Dan Koe's work will change your life forever.

His writing takes 100s of hours to read. I've gone through it so you don't have to.

12 ideas. 12 opportunities to upgrade your mind. Many people dismissed Dan Koe as a fitness bro.

They're f*cking morons.

Dan's unique because he found a way to fuse philosophy, spirituality, and business together in a new way.

I asked 134,000 people what the best book was that they read in 2024.

These 12 showed up the most (so they'll be great reading to start 2025): 🧵 1. The Comfort Crisis by Michael Easter

I'm 38. If you're In your 20's or 30's, read this:

1. When you turn 35 you'll see the difference between those who took risks and those who didn't.

2. Having kids isn't the end of freedom, it's the beginning. It'll give you meaning that'll fuel your greatness. 3. Chasing obsession is the fastest way to become a high performer.

4. Raise your standards so high people think you're a psychopath. Screw being average.

I'm 38.

When I was 28 I obsessed over politics, went woke (then broke in 2011) & worshipped DEI propaganda.

Then I discovered Ronald Reagan, and he changed my life forever.

13 lessons from the world's most controversial & outspoken US president: Ronald Reagan was a different type of president

• He started out as a Hollywood actor
• He used jelly beans to help him stop smoking
• Someone tried to assassinate him in 1981
• Failed to become president in 1976 - won in 1980

Before you read this, remember: nobody gives a f*ck what political party you vote for.

If I had to start from $0 and make $1M online again at 38, here’s what I’d do: I'd stop trying to be Elon Musk and just build a small business making $1M-$2M a year.

You want freedom, not fame.

This man destroyed wokeism:

Morgan Freeman.

He's a Hollywood actor, became a pilot at 70, and got his first acting role at age 52.

He's loves to rip into mainstream media

Here is Morgan's updated philosophy: 1. “I don’t want a Black History Month. Black history is American history.

How are we going to get rid of racism? Stop talking about it!”

Racism is made worse because of wokeism, not better. Pretending to care & virtue signaling fools f*cking no one.

I'm 38.

When I was 28 I believed in social security, UBI, socialist ideas, minimum wage & heavily taxing the rich

Then I discovered Walter E. Williams, and he changed my life forever.

16 lessons from the world's most controversial & outspoken economist: Walter E. Williams pissed off a lot of people.

He famously inspired Thomas Sowell's ideas.

Walter challenged:

• The need for minimum wage
• Too much focus on race
• The existence of government

“I probably became a libertarian through exposure to tough-minded professors who encouraged me to think with my brain instead of my heart.” – Walter

This is how you get your sh*t together and become unstoppable in 2025:

1. Stop thinking obesity is normal, and lose weight if you need to. 2. Quit your boring 9-5 job and do work that doesn't feel like work.

3. Go to a dark place. Feel like a loser. Break up with them. Get a divorce. File for bankruptcy. Then make a comeback no one expects.

If you can spare me 5 minutes, you'll get 10 years of your life back if you read this: 1. You can reject the conventional path and tell the gatekeepers to f*ck off.

The man who healed millions of minds:

Carl Jung.

Studying his philosophy will make you immune to mental health issues.

These are his 10 laws for having a powerful mind: 1. "Thinking is difficult, that’s why most people judge."

Most people don't think. They just react.

Judging others is the lowest form of intelligence.

Ernest Hemingway was a real son of a b*tch.

He p*ssed off intellectuals when he said:

"Happiness in intelligent people is the rarest thing I know.”

Here are 16 bizarre things I learned from him: Hemingway led one hell of a life.

• 1953 Pulitzer for “The Old Man and the Sea"
• Two plane crashes (he survived both)
• He was a badass boxer
• He had a weird obsession with bullfighting
• Got into a d*ck measuring contest with F. Scott Fitzgerald

He took his own life in 1961.

When I was 28 I worshipped identity politics, went woke & believed in the fantasy of equality.

Then I discovered Albert Camus, and he changed my life forever.

11 lessons from France's most controversial & unknown philosopher: Albert Camus won a Nobel Prize

He pissed people off by not supporting Algeria's independence from France. His decision didn't age well. Algeria won.

He wrote 2 novels that changed history & made him famous, then was murdered at 46 in a car crash caused by soviet spies.

I became a millionaire at age 34.

I could have become a millionaire by age 24 if I had started these 9 habits earlier: 1. Don’t work a cubicle job forever

Level 1 = Job

Level 2 = freelancing, consulting, or one-person business

Level 3 = starting a business

Level 4 = running a business with lots of employees

Staying at level 1 is living your whole life in daycare.

Action: build an online business.

Charles Bukowski shocked the world in 1987.

He finally became famous for writing about modern American life that included extreme violence & s*x acts.

I spent the last 5 years digesting it all...

And these are the 14 things I can't stop thinking about: "People are strange: they are constantly angered by trivial things,

But on a major matter like totally wasting their lives, they hardly seem to notice.”

Politics is the most trivial of all. It solves nothing for the average person.

But they pray it will like the president is Jesus.

Mind your own business & tell politicians to f*ck off

JK Molina's work will change how you make money forever.

His writing takes 100s of hours to read. I've gone through it so you don't have to.

12 ideas. 12 opportunities to get wealthier. Some people dismiss JK as a make money online guru with a 6-pack.

They're f*cking morons.

He grew up in Guatemala (3rd world country) & built an online business there.

He also co-foundered Tweethunter & sold it for 7-figures.

I used to be depressed, broke, and work in a call center.

Now I work a relaxed work day in a flow state, chase my obsession, write online and make $1M+ a year.

12 habits that transformed my life: Flow states

9-5 work is boring. It lacks creativity so it feels like work.

When you choose work that feels effortless & escape the hell of the corporate world, you look forward to work.

Deep work done in a flow state makes 8 hours of work feel like 1.

If you can't get in flow, quit your current work.

I retired from my 9-5 cubicle job forever at 34.

• No savings/trust fund
• No selling drugs
• No mentors

Here are the basic ideas I used to retire early: 1. "Retirement is one of the biggest lies in society.

Sitting around with no goals or something to work on will age and kill you faster than cancer." – Alex Becker

You'll also die of boredom. Instead, chase an obsession.

It took me 10 years to realize, and I will tell you in 2 minutes.

1. A 9-5 job is blocking you from reaching your potential. 2. Boycotting and activism are for losers. Change the world through your example.

This man destroyed wokeism:

Balaji Srinivasan.

He was the CTO of Coinbase, partner at a16z, friend of Naval & is worth $150M+

He's been on fire lately on X.

Here is Balaji's updated philosophy: The world is sick of division caused by wokeism.

There's one race & it's human.

I'm 38.

When I was 32 I worked in banking, went woke (then broke) & suffered anxiety

Then I discovered Balaji Srinivasan
on X & made several million dollars by 38

14 of his insights that transformed my life (and will do the same for you): 1. "Many founders aren’t hiring from Harvard. They’re hiring from Tw!tter."

• Resumes are dead.

• Offering a bunch of biased references is dead.

• Asking for permission to climb the corporate ladder is dead.

Join the permissionless economy online.

5 years ago I quit:

• TV
• News
• Politics
• Facebook
• My corporate 9-5 job

I did the opposite of what society told me to do & focused on more important things:

• Gym
• Family
• Writing
• Freedom
• Free time
• Obsession
• Wealth generation
• Starting an online business

Here are the results: 1. Stopped getting programmed by mainstream media

The traditional media wants to dived us to become relevant again.

But all their misinformation has meant their trust is at an all-time low.

They hate social media apps like X because it's replaced them. I used X to build a movement.

Turn off the news
