This book will change your life!BOOK REVIEW- April

*Doki doki literature club music plays*  Book review doki-doki Hello everybody. I'm back. Did you think I forgot? No, I didn't. I just been not doing my homework.


Sumi Masen
(excuse me in japanese) I am sorry. When I was in Japan last month, i didn't really have much chance to read I. I knew my time there was limited. So I really just wanted to focus on Being in Japan.

There's been a lot of news articles about book club. I don't know if you read them. But so- some of them are great. Just praising the idea that uhhhh..

Obviously getting more people into reading a British bookstore a very very big British bookstore they had a select table of books and there were all books that I had reviewed and It made me think wow, it definitely had an influence on sales if they feature these books in in a specific way It's not like they'd said Pewdiepie Isle or anything like that, but it's cool. Should I force anything else positive into this before I begin? I don't think we need to do that. Thank you.  Now, first book I read was the "Dice Man." Written by Luke Rhinehart this was suggestion by Brad Hooray for Brad Thank You Brad for suggesting A lot of you guys suggested this book as well and I can definitely see why.

I think Brad told me that he read it when he was younger and I. Think it's the kind of book I would probably appreciate If I was younger as well not saying that it's stupid or anything like that It's just it has a lot of flaws that I thought was a bit hard to Over- oversee is that how they say it (overlook) doesn't matter. The book is written by Luke Rhinehart who is also Conveniently the protagonist. Mmm how strange.

It follows a story of Luke who is a Psychiatrist he's very successful. He earns a lot of money. He has his wife He has his kids, but he just doesn't feel happy where he is in life His best friend is advancing before him even though he's not as clever as he is He just feels stuck in a rut basically so in a drunken idea Late at night. He decides that he's going to roll a dice and if it lands on a six I think it was a six.

It doesn't matter he is going to rape his best friend's wife who has been sort of flirting with him a little bit and Here it sort of shows how amateurish the writer is or maybe just needs a better editor. I don't know There's really no reason for him to want to rape his Best friend's wife. I understand that he needs to undergo this drastic change of character, but they justify it as "Oh well "she- she liked it more than I did" *weird noise* I feel weird i've been talking about it and it's not like I'm prude or anything like that But nevertheless this event has such a drastic change of his character that he becomes the dice man And he decides to live his life by the roll of the dice he will write down a couple things that he wants to do and a couple of things that he doesn't want to do and he place them on the number of the dice So if it rolls a 1 or a 2, he'll do this two to three or four he'll do this five or six he'll do this, so that determines his life and it's interesting in a way how that makes him break free from his Rut essentially his character that's just too comfortable. A lot of times it's obvious what you want to do and you always go for the obvious choice and he explains that the dice man as You there's so many things that you miss out on by not doing and that never gets to live because you always go with the obvious choice and by Constantly going with the obvious choice you may end up too comfortable and in the way that Luke was in the beginning of the novel Luke really decides that he's going to push this for Scientific purposes or for his studies.

He's going to push the limit of the dice and Following the dice as a godly figure to its very limits. It's not like the whole idea of flipping a coin is anything new it's not like there's anything that Special about it, but it becomes a cult and he becomes a cult leader of that of the dice. It's an interesting concept of self-control also letting go of that control to something else and while reading it I was feeling Like I want to try this out when I was in Japan, for example Me and Marzia a lot of times the things that we enjoyed the most were not the we had planned for but things that we just happened to stumble upon which I think is why what it's trying to get at. The book very Confidently says on the cover.

This book will change your life It won't. I really enjoyed it at the first half but the second half was just Unnecessary, I think it tried too hard to be commercialized The story takes almost like a movie like plot The FBI is after him and there's just so many sex scenes in this book I think there's like 30 sex scenes in it and it just became cringe-worthy after a while I'm like, this is just ridiculous. At the end of it it sort of made me question the the skill of the author and if the concept of the dice was even that great to begin with. It just seems so like some sort of pseudo-psychiatry and who knows? Maybe that's what it was trying to mock anyway.

Next! I read "Stoner" by John Williams. This was a book that when he came out it barely sold anything, but then later- fifty years later It got translated and it picked up in popularity. Now, it's very highly regarded. When I explain my favorite novel to people, or at least a novel that I really enjoyed, a lot of times I met with a skeptic look like: "That doesn't sound interesting at all!" What are you talking about? A good testimony of a good writer is that if you can tell a seemingly uninteresting story and captivate your your reader That's a great way to test it And I think Stoner is exactly that.

Now I was reading this and I kept thinking "When is the punchline coming?"
"When is the weed joke coming?" I was on page 420 and I realized, "I've just spent hours reading a boring book about a boring man's life!" It has nothing to do with weed. Not a single weed reference. I'm just kidding. Obviously.

It's actually a really great book I really enjoyed reading it It follows a story a William Stoner, which can be summarized as "Life sucks, and then you die." "So fuck the world and let's get high! 420 Everybody!" It's so cringe-worthy jokes. I'm sorry. William Stoner grows up on a farm. He goes to study agriculture and a part of his study he- it's obligatory to study English literature and he completely falls in love with it and he loves- and he switch his studies completely to literature instead of agriculture and At the day of his graduation, he very selfishly Tells his parents, "I'm not coming back to help at the farm.

I'm going to keep studying to become a teacher." I can't relate to that at all. I escaped to Italy to become a youtuber and abandon my studies so maybe I can't fault Stoner too much in this. It sets the swing of The story in of Stoner's life whenever something positive happens to Stoner so- it's met with something negative. He falls in love with literature, but at the cost of Disappointing his parents.

He falls in love with a woman and they get married very quickly But then he discovers that she's actually very horrible to him and they don't match at all. So anytime something positive happens to Stoner, it's met with something negative. He loves teaching his students at school, but it becomes very hard for him to do so because of the department. He gets a daughter that he loves very much and care for but the daughter After a while sort of turns against him because of his wife It just keeps on rocking back and forth for Stoner and you just have to, when reading it, you can't help but appreciate his immense stoicism and How much he endures of bad behavior from other people that just brings him down.

You just want to pat Stoner on the back and say "It's okay you did your best, man". I always try and find some sort of ideas in there. I don't know if I'm right or wrong But the way I saw it is that there's two sides of the coin in life. You're gonna be happy sometime and you're gonna be unhappy sometime and you can just hope that you end up on one side more than the other just because you endure a lot of pain and a lot of Bad behavior and just because you're a good person and work really hard for the things you love that doesn't necessarily mean Happiness is some sort of reward or something that's owed to you.

It just- doesn't work like that. That's just a state of life And that's the balance that we all have to go through. Stoner dusted in such grace and the way he endures it all You just- you can't help but look up to him and his character. In a lot of ways he's a hero and I think that's how the author described him as, as an angel in the end.

It's a fantastic read. I really enjoyed it. From start to finish, I think this was a novel that I found the easiest to read and flow through so if it sounded interesting give it a go. Next up, we have "Crime and Punishment." It's a classic, you've definitely heard about this...

Have you heard about this? It's written by Fyodor Dostoyevsky in 1866. It was the longest one I read, and I- I mean that. Sometimes this book was very hard to get through, but the parts that shines in this novel truly shines. And I do Understand why it's a classic and I want to just focus on the bits that I really really enjoyed which is the bits revolving around the main character, Raskolnikov.

Raskolnikov is a young man who lives in St. Petersburg. He is, like I said, young, attractive, intelligent and since his father died, his mother and sister had focused on him a lot more which led him to come up with the Insane idea that he is going to murder and rob an elderly pawn-broker named Ivanovna. He sees Ivanovna as a lesser human, a bad human, and she has the only thing that Raskolnikov doesn't have which is wealth.

 Raskolnikov is very poor and he sees it almost as an injustice following Raskolnikov's ideas around why he wants to commit this murder is the bits where I really really enjoyed. I don't know what it is about following someone's internal thoughts about something that's just bizarre and insane, the truest honest thoughts about someone. And I think that's why I really like Japanese literature as well nevertheless Raskolnikov doesn't see anything wrong with murdering this woman. He thinks is it's justified and He almost sees it as a practice of: Can he commit this crime? Is he able to commit the perfect crime even? And he sort of sneers at other people that it hasn't been able to commit the perfect crime.

So he sneaks into Ivanovna's apartment and he murders her with an axe. Unfortunately, Ivanovna's stepsister enters the scene of the crime and Raskolnikov is forced to murder her as well Now obviously this wasn't part of the plan and he sort of very clumsily Escapes the the murder scene and he only gets a little bit of gold from the apartment, but still somehow he managed to escape without anyone Seeing him commit the crime. He hides all the gold and the murder weapon and Then we're followed with the second part of the book, The Punishment. We get to follow Raskolnikov's internal struggle with- through conversations with other people of why he committed this crime and What made him want to actually do it.

If he didn't take the gold, what was the reason- true reason behind it and the guilt with it? The bits I especially enjoyed was the last third of the book. Raskolnikov wants to confess to his love, Sonya, that he committed this murder and he stumble upon his words and he stumbles upon his reasoning that before was so clear to himself But when explaining it to someone else he just can't get the right Reason and words out and I really enjoyed this bit. I don't know. It's just it's so interesting following these thoughts and The change of Raskolnikov.

