The Art of Improvement program has been such a game changer for me and how I start my days and week. The video's and animations seem to arrive at the perfect time to help address an area of concern or challenge I am going through. Thank you

These videos of the channel helped me so much. I've learned a lot of things. I'm looking forward to the channel's new contents.

I have read more than 4K NF books over the past 50 years and have spent countless hours 'mentally' developing a sort of 'mind map' connecting the dots…the Art of Improvement has gone one step further and expertly produced them! Thank you!

I have found Art of Improvement's content fantastic, it is easy to understand and digest, has improved my self awareness and helped me make positive changes in my life. Thank you Adam, you and your AoI lessons are inspiring!

In early 2020 I was furloughed because of COVID and it turned out to be the best thing that ever happened. I needed to make changes in my life and The Art of Improvement helped me get the right start. It gave me the necessary tools.

Awesome. Love the graphic presentation. So much easier to pick up than reading bland text. Keep it coming!

Seeing solutions and ideas in a visual manner has been an eye opener. It sticks with you much better than just reading print.

I am pursuing a growth-mindset and an attitude of incremental improvement. The video's are outstanding, and I have found the supplementary illustrations and pdf summaries to be a value-add as I also pursue daily time of technology fasting.

Always look forward to receiving The Art of Improvement email; each idea is a visual masterpiece.

Great visualisations around interesting topics & books.

The Art of Improvement has helped me develop my confidence in many areas, thanks to the great videos which are backed up by the illustration package that I have recently purchased. Thank you for the inspiration that you make so available.

Great work, full of wisdom! I liked it. Thanks.

Behind the channel

Hi - I'm Adam

I started making YouTube videos in my spare time back in 2015, after a Computer Science degree and years in IT left me wanting more creative work. What began as whiteboard animations of books and ideas became The Art of Improvement in 2018 - taking strong personal-development writing and bringing it to life with clear, illustrated animations.

Today the channel has over 1.1 million subscribers. The aim is simple: clear explanations, visuals you can follow, and ideas you can actually use - whether you're building habits, fighting procrastination, or trying to think more clearly.
