I came from a very low income, nobody was winning, family, divorce, finances, we had nothing, you know, food stamps.

My dad was a cashier at a 99 cent store and I read a book called The Genius in All of Us that said, you know, the average low income kid is raised in a family that is rejected

600,000 times from 0 to 18 years old, more negative affirming than positive affirming.

Then it was middle class was 100,000 more negative than positive, and then upper class was 100,000 more positive than negative, right?

So you have to reaffirm yourself to beliefs of power of positive thinking, and you read these types of books to kind of elevate yourself and read the right affirmations.

How does one...

goal, if you're raised in an environment that there's so much negativity around, ah, that'll never happen to us, oh, we don't have a chance there, and you want to make it out of that environment, how does one do it?

Yeah, I read his book, The Road to Freedom.

I don't know if you've read it or not.

I couldn't put it down, Road to Freedom.

When it came out, I told everybody in my office, you guys got to read it.

Phenomenal book.

Please continue.

I love it.

Yeah.

You know, in 2008, when the market crash happened the next year in 08, 09, I don't know what the study was.

There was more books.

They measured what word it was.

Every, there was more books, 2000 plus copies, I believe where the word happy or happiness was in it.

Cause everybody wanted to find out how to be happy.