Eventually, he turns himself in despite the fact that he- there was no real evidence against him. I think he was just so tired of dealing with this internal struggle and conflict and Even though he doesn't necessarily think that what he did was wrong, he compares his- his murder with what other- what other people have done in the past and Not received any punishment for people doing even worse things than him and getting away with it So why should he have to feel bad but he turns himself in because of Sonya, the one he loves, and he wants to serve his punishment and I think the epilogue where they explained this was a bit forced. These classic novels, they always have the a very strict conclusion to them, at least what I read so far, so maybe that's why the reason why. The reason why Raskolnikov struggled so much Maybe he had found logic behind what he but he put himself above society and that was his demise What do you think? Have you read it? What what do you think? Personally, I was extremely bored with the family conflict that was going on throughout this book It didn't interest me at all.

But nevertheless, I really enjoyed it. I would love to read more from Dostoevsky in the future I'm told that "The Idiot" is even better. Are you still with me? Next up, we have "No Longer Human" with Osamu Dazai I feel my voice is just different Talking about this. It's just such a sad story.

It follows a story of Oba and We follow it through some notebooks that he has left behind. I love Japanese literature. I. Really enjoyed reading Murakami, but I love reading Yukio Mishima and now Dazai.

They so beautifully describe the internal monologue in it where the protagonist is so extremely self aware of the Interaction and ideas that they have... I'm explaining this really poorly, but essentially, the way Japanese culture are so polite, It's hard to understand the true character behind a person and To then read a Japanese novel by- by these authors so- so brilliantly described, I just feel so immersed into it. Funnily enough, that's exactly- well, there's nothing funny about it, but that's exactly what No Longer Human is all about. The main character, Oba, can't present his true self to other people.

He has this facade that he hides behind and he makes jokes to other people to hide his true self and he's extremely self aware of this fact And we don't- we don't get to follow the jokes that he makes other people instead we get to follow his ideas of how he thinks other people perceive his jokes and It doesn't sound interesting at all. I says I just wanted to give you an idea how it's written, basically. Something that I've really grown to appreciate over the years is honesty. If I noticed that someone isn't being really themself or being honest, I.

Always wonder if you're not honest, then who are you? What are you? I don't want to play along with your facade and Sometimes in this novel, someone calls out Oba for not being genuine Maybe he laughed in a way that they didn't think was really Authentic and he recollects on these moments in his life where he did get called out for his facade and he he describes that in such immense pain that Someone is discovering that he isn't actually human. The story of no longer human is an incredibly sad story, especially Afterwards finding out about the author himself Dazai, who shares so much with the main character He was sexually assaulted as a child which is most likely what led to him protect himself behind this facade. The double attempt of suicide with his wife where the wife died but he survived, and the guilt of keep on living, problem with alcoholism and drugs, all these things that the character Oba, Goes through has happened to Dazai at some point in his life as well, the author. At the end of the book There's a very chilling moment where Oba is talking to his friend Hokiki (it's Horiki btw) I think his name was, I don't remember and Hokiki is sort of his character opposite It's his friend, but almost so sort of his enemy He's very direct and very straightforward Unlike Oba who hides behind a facade.

Hokiki- and whenever Hokiki is involved in his life It sort of triggers these bad behaviors, you know where he turns to alcohol and all these things. In this moment, they're both drinking and they're discussing the "Crime and Punishment" funnily, and discussing what the antonym of crime is and Oba sort of goes off as he usually does in his analytic way of What it actually is while Hokiki is just sort of not really following and making these really dumb assumptions. Hokiki then leaves the room and Commits adultery with Oba's wife Oba doesn't do anything to interfere with this and it's at this moment when you read the novel it's because he's no longer human and this happened to Dazai as well and It's clearly a very personal tale Reading it at almost in retrospect, it almost feels like a goodbye and The same year 1948 Dazai's novel came out. Dasai, you know, he had multiple suicide attempts Finally he succeeded To commit suicide by drowning himself in the river and his body was found on the day of his 49th birthday I feel like I didn't do it justice by reading this book first this is clearly the final chapter and I want to try and be more careful in the future when I.

I pick a new author to make sure that I read Read in the right order. I absolutely loved reading This book. Dazai clearly is a phenomenal writer and this is everything I would want from a novel. Next up, I read Yukio Mishima's "Sun and Steel." I'm not gonna discuss this book because I'm think- I want to save you Mishima for another time I just want to give a quick thanks to blue D on Twitter for sending me their copy of the book I couldn't find one before I left to Japan and I really really wanted to read it It was funny.

I- I walked around with a book. Long story short, I needed to put a paper in something without crinkling it and So I was using the book because it's very big. It's already becoming too long A lot of other people saw me holding this book in Japan and they were all, "Oh! Yuki Mi- Yukio Mishima!" I don't know if it's- I get I didn't realize how popular it was. I wonder who looks up to Yukio Mishima in Japan.

Super fascinated by Mishima, but we'll save that for another time. Next up for next week, We're going to read "Inferno" by August Strindberg. I want to read as- "Spring Snow," I think it's called, by Yukio Mishima and "Runaway Horses" by Yukio Mishima I'm gonna be a little bit selfish and just read books that I genuinely just want to read I'm sorry, but other than that, I just want to say thanks for all the support on the book review. It's been fantastic.

I always doubt myself if it's really worth it or not To make these but all the positive support and all the comments has been great. So, thank you very much That's it for me for now. I'll see you by the end of the month With another book review you can read all of them or none of them But I'll see you then. Goodbye..

THE PRINCE BY NICCOLO MACHIAVELLIANIMATED BOOK REVIEW

Let me just start off by saying
that I'm not recommending anything I'm about to say in this video.
I've simply taken one of the most influential books ever written
and I will try to break down some of the ideas with hopefully relevant examples.
So I'm simply presenting information here, and it is completely up to the viewer
to decide what he wants to do with that information... How we live is so different
from how we ought to live that he who studies what ought to be done
rather than what is done will learn the way to his downfall
rather than to his preservation. What Machiavelli is saying here is,
"Look, we all have these visions of how society should be
and what we should all do, but the truth is
what happens in reality just doesn't correspond to that at all!"
So what he's basically saying is, "Get real!" If I asked most people watching this,
"Do you want to see Kim Kardashian's ass from 20 different angles every single day
on your computer screen?" What are most people going to say?
"No... No, that's not what we want..." "You shouldn't be clicking on that stuff,
you should be educating yourself." "You know, you should be reading Voltaire." Now here's what Machiavelli is saying,
"Look, that might be how we ought to live, but it's just not what's really going on."
So if you're a marketer, don't cater Voltaire to people's Facebook
feed, they don't care about Voltaire.
Instead, show them Kim Kardashian ass from 20 different angles,
and the 10 celebrities this week who got drunk and threw up.
You'll get all the clicks you want, and you'll make a lot of money.

And this makes people genuinely angry!
"Machiavelli, don't say that! How could you say something like that!"
Well, because that's just how it is. If you don't understand that this is how it
is, you either don't know anything about marketing,
or you're some well-intentioned wannabe marketer who hasn't had his dreams completely shattered
yet. And the same thing applies to politics
and any other field of power... You can't be a good honest politician.
You just can't! People say all the time,
"Well, why can't we just have honest politicians?" Cause honest politicians are like the marketer
who markets Voltaire to you.

You don't click on Voltaire,
You click on Kim Kardashian's ass, so just like a marketer who markets Voltaire
will never get any clicks, the honest politician will never get any votes. Any man who tries to be good all the time
is bound to come to ruin among the great number who are not good.
Hence a prince who wants to keep his authority must learn HOW NOT TO BE GOOD,
and use that knowledge, or refrain from using it,
as necessity requires. Again, a politician needs to learn how not
to be good. I know that might sound crazy,
but that's the only way he'll ever have a chance.
What are you going to do, go up there on the stage, be honest, and say,
"Well, if you don't want to be broke, stop sitting in front of the TV all day,
and pick up a book.

And in the long run, granted you also work hard and smart,
you will start to see results." Is that really what you're going to do?
You can, but you'll never get elected. No... Don't do that...
Go up there and tell them how you're going to just change this one thing
about the economy, and all of a sudden we're all going to have
more money. Money is just going to be magically generated
out nowhere, and you will then hand out this magic money
to everyone.

And yes, as stupid as that sounds,
you will actually get all the votes and your honest competitor will get none... I also love people who have absolutely no
idea about how business works, and in their mind they'd be so good only if
they were in power, "If I was in charge of that,
I would pay people three times as much!" Oh really? Would you? Would you really do
that? Because that's probably why you're not in
charge of anything. If you were in charge and you did that,
you would be out of business in two weeks. The vulgar crowd always is taken by appearances,
and the world consists chiefly of the vulgar.

Machiavelli says,
"Now that you know that a lot of times you can't be a good guy,
don't make the mistake of not appearing like one."
All you have to do is appear to be the good guy,
you're dealing with people who constantly click on
the top 10 celebrities who puked this week, they're not going to know the difference,
don't worry. I love when people look at all these philanthropists
and think, "Uh, what a nice guy!"
"He's just the paragon of goodness!" Oh is he really? Are they really?
Is that how they built multi-billion dollar businesses?
By being a nice guy to their competition, and sharing their revenues equally and generously
with their employees? No! They built it by following another one
of Machiavelli's principles... Men ought either to be well treated or
crushed, because they can avenge themselves of lighter
injuries, of more serious ones they cannot;
therefore the injury that is to be done to a man
ought to be of such a kind that one does not stand in fear of revenge.
Almost every successful organization you might like and think of as good
has engaged in the nastiest lawsuits and acquisitions to completely crush its enemy. And I could give endless examples of this
game of appearances.

