There's a Napoleon Hill, where they call it the mirroring effect. I don't know if you like heard of anything like that.

Yeah, so he talks about a guy, he was at a long story short, he was at a party and the host was really drunk and he watched the host go into his room and talk to himself for five minutes in the mirror, looking into his soul.

It was like, you fool, these people think you're drunk and you're sober as a ghost. Basically talked himself into being sober.

And Napoleon Hill said he saw him sober up just from staring in the mirror for five minutes and telling his cells, telling his atoms to be sober.

If you read Think and Grow Rich like it's one of the principles in there and the big thing to making it past you know a week or a month is actually breath work and understanding how to actually control your breathing.

And those, the people that I ended up buying their books, the Napoleon Hills, those were initially my quote unquote mentors, especially in the business world and how I think about the world today.

I read Think and Grow Rich when I was 18.

Actually, I read Think and Grow Rich a Black Choice by Dennis Kimbrough and Napoleon Hill. So I read the black version of it.

That was my first book that I read cover to cover.

especially if you were told and all you heard was you got to graduate you got to the white the white fence the white house and the picket fence and and so I thought that I was gonna have to be a stripper or wait for somebody to take care of me because I didn't graduate but Think and Grow Rich made me realize that I didn't have to graduate from high school to be successful and that's when I learned the power of non-traditional education.

But when I first read Think and Grow Rich by Napoleon Hill, he has a whole chapter on sexual transmutation.

It's like we encourage you to get into your Bible, you know, get into your Quran, get into your Torah, like get into the Septuagint, whatever you read and hold it up against our show and try to prove us wrong. You know, we're not going to quote scripture in the show, but try to prove us wrong.

We actually want to encourage it. But it's like the system built on top of those beliefs, let's in faith, let's look at that. Like we encourage you to get into your Bible, you know, get into your Quran, get into your Torah, like get into the Septuagint, whatever you read and hold it up against our show and try to prove us wrong. You know, we're not going to quote scripture in the show, but try to prove us wrong.

Isn't there something in the Christian faith you know in the Bible called the book of numbers?

I could be wrong, but it really says that in the Bible

So if we know all this stuff is real, let's go back to the Bible. You can't spell the word Bible without the word lie

And so why are you basing your life off of a book? And I'm not a Satanist or anarchy. I'm a deeply spiritual person, deeply connected person, but this whole religion thing is creating extremism in some ways.

And even that comment of, you know, that story in Jesus where he went for 40 days and he was tempted by the devil and Lucifer that there's, there is no devil. Um, Lucifer was also Enki.

that's when I first picked up a personal development book, Thinking Grow Rich, How to Win Friends and Influence People.

I started reading a lot of books when I was young. You know, I think you grow rich, rich, dad poured out How to Win Friends and Influence People. And then they just kept rolling from there.

I have like the book Atomic Habits, you know, it talks about like work life balance, right? And so I'm always leaning into family or work.

James Clear who wrote the book of Tommy Cab he's a great guy I've had him a couple times in my groups on my podcast and he says something so profound he says you don't rise to the level of your goals you fall to the level of your systems you don't rise to the level of your goals you fall to the level of your system

Probably the best thing that everybody here can do... is understanding human nature and studying books like, you know, Robert Greene's 48 Laws of Power or I think even better is his Laws of Human Nature.

I've always kind of want to read the 40 laws of power 48 laws of power. Yeah Robert Green.

I just saw a TikTok once it was like it's banned in prisons or something because of like the manipulation aspect of it. But then I saw more of like his stuff where you know it's not really manipulation it's more of just understanding like how the people around you view you.

There's a book, How to Buy Back Your Time. A lot of great stuff in the book but it talks about optimizing things so much that you don't have to work and it brings up examples like, well, Oprah only works four hours a week. Now she's a billionaire.

Dan Martell. So I'll give him a shout out on that. Buy Back Your Time book. I had my assistant read it and she's got a report coming to me next week on what she thinks we should do based on the book, which I thought was like another level of hack for his book.

Tim Ferriss in his book like The Titans or whatever, it's like this thick, he says the most common thing with all billionaires that he interviewed is they sleep on a chili pad.

My favorite book is called the Titan the life of John D Rockefeller senior.

I, in 2013, I released, so there was a book I was writing. It's actually my bestselling book ever. It was called Choose Yourself.

I released the book before it was the official release. I released, I made a Bitcoin only store that only accepted Bitcoin. And I sold a PDF of this book for about one 10th a Bitcoin at the time.

In 2013, I released. So there was a book I was writing. It's actually my best-selling book ever. It was called Choose Yourself.

I made a Bitcoin-only store that only accepted Bitcoin. And I sold a PDF of this book for about one-tenth a Bitcoin at the time.

I read this book and I think it's by, I forgot the name of this author, but it was called New Orleans Vampires or NOLA vampires. And I'm like, girl, why would you put the pictures in here?

Oh, there's photos of them? That's that. Yeah. There's photos of them. I had to throw the book out.

I read this book and I think it's by, I forgot the name of this author, but it was called New Orleans Vampires or NOLA Vampires.

I had to throw the book out and then I had another friend who was like, oh my God, I read that book. I had to throw it out.

I think anybody that's read the book Breathe knows that we have a long history in humanity of studying the fact that good nasal breathing equals good health throughout life.

Balance it's not what you think

And I think the third one that was very powerful for me was Man Searching for Meaning, which is a guy that got to the camp and separated from his wife.

The Holocaust? Yeah. And he find a way to stay positive, which is, you know, the circumstances that he had, you know, to find, any day you can die, to find a way to create new habits and find happiness in that moment. It's incredible.

There's a a book that a woman named Annie Jacobson just wrote about Nuclear War that goes into detail in all of this And and it is incredibly disturbing and eye-opening To to look at what she details in The actions that a president Must take and will take In the event of a Nuclear War and what the consequences are really Yes, I highly recommend it.

I'm listening to this book right now actually, The Power of Now.

not realizing the level of energy Your Body Keeps the Score, the level of energy of hate and not willing to forgive that I was keeping in my body which was blocking me from the abundance frequency,

Manifesting, you know, I read The Secret when I was like 17 and I felt like that shit works.

I have a book, my good buddy Dr. Dale Bredesen wrote a book called The End of Alzheimer's and this book tells you the 16 things you need to do to almost make your risk of Alzheimer's as close to zero as possible.

Wow, I need to get that book.

It was between Homo Deus and Sapiens. I was like the meat in the sandwich there that was kind of a cool thing as an author as they're real famous books and It turns out if you can increase the electrical power in your brain you can increase your IQ.

I just finished a book, Die With Zero. You probably have an opposing view to that book, but what's your strategy with handing off money to your kids?
