Extra Reading
Below you’ll find an incomplete (yet ever-expanding) list of books, articles, podcasts, and blogs that have inspired me, influenced my thinking, and encouraged me to become much, much more than I once believed I was capable of becoming. As I find new things, I’ll add them here, so check back often!
Books
The 4-Hour Workweek – it all started for me with this book; thanks Tim!!
Seeking Wisdom – This is one of the most important books I have ever read. If our simulation creators were to hand us a user manual to understand humanity, this would be it.
Spiritual Enlightenment: The Damndest Thing – This book completely shifted the way I view reality. There’s no unseeing this. It’s like Morpheus pulling Neo out of The Matrix, world-changing red pill shit. You’ve been warned. If you enjoy this book, I’ve loved everything Jed McKenna has written.