My favorite one has to be politicians who
clearly don't care about religion, but act like without Jesus they just wouldn't
know what to do. And it works... If they didn't lie they just
wouldn't have a chance. I mean if Jesus wasn't personally guiding
the senator, we all know that the state would immediately
collapse, and as a punishment, it would probably be
hit with tornadoes too.

"Princes must delegate difficult tasks to
others, and keep popular ones for themselves." Machiavelli talks about Cesare Borgia,
who has this region that he needs to bring under control.
Long story short, he appoints this guy and sends him down there
to do it. The guy makes sure the trouble makers' heads
are chopped off, and they're castrated, and all of that...
Really brutal stuff, and finally the place is under control.
The problem now is people have seen a lot of cruelty
and they are pretty pissed off. So what's Borgia's solution?
He has the guy who did all his dirty work cut in half and thrown onto the city square.
Then, he makes sure to provide the citizens with food and entertainment,
and what's the result? The dirty effective work was carried out just
like Borgia wanted, but he's not the one people are angry at. Now that is probably one of the weirdest,
most repulsive stories I've ever heard, but people in power today
constantly do basically some variation of that.

So I was watching one of the biggest channels
on YouTube, and this guy just has the scamiest marketing
in the world. It's just so bad...
And of course some people kept calling him out for it,
but then one day he puts out this video where he's just really honest, you know...
He's really gonna be honest with you guys... And here's what he said,
"I know my marketing is scammy, and I would basically be a piece of shit for
doing it, but it's not me guys..."
"It's just the marketers who work for me man..." "It's just how they do stuff.
If it was up to me, I wouldn't do it like that..."
And I scroll down and the video has all these likes
and people are just like, "Yeah, we know...
We know you're a really good dude. It's just the marketers." And I remember sitting there in utter disbelief.
So let me get this straight...

It's your business,
but yeah, I get it... You obviously have no say in how it's run.
Yeah, that makes perfect sense... You don't want to make more money either,
yeah, I totally get that too... And of course you couldn't tell a person who
works for you to not be a piece of shit if that's what you
wanted, otherwise you're right,
you'd probably get fired from the business that you OWN!
I mean it's just so ridiculous, but guess what?
It works.

It works just like an article about
celebrities who puked this weekend, and just like dishonest politicians
who will always get elected. So there you go...
Some of the biggest ideas from The Prince... And remember this is just information.
Knowledge isn't inherently right or wrong, it depends on what you do with it.
Do I think that these ideas are powerful? Absolutely.
Do I want to live a fully Machiavellian life? No! Absolutely not!
It would be the most dreadful life in the world.
Machiavelli says, "It is safer to be feared than to be loved."
Would I want to apply that to my relationship? No!
And I'll admit it... Yes, you would probably lower your chances
of being cheated on if you threatened the woman you're with
that if you caught her cheating, you would chop her head off.
Yes, that will probably make her less likely to cheat on you than
giving her freedom and a relationship based on love,
but at the same time, I would rather get cheated on a hundred times
than never cheated on because she's scared of losing her life if she cheats.

So no, I'm not going to be some fully Machiavellian
psychopath. But at the same time,
I don't want to walk into a business setting and just get absolutely crushed by a bunch
of assholes. Neither do I want to be played
by some little bullshit scam artist who tells me that it's not his fault that
he's scamming me, and I'm supposed to just believe that and
sit there like a little sheep getting ready to be slaughtered..

THE ONE THING BY GARY KELLERANIMATED BOOK REVIEW

So I remember finding out about personal development,
and I thought it was just the greatest thing. I basically sucked at everything,
but I realized, "Hey, I can improve whatever I suck at,"
and that's pretty cool. But I ran into a problem
that almost everyone going through the same journey runs into
which is basically starting to want to improve everything. So it goes something like this...
This is awesome! Starting tomorrow I'm going to wake up early,
meditate for an hour, go to the gym for two hours,
go to work and as soon as that's done, go to a martial arts class,
come home and learn how to play the guitar because I've always wanted to play it,
and once I'm done with that, I know it's really late,
but I'm going to work on my five different business ideas.

And that sounds so good
because all of a sudden you're excited about life again.
But... Here are the two most likely outcomes of that
dream... The first, and the most likely one,
is that you won't be able to actually do it. I don't care how great you think your willpower
is, because willpower's like a battery.
It gets drained.

So when you start your day off trying to be
the Dalai Lama, and then Ronnie Coleman,
and then Anderson Silva, and then Jimi Hendrix,
and finally at midnight, you want to be Mark Zuckerberg,
You won't be able to get to the Silva, Hendrix, and Zuckerberg point,
if you even make it that far because the battery is empty by then. The other option,
and this is very unlikely, is let's assume a hypothetical situation where
you somehow can manage and consistently get through all those things.
In this unlikely scenario, the best outcome is that
you'll still end up being average at everything. That's it. Just average.

So we're talking about success here
in terms of how it's usually defined. We think of the Dalai Lama as a success at
what he does, we think of Ronnie Coleman as a success at
what he does, same thing with Anderson Silva, and Jimi Hendrix,
and Mark Zuckerberg. Now if you look at all those people,
what do they have in common? You don't see Mark Zuckerberg busting through
his shirt. Why? Because if he dedicated his daily hours
and focus to his workouts,
he just wouldn't be Mark Zuckerberg.

Same thing with Ronnie Coleman.
If he's going to be up on the stage in 6 months, he's focusing on one thing, and that's his
physique. He's not playing the violin while
building awesome business websites. And all of that leads us to this idea
of the ONE thing. Every person who we view as successful
has the ONE thing that they focus on.

If it's Mozart, it's the piano.
It's not the piano plus hitting the gym, and shooting a basketball for hours.
If it's Lebron James, it's basketball. It's not basketball plus playing the piano,
and trying to compose for hours. Now let me make this clear that
I'm not here to define success for you. Your definition of success might be different
than what's commonly accepted.

Maybe for you, Mozart and Lebron James aren't
successful. Maybe you like the idea of being okay at everything,
and having a more balanced lifestyle. And that's fine.
I'm not here to tell you what you should do or how you should think. But if you're asking about how to be successful
and success is defined for you by someone like Mozart in music or Lebron James
in basketball, you do have to realize that there's almost
no balance with that kind of success.
There just isn't.

So if you've been following the channel,
I took a month off from making these videos and this was one of the biggest things I had
to think about. What do I want?
And it wasn't an easy choice. On one hand, I could pick a very balanced
lifestyle. Wake up and dedicate my time to whatever I
want like the gym every day, the piano every day,
cooking awesome meals every day, thinking about and exploring all the different
business ideas that come to my head every day,
and a hundred other things that I'm slightly interested in...

Or...
Just focus on the ONE thing, which is read as much as I can
and then share those ideas. And that's what I ended up picking.
So my ONE thing literally consists of just reading and researching all day
and my ONE thing at night is spending quality time with my girlfriend.
That's it. The only other thing I really do is go to
the gym, and I've had to cut that down to full body
workouts as well. And if you've noticed,
my posting pattern has been a lot more different than it used to be.
I mean there's no way I could be posting at this pace
if I decided to have balance and not focus on this ONE thing.
There's no way I can be hitting the gym for two hours every day,
getting better at playing the piano, cooking gourmet meals all day,
focusing on 5 different other business ideas, and then consistently be putting out videos
and focusing on my reading, so I can turn this into something great,
because my willpower battery is going to be completely empty
by the time I get to it.

So ask yourself,
what is your ONE thing? Are you a Zuckerberg who's trying to also
look like a bodybuilder? And also ask yourself,
what do you want? What do you want?!
That's the most important question here! When I'm trying to explain a book,
I like to use real life examples of how something would be done,
but I think I make it come across like I accept and fully implement a 100% of every
book I read, which I guarantee you has never happened with
any book no matter how great.
And I also sometimes phrase things in a way that implies that you should do something,
which isn't my intention either. I genuinly don't care about what you do.
I don't go to sleep at night worrying about whether people are unconscious in front of
the TV at home or doing something proactive. So if you want to have a balanced life,
I'm not here to tell you that you need to be a success at something.
And I'm not here to tell you how you should think of success either.
But, if you want to know how to be a success, and you define success like it's usually defined,
then I'm here to explain it. The only way you're going to get there
is by understanding what your ONE thing is and then completely focusing on that.
I wish there was a way to have a perfectly balanced,
harmonious life, and also do extraordinary things.
But there isn't.

I've tried it so many times and have failed
so many times. Mozart didn't achieve extraordinary success
in music because he had a balanced life.
He didn't meditate two hours every morning followed by two hours at the gym
and a two hour session of reading philosophy books
before he finally started playing the piano..

