Books are so important, thank you Neil. As per Chapter 163 at the end, quoting Steve Jobs, we all owe humanity a great debt, for much of what we are has come from our brothers and sisters. No adds & just love - what a blessing. Love you. Keep it up.
To this day i find your countdown psychology genius, to start at 1000 and work your way down.

Neil, you’ve honed your skills and were on point with the Nader interview. Well done! Looking forward to the next conversation.
I’ve been listening to this show since 2018 and it is still the only podcast I will listen to without wanting to throw up.
I took a break for a year or two thinking I didn’t like podcasts at all, until I gave it another try catching up with the episodes I missed and now I am a tried and true cover to cover member of our “club”.
You can even call in, and I have!! A few times!! Astounding.
I learn so much every episode.
Thanks Neil!!!!
