Hey everyone, welcome to the Mind Valley Podcast.

Our guest today is someone I am so excited to have in the podcast because I could really really really use

this advice right now here's what's going on as you know I'm an author and my last book

The Code of the Extraordinary Mind just hit something like 25

languages and last year was the number one book globally on Amazon. So I'm

super proud of that. I'm super grateful to you guys for helping make that book the

success it is, but here's the downside. I now have to write

a book every two years. And my next book, I am ridiculously behind. And so I am in a bit of a pickle right now. I'm going through

some stress trying to get this next book together in time for my manuscript to get to Penguin, my publisher and if you happen to

penguin, you could give me even a little bit of an extension

of course that'll be appreciated but there is an art to writing a book and

when you understand this art, getting a book out no longer

becomes this monumental task. It becomes significantly easier. And Tucker Max, who's our next guest, is one of the champions of this art.

Tucker has some ridiculously amazing accomplishments.

Firstly, he has written three New York time bestsellers

which have sold over 3 million copies worldwide, including a book call.

I hope they serve beer in hell.

Now that itself isn't the biggest thing I want to draw your attention to.

Tucker is the third writer, only the third writer after Malcolm Gladwell and Michael Lewis to ever have had three books on the New York Times
