Welcome to Feedback Friday. I'm your host, Jordan Harbinger. Today I'm here with my Feedback Friday producer, my Amigo and Advisory, Gabriel Mizrahi.

On the Jordan Harbinger Show we decode the stories, secrets and skills of the world's most fascinating people and turn their wisdom into practical advice that you can use to impact your own life and those around you.

So we want to help you see the matrix when it comes to how amazing people think and behave.

And our mission is to help you become a better informed, more critical thinker so you can get a much deeper understanding of how the world works and make sense of what's really happening even inside your own brain.

If you're new to the show, on Fridays we give advice to you. We answer listener questions. The rest of the week we have long form interviews and conversations with a variety of really amazing people from spies to CEOs, athletes, authors, thinkers and performers.

If you're joining us for the first time or you're looking for a handy way to tell your friends about the show, we now have episode starter packs.

These are collections of your favorite episodes organized by popular topic that'll help new listeners get a taste of everything we do here on the show just visit Jordan Harbinger dot com slash start to get started this week.

We had Tristan Harris, maybe you saw the social dilemma on Netflix really, really interesting documentary about how social media is essentially creating separate realities for everyone based on what they believe and what they click on and what they watch and how it is just wrecking society and our kids.

Very uplifting topic, but seriously the guy is brilliant. So have a listen to that. We also had Greg McEwan if you've read essentialism or even if you have in his new work is called effortless he's just a very productivity is not quite the right word for it.

You know, I guess you would put it in that camp, but really it's about focusing on the right things if you're a fan of clarity in your thinking that's a really good episode as well.

Please make sure you've had a listen to everything we created for you here this week and Gabe also came across an interesting article this week about Frank Abignail Jr.

So you know, episode one of this show world renowned count artist, they made a movie about his life catch me if you can.

So there's now some speculation that maybe his whole story about being a con man who played a pilot or who pretended to be a pilot a doctor and a lawyer.

Maybe that's actually the con that he pulled maybe that's all actually just BS and there's a book about it by a journalist called the greatest hoax on earth catching truth while we can and basically his conclusion was this Abignail might have done some of the stuff they said he did.

But mostly it's embellished or exaggerated and a lot of it's fabricated and his parole officer was like, hey, present yourself as this transformed man.

And then he came up with a story about how he used to do all these amazing things and now he wants to help the FBI and the police catch criminals and this is an investigative journalist not some muckerector you know on Twitter.

So it's really interesting because we don't know what's true and what's not or that Abignail was lying about everything I just wanted to share it because obviously I never want to participate in any kind of misinformation or self mythologizing and I know that we value independent thought critical thinking and they said it best in the article the author of this book.

That's going after Abignail. He said many people when they step back from the story and really take a breath and really think it through.

Is it possible that all this happened according to the narrative and it's just not it's just not plausible. This is what he said and he said it's so reflective thinking is something I think that is of extreme value to society right now.

And I agree with that and I think that it is very interesting that this man who supposedly conned all these folks really is just conning us allegedly.
