All right, back again. Let’s see, what book are we going to pick today? Yeah, you guys don’t want to look at me, you want to look at the books, right? All right. Let’s go. Excuse me.
You guys see anything that’s just mind blowing? Mind blowing, trying to talk to you. Let’s see. Fully updated for 2019, we’re in 2021, but we got 91 different tax loopholes. I would imagine that even though they’re from 2019, I would not be surprised if some of these, right?
Sorry, I lost mine, I had a brain for it. Some of these are relevant in today’s world. Excuse me. So, nobody likes paying taxes. Everyone wants to figure out how to pay less taxes right? The wealthy in this country pay the least amount on the tax rate, but there’s a way that they do it all right? So, we can always complain and be like, “Wow! If I was rich, I would pay less in taxes.” Well, if you don’t know how to pay less in taxes, you’d probably still pay the same amount all right Because there’s a reason why he wrote this book.
All right, let’s go into the book. You don’t want to look at me no, I know. Give me a second, just give me a second. I’m trying to open the book for you, all right. So adoption tax, child tax, deduct your alimony payments, save 20 on your college tuition, get 20 back for spending money. I don’t have this no, this no, no, no, no, no. I’m talking about what will help for me. I would love to have that $12,000, but I don’t think Trump is going to give it to me now. But we will, don’t make this make with your [inaudible 00:02:18] friers that’s 250 of what you spend of your classroom. And it probably makes sure you have blah, blah, blah, blah.
Okay. Right here, the SUV American made cars. I have a, I got a Ford F-150, and I got a Chevy Tahoe. So, let’s see if this works for me.
Second home loophole that could put thousand dollars here we go. Number 62, you guys looking at it? All right. If you buy a car more than 6,000 pounds, you can deduct that for the whole year. That doesn’t do me any good. A hundred percent first year. I don’t, I’m not buying a brand new car.
Okay. I mean, here you go. So, it doesn’t really do me any good because I’m not buying a new car. However, the bonus is only available when you buy a SUV pickup, or van with a manufacturer’s gross weight of 6,000 pounds, and include a Chevy Tahoe. So, I would be able to get that explored, explored Toyota Sequoia. Well, that doesn’t make any sense. If he’s like over here, he’s like American made car, Toyota is a Japanese car. So, I don’t know what he’s talking about right there. Why would you say if you like American made cars and you’re talking about a Toyota, which is Japanese.
However, we’re going to not pay attention to that one. I apologize. And we’re going to look at this, the two car strategy, because that one was talking about… The two car strategy. Let me just try, all you have to do is drive both cars for business purposes, where you can claim deductions on both cars regardless of the deduction method use. As of the IRS mileage rates actual expenses. Unfortunately, two cars right won’t work for everyone to use it. You must put more miles on both cars than your spouse. The person who drives the other card does this is no hurdle. The cars must be at least somewhat close to an adjusted cost basis. Even among those you can use. The strategy will benefit some more than others consider the following.
All right. I hope I’m not upside down. If I’m upside down then, oh well listen to me upside down. So, what that was basically saying, I’ll explain more like on down below, what it’s saying is, if you have two cars in your house, let’s say your wife and you, or your significant other in today’s world, your partner. If you have two cars, all right? And you have your own little business, well don’t drive your car all the time. Use your wife’s car for your business as well. But you have to make sure that for business, you drive it more, than she drives for personal use. And then you can deduct both cars opposed to just one on your taxes. So, make sense. I’ll go more into it. Obviously when I write it down and go through it, the whole new car, the whole big car, American car.
I’ll go, I might go through that too. But it was one… I have no use for a new brand new car. That makes no sense, why would I spend that to save money on taxes? You just losing money. But I do already have cars. I don’t have a spouse, which obviously it won’t really work for me. But I do know a lot of people that have two people, like two people household, all right? So, for all the people out there that are more normal than I am, I guess you would say, then this is more for you this little down below read. Good. Boom! See you later.
Why, hello. You guys like my windows? Sorry, if it blurs you can’t see me. Whatever. You get used to it. All right. Let’s get back to it. Remember, if you see something you like, just let me know. How They See Us, oh, milk and honey. It’s probably not what I am expecting at all. Nothing that’s really screaming at me right now I’ll go to number two.
You know what? I like this one. History of Magic and Experimental Science. That sounds interesting. Right? However, You Only Live Once, sounds pretty interesting too. Look at this. This is a good little row right here we got. We got Houdini’s Magic. We even got Dennis Rodman, The Richest Man Who Ever Lived. Well, I think we are going to make a few videos out of here. All right. We are going to do… Oh wow, they even got Guns, Germs, and Steel on this row. I outdid myself on this one. This is jam-packed of interesting stuff. Oscar, wow. Yeah, yeah, yeah. You got to have that, but let’s start with, Houdini. All right. We all know who Houdini is. I got a couple of Houdini books. We’ll see what this Houdini book… It’s Houdini, Fabulous Magic by Gibson and Young. All right. Let’s go over to my middle of the library office.
