Philosopher Insights

In this week's edition of the Philosopher Insights Podcast, I share my favorite insights from 'Limitless' by Jim Kwik.  I have been following Jim for quite some time as he is a memory and speed reading expert with a fantastic podcast I have been listening to every week.   

When I heard he had a book coming out, I bought it, read it, and loved it.  In today's episode, I capture some of my favorite insights, but to get the full depth of Jim's teachings, you need to read this book to absorb all the goodies.  

If you are looking for better focus, memory, or how to read and learn faster, you will thoroughly enjoy this book.

As a side note, I took Jim's speed reading course and it was easily one of the best courses I have ever taken. You do have to commit to the practices he suggests, but if you practice daily you can more than triple your reading speed.

I am not an affiliate of Jim's program but wanted to share just because it transformed my reading abilities.

Thanks

In today's Philosopher's Byte, one of my favorite speakers on high performance, Brendon Burchard shares an important message about moving forward with the dream.  

Too many of us are waiting for a better moment, and not realizing that the moment to start is now.  We cannot put off doing what we really want - life is too short to play the waiting game.

I pulled this from Brendon's amazing podcast which you can check out in full at www.brendon.com.

In this week's edition of the Philosopher Insights podcast, I share my favorite insights from one of the best books I have ever read.  I read the entire book the same day I cracked open the cover  - it was so good that I lost myself in the wisdom author Tim Grover delivers in this book.

Here is Michael Jordan's quote on the book's cover:  "Tim Grover was by my side for 15 years, and knows more than anyone about building winners.  This book is essential for those who want to be the best at what they do...and are willing to pay the price to get there."  -  Michael Jordan.

I highlighted almost every page of this book - it's packed with insights and the language Grover uses is compelling and keeps you wanting more.  I only scratched the surface and as I said in the pocast, I highly recommend everyone read this book.  It's extremely intense but it's worth reading.

Enjoy!

In today's Philosopher Byte, I wanted to follow up 'Turning Pro' with Steven Pressfield himself sharing an insight from his latest book 'Put Your Ass Where Your Heart Wants To Be' which I plan to feature on this podcast very soon.

I really love this idea because I know from first-hand experience that this way of thinking works - it really helps you get more done than you think is possible.

Pressfield is one of my favorite authors - he has written great books like Turning Pro which I featured in Episode 35 of this podcast, and many others - The Artist's Journey, Do the Work, and many more.  He is a brilliant writer and I highly recommend looking up any of his books - you won't be disappointed.

n this week's podcast, I wanted to share the incredible wisdom of Steven Pressfield - Turning Pro was the first book I read from him and now I am on a mission to read the rest. He is an amazing writer and I loved the book.

This is from Steven Pressfield's website: Turning Pro – Steven Pressfield

"I wanted to do a follow-up to The War of Art that got into the concepts of addictions and “shadow careers” as substitutes for embracing our authentic personal destinies and that dug more deeply into the differences between the amateur mindset and the professional mindset as a means of confronting and overcoming Resistance. I also wanted to get a little more personal than The War of Art and tell my own story in greater detail." 

This book delivers, it's a very quick read but well worth it.

Enjoy!

In today's edition of the Philosopher Insights Podcast, I share my favorite insights from the beautiful book 'Create the Life You Desire' by Frank DiGenova.

This book takes you on a journey of all the core aspects of creating the masterpiece life, the life that you always dreamed of having.

I wanted to quote the disclaimer he shares from this book, it's worth reading carefully before listening to the episode.

"Due to the spiritual nature of me, your Higher Self, it may be possible that you will be unable to manifest everything that you want.  My divine purpose may prevent you from attaining all your desires.  This is due to reasons which may not be conducive to your awakening here on Earth.  Your life's experience may contain elements that have been mutually decided upon pre-incarnation, which may be affected by and not limited to:  karmic debts, and other contracts and agreements which may be required to be paid in full.

All agreements are not final and are subject to change at any time.  Nothing is guaranteed, however, all circumstances and events that may occur are the results of my deepest love for you.  All that may arise comes from my desire for our Soul to awaken in physical form.

Deepest Love,

Your Soul

I love that and I loved this book

This week I wanted to share a real-life example of what happens when you apply Hal Elrod's Miracle Equation.  In the book, 'The Miracle Equation', which I featured in Ep. 31, Elrod shares numerous examples, but this one came to him after he had published the book and highlights the power of simply having unwavering faith and the willingness to apply extraordinary effort.

In this episode, Hal Elrod reads the letter he received from Miranda Martin who was diagnosed with a hereditary life-long illness. She made the decision to apply the Miracle Equation and it completely changed her life.  

I recall a great quote:  "Faith is like Wi-Fi, it will connect you to what you need."  I hope this story inspires you to have faith in whatever it is you are trying to achieve and follow it up with extraordinary effort so that you may one day experience the power of 'The Miracle Equation.'