The Art of Storytelling and The Book of Henry

Last year, for the first time in the history
of my channel, when I did my extended video on the editing in Suicide Squad I indulged
in the well worn trope where a reviewer plays up needing drugs or alcohol to get through
the process. In the script it was supposed to be cooking
oil as a total subversion of the trope, but at the last minute I decided to use an old
cough syrup bottle instead, instead recreating the trope. Anyway, lets talk about the art of storytelling
and The Book of Henry! Im going to warn you, The Book of Henry
is an infectious movie. Theres a decent risk that knowing about
this movie will make you insufferable to friends and family as you insist on recounting every
mind-numbing twist in excruciating detail.

The Book of Henry is a case study in what
happens when you spend twenty years writing and re-writing the same script. Crime novelist Steven Horwitz originally
started shopping the script around in the mid 90s. It got some buzz and made the rounds, but
ultimately wasnt produced. Horwitz held on to it and kept making changes
as the years passed and he grew older.

Its no wonder, then, that the film is something
of a cross section of two decades of cloying childrens films and films-about-children,
from Little Man Tate and Radio Flyer, through Pay It Forward, to Extremely Loud and Incredibly
Close. The end product is, from a critical perspective,
like a sudoku puzzle. The failings and poor decisions are interlinked
in a way that explaining one requires understanding the relative construction of the others. There is not a singular problem, but a complex
system of co-dependant problems that are ultimately rooted in the insurmountable flaw that is
the movies basic premise.

This is a movie about a mother, Susan, who
sets out to murder her neighbour, Glen, and kidnap his step daughter, Christina, following
instructions left behind by her genius son, Henry, who just died of brain cancer. Or its about Henry, a kid genius who decides
to kill his neighbour, Glen, but develops terminal brain cancer and spends his final
days preparing meticulous instructions so his mother, Susan, can carry out the murder
and kidnapping after his death. But its also a heartwarming, life-affirming
reminder that cynicism weighs us down and we should be doers, not dreamers, and we should
murder our neighbours, but only if their kids are sad, because as we all know, a sad teenager
is an abused teenager. So to start this off properly Im going
to try, as best I can, to simply, factually, recount the plot of the film without commentary,
questions, or asides.

Alright lets go. Henry and his younger brother Peter get on
the bus while Henry, in voice over, waxes philosophic about the nature of man, suggesting
that sometimes people will surprise you, while the rest of the time people are exactly who
they seem to be, which is to say: cruel. In class Henry improvises his essay project
in front of the class, mocks another student, and tells his teacher that he shouldnt
be in an advanced class because [better for psycho-social development] While waiting after school Henry buys and
sells stocks over the pay phone until mom, Susan, pulls up in a beat up car. Henry tells her she should buy a new car because
they can afford a new car, but mom says theres nothing wrong with the old car.

At home Peter bugs Henry over the radio until
Henry agrees to let Peter help him with his Rube Goldberg machine. That night Susan puts Peter into the bath
and then plays video games while Henry does the family finances, telling mom that she
needs to pay more attention. At bedtime Susan reads the two boys a story
that she wrote, she finds an engineering award that Henry won, and Henry gives the medal
to Peter. At breakfast the next morning Henry continues
to bug mom about the finances, trying to teach her how to use the computer, and the kids
correct her middle finger posture when she flips Henry off.

Theyre called outside by their neighbour
Glen Sickleman, the police commissioner, who complains about the leaves on their lawn,
and Susan dots on the neighbour girl, Christina. At work Susan banters with her co-worker Shiela. Her boss, Jon, gives her her paycheck, suggests
she set up direct deposit, and Susan says shell need to check with Henry. At school Henry asks Christina how shes
doing, and Peter gets beat up.

The medal that Henry gave Peter gets broken. Back home Peter sulks, Henry cheers him up
by doing this. Then Susan comes home with Sheila, the two
get drunk. Henry wakes up with a headache, spies on Christina
next door, and ominous music tells us something is up with Glen.

The next morning Susan drives the kids and
Christina to school, Henry keeps looking at her, on the ride to school and in class, then
he gets up, storms into the principals office, and says goddammit Janice, how
much longer does this have to go on? They argue about Christina being abused by
Glen. Goddammit Janice tells him she needs conclusive
evidence, and Henry says hell handle it alone. The kids get picked up by Susan after school,
and they stop by Sheilas, and then they get groceries and see a dude beating on his
girlfriend and Henry wants to get involved but Susan tells him to mind his own business. Henry calls Child Protective Services on Glen,
then while everyone is unpacking groceries Christina puts a lot of weighty emphasis on
the fact that Glen is her step father.

Susan agrees to drive Christina to and from
the upcoming talent show because Glen isnt planning on going. Susan tells Henry to be less serious. Henry says he should have gotten involved
in the supermarket and that violence isnt the worst thing. CPS checks on Glen and Christina, but the
head of CPS is Glens brother, so Henry starts driving around town on his bike, making
notes in a red notebook, buys books on crime scene investigation, and scouts out a gun
store where he overhears some dude trying to buy an illegal gun by dropping the name
Dominic.

Back home Susan is playing Gears of War and
Henry tells her to shut it off. At bedtime theres an argument about whos
enchilada number one and whos enchilada number two, then Susan sings them a song. In the middle of the night Susan is woken
up by Peter screaming because Henry is having a seizure. Hes rushed to hospital, its incurable
brain cancer, and Henry explains his own disease to the neurosurgeon.

Sheila visits Henry in the hospital and kisses
him. [I am not okay with this] Henry and Susan argue about the finances,
Henry tells Peter to make mom read his red notebook, Henry and Susan argue about finances
again, then Henry dies in the middle of the night. After a few days, Peter comes home, Susan
is making brownies for dinner, and doctor hottie comes by for a house call where he
gives Peter his cell number. At work Susan is losing her mind, Jon sends
her home and tells her that Henry told him via letter that she has six hundred and eighty
thousand dollars in a chequing account, and even more in stocks and bonds.

At home Peter finds Henrys red notebook,
which [I think Henry wants us to kill Glen] Susan argues with the book, calls CPS herself,
spys on Glen, and then is told by the book to check the safe where she finds tapes and
a walkman. The tapes walk her step by step through withdrawing
money from the bank, avoiding security cameras at the gun store, and buying [stuff] Susan then gets a copy of Glens signature
which she uses, as per the tapes instructions, to forge custody papers for Christina. At the talent show, doctor hottie shows up
because Peter invited him. Once the show starts Susan synchronizes her
watch, jumps into her new car that Henry bought, drives back to the tree fort, and sets up
to take the shot.

While shes aiming, back at talent show
Christina dances a sad dance, and Goddammit Janice, seeing the sad dance, goes and makes
a phone call. Back at the treehouse Susan has a brief moment
where she realizes that holy crap shes taking instructions from a tape recorded by
her dead eleven year old and decides not to shoot the police commissioner in the head
with a sniper rifle. Standing ovation. Theres your big Kuleshov Effect moment
of the movie, by the way.

Glen confronts her [what the hell is going on?] She threatens him, jumps in her car to get
back to the talent show, Glen goes home, makes a phone call, and shoots himself. Susan gets back just in time for Peters
magic act, where he summons the spirit of Henry from his trunk in the form of a fake
snowstorm. Christina learns her step father is dead. The court gives custody to Susan.

Susan burns all evidence of her crimes, and
the movie ends with Susan tucking Enchilada number one and Butterfly number one into bed. Credits roll. [Title card: Money Problems, or Lack Thereof] This might seem like an odd point to start
the actual autopsy with, but lets talk about the money issues in the film. In the middle of the movie, after Henry dies,
Susans boss Jon gives her an envelope, a letter from Henry, that says she has six
hundred and eighty thousand dollars in the bank, and even more in stocks and bonds.

Theyre rich! Henry has, from beyond the grave, saved the
family from poverty! No more will mom be forced to miss bedtime
because shes working late! She can now realize her true passion to be
a childrens picture book author! This is a genre touchstone. These sorts of movies about exceptional kids
almost always have some element of overcoming or just dealing with financial difficulty,
often poverty. Its easy drama. Little Man Tate, Radio Flyer, and Pay it Forward
all hit this beat in one way or another.

Single mom raising one or two kids at the
edge of financial ruin, working at a diner, driving a beat up car, joking with her coworkers
about the hardships of being rich. Heres the problem. The family in The Book of Henry is doing fine. Theyre fine.

Earlier in the film Jon explicitly points
out that they live in a nice neighbourhood. I mean, heck, they live right next door to
the police commissioner. Henry buys and sells stocks over the phone. Susan only seems to work part time, and its
never a worry about how theyll pay the bills.

Henry has brain surgery and no one is concerned
with how theyre going to pay for it. Hell, our first introduction to Susan is contextualized
by money. [I wish youd get a new car, its not
like you cant afford it.] These beats comes up several times, where
Henry explicitly points out that they can afford stuff, and she never disagrees. In fact the opposite.

She chides him and says that being able to
afford it isnt the point. He also tells Susan that she can afford to
quit her job at the diner and focus on writing. Hes constantly telling her to pay attention
to the financial statements and investment reports and bank statements, but the reveal
that they have all this money doesnt really mean anything from a story standpoint. This scene works just as well if that line
is cut, because the actually important line is this.

