Is This the Most Dangerous Book You’ll Ever Read?
Is there a more “powerful” book than “The 48 Laws of Power”? Pun 100% intended :-) This book is raw, truthful, and real in its description of humanity and how we interact with each other. While the stories can be intense and despicable, the truths gained from each of them can be applied to our own lives in never thought of ways. While we had originally planned to go through half the laws in two s

What If Everything You Learned About Money Is Wrong?
While some think that this book is about money, it’s actually about thinking differently. So many of us pursue riches under the assumption that working hard and getting a good job is the quickest path to wealth when in reality there’s a way to think rich that is taught in this book. Join in on this intriguing conversation as we break down the truths we were taught by many when the truth is only un

What If You Stopped Caring What People Think?
Sometimes there’s one book that just completely hits you in a way you never expected. Meditations was that book for us. After reading through it multiple times, the lessons we’ve gained have been extremely enlightening. Will it become a yearly ritual for us to pick up this 2,000 year old book?

You Wake Up Alone in Space… Now What?

The episode highlights themes of friendship, sacrifice and curiosity as the hosts reflect on Rocky and Dr. Grace’s bond, story surprises, and why this book struck them em

You Can’t Control Other People—So Stop Trying
Can all of stoicism be boiled down to two words? “Let them”? How does “Let me” incorporate into that as well? While quite different than Ryan Holiday in style and prose, Mel presents a different package to stillness, satisfaction, and enough that definitely works for some. Whether or not we gained inspiration from the book is at the core of our discussion in this episode.

Stop. Slow Down. Think.
Stillness = Satisfaction and Contentment. How do we become the most content we can possibly be in this life?

What If Your Biggest Problem Is Actually Your Opportunity?
As this book is broken up into its three pillars—perception, action, and will—we share personal stories about career setbacks, family, and finding meaning.
Through examples from history and our own lives, we explore how reframing problems, taking decisive action, and building daily habits of character turn obstacles into opportunities. This can be done with a focus on priorities, mortality, and th