Excuse me. All right. This is old. Here, you can look with me, I apologize. All right. The book is 1958, we got a 1961 right there. 1960. That’s the latest date that I see, is 1960. This should be interesting. Obviously right now it’s not the idea of reading every chapter, we’re just going to find one chapter that looks the most interesting of everything else. These are all, like I said, interesting. I mean, let’s see. Can you guys read? Yeah, it’s not the greatest. Whatever. You can see it though. The Vanishing Elephant or we got the Houdini’s Jail Escapes? What’s that? What’s that? Let’s do the Jail Escapes? No, I kind of want to do the elephant. We’re going to do The Vanishing Elephant. All right. Nobody wants to hear about jail. Jail’s depressing. 130.
The Vanishing Elephant. Look, here we go. “The world famous Houdini offers his latest creation, The Vanishing Elephant. An elephant weighing 10,000 pounds and he’s going to make it disappear in front of your eyes.” All right. Let’s see. Do we got any pictures? See, it’s kind of difficult. I don’t have two hands to be able to do [inaudible 00:04:42], but he did this in January 1918. It was the biggest illusion ever performed. [inaudible 00:04:51]. It was important but it wasn’t the greatest.
“Look, here is the elephant. I’ll first introduce her as the first known vanishing elephant. She has a baby blue ribbon around her neck and a fake wristwatch on her hind legs so the audience can see her leg until the last second when she enters the cabinet. I say, “She is all dressed up like a bride,” and that gets a big laugh for the good natured beast lumbers along, and I believe she is the best natured elephant that ever lived. I never allowed a hook to be used, relying on a block of sugar to make her go through her stunt and she certainly is very fond of me. She weighs over 10,000 pounds and is gentle as a kitten. There is no black arts.”
And he’s basically it’s like… All right. I mean, so far… I’m trying to not to get the backlight in you guys’ face. A vanishing elephant? This is right around Barnum & Baileys, so a long time ago. I mean, it’s kind of like, “You can just put it on YouTube now or Instagram,” but back then they used to really travel around, do these kind of shows and everything like that. And magic’s not as big as it was back then, I guess. I mean, it’s big but during Houdini’s time it was probably mad, like huge. Like a whole elephant disappears. This is when it first was coming out.
Very interested on giving you guys a more in-depth article below. Sounds like this is going to be fun. I don’t know. The little part that I was reading to you guys sounds like he was a pretty good guy. You know what I’m saying? He made sure to let us know that he wasn’t a hook, which would be miserable. Dude, what do you mean? You guys would hook and ladder like a fish, stick the elephant and drag him around? That would be just horrendous. But back in the olden days, they didn’t really think about or care too much if they hurt people. A lot of people are going to argue with me but I’m going to be like, “Yeah, well, think of slavery.” You know what I’m saying? It wasn’t that much before this, so if they are hooking an elephant, they’d hook people. I doubt they’d care about an elephant. But back to where we are at. Should be fun. Read a little about Houdini, and enjoy the paper.
What book is in store for us today? It is a little early in the morning and I’m a little lazy. Excuse me. I’m not lying. Let’s just do some easy stuff.
How the Universe Works. I’ve always wondered how it works, what about you guys? How the Universe Works:An illustrated guide to the cosmos and all we know about it. All right, let’s see what’s in here. Excuse me.
We got the secrets, we got the solar system, the earth and the moon, history of astronomy. I think I’ll probably go there. The space race, exploration missions. Well, there’s a lot more in this than I thought. Traveling to Mars and other worlds, I didn’t even know, we got Is it possible to colonize Mars?
Have you asserted for a film challenge? We got Connected With Space and then we got the Index. It looks like this is going to be a fun one because it’s full of pictures. Let’s go to…what do you guys think? I wish there was interactiveness where we can talk back and forth, but we can’t, so that kind of sucks. I’m curious about 196… really Jupiter in Focus 200. However, what is this Astronomical Clock of Su Song 120. Right? So we’re going to kind of jump around just a little bit. We’ll kind of go through 120, but our real focus is 200. See what I’m saying, this book is great because it got pictures. The whole thing is pictures, so it’s easy to learn.
What is this? The tree of life? A whole bunch of different things that…I got to focus more into this. This is interesting. Where did I say? 126? The First Astronomers.
