Kingkiller trilogy

Patrick Rothfuss

If anybody needs a new fantasy series, go and check out the first two books. They're awesome.

The War of Art

Stephen Pressfield

This Is Your Brain on Birth Control

Dr. Sarah Hill

No guy really in their right mind should be interested in that.

Episode summary

I hit 800k Subscribers on YouTube!! To celebrate, I asked for questions from YouTube, Twitter, Locals and Instagram, so here's another 90 minutes of me trying to answer as many as possible. As always there's some great questions in here about my experience on Steven Bartlett's Diary Of A Ceo, whether I think Alex Hormozi is the new Naval Ravikant and why there's no male body positivity movement. Expect to learn whether I understand females more or less after all the things I've read, my reflections after dealing with depression throughout my 20's, what my attachment style is, how to keep your ego small, if it's harder to find a good partner than in our parents' generation, if I'm grateful for growing up working class, why I'm in love with Crocs and much more...
