OPTIMIZE with Brian Johnson | More Wisdom in Less Time

David Perlmutter is one of my favorite nutrition-physicians. We have Notes on a bunch of his books including Grain Brain, Brain Maker, and Power Up Your Brain.

Today we’ll step back a bit and put in an AM Intention practice to go with that PM Reflection practice.

In our last couple +1s, we retraced my steps through the Optimize Stoic library of wisdom—going from Musonius Rufus’s Lectures and Sayings to Massimo Pigliucci imaginary dialogues with Epictetus’s in How to Be a Stoic.

After reading William B. Irvine’s The Stoic Challenge and Musonius Rufus’s Lectures and Sayings, I decided to hang out with another Roman Stoic—this one of the modern variety: Massimo Pigliucci.

In our last +1, we got some great marriage advice from the Roman Socrates, Musonius Rufus.

As we discussed not too long ago, I recently had an epic party with some Stoics.

In our last +1, we had fun chatting about the diploma we give to our Optimize Coaches. It so perfectly captures the underlying purpose of all of our work together that I’d like to share it again.

As you may have noticed (ahem and hah!), I’m super fired up about the launch of our 2020 Optimize Mastery Series and Optimize Coach certification programs.

Emerson and I recently got into puzzles. We started with a 100-piece, little-kids’ puzzle of The World. Then we went to a little-older-kids’ 100-piece puzzle featuring… Dinosaurs. From there we rocked a 200-piece puzzle featuring Blackbeard’s Battle. (As you might’ve guessed, that one had a pirate ship battling another ship at sea. Arrrr!)

In our last +11 (that got long didn’t it?!), we talked about my love of the word forge and I invited you to join our Optimize Soul Force Forge.