[No, youre not fine] Hell, if anything the scene accidentally implies
that she was pretending to be in a paycheck-to-paycheck situation and that Henry has outed her wealth
to her friends and coworkers, humiliating her. Now, the fact that the family isnt living
in poverty isnt itself a problem. Just because its a staple of the genre
doesnt make it mandatory, we dont need that for it to be effective or complete. But, as you can see from all these examples,
the issue of money comes up often.

It is not an unstated dimension or a background
detail. The weird thing is that it actively works
against the theme of the film. This is a rare film that opens with a thesis
statement. Henrys improvised essay in front of the
class is a direct philosophical statement aimed at the audience, and in Henrys little
Tyler Durden Jr.

Screed he explicitly denounces the exact sort of obsession over money that
he then spends the rest of his life pursuing. [Montage] Ha ha ha, its a bad movie. [Title card: Henrys Plan is Bad and Stupid] Henrys plan is bad and stupid. Its exactly the kind of bad and stupid
Rube Goldberg Loony Tunes assassination plan that youd expect to be cooked up by a dumb
eleven year old.

That in and of itself could be something fun
and interesting if it werent offensively paired with the incredibly heavy subject of
rescuing someone from being raped, and the fact that an adult follows the plan almost
to its completion before having a minor epiphany that maybe murder isnt actually the answer. This is all paralleled by constant assertions
that Henry is, in fact, a super mega genius who thinks of everything. So for fun lets point out all the flaws
in this flawless plan. From the start I need to emphasize that this
is a plan to kill Glen.

Its also, theoretically, a plan to rescue
Christina from abuse, but first and foremost its a plan to kill Glen. Well talk about this in more detail later,
but so little of the plan revolves around or involves Christina that, really, rescuing
Christina is just the justification for a plot to kill Glen. You could swap the motive for anything else
and very, very little would change. The first thing to highlight is that most
of this plan is drafted before Henry knows hes going to die, meaning that he was,
in concept at least, intending to somehow follow through with these steps.

This is a big screenwriting problem because
the writer already knows Henry dies before the character knows, so the plan is accidentally
built around the convenience that Henry doesnt need to execute the plan. A lot of the smaller details of the plan are
suggested as part of various preparation montages, and illustrations from Henrys notebook,
which we fortunately get in close up during the opening credits. Despite all the attention given to minute
details like the type of bullet used and clearing all the branches, the basic concept of the
plan is really simple. Get a gun, lure Glen out into the woods, and
shoot him in the head from the comfort of the playhouse.

After that, as per the illustration, the body
falls into the river, and then the gun gets thrown off the bridge into the lake. The biggest hole here is that every version
of the plan revolves around shooting Glen. Henry explicitly scopes out the gun store,
and gets the name Dominic, at a point when he assumes the headaches are just stress. Except if we take the cancer out of the equation
this is where the plan ends, because even with the whole Dominic thing, even the gun
store owner willing to bend the paperwork rules for cash isnt going to sell a sniper
rifle to an 11 year old.

The next biggest hole is the body. Again, the scriptwriter knows that neither
Henry nor Susan will actually kill Glen, so they dont bother to sweat the details,
which leaves us with Henry intending for Glens body to fall into the river, and by river
I mean creek. This creek. Now, to me, someone who watches way too many
police procedurals, this isnt so much a hide a body creek as much as its a hey
boss, we found-a-body down by the creek creek.

So Henrys master plan to kill Glen is really
just kill him in your own backyard and hope no one suspects his neighbours. Once we move away from the concept, into the
weeds of the details, is when the plan really falls apart into needless complexity. The hilarious thing is that Henry repeatedly
stresses the need to plan for every contingency, but then fails to plan for even basic contingencies. The most glaring hole is in step one: lure
Glen out into the woods.

Apparently the best idea the authors could
think of was making noise with a walkie-talkie strapped to an amplifier. Seriously, thats the plan. Susan whistles into a walkie-talkie and this
noise is suspicious enough that Glen gets his gun before going to investigate. It also needs to be stressed here that everything
in the details of the plan hinges on a very tight schedule, as Susan needs to be seen
at the talent show, get home, kill Glen, dispose of the evidence, and get back before anyone
notices that shes gone.

So plan for every contingency, but the whole
thing falls apart if Glen watches a movie, gets a phone call, takes a shower, or does
literally anything that would prevent or delay hearing the noise thats supposed to lure
him to his death. A great problem with the plan is that Henry,
via tape, has Susan run around to a bunch of different ATMs to withdraw a few hundred
dollars in cash at each. He says that this is to avoid suspicion and
get around withdrawal limits, but hitting up a bunch of different ATMs in a short span
of time is exactly the kind of behaviour thats going to draw suspicion. Also, sweetie, youre rich.

You have well over a million dollars in investments
and cash. Just go to the bank and take out the money
like a normal person. Its not even that much. She only takes out $1500, which is, one, not
enough to buy the hardware she gets from the gun store, and two, not a suspicious amount
of money.

Thats buying crap off Kijiji money. Oh, also, last note here, just because its
hilarious [plywood is slightly thicker than the human
skull] This isnt a flaw in the plan, its just
a really dumb line, one that they were so proud of they made sure to include it in the
title cards. Youre shooting 30 caliber frangible bullets,
his skull isnt going to be the problem here. [Henry is a Dick] [emotional intelligence] Thats a mind-boggling statement that just
says so much about the way Colin Trevorrow sees the world.

Henry is the least emotionally aware person
in the film. Hes actually a huge prick. I mean, his first actual scene is him dunking
on this kid, Tommy, for not being grown up enough for Henrys tastes. Rather than being a kid who has been unfairly
forced to grow up by a negligent, absent, or addicted parent, Henry has self-appointed
himself to be the adult.

This is tied to the movies characterization
of Susan, which well get to shortly, but theres no indication that things wouldnt
get done without Henry around. Henry is the kind of person who self-martyrs
because they see other people as incompetent. The film also tries to play Henry two ways,
and cant decide which is which. Susan tells him to spend less time focused
on his school work, and theres a whole half a scene about all the awards that Henry
wins for extracurricular activities.

So on one hand were supposed to think about
Henry as the kind of keener who does all the bonus work, and then some. But then in that first scene, the Tyler Durden
Jr. Speech, Henry is supposed to be reading an essay that hes written, except hes
clearly just improvising. He didnt do the work at all.

So theres the other implication, that hes
a waster, the smart kid who thinks the work is beneath him. To cap it off, he mocks his teacher. [Psycho social development] This whole moment is demonstrably false. Every shot of him in class, he looks absurdly
bored, and he doesnt have friends.

Henry spends his lunch playing checkers in
the cafeteria with the lunch lady, a scene where he does the whole movie smart person
shorthand of beating the game in one move just to show that he was in control all along,
which is, again, a huge dick move. Its also incredibly hack on the part of
the screenwriter. Like, this is just the worst kind of lazy
trope. Oh, and we cant forget the scene where
Henry, cop on the edge, bursts into Goddammit Janices office and threatens to turn in
his badge.

Henry also gets really judgy about Susan playing
video games. He mocks the way that she plays, and polices
what she does with her free time. Hes actually really, really condescending
to Susan. [Montage of times Henry is
a dick, dont forget violence isnt the worst thing] [youre doing it wrong] What? No, no shes not.

The middle finger is a gesture with a high
degree of plasticity. You have your classic style Detroit style The web shooters And, of course, The Logan. Theres nothing wrong with her form. Youre not being accurate, youre just
being a dick, and you deserve to get flipped off.

Oh, and how can we forget the part where Henry
cooks up a plot to murder his neighbour. [High degree of emotional intelligence] [Title card: Susan is Negligent, But Not Really] How the film characterizes Susan is, for me
at least, the weirdest part of the way the movie is constructed. All of the previous stuff about the way that
Henry interacts with her, theres a dissonance in that the movie still seems to think that
Henry is always correct. Hes an asshole genius as directed by someone
who doesnt think that hes an asshole.

The byproduct of this is that every time Henry
is a judgy prick to his mom, the framing and consequences always skew towards Henry. Even in the big death bed argument, where
Henry tells Susan to focus on the finances, and Susan says it doesnt matter, this isnt
ultimately framed as Henrys failure, his fear in the face of mortality, but instead
as Susans weakness. Within the framework of the story this isnt
Henry in denial, its Henry trying to tie up loose ends because hes the adult in
the relationship. Henrys plans and behaviour never actually
fail or fall apart.

The closest it gets is when Susan decides
not to shoot Glen, but nothing actually comes from that because Glen kills himself a few
minutes later. This moment, right here, where Susan goes
off-script, this is where the story finally picks up, where the stakes are raised, but
then it just ends and everything else goes according to Henrys plan with no fallout
whatsoever. So this creates a dynamic where the film is
constantly suggesting things about Susan that arent actually true if you think about
it for more than a minute. From a structural standpoint, the main problem
with Susan is that she has no arc as a character because none of her real problems are addressed,
and the problem that is addressed was never truly a problem.

Susans deal is that shes complacent. Shes comfortable, shes safe, shes
financially secure, and shes just kind of coasting through life, raising her two
kids, enjoying being in a place where nothing requires her constant, unbroken attention. She has plenty of time to bond with her kids,
drive them to and from school, take them to events, make them breakfast, and pack their
lunches. Now, she does have a bad case of Cool Mom,
shes overly codependent on Henry, and she has no real ambitions, but the family is,
objectively, doing fine.

