Tai Lopez is no stranger to the London Real hot seat. He believes that many of the problems people have with success, and many of the world’s social problems, could be eased by turning away from “chewing gum entertainment” and reading more of history’s great thinkers.
In this three-hour conversation with Brian Rose, Tai discusses the focus on wealth, being open to the logical evaluation of ideas, and driving a Lamborghini while arguing against conspicuous consumption. He talks about what he learned living with the Amish, abundance versus scarcity thinking, the idea that wealth accumulation may be a form of reciprocal altruism, and why you must conquer your fear. He also explains how he turned things around after a difficult 2011, walks Brian through the good life test and the top five cognitive biases, and sets out his plans to double down on business, books and spreading ideas.
