about 1.5 years now. I really like his stuff!!

Just remember this video:

I like Joseph's stuff too but it's probably best to read from the author. You will be getting a different perspective, which can be okay but...

Joseph talks about the same stuff all day long. All his videos end up being more of his 'same viewpoints' and not the on the actual book.
