The Body and The Beast

Ep133 - LIFE CHANGING BOOKS


Listen Later

In this episode, Jay and Dan take a delightful detour from their usual business and personal development banter. Instead of talking tactics, they dive into the stories, books, and films that have genuinely changed their lives.

If you're looking for a fresh dose of inspiration (and a few laughs), this one's for you.

  • Dan's Pick: Aliens – A sci-fi classic with pulse rifles, space Marines, and a badass survivor. Sigourney Weaver's resilience and grit left a lasting impression on Dan’s life and even… his dating preferences?
  • Jay's Pick: Good Will Hunting – A masterclass in talent, self-sabotage, and the power of mentorship. Also, the only film he had on his iPad for years (not mad about it).


And The Books...


  1. Key Person of Influence by Daniel Priestley

    Sparked Dan’s entrepreneurial journey. A practical guide to becoming a known and trusted figure in your niche.

  2. What to Do When It’s Your Turn (and It’s Always Your Turn) by Seth Godin

    A flight read that changed everything. This book gave Dan the mindset shift to own his gifts and go big. Beautifully designed and brutally motivating.

  3. The Ultimate Sales Machine by Chet Holmes

    Tactical, timeless, and totally transformative for anyone wanting to master sales and business development. Bonus: Learn about the Hit List 100 strategy.

  1. Oversubscribed by Daniel Priestley

    This book flipped Jay’s marketing mindset—stop chasing people and start having them queue for you. Led to his iconic "Grenade foit Eight" challenge.

  2. Psycho-Cybernetics by Dr. Maxwell Maltz

    A game-changer on self-image, confidence, and inner transformation. Jay’s go-to recommendation for anyone dealing with self-doubt.

  3. The Shrink and The Sage by Julian Baggini & Antonia Macaro

    A unique read where a psychologist and philosopher answer the same life questions. Thought-provoking, stoic, and criminally underrated.
