About this listen
Analyzing the basic nature of human thought and consciousness itself, the author makes available to everyone the key to penetrating the last barrier to the advancement of civilization and science and resolving the most crucial of all human dilemmas: how to instantly determine the truth or falsehood of any statement or supposed fact.
All human endeavors have the common goal of understanding or influencing human experience. To this end, man has developed numerous descriptive and analytical disciplines: morality, philosophy, psychology, and so on. Regardless of what branch of inquiry one starts from (philosophy, political theory, theology) all avenues of investigation eventually converge at a common meeting point: the quest for an organized understanding of the nature of pure consciousness.
To explain that which is simple can be difficult indeed. Much of this book is devoted to the process of making the simple obvious. If we can understand even one simple thing in depth, we will have greatly expanded our capacity for comprehending the nature of the universe and life itself.
PLEASE NOTE: When you purchase this title, the accompanying reference material will be available in your My Library section along with the audio.

The latest groundbreaking tome from Tim Ferriss, the number-one New York Times best-selling author of The 4-Hour Workweek. For the last two years, I've interviewed more than 200 world-class performers for my podcast, The Tim Ferriss Show. The guests range from super celebs (Jamie Foxx, Arnold Schwarzenegger, etc.) and athletes (icons of powerlifting, gymnastics, surfing, etc.) to legendary Special Operations commanders and black-market biochemists. For most of my guests, it’s the first time they’ve agreed to a two-to-three-hour interview.

In The Outsiders, you'll learn the traits and methods striking for their consistency and relentless rationality that helped these unique leaders achieve such exceptional performance. Humble, unassuming, and often frugal, these "outsiders" shunned Wall Street and the press, and shied away from the hottest new management trends. Instead, they shared specific traits that put them and the companies they led on winning trajectories: a laser-sharp focus on per share value as opposed to earnings or sales growth; an exceptional talent for allocating capital and human resources; and the belief that cash flow, not reported earnings, determines a company's long-term value.

Absolutely Amazing Book ❤️
10 out of 10
I've just woke to understanding the levels of consciousness. This book is Matthew 7:7-8 in a nutshell for me. I encourage you all to read/listen to this book asap! There is something about hearing the author read his own book that is stunningly amazing.

Enlightening Information, but terrible narration
I read this book years ago and found the information at that time very enlightening. The information lead me to The Course in Miracles. I got this audible book to review the information as I intent to finally listen to the follow up books. The information is still as enlightening, however the author should not have read the books himself, but his a bet reader. The author is very monotone and makes the subject matter sound very dry. I constantly lost focus of what he was saying because it was so hard listening to his voice.

Amazing book that changed my life. So brilliant
his voice is monotone which I like. I find it calming and the information is groundbreaking. Can't say enough good things about this book. If you can get past his voice then a fountain of knowledge and priceless relics of knowledge and wisdom are to be found here. I believe this man was enlightened no problem.

How to reduce content to a side note
The content is extremely valuable. The knowledge is reduced to will during the narration. Possibly the worst narration on all of audible. I struggle to focus on the content because of the slurring monotonous voice highlighted by an AI voice over of titles. I bought the paperback instead. 5 stars for content and 1 for both narration, annunciation, pronunciation, and reading. It’s so bad. It’s so frustrating. It is the worst narration ever. Listen to the sample.