Shes not super keyed into the family finances
because she doesnt need to be. Thats the luxury of being well off, regardless
of Henrys involvement. This goes back to everything we talked about
with the money sub-plot. Susan ostensibly doesnt know about all
the money that Henry has made on the stock market, but it doesnt seem to bother Susan
at all.

As far as shes concerned the family is
financially secure off whatever income she has, and nothing suggests that if it werent
for Henry theyd be screwed. I mean, presumably they survived just fine
before Henry started trading stocks, right? Being a Cool Mom is a character flaw, in the
absolute sense, but theres no stakes to it. Its not causing problems. Cool Mom is a surface level problem, a behavioural
problem, that makes other problems worse.

Being a cool mom didnt lead to Henrys
rapid onset terminal brain cancer being overlooked. Its only kind of a problem for one scene
after Henrys death where she has a very justifiable, but temporary, breakdown. Nothing that goes wrong in the second half
of the movie has anything to do with things she was failing to do when Henry was alive,
things that Henry was doing that she, the parent, should have been doing instead. The thing that the movie chooses to use as
synecdoche for Susans negligence is that she plays video games and has one girls night
with Sheila, but none of this is ever at the cost of anything.

Shes not playing games instead of getting
groceries or making breakfast. Shes not playing games instead of going
to work (which would still be pointless since the movie has explicitly told us that she
doesnt need to go to work in the first place.) Shes not drinking instead of helping with
homework, or getting drunk in the middle of the day, or inviting Sheila over six nights
a week. Shes just playing games, sometimes. [Turn it off] Yeah, the movie is super judgemental about
Susan not spending literally 100% of her time focused on her kids.

So as a character arc she kind of learns at
the very end to see her genius dead kid as the kid he was and not the small adult he
acted like. But hes already dead, so its not like
that changes anything. Aside from that shes just kind of complacent. Her sub-plot about wanting to be a picture
book author is, well, its disingenuous to even call it a sub-plot.

Its not Susans ambition so much as its
the one of her three hobbies that the movie approves of. [Title card: Christina is a Lamp] Alright, this one is the heavy one. Christinas involvement in the film is a
textbook example of a prop character. You could replace her with just about anything
and the plot would still work.

She could be a sack of jewels that Glen has
stolen and very little would actually change. The plot to kill Glen is supposedly motivated
by the desire to save Christina from abuse, but Christina isnt involved in it at all. Her agency in all of this is utterly absent. This is why its really just a plot to kill
Glen, not a plot to save Christina.

The whole story started from the idea of a
genus kid planning the perfect crime, and the dudes who made it were so busy high-fiving
each other for their wit that they didnt bother to ask if a story about an eleven year
old being raped by her step dad was the best vehicle for that. [Bts tonal tightrope clip] Jesus, they
think they nailed it. Anyway, Christina only has a half dozen lines
in the entire movie, and no one bothers to even try and empower her, only taking the
time to make a few anonymous phone calls before giving up. Yet were expected to believe that shes
so close with the Carpenter family that she has fancy personal handshakes with Susan and
slots effortlessly into the hole Henry left behind.

[Disgusted face] From a storytelling standpoint theres a
whole host of problems with how this entire plot unfolds. We, the audience, first get an inkling that
somethings wrong when Henry notices that Christina is sad on the playground. That night, by happenstance, Henry is looking
out his bedroom window when he sees, presumably, Christina being abused by Glen. Now, from our perspective this is the inciting
moment.

Henry has discovered a crime, and is now going
to start trying to correct it. The next morning he tries, lightly, to prod
Christina in the car, and then, in class, when she isnt interested in a donut, he
gets up, storms into the principals office and [goddammit Janice] This is complete whiplash. Were twenty minutes into the movie and
all of a sudden this isnt something new, this is an ongoing thing that he has tried
to report before? Hes dumping all this new information that
contradicts what we were just told. Everything about the framing, music, and acting
in the previous scenes indicate that this is new, not some long running thing that Henry
has been dealing with.

In the first scene with all the key players
nothing about this plot is indicated beyond the fact that the kids dont particularly
like Glen. Also in one of the weirdest creative decisions,
even though Henry says shes been coming to school with bruises, the hacks that went
with this visual shorthand [Henry winning a game in one move to show hes smart] decided
that they werent going to with a visible bruise. Its weird. Why wouldnt you show us that? Its the easiest thing to show.

Then goddammit Janice says she needs concrete
proof, but bruises werent enough, I guess? All of this repeats again at the end, when
Susan makes all the same claims, that she apparently has all this information stashed
away, but weve never seen any of it, which is just asinine in a story thats literally
focused on planning and details. We have the process Henry used to partially
forge custody papers, but zilch about gathering actual evidence against Glen. The movie has this really weird aversion to
making any of the characters actually flawed or negligent in some way. If the filmmakers gave Christina visible bruises
that they show us, well, suddenly every character who can see those bruises, including Susan,
teachers, and goddammit Janice, are accountable.

Their failure to react or willingness to overlook
that information is damning, and makes them complicit in Glens abuse. The movie goes to weird lengths to give everyone
an out. No one makes actual, awful mistakes, they
just make implied mistakes. I mean, thats why theyre even doing
this flimsy due diligence in the first place.

Its all just shoddy convenience so that
Henry can be blameless when he decides to plan to kill Glen, make it look like there
was no other option, instead of implying that maybe Henry was actually just a little too
eager to kill Mister Sickelman next door. [Title card: Henry is Jesus] Easily one of the strangest elements of the
movie is the weird, mangled Jesus metaphor. First of all, the movie is called The Book
of Henry, an aesthetic call to the naming of biblical books. The Book of Matthew, The Book of John, The
Book of Jeremiah, Job, Ezra, Ezekiel, Mark, Luke, Esther, Ruth, Malachi.

Second, Henrys death is an aesthetic call
to pieta sculpture. The thinking mans Jesus imagery, for when
a crucifixion pose would be too crass. Third, Henrys number one disciple, the
one who first takes his words and convinces others of their importance, is named Peter. Fourth, the family name is Carpenter, which
is only about one step down from when Lost had a metaphysical guide named Christian Shepherd.

Fifth, at the very end Susan reads her new
story about how a flower dies and fertilizes a garden with its body, which is just a muddy
repaint of the Christian belief that Jesus died to exalt mankind, but is also clearly
intended as a metaphor for Henry who died but made things better in the process? Okay, so, the movie thinks that its message
is about apathy. [Henry clip] So the takeaway here is that the death of
Henry is what taught Susan to be less apathetic and to reach out and help others, that she
went from being unwilling to intervene in the grocery store to willing to kill Glen
and forge documents in order to save Christina. But she didnt kill Glen, and, in fact,
once she learns about Christinas situation, especially once she sees it for herself, shes
anything but apathetic. Sure, the things that she tries are largely
ineffective and she quickly latches on to the murder plot, but she doesnt need any
persuading to care.

Even in the grocery store, the problem isnt
apathy, its feeling powerless. Shes worried that if she intervenes it
will make things worse. This is not the moral failing she actually
overcomes. Its never even implied that killing Glen
might have unforeseen negative outcomes.

Oh, and if you want an actual example of a
bad deus ex machina ending, it would be when principle Goddammit Janice decides, completely
independent of the actions of any of the characters, to finally take do her job in a way that neatly
resolves all conflicts while absolving the central characters for any of their actions. Susan gets away with attempted murder because
Glen kills himself before he can tell anyone what she did. [Title card: A Lesson in Imagery] Theres so, so much more we could talk about,
but to wrap this up I want to talk about one scene in particular. My favourite scene in the whole movie for
how utterly absurd it is at every level of conception.

For Peters act in the talent show he pushes
out a large chest and says that he will make his brother Henry reappear. [When Im done hes going to be here right
among all of us] Now, theres a critical detail from earlier
that needs to be mentioned. After Henrys death theres no funeral
scene, not even in montage. This is important because this moment is supposed
to create some uncertainty.

Did Henry, genus child and Jesus metaphor,
in fact fake his own death and will now pop out to the delight of all? Who knows! So Peter opens the chest, kicks the chest
and it starts spraying fake snow out over the audience. Just, everywhere. Then everyone gets up, standing ovation. Peter and Susan hug.

So, this scene. This scene. Alright. Whats going on here, what theyre trying
to do.

This is, obviously, a callback to the mountain
climbing nonsense from earlier. Which no one in the crowd would be familiar
with, so this is literally just a chest that spits out fake snow. Metaphorically, this is the Book of Henrys
version of the baptism of fire inside its mangled Jesus metaphor. Peter, chief apostle, has preached to the
crowd the whimsy of Henry, and his spirit has descended upon them.

But you know what else it means, visually? It means that Peter has promised the crowd
that his brother Henry would be physically right here among them. And then he sprays them with a dry, white
powder. The visual implication, however unintended,
is that Peter scatters Henrys ashes over the crowd. Standing ovation..

Surface Book 2 Review - The Most Powerful 2 in 1 Laptop!

