Reviewing & discussing the key points of 'The Psychology Of Money' by Morgan Housel.

I sit down with my good friend Giles Crisp to discuss the last year and how podcasting and books have moulded me in to who I am today. We discuss so much from our 10 years of friendship, from falling out to becoming closer than ever through vulnerability and a joint goal of become better people. We also discuss; politics, moving away from your hometown, returning to your true self in your 20’s, people’s capacity for change, psychedelics, alcohol, meditation, journalling, a LOT of books and how mad it is that I now apparently have ‘fans’.
Thanks so much for listening over the last year! I love you all (as much as you can love people you’ve never met), you're all legends.

A review of the only book Tim Ferris has done a foreword for in recent years. The Almanack Of Naval Ravikant is a brilliant guide on how to live well. Wealth, happiness, habits, judgement, meditation and so much more is covered in the book. I would recommend everyone listen to Naval on Joe Rogans podcast as well as reading the book.
