Welcome back to the podcast. We're rolling along. This is episode 12.

One quick note. I have a new book coming out later this fall.

It comes out November 7th. It's called Same As Ever, a guide to what never changes,

and it's about the behaviors that never change over time.

So what were people doing 500 years ago that they'll be doing 500 years from now?

What never changes?

I got this idea just based off of the belief that we spend too much time trying in vain to

predict what's going to change.

What's the next new technology?

What's the next new industry?

We're always trying to figure out what's going to change.

And we don't spend enough time focused on what never changes

What do we know with certainty is going to be part of our future? That's what this book is about. It's broken up into a bunch of short stories just like Psychology of Money

was. You can pre-order it now. I'll leave a link in the show notes, but I'm sure

you are very good at searching on Amazon as well. Hope you enjoy it when it comes out

later this year. And speaking of a bunch of short stories, that's what today's

episode is about. I heard this quote once, I forget where, but I thought it was so good, it

was that people don't remember books, they remember sentences. And I think that is so

true, even for an amazing book that changed your life, the book that you recommend more than anything else.

Maybe that book is 300 pages and 100,000 words.

And what you actually remember from it is a couple sentences or a few short stories that you could summarize very quickly.

What you actually take away from a book that you love is a fraction of 1% of what was actually written there.