Hey, how's it going? Dave2D here So this is the Surface Book 2, the 13 inch version Now, when the original Surface Book launched in 2015 I thought it was some of the coolest pieces
of tech available at the time It's just really impressive because No one else was making something quite like it. Two years later, we're still there No one else is making something quite like this The CPU is built into the screen It's removable and it's a fully functional tablet by itself And then the GPU is in the keyboard so when
they connect, it becomes a full-fledged graphically powered laptop, so... I mean a lot of people want something like this It's something quite unique But it comes at a pretty steep price tag This thing, this unit here, starts at $2000 US. Now, there is a cheaper version But the cheaper version does not have
the dedicated graphics card in the keyboard so that makes it not as cool Or just not as unique to be honest So I'm going to focus just the experience
on this one, the $2000 version Now, there's a 15 inch version that's
significantly more expensive I may do video in the future on that
but, 13-inch for this video I want to talk about the hinge first.

This is a hinge that, when it first was announced I had mixed feelings about it because I felt like there's so many moving parts There's places that dust can get into, there's
just a lot of things that could go wrong, I thought That's not the case. Two years later People still don't have any major issues with the hinge Now the design isn't for everyone.
It can look a little bit weird But functionally and mechanically, it's really well made. When you open it up You'll notice that very little has changed aesthetically The screen is still the 3 by 2 aspect ratio
with good color accuracy. It's bright It's high-res.

There's no complaints here.
There's no pen in the box this year It's an extra 100 bucks if you want to buy one, which I thought was a little bit weird But I guess not everyone uses a
pen so it's understandable The one I'm using is actually from the
Eve and it works perfectly fine The keyboard and trackpad are nice It's a noticeably better typing experience than the original Surface Book It's a little bit quieter, and it just feels more responsive than the original Surface Book keyboard,
not that that one was bad It was already good. This is just a little bit better.
The trackpad has also improved It's obviously still running Windows Precision drivers The button mechanism feels a little
more deliberate when you press it And it's a little bit louder than I remember
the Surface Book 1 to be but it feels awesome, so keyboard,
trackpad, both excellent Performance is good. It's the quad core Kaby Lake-R. It's a 15 watt CPU, but it's fast in short bursts.

Multi-core
performance is really strong now But the question is whether this extra speed really makes a big difference for what you do And it really depends on your workflow The truth is for the majority of people that are using a device like this it won't make their workflow Or just work experience that much faster You need specific apps that can
handle multi-core processing Some computational stuff will really benefit
from it and same with video editing But at the end of the day, it is a 15 watt U processor So it's not gonna be the fastest laptop in the world. One thing to keep in mind, the 13 inch version does not have a fan in the tablet component. The 15 inch version of this device like the Surface Book 2, 15 inch screen does have the same processor as this, but there is a fan in there So it's able to run at a higher clock speed for
longer periods of time. It also pulls I think 20 watts instead of the 15 watt at max There is some CPU throttling when
you push it hard enough But most people won't notice it because this is
not the device that people would choose for really heavy CPU activity.

In terms of gaming performance, It's actually pretty good. The GTX 1050 pushes
out some decent performance You have to run it at a lower-than-native resolution But light-to-moderately demanding titles are very playable on this device There are reports that the 15 inch
version with the GTX 1060 is actually pulling more power than
the AC adapter can supply So it's actually draining batteries while you're using it That doesn't happen on the 13 inch version
because this is running a 1050 Slightly less power drain, so yeah. If you want to play games on this device I mean, neither of them are a good choice But the issue doesn't happen on the 13 inch version The speakers. Surprisingly, these
have been improved this year They're not as good as the 13 inch MacBook Pro speakers, but they sound pretty good And they're positioned well, you get really nice stereo separation - The webcam is really good.

It's actually
one of the best webcams I've seen on a laptop. The mic quality
sounds pretty good as well Battery life on this thing is very good I'm getting around 10 hours of use
with the screen at 250 nits Now, this is with it in laptop mode. With the screen removed and just using it as a clipboard, I'm only getting around three hours This has a 23 watt hour battery inside the screen, and I think 67 watt hour battery inside the base But overall, good battery life It'll easily last you the full day, and for people that aren't familiar with how the charging works You can charge the tablet by itself or you
can connect the tablet to the keyboard and just charge the base and everything
will charge up altogether The drive speeds are a mixed bag The read speeds are fast but the
write speeds are a little bit slow The thermals are good The temperatures are comfortable
both in tablet and laptop mode The fan noise under max load is a little bit loud But it's kind of expected considering the size of the chassis, so there's a lot of stuff I like about the Surface Book 2, but the big things are not so much the CPU and the GPU upgrades It's the little things, like the things like the
speakers, the keyboard, the trackpad Things that they didn't have to change but they tweaked it anyways because they're just trying to make a better product overall and I really like that That being said, there are things
that I dislike about this thing And the first one, the big one, is the price. Now the price When you first look at this thing seems very expensive It's $2,000 for a 13-inch laptop with a
U processor and a GTX 1050 If you spent that money on something like an XPS 15 You'd get something that's more powerful, but the reason why it costs this much is because Microsoft is the only company making
something like this No one else makes something like this and The reason why is because it's super hard to engineer this hinge And it's super hard to engineer this
device to have a CPU up top and the GPU on the bottom because if it wasn't hard, you bet that Huawei or Xiaomi would make something like this for a lot less money But they aren't because they can't, and
that is why they can charge whatever they want to.

I don't like the price I still feel like it's like 10, 15 percent
more than it should be Because this is such a good product if it was more appropriately priced, more reasonably priced I think a lot of people could make great use of this But we can't because it's just a little bit another
price range for a lot of people which is unfortunate. The other thing I don't like about this thing, is the lack of a Thunderbolt 3 port. So it has a decent port selection, two USB 3.0'S, an SD card slot and a USB-C. But it doesn't support Thunderbolt 3
and that really bugs me because, this is a device that costs as much as it does and It's their flagship products, right? Every single other manufacturer out there who's making flagship laptops has
Thunderbolt 3 support in 2017 and it just lets you connect to faster
storage, external GPUs, 4K displays or at least multiple 4K displays There's just a lot of good features that
come with Thunderbolt 3 And it seems so weird that they didn't include it Now, the omission of Thunderbolt 3 feels almost purposeful like they did it with intent
and that's what bugs me Like, are they waiting for the Surface Book 3 to
come out so they can sell that or Was it something like cost-saving measure? I have no idea, but it doesn't make sense to me as to why they didn't include such a ubiquitously useful port in late 2017, and I guess that leads to my last thing I don't love about it.

The AC adapter they include is a proprietary connector, and it would have been nice if they
included a USB-C adapter You can charge it through that port, you just
need to supply your own adapter So overall, great device You just got to make sure that you're using it to its full purpose because, if you're buying this and you're not making use of the tablet And you're not making use of the
detach ability and all that, then there are probably cheaper devices that would have been a better fit, but
if you can make use of it and you can afford its relatively high
price tag, you're gonna enjoy it. Okay, hope you guys enjoyed this video! Thumbs if you liked it, subs if you loved it! See you guys next time!.

SMELLY SOCKS by Robert Munsch Read Aloud by Books Read Aloud For Children

Smelly Socks. By Robert Munsch. Illustrated by Michael Martchenko. When Tina wanted new socks, her mom took her
to the only store in town.

This store only has black socks, said Tina. Can we please go across the river and get
some really good socks? We cant drive right across the river
because there is no bridge here, said Tinas mom. You know it is a long, long, long way to
the only bridge and besides, we dont have a car! So Tina went to her grandfather and said,
Can you please take me across the river in your boat? I want to buy some really good socks. The motor is not working on the boat,
said her grandfather.

Row! Said Tina. We can row! I will row and you can sit in the back of the boat. You will row? Said her grandfather. YES! Said Tina.

Rowing is easy. So Tina got in the boat and rowed slowly SPLASH SPLASH SPLASH. And the boat went in slow circles SWISH! SWISH! SWISH! Tina rowed fast SPLASH SPLASH SPLASH SPLASH SPLASH. And the boat went in fast circles SWISH SWISH SWISH SWISH SWISH SWISH! This boat has forgotten how to row, said Tina.

You sit in the back and tell me what to
do, said her grandfather. So Tina sat in the back and told her grandfather how to row, and her grandfather rowed all the way across the river. Then they walked all the way through the town
to the big sock store. At the store Tina tried on socks that were too big, socks that were too little, socks that were too blue, and socks that were too pink.

Tina tried on millions and millions of socks. Finally she found a perfect pair of red, yellow,
and green socks. Then, since it was almost time for dinner,
Tina and her grandfather ran back to the boat, and this time the boat sort of remembered
how to row. Tina rowed round and round and round, and
still got to the other side.

When they got back, Tina ran home and yelled, Socks! Socks! Wonderful socks! These are the best socks I have ever seen in my life. Grandpa rowed me all the way across the river
to get these socks. I am NEVER going to take them off. Never? Said Tinas mother.

NNNNNNNNEVER! Said Tina. Uh-oh! Said Tinas mother. So Tina wore her socks for a long time. She wore them for one, two, three, four, five,
six, seven, eight, nine, ten whole days.

Her mother said, Tina, I know you love
these socks. Just let me wash them really quick. They will start to SMELL if you dont get
them washed. Socks! Socks! Wonderful socks! Said Tina.

