The Tai Lopez Show

Your study of heroes has the potential to unlock EVERYTHING you want! In our time, and really because of our democratic ideals, we love to watch those "above us" come crashing down. Nothing and no one is held in high regard. But this kind of thinking is a trap! Here's my question for you:1. What icons need to be changed in your life?2. How much more shameless do you need to be in your interests for those men and women who have changed the world in the past and who are changing the world right now?Learn more about your ad choices.

Today I was reading the book, "The One Thing" by Gary Keller. It's all about getting things done. Reading this reminded me about one of my habits that massively boosts my productivity. Stop making lists. Lists create cognitive loading. Your brain is like an attic - it has only so much room before it gets filled. Lists use up too much space and limit deep thinking.Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoicesSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Ask yourself: What is the worst attitude that you can have? The attitude that will sabotage basically every plan, every hope, and every dream that you have?I talk about this in step #67 in the 67 steps, watch it herehttps://www.tailopez.com/product.php?id=FS-0998&source=pc&aff=ben&ad=640034Today's book of the day is "Devil at My Heels: A Heroic Olympian's Astonishing Story of Survival as a Japanese POW in World War II" by Louis Zamperini. I would say it's probably being a victim. That's where we can learn a lot from Louis Zamperini.  Louis is a man's man.  After representing the United States at the Olympics, he fought in World War II where he became a POW, survived the Japanese shooting at him, fought off a Great White Shark for 2 days and lost 100 lbs surviving in the middle of the Pacific Ocean for 47 days with no water.  In fact I'm super sad he recently died at 97 about a week after we set up an interview with him here in L.A. I really missed out on a legend. Pick your friends wisely, become

One of the keys to building momentum on your path to wealth is to guard your time carefully. As Peter Drucker says in his book, the Effective Executive, 'Know Thy Time."

In today's book of the day, I'm going to talk about one of my all time favorite books "All Quiet on Western Front" by Erich Maria Remarque. Remarque remarks, "To 'forget' is the secret of eternal youth. One grows old only through memory. There is much too little forgetting" This is coming from a guy who survived the first world war, where a million men would die in a single battle, within a single week. Men would literally get their faces blown off and climb out of the trenches knowing that two thirds of them would die from enemy gunshots.  Growing up with certain Judeo-Christian influences, I remember a quote along the lines of "You must become like a little child before you can enter the kingdom". So...practical takeaways: be like Warren Buffet and deeply ponder. Have your time when you mourn and you weep. But then learn to move on. Learn the lesson, but then forget it so you can remain eternally young. Leave a comment here. Or reach out on @Tailopez if you're on Twitter. Ask yourself "What is a memory that

You have probably heard that you have to rely on yourself and not others. Or that you should have enough inner power to be strong on your own. In today's Book-Of-The-Day I discuss a book that debunks this mentality and a lot of the group think that you and I learned growing up.  "The Power of Others: Peer Pressure, Groupthink, and How the People Around Us Shape Everything We Do" by Michael Bond shares the newest research that we will be happiest when we have a lot of friends. But the key is that they have to be an exact type of friend to really help you find the good life. In 2008, 2 social scientists, Christakis & Fowler found that, "... most people will not be surprised that people with more friends are happier, but what really matters is whether those friends are happy." The book also explains, "Four decades of research into how people decide to do what they do has shown that we are highly susceptible to the winds of social influence - indeed it is impossible to escape them, short of living in hermitic

Hey I just released the 67 steps, check it out here: https://www.tailopez.com/product.php?id=FS-0998&source=podcast&sid=danieltosh My brain has been in a whirlwind. Many books, many great thinkers whispering in my thoughts...So instead of focusing on one specific book today I think I'll share 4 or 5 great concepts on living the "Good Life" I have run across recently. They are in no specific order but they will show you the value of diversifying your learning base:1. "(While Leonardo DA Vinci was painting the Last Supper) The prior complained of Leonardo's apparent sloth, and wondered why he would sometimes sit before the walls for hours without painting a stroke. Leonardo has no trouble explaining to the Duke that an artists most important work lies in conception rather than in execution, and 'men of genius do most when they work least'." -- Will Durant "The Renaissance"I talk about this a lot in my 67 steps program (the new version will be out later this week). Most humans pride themselves on their '

Humans are aggressive. As you move through life, your ability to navigate the minefield of conflict must be one of your greatest skills. Life is a competition, and those who adapt to its challenges are those who survive.As Will Durant says in "The Lessons Of History", "The first biological lesson of history is that life is competition. Competition is not only the life of trade, it is the trade of life—peaceful when food abounds, violent when the mouths outrun the food. Animals eat one another without qualm; civilized men consume one another by due process of law." I am sure you have felt aggression from others when the 'mouths' have outrun the supply. You have felt betrayal from a close friend or family member. But you made it through. If there is one thing us humans know how to do, it's to cope. Adapt. Survive. If you are reading this you have survived something. Freud says in "Civilization and Its Discontents", "The life imposed on us is too hard for us to bear: it brings too much pain, too many disappointm

Allan Nation, one of my first mentors says, "One thing I have learned is that most people only take advice that agrees with what they have already decided to do."And that in a nutshell is the root of half of all our life's regrets.So let's continue yesterday's conversation about how to avoid making big mistakes.In today's book-of-the-day,"Influence", Cialdini talks about the certainty bias. Cialdini says, "There is no question about it. The drive to be (and look) consistent constitutes a highly potent weapon of social influence, often causing us to act in ways that are clearly contrary to our own best interests.”>>Click here to read yesterday's article to catch upHe is talking about our tendency to not change our mind.Mental "inertia..." Confusing Me With Facts...Like the saying goes, "Don't bother me with the facts, I've already made up my mind."Yesterday you read about how to make war with a multitude of counselors and assemble your cabinet of advisors.That is the start. The next issue is this 'bug' in our

What you really want to do is never make any big mistakes.Little experimental tests that fail? Yes, those can actually be helpful.But avoid catastrophic mistakes...Like the billionaire Warren Buffett says, "An investor needs to do very few things right as long as he or she avoids big mistakes."That is true about all areas of the good life: health, wealth, love, and happiness. Getting The Lost Years BackImagine if you could have back the years you wasted on a bad marriage or dating the wrong person. Or recover the years of your life you lost to being overweight and unhealthy. Or get back the money you lost on bad investments or the pursuit of the wrong career.Or the happiness lost spending time around people who ended up betraying you in the end.The greatest wish of every human is to be able to have their wasted years back.But time moves forward. I just finished "Theory of Everything" by the great Stephen Hawking.He says he was wrong.He used to think that at the end of the universe, about ten thousand million
