THE "FIGHTING MEDIOCRITY" YOUTUBE CHANNEL
IN 5 TO 10 MINUTE BOOK REVIEW VIDEOS TO LEARN LIFE!

Excellent short videos to learn from and even review a major segment of your life in relatively little time!

As you watch these, for most books, you might list the major items and then use them as a checklist of whether you follow that or not AND whether you shoulc learn them.  Then you'd put these on a master list, which would be prioritized as to which one you think would be best to do now.
