The Diary Of A CEO with Steven Bartlett

two great books here in front of me The Power of When discover your chronotype and the best time to eat lunch ask for a raise have sex write a novel take your meds and more

the book called The Seven Basic Plots. And it begins when Steve Jobs, Steve Jobs' wife was friends with somebody from Microsoft... and then the true origin story of the iPhone.

Jonathan, you've just written this book, which is now out, called The Amazing Generation. It has beautiful illustrations, it's for ages eight to 13, and the Amazon reviews are full of parents saying their kids love it.

You've written this book, The Art of Spending.

Another title for the book could have been the psychology of spending money, because that's what this is.

The book is called The Art of Spending Money but much of the through line throughout the book is really about happiness.

And the reason why I wrote that book and how that book applies is I took a lot of the lessons that I teach every one of my clients and put them in that book because I'm sitting there preparing them for crossexamination and realizing, oh, wait, they are deathly afraid of the conflict that they're in.

We took a survey poll within my membership. And it was already - I think it was like 93% of people with - even in the first three chapters of my book, it had already significantly impacted them in their job, their family, and exactly what they were reading the book for.

My first book, which you have sitting over here, was a book called Smart Women Finish Rich.

The other book that you wrote, which sold incredibly, incredibly well, is this book about Smart Couples Finish Rich.

he's not or at least when he wrote it he wasn't an AI researcher he's now becoming one but he has talked to many of the people involved in these questions and tries to give an objective view so I think it's a pretty good book

Will Packer, he was like, I got this book that I want to make a movie. It's called Think Like a Man. Steve Harvey wrote it.

I was listening to, I think it's his name is Morgan Howsel the author who talks about psychology of money and he kind of talked about it the Ferrari syndrome and he basically describes that everyone who aspires to buy a Ferrari thinks of themselves and say oh well one day when I'm in this Ferrari everyone's going to look at this Ferrari and they're going to be amazed with me

look at 50 Shays of Grey that got middle-aged women wanting sex, women who hadn't wanted sex for 20 years

It was around the time when 50 Shays came out... she said, I read the book

and suddenly I was back into this erotic sex with my husband

let me get his job right, his name right. I think it's Matt Johnson who's just written a book called Brands That Mean Business. And his wonderful line is having a great brand means you get to play the game of capitalism in easy mode.

And from this I've created a brand new book called The Diary of a CEO: The 33 Laws for Business and Life.

If you want to build something great or become great yourself, please, please, please read these 33 Laws.

If you like this podcast, this book is for you.

The book is now available and preorders can win a gold signed version, with only 33 copies available.

I haven't read the book, but I loved the title of the book, The Body Holds the Score.

He wrote a book called The Humane Interface about how technology could be humane and could be sensitive to human needs and human vulnerabilities.

I was reading that book, The Courage to Be Disliked, over Christmas, and it kind of changed my view on this quite profoundly in an important way because it helped me to understand that what happens to us doesn't create who we are; we use what happened to us and we apply meaning to it, which then determines the behavior we have.

It means that many of the beliefs I have about myself, who I say I am, my identity, and therefore the ways that I behave every day, whether they're productive or unproductive, are actually just choices I've made to apply meaning to the past.

I was inspired also by people who preceded me when I did the launch for The 4-Hour Chef in 2012 with going on Joe Rogan and Marc Maron and Nerdist and so on. Like those guys also showed me that something interesting was afoot.

Unbreakable, The Fertility Formula, the new menopause. I believe you've got a new book on the way. The new perimenopause.

And this all sort of dovetails Into This new book That you've written I call it a new book But it's really a revision Of a Very successful book That I think the first copy Was published in 1998 Called Just Visiting the Planet Further Scientific Adventures Of Merlin From Amnesia

Your book is exactly that. I highly recommend everybody goes and checks it out. It's out on, I think it's the 21st of October.

Highly recommend. It's called Just Visiting This Planet.

There's a very good book written by a gerontologist named Carl Pillemer. He wrote a book called 30 Lessons for Living where he interviewed a bunch of elderly Americans and none of them wished they'd made more money.
