Episode 2: From Pickup Artist to New Thought: The Books That Changed Everything

The idea

In his mid-20s, Travis Ahern read The Game to learn how to talk to women. A few years later he realized there was no substance to him: "an empty vessel." So he started reading money books, then mind books, then spiritual books. That road ended at New Thought.

In Episode 2, Travis and Jeremy Kenisky go through the books that shaped them: Think and Grow Rich and the number Travis wrote down at 26 and hit on his 30th birthday, The Richest Man in Babylon, The Last Lecture, Man's Search for Meaning and Moonwalking with Einstein. They also get into asset or liability, why audiobooks can rewire your inner voice (and why 3x speed backfired), don't blame the employee, fix the SOP, why school is "a Henry Ford assembly line," and why it's called "spelling."

“A man is literally what he thinks, his character being the complete sum of all his thoughts.”James Allen, As a Man Thinketh (1903)

One action for today

Put a number on it. Write down what you want to be worth and by when, put it where you'll see it every morning, then go build toward it.
