“Brian: First a massive thank you for setting up Zaadz, now Gaia... I'm writing also to thank you for the recent Philospher's Notes. I absolutely love the recent ones by Robin Sharma and now Nietzsche about pushing yourself, and your practical stuff about getting up before the sun, and the other stuff about “it's great to find your dream, your gift to the world, but are you willing to work hard to actually make it happen!?” This is where I am at in my personal life. Very clear on what I'm doing and why, but not really very good at, or not willing to, push myself out of my comfort zone in order to make it happen now. So thank you for these very loving kicks up the butt that I have been receiving in my Inbox every morning! You are giving a great gift to the world. You are a living example of what can be achieved. God Bless You!”
“Hello Brian: I came across your site by chance (or was it chance?) and I think that it is fantastic. Why? Well because I think that the underlying concept, as I see it, is something that is very much needed in current times. Hard working, time pressed folk just can't devote the hours necessary to work their way properly through all the books you refer to. And I am not at all convinced that any sort of "speed reading" techniques would help to absorb in full the original content of all your enclosed texts. It's just great to be able to download a MP3 and listen to the 20 minutes or so of "distilled wisdom" per book last thing at night on my iPod. The way I see it you have compiled the musical equivalent of a "Greatest Hits" compilation from the philosophy domain. Plus I think that US$20 is very, very good value. May the powers that be give you the strength and inspiration to continue your important work.”
"Rich people see every dollar as a “seed” that can be planted to earn a hundred more dollars, which can then be replanted to earn a thousand more dollars." ~ T. Harv Eker