I am NEVER, NEVER going to take them off. After Tina wore her socks for ten more days,
the kids at school said, Tina! What a smell! Change your socks. Socks! Wonderful socks! Said Tina. I am NEVER, NEVER, NEVER, NEVER, NEVER
going to take them off.

After Tina wore her socks for ten more days, a whole flock of Canada geese flew over her house and dropped right out of the sky from the smell. Two moose walked through her yard and fell over from the smell. Ducks, raccoons, and squirrels fell over when
she walked to school. Finally, even a skunk fell over from the smell.

Tinas friends decided to do something. They all came to her house and knocked on the door. BLAM BLAM BLAM BLAM BLAM! When Tina opened the door, they grabbed her
and carried her to the river. Then they held their noses and took off her socks.

Some of the kids held Tina, and some of the
kids washed the socks. SCRUB SCRUB SCRUB SCRUB SCRUB! All the fish in the river floated up to the
top and acted like they were dead. The kids washed some more: SCRUB SCRUB SCRUB SCRUB SCRUB! All the beavers ran out of the river and went
to live with Tinas grandfather. They washed some more: SCRUB SCRUB SCRUB SCRUB SCRUB! Far down the river, people said, How come
the river smells like dirty socks? Finally the socks were clean.

Wow! Said Tina. They look nicer when they are clean. Wow! Said Tina. They smell nicer when they are clean.

Wow! Said Tina. They feel nicer when they are clean. Tina put on the socks and said, I am going
to wear clean socks from now on. The beavers left her grandfathers house
and went back into the river.

The Canada geese got up off the ground and
flew away. The fish decided that they were not dead after
all, and jumped and splashed in the river. Tina went to her mom and said, My socks
are nice and clean, and I think it would be very nice if you took me to town to get me a nice new red, yellow, and green shirt. Promise to wash it? Said her mom.

No, said Tina. If I wait long enough, the kids at school
will wash it for me..

Sean Spicers New Book Is PACKED With Lies And Stupidity

Sean Spicer's new book, The Briefing, came
out this week and as pretty much every single person in the country expected, it is filled
with lies, falsehoods, inaccuracies but more importantly, blanket stupidity. Page to page. Sean Spicer, the former White House press
secretary, proved in his book that he is an absolute moron. The reason I say lies and inaccuracies and
not just all lies, is because I think with Sean Spicer it's not just that he's lying
all the time, it's that he's so painfully stupid that he doesn't necessarily know that
he's lying.

It's not malicious, it's unintentional because
the man needs psychiatric help. Here's one of the things that he got wrong
in his book. He refers to the Steele dossier that thing
that Republicans like to tell us has been discredited even though so far every claim
in it that's actually been investigated has been proven true. He says that the author of it was not Christopher
Steele, the former ex-Russian spy, he refers to him as Michael Steele.

And for those paying attention at home, Michael
Steele actually happens to be the former chairman of the Republican National Committee. The head of the Republican party. He couldn't even bother to get the man's name
right. Christopher Steele, not Michael Steele.

Somewhere along the path of editing, which
I would have to assume happened, nobody else caught that either. Or do you hate Sean Spicer enough that you
were like, hey look at what this dumb ass did here. I'm going to let it go. I'm just going to let it go to print 'cause
he's an idiot.

I'm hoping that that's what happened. In fact, that whole scene that I just did
right there, that's playing out in my head so beautifully and I hope that's what they
did to Spicer. It goes on. Another inaccuracy that the Hill describes
that was in the book was Sean Spicer referring to a White House press conference that Barack
Obama held in 1999.

1999, Almost 10 years before Barack Obama
even became President of the United States. He somehow managed to give a press briefing
that nobody else knew about. Didn't know it existed. It didn't surface in any of the campaign attacks
on Barack Obama.

Somehow managed to go back in time and give
a White House press briefing in 1999. Spicer also talks about the time that he spent
working for former Republican congressman Mark Foley. Talks about how he's a great guy and was just
great with everybody. Doesn't for once mention the fact that Foley
resigned in disgrace after it was revealed that he was messaging young, young, young,
young boys online trying to get naked pictures of them.

Spicer has proven with his little book here,
one, that he is painfully ignorant and nobody should take him seriously. But two, that working for Donald Trump did
not make him a liar. He was a liar long before he came into the
Trump administration. He's a liar a year after he left the Trump
administration and this man is going to be a liar for the rest of his life..

Porsche Made a LAPTOPBook One Review

Any Apple diehard will tell you that some things just cannot be expressed on a spec sheet. These "Je ne sais quoi" of usability or industrial design can elevate the experience of using an object. Be it a phone or a pair of premium toenail clippers from merely practical to... ...Ethereal, but at what cost? Well it turns out the answer is $2,500 Introducing the Book One from Porsche Design.

A laptop designed to get your motor running And I'll tell you about it right after we keep the LTT motor running with this message from ZOTAC. ZOTAC's ZBOX PCs are great for applications like streaming and gaming They feature Intel 7th Generation core processors in tiny form factors. Check them out at the link below. Okay, so the industrial design is pretty impressive.

It's got a matte anodized aluminum chassis with soft campers and polished edges And all 1580 grams of it looks and feels amazing when closed with a hinge design that is subjectively anyway among the best that we've seen on a 2 in 1. It's got just the right amount of resistance and goes all the way around without requiring you to take the screen off first or Leaving a weird gap like the Microsoft Surface Book does. By the way, Porsche Designs claims that the hinge design was inspired by the gearbox of a sports car. But I think it's just as likely that the marketing department thought of that after the fact.

Anywho, that's not the only trick up it's sleeve. Like the Surface Book, and incidentally the Starship Enterprise, Book One can also be separated from its base entirely and used as a tablet by holding down the eject button on the side and pulling it apart. A process that is slightly less jank than the Surface Book. The 13.3 Inch 16:9 screen is actually pretty nice with a 3200 by 1800 QHD+ resolution and 10-point multi-touch along with support for the 4096 Pressure Level Book One Pen by Wacom that looks as the rest of the product, and that can apparently run for eight months off of it's fun-sized AAAA battery.

The I/O is probably best described as thoughtful I mean there isn't a ton of it, but it's really well placed. The base has a USB C port that lets the book one charge in just two hours, then two more USB 3.0 Ports for regular stuff and a microSD slot for expansion. Then the tablet portion has a very welcome Thunderbolt 3 port, A 5 megapixel camera with IR for Windows Hello And a headphone jack that doesn't leave the cord floating in the air, like Microsoft's design. So, as advertised it's all pretty in premium, right? Well not so fast.

We did find a few skid marks on this road While the keyboard is easy to type on, the key caps are smaller than the keys on the Surface Book Because the gaps between the keys aren't as finely milled meaning that you have a little bit less keyboard in the same footprint. The keys themselves also seem to have A bit of a resistance right at the top of the stroke that puts the typing experience a bit on the fatiguing side if you have dainty fingers like I do. As for the Microsoft precision certified touchpad, well, It's big, works beautifully and actually handles very similarly to the one on the Surface Book. Except that on the Porsche Designs it makes this noise that Well, I don't know let us know what you guys think Finally, the suspension is a little looser than I'd prefer, the screen has enough bezel that you'd think it has like an extra touch bar on it or something and Because of the way the hinge is designed, the detached tablet has asymmetrical corners.

Now this stuff may sound pretty nitpicky. But this is the kind of scrutiny that you expose yourself to when you charge a premium for your premium design So should you buy this notebook? Maybe. But not before we take a pit stop to talk about the internals. The Book One had really good specs when it launched.

But that was back in April, and yes, I know we're like way late on this thing But, we wanted to check it out anyway because it's cool. The point though is that that was before Ryzen Mobile, moball..? Or, Coffee Lake were things that existed. As it is today, everything but the dual-core CPU holds up pretty well. And thermals are pretty good as a half hour of stress testing in AIDA64 Never made her throttle and noise wise, she never stood out against our offices HVAC.

But, you might have noticed that I never specified what graphics card is inside and that is because There's no discreet graphics. So no, you won't be able to play Mankind Divided at 1080p even on low settings. Making it kind of hard to recommend the book one since the new Surface Book 2 has an 8th Gen Core i7 Processor and a GTX 1050 for about the same price, back to whether to buy them I'm the kind of person who would prefer a graphics card to a sexy hinge and a sexy design. But, Porsche Designs clearly believes that there is more to the device experience than raw horsepower, and we'd love to hear from you guys in the comments below.

Which one would you lean towards? AIAIAI's Modular TMA-2 headphones system is going wireless! They're launching the HO5, their new wireless, Bluetooth pair of headphones. Now the TMA-2 features more than a thousand possible configurations meaning that you can create your own personalized product that fits your specific needs while being able to change individual parts along the way. Now existing TMA-2 users... You guys are actually really gonna love this because you are not left out in the cold, you can upgrade to wireless while keeping your original sound preferences.

So check it out now through the link in the video description. Say goodbye to headphone obsolescence. So thanks for watching guys if you disliked this video you can hit that button but if you liked it hit like Get subscribed maybe consider checking out where to buy the stuff. We featured at the link in the video description Also down there, We've got our merch store, which has cool shirts like this one as well as our community forum Which you should totally join..
