Book Insights Podcast

Today in the Book Lounge, Tom & Karin discuss the book I Will Teach You to Be Rich with special guest Nick Hutchison. Each week Book Insights creator and author of The 50 Classics Series Tom Butler-Bowdon and Memo’d Program Manager Karin Richey invite you to join their fun and casual conversation about the book of the week. Hear what they love it about, what they don’t, how they rate it, and how it can advance your work and life. You’ll learn why it was selected to be part of the curated list of Book Insights, and what’s new with the book or the author currently. This week, Tom and Karin offer you insight on: *Discover what self help influencer Nick Hutchison spends lavishly on and cuts ruthlessly on after having read "I Will Teach You to Be Rich". *The major banking changes that Nick and Karin both made as a result of reading this book. *The dangers of a healthy bank account with an unhealthy mind. Learn to balance risk, safety, spending and saving while keeping your head on straight (AKA don/t spend it all on Dogecoin). Show Notes: Nick Hutchison is a founder of Bookthinkers, an online community and educational technology company that enables readers to achieve more and live better. They have over 100k followers worldwide and offer review, synopsis and analyses of nonfiction books. http://www.instagram.com/bookthinkers https://www.bookthinkers.com/ https://www.youtube.com/bookthinkers https://www.twitter.com/bookthinkers What is the difference between Book Insights episodes and Book Lounge episodes? Book Insights are formal, structured summary, analysis and exploration of a bestselling nonfiction book. Each episode is read by a professional voice actor and will introduce a new title selected specifically for its value to your work and life.  Book Lounge episodes are casual discussions about the book, the author, and anything else that comes along through the course of conversation. It’s more of a broad chat about how the book relates to current, everyday life. Should I listen to both the Book Insight and the Book Lounge episode on the same book? Sure! Each episode works fine as a standalone piece, so no requirement to listen to both or to listen in any particular order, but we definitely recommend (and think you’ll enjoy!) both. Think of it like reading a book and liking it so much you want to chat about it on the porch with a friend. That is the vibe at the Book Lounge. Like what you hear?

* Discover how to secure your financial future in one simple step, no matter how much you earn – paying yourself a regular set amount. This is the ‘automatic’ of the title.  * Bach isn’t offering a finger-click, instant wealth generator, but he shows that by paying yourself first, you can lay the foundations for future wealth and security.  * Stay in your job and amass wealth slowly through automatic saving, the effect of compounding over time, riding out any stock market peaks and troughs, and benefit from tax rules that favor ‘those who help themselves’. This way, attaining wealth becomes an inevitability, not just a faint hope. Theme 1: Financial Priorities - 0:29 Theme 2: Debt & Automation - 8:34 Like what you hear?

* A formula for success which has been used for centuries, by emperors, military commanders, athletes, presidents and entrepreneurs, the quiet grace and forbearance espoused by the ancient Stoics may seem at odds with today’s brash, dog-eat-dog world.  * Ryan Holiday draws on the ancient philosophy of Stoicism, which was founded in Greece in the early 3rd century, to show how this approach can be applied effectively to twenty-first-century life.  * Mastering the three critical elements of perception, action, and will opens up an eminently pragmatic way to confront any obstacles, and gain power, peace of mind and success.

*A classic guide to welcoming wealth and well-being into your life from the doyenne of prosperity thinking.  *Ponder explains how to rid yourself of the psychological blocks hampering your progress, allowing you to clear your mind and create a spiritual bedrock for future success and happiness.  *Drawing on a range of sources – the Bible, New Thought philosophers, esoteric teachings – she creates an easily digestible guide to the ‘prosperity laws.’  *At the same time, the warmth of her writing conveys a sense of peace: troubles are put into perspective, and the heart lifts on reading the stories of people who experienced a prosperity miracle when they had known only hard times.  *Yet Ponder’s words are pragmatic, not simply escapist, providing the tools to take your life to a new level, if you are willing to open your mind to the spiritual side of prosperity.

*Next time you’re scared of doing something, count backwards from 5 and move.  *Sometimes, courage is just acting before you can scare yourself out of doing it.  *Mel Robbins is one of the most in-demand motivational speakers today, but she’s still afraid of public speaking.  *Before each engagement, she’s racked with nervous energy, terrified of the eyes focused on her and the potential for rejection. However, she harnesses that terror, shifts her nervousness to excitement, counts down 5- 4- 3- 2- 1, and walks onto the stage.  *She feels the fear and does it anyway. You can too.
