The James Altucher Show
James Altucher interviews the world's leading peak performers in every area of life. But instead of giving you the typical success story, James digs deeper to find the "Choose Yourself" story - these are the moments we relate to... when someone rises up from personal struggle to reinvent themselves. The James Altucher Show brings you into the lives of peak-performers: billionaires, best-selling authors, rappers, astronauts, athletes, comedians, actors, and the world champions in every field, all who forged their own paths, found financial freedom and harnessed the power to create more meaningful and fulfilling lives.

710 - Rethinking God, Sex, and Death in a World That's Lost Its Mind with Jamie Wheal
What a great title and subtitle for a book, Recapture the Rapture: Rethinking God, Sex, and Death in a World That's Lost Its Mind, by Jamie Wheal, author, Founder, and Executive Director at Flow Genome Project!

Just the past year, in 2020, the world rather argue on twitter about anything from epidemiology to politics, than doing things that are actually better for them. In this episode, Jamie talks about the critical issues with mankind, like how we think about them and how we use them could help us improve our mind, and get into the "Flow" state!
