Brian lives what he preaches!

Brian is phenomenal!
His ability to distil and blend modern science and ancient philosophy is unmatched!
Maybe the most comprehensive set of scientifically verified ideas and tools for more fulfilled life.

And he does all the things he has collected and shares with the world. You can judge by him how much they actually work.

Enjoy! I have been following Brian for almost a decade and this is by far the best summary of north of 500+ self help books.

What a waste of time

Starting a chapter about hope by giving an example of how mice drowned in a lab in 15 mins and then, when taken out , being left alone and warm and IN PEACE for a few hours, then put back in the hellhole in that shitty lab, performing the same "test" they survived 60 hours before drowning because they had hope ....what a BS thing to give as an example! Everyone with working brain cells knows this so called test is outdated cruelty and has never proven to be effective. Only shitty labs and people continue to use it and i guess people like the author continue to mention it , even saying it was a "remarkable result".
Also what is with the multiple chapters with stupid, lame advice we can copy and paste from Pinterest. Honestly, a waste of time.I just hope Audible returns my credit when i return this BS "book".
