This episode, it's been a while but it's the book of the week and we're going to talk through about one of my favorite books and this one's going to be a relatively short one, where I'm just going to talk through one of my favorite books called Love Yourself Like Your Life Depends On it. And this is written by Kamal Ravikant, who is a brilliant writer but also a brilliant human being and a venture capitalist in real life. And I want to just start out by saying that this is a very quick and easy read so I didn't want to spend you know more time explaining why you should read the book than it would take you to actually read it yourself. But I want to just share a few words about why it's important to me and why I think it should be important to you. So first of all, I'm going to read the back cover to you because I want to give you a sense of where this book is coming from and even though this may not feel entrepreneurial, you know a lot of the folks out there that I interface with, we're in the business world, we're entrepreneurs, whatever. But remember that Awesomers are creatives of all kinds and so it doesn't matter if you're an artist or you're making a company or any variation you know. There's billions of billions of variations of being Awesomers so it doesn't matter where you're coming from. I still think it's an important thing in terms of maintaining a level of happiness and also remembering that we're also susceptible to the I don't know, the doldrums and even depression. And I think entrepreneurs are particularly susceptible to depression when momentum goes against us and so this book as simple as it may sound, to love yourself, that's the theme - spoiler alert, it is in fact called Love Yourself Like Your Life Depends On It but that theme is something that is not often discussed. And so this is a really important point that I hope you guys take home.
