@RobertGreene The Art of Seduction is my favorite; however, I think WAR is probably your most significant.

What is your favorite book of mine? ⬇️

One year ago, a violent attack on our Capitol made it clear just how fragile the American experiment in democracy really is. Here’s my statement on what the anniversary means, and what we need to do today.

@RobertGreene Happy Halloween, Robert.

Happy Halloween to everyone!

@austinkleon We always love The Legend of Sleepy Hollow (1949).

Need a fun spooky season movie/TV special to watch with our boys, 9 & 6 for pizza night tonight! Recent hits: - IT’S THE GREAT PUMPKIN, CHARLIE BROWN - THE PRINCESS BRIDE - WALLACE & GROMIT: CURSE OF THE WERE-RABBIT - KIKI’S DELIVERY SERVICE Help us keep things rolling!

@StephenAmell Oh.

@theRealKiyosaki Please stick to financial education. Conspiracy theories don't suit you.

President Biden is an American tragedy. I doubt he will be President much longer, paving the way for Kamala, the real plan all along. Will the collapse of Biden, collapse in Kabul, lead to the collapse of the dollar? Yes, the coming American tragedy. Buy gold, silver, Bit coin

@theRealKiyosaki It saddens and disturbs me deeply to read this post. Reminds me of 2015 Trump called McCain "loser" for being "captured" and tortured in Viet Nam. I pray for financial gurus who try to talk politics. I pray for readers who blindly agree with them. Kiyosaki is a troll.

It saddens and disturbs me deeply to witness the retreat from Afghanistan. Reminds me of 1975 retreat from Viet Nam. I pray for the troops who lost their lives or their limbs. I pray for the Afghanis who will be killed or punished supporting America. Biden is a pussy.

@MatthewEMay I hope so! In pursuit of elegance changed my whole intellectual life.

@austinkleon Just read this. I'm fascinated with analogy between writing and gardening. You can decide if your darlings are simply dead flowers or roots. And if you're unsure, just separate and replant them anyway and see what happens.

You don’t have to kill your darlings, you can simply relocate them: austinkleon.com/2021/06/22/rel…

@RobertGreene You made it on Chris Bosh's most admired writers list. nytimes.com/2021/05/21/boo…

@ramit Case studies, to be honest. I like practical tips, strategies, principles, etc., and examples that illustrate how to use them, but I do not care for stories about people's lives using the ideas or principles.

Interesting conversation I had with a book club: "What parts of a book do you always skip?" E.g., in biographies, I skip the chapter about their childhood. I just don't care! One of the other members disagreed. That's his favorite part What parts of books do you skip?

@RyanHoliday Yeah I was thinking mortality was not that important. 🤪

"Nothing in life is as important as you think it is when you are thinking about it." - Daniel Kahneman

@RobertGreene Looks like Billy Joel's daughter loves to snuggle up to a good read during quarantine. yahoo.com/lifestyle/alex…

@chrisguillebeau I agree completely. You would probably mix in something with non-conformity - e.g. reaching FI in weird, unconventional ways. And likely it'd include side hustles, $100 start ups, and quests.

@MarkBlasini yes … I’m all about FI but I could skip the RE part. And also the cult of frugality

If you read my blog or my books, what would you like me to write about next?

@JohnButman I was saddened to hear of John's passing last year. I've only just found out recently. John, you were an inspiration to me. Your book Breaking Out has changed my thinking and life in incredibly deep ways. You'll be missed.

@ramit We could go the Robert Kiyosaki route: go to school; get good grades; get a good job that offers good benefits; invest in your 401k; spend below your means; save for a rainy day; live debt-free.

What are some MIDDLE CLASS money beliefs? Examples: * Success is determined by your house & car * Kids should go to college * 2 vacations / year is a given What would you add?

@RobertGreene Both literally and figuratively.

Keep your hands clean.

@austinkleon Love this. Brahms and Perlman - two Romantic geniuses.

@chrisguillebeau Blockchain? Apparently it can cure cancer too.

I would hate to find out the amount of time in my life I’ve spent completing CAPTCHAs. Surely there is a better way??
