and you know, some of the other greats, of course, Mark Manson did a marvelous job with, you know, subtle art and, um, you know, atomic habits and, you know, obviously James Clear and Tim Ferriss and all those guys, but, um, probably those are my top threes.

And, um, Scott Peck, I believe, uh, is no longer on the planet, but, uh, the road less traveled is, and it's probably the book that will change your life the fastest. If you really sit to and just absorb it, um, it'll break you. Um, and it's, it's one of my favorites. It's one of my favorites.

I think I've probably absorbed 10,000 hours of this shit.
