Welcome to the show, I'm Jordan Harbinger.

As always, I'm here with producer Jason DeFilippo.

On the Jordan Harbinger show, we decode the stories, secrets and skills of the world's

most brilliant people, and turn their wisdom into practical advice that you can use to

impact your own life and those around you.

I want to help you see the Matrix when it comes to how these amazing people think and

behave, and we want you to become a better thinker.

If you're new to the show, we've got episodes with spies and CEOs, athletes and authors,

thinkers and performers, as well as toolboxes for skills like negotiation, body language,

persuasion and more.

So if you're smart and you like to learn and improve, you'll be right at home here with

us.

Today, one from the vault with my friend Isaac Lidsky, author of Eyes Wide Open.

He's the only blind person to serve as a law clerk for the US Supreme Court.

He was a child actor unsaved by the bell, among other things.

We'll discuss how going blind in his 20s was actually one of the best things that ever

happened to him, and how his personal vision grew even sharper even as his eyesight faded.

We'll also discover how our brains construct our reality based on our own mental models,

some of which we can actually control, and we'll learn how to reframe events and luck

that seem negative to work to our advantage.

If you want to know how I managed to book all the guests for the show, it's always about

networking.
