On Purpose with Jay Shetty

And if you've never read it, I can't recommend this book enough. The book Behave by Robert Sapolsky, maybe one of the most extraordinary books I think has been written in the last 10 years.

And so he developed The Wim Hof Method, a natural path to an optimal state of body and mind.

but today we're going to talk about how you can find it all in this book, The Wim Hof Method.

Please go out and get The Wim Hof Method, the book, which will be released in the UK on 24th September 2020, and the US on the 20th of October.

Go and get it. There's a great picture of Wim on the front. You know, he looks like he's just like come out of The Revenant or something like that. It looks like a shot from a movie. But please go and get it because it's going to give you the practices to re-gain your breath.

I can't recommend Wim, his teachings, and his books more than ever.

I think I was just in a bookstore and I liked, I was probably in the astrology section and right across from it was the Eastern religion. And I saw a Thich Nhat Hanh book, Pieces Every Step.

And I think I just liked that title. And I read it probably in two or three days.

And it was so simple, so poetic. And I applied it immediately. And I just felt good.

And from there on, I would always get his new books and give them to people.

And today we're talking about his new book, Young Forever, The Secrets to Living Your Longest Healthiest Life.

So that's really a lot about my book, Young Fretters, about is about how do we activate these ancient longevity switches, these ancient healing systems?

And when you go and grab a copy of this book, it's available as we speak. Make sure you go and order a copy of the book.

This step-by-step program is to reverse disease, ease pain, and renew energy.

Even day by day and what you can do.

She's the co-author of seven books, including most recently Eight Dates, which I can't wait to talk about.

So those were the two things kind of happening and that honestly, should I say or should I go? My first book on narcissism came from after the sessions, these clients were so overwhelmed, they'd often say, could you just put this in an email?

It also helped me organize my thoughts. And then I thought, okay, I keep writing the same email. So let's just make that a book.

Adam Grant wrote the great book called Think Again, all about this moment.

Today we're talking about his newest book out now, This Is Why You Dream.

And it was like they're like, you wrote this thing about the brain, like, you know, smart drugs, Alzheimer's, creativity.

And they said, then let us know where the gaps are. Say maybe say likely and say, I wonder, I believe. And that's what I've tried to do in the book.

The book is called This Is Why You Dream.

The book is called This Is Why You Dream.

This is 2016 July from No Ryuchi. And then I'm also reading from Barrett's. These are two journals that I found through Neurology Live.

Nostalgic experiences stimulate metabolic activity and blood flow in several regions of the brain.

Interestingly, people who rated higher on the effective neuroscience personality scale, which measures a person's tendency to sadness, were more prone to experience nostalgia.

This correlation does make sense as people who generally experience stronger emotions should experience a range of powerful feelings, whether those emotions are happy or sad.

But nostalgia itself is not linked with depression or any other affective disorder. In fact, one study linked nostalgia to an overall trait of resilience.

We've got a book out called Level Up. Rob Dial from the Mindset Mentor podcast.

Rob's also the author of Level Up. The book is out right now and it guides people to take action, overcome procrastination, and form lasting habits. Rob believes that when you master your mindset, you master your life.

If you don't have this book already, go and order it now. Level Up by Rob Dial.

And I always say in life, you never see the entire path, but you can look in the headlights where it's like if you drive at night, you don't see the entire path to where you're going. But you can see the next 100 feet in front of you. And the first 100 feet was calling my friend and I was like, hey, you have a successful book. What should I do? And then the next 100 feet was calling you up and you're like, yeah, you should do this.

This book is packed with them, and today we're going to extract it all out of Rob.

I have this book, five minutes a day.

I wake up, I write what are three things I want for the day. I think three things I'm grateful for and affirmations at night. Same page. How three things that was amazing in a day and what I learned today.

I read this book years ago by Ian Stevenson called Old Souls.

And so if anyone hasn't read that, I highly recommend it if you're interested in out-of-body experiences, near-death experiences or past life memories.

Tiffany's a New York Times bestselling author for her book, The Last Black Unicorn and a children's book, author of Layla, The Last Black Unicorn. Her latest book is called I Curse You With Joy.

If you read the book you know that it was not always there.

I think I talked about one of them in this book.

There's a great book called The Art Of Saying NO by Damon Zahariadis. I hope I'm saying that name right. But the reason why I'm recommending this book is I promise you that if you were to dive into that book over a weekend, you're actually going to strengthen your skill in saying no.

Benny's most recent project is his first cookbook, Open Wide. You can get it right now. We'll be diving into that as well.

I'm obsessed with all that one of my friends uh the person who I wrote my book with her name is Jess she has like a she's predominantly like a plant based chef and she worked for Martha Stewart for years and and she's incredible and I uh it's funny like my books are always crazy for I eat very healthy unless I'm being like a naughty boy
