What would you call a man who spent his teenage years in a mobile home park, lived with the Amish for 2.5 years as an experiment, was a professional tango dancer, dated a Brazilian model, was a self-made millionaire in his 20s, has authored several books and today attends Warren Buffet’s annual Berkshire meeting? You’d call him Tai Lopez.
An aspiring Renaissance Man, Tai has excelled at a variety of endeavors and has learned as much as possible along the way. In this episode we talk about a host of topics including how to earn and deserve what you really want in life, why the 4 Hour Work Week is a myth that won’t make you happy, why you should go straight to the top when seeking counsel and why the more you learn, the more you’ll earn…and loads of other valuable content.
More About This Show
Tai is clearly a man with a passion and zest for living. He has what most of us would consider the “good life”: he’s healthy, wealthy and dates beautiful women. And he’s learned what it takes to earn all of those things: he says you have to deserve it and you have to work for it…but it is yours for the taking when you do.
He believes books like Tim Ferriss’ “Four Hour Work Week” give us the mythical notion that we only have to work four hours a week and we’ll make $10k a month in passive income. Once we do that, we can go out and do the things we love to do, like learn the art of the tango in Argentina. Tai disagrees, he doesn’t believe financial success happens by only working four hours a week, nor can we find real happiness that way.
He believes there are three types of happiness: the hedonic life or a life built around the pursuit of pleasure (which is the category most people pursue after reading “The Four Hour Work Week”), the authentic life and the meaningful life. It’s in the last one that we find the most joy and the most fulfillment; we reach this state by aligning our work and our love. So loving what we do is key.
Another contributing factor to our happiness is experimenting. To that end, he spent 2.5 years living in an Amish community as an experiment. He wondered what it would be like to live without a material focus and he knew living with the Amish would be the ideal setting to conduct his experiment.
The finer details of this show include:
-Associative Cognitive Bias: what is it and how does it work?
-Why he loves Ray Croc of McDonald’s story.
-How fear impacts our brain and how to annihilate it.
-The hereretical factors that influence women’s attraction.
-What is selective proceptivity and why should you care?
-And so much more!