All right. Here’s some well-known… I mean we’re not getting there, it’s just too many different things in here. 30 times the magnification of an object using the first telescope built by Galileo.
Look at that. Here we go, we got Claudius, we got that guy. Look at this guy, Nicholas Copernicus, he’s the one who proposed the sun was the center, not the earth. That’s great. Joseph Kepler, a German laws motion of the planets. Galileo, we all know Galileo, but what did he do? Discovered solar spots, the four moons of Jupiter, the phases of Venus and the Moon’s craters that’s it. Sir Isaac Newton and Edwin Hubble. So the Hubble Space Station.
All right, let’s get to back to where we were. What did I tell you? 126? Where’s the page numbers on this? No wonder it’s difficult for me to find anything, there’s no page number, oh there we go, right here, 126. This is too many, this is most definitely not what…well we know 200. Let’s just go to 200.
Jupiter in Focus. Look, here we go. A whole bunch of little many things we can learn. What’s this 14 years of a Galileo mission, ’89 to ’03. Where’s the…it took 14 years to do this? To get there? That’s forever! Look at this. However, the most significant visitor was Galileo, launched by NASA on October ’89. Galileo consisted of an orbiter… Okay, so we’re talking about some kind of space station. After a long voyage the atmospheric probe penetrated some 200 kilometers into the atmosphere on December 1995, transmitting data about the atmosphere’s chemical composition and Jupiter’s meteorological activity. The Orbiter continued sending information until it crashed into a gaseous giant on September. So that’s what it did.
No, this is… Well, how come they’re telling us on December 1995, and this is saying ’89 but they both died in September ’03. So I guess it took, what? Don’t telling me it took six years to get there? Are you kidding me! All right, I got to read more that’s a very long time.
Look, they crashed it on purpose. Look, it was crashed, it was sent to crash into the planet. The purpose was to avoid colliding with the moon Europa, because Europa has ice on it and they didn’t want to contaminate the ice. So that’s pretty interesting. So here’s a nice little timeline, right here. Look ’89 Galileo was launched by NASA from the space shuttle Atlantis with Jupiter as its destination. Galileo passes the earth on two occasions to get the necessary boost towards Jupiter. So what? They had to spin this around and slingshot us out there? Wow, this is crazy!
Wow! It, really did take six years. Galileo transmitted data from Venus, Galileo came across the asteroid Ida, Galileo approached the astroid 951 Gaspra and then…so look, we started here, boom! You see what I’m talking about? Galileo entered Jupiter and it began the scientific studies that continued until ’03 completed eight 35 orbits around the planet. Wow, that’s crazy! I’m I’m running out of time, but this is pretty interesting. Now we can do a little bit more in-depth of the Galileo. Who else wants to look at the technical data? $1.5 billion, 14 years. Now, it’s really not that expensive if you think about it.
All right. Well, again, we’re going a little bit long. I look forward to you guys reading the bottom part and learning more about Jupiter in Focus. Once again, we are; How the Universe Works: An illustrated guide. All right. See you all later.
Welcome back. For this episode, we’re back in the big library. Look at that, I got two of these books. Fact, fantasy, emotional factors in, no, the inner personality of… Psychiatry, nightmare, dreamscapes, how things work…
I like this. Frontier Pistols and Revolvers. This is for all your gun fanatics out there. Let’s do a little research on some old guns.
All right. We got firearms in American history, Samara Colt and the modern revolver. Sorry. So you guys can see me. All right. The Civil War, boxed and engraved, armed Smith and Wesson, the Colt Peacemaker and his competitors at the card table, the dawn of modern firearm…
This [inaudible 00:01:47] book is actually really interesting. Well everybody knows what Smith and Wesson is. So let’s, no. This is difficult. I should be live so you guys could help me. I want to read the card table and the Colt Peacemaker, and… I want to read all of them as a matter of fact. Yeah, we’re going to go ahead and go with Smith and Wesson. Everyone knows what Smith and Wesson is.
68. Oh yeah. Look at these pictures here. Here let me show you. This is Civil War. We’ll go, flip through them. Yeah, it’s 68.
All right. Put you back where you can see me. Working in manufacturing… All right. So a little history of Smith and Wesson. Working in the Robbins and Lawrence Cannon Factory in Windsor, Vermont. There were two gunsmith, Horace Smith, 1808 to 1893, and Daniel B. Wesson, 1825 to 1906. There are two names appeared together for the first time on February 14th, 1854 on a patent for a repeating revolver, the Volcanic.
On June 20th, 1854, the Smith and Wesson company was founded and began production of this pistol. It was a financial disaster however, and the two inventors ended up selling off the patents and their machinery, but they had other plans in mind and they were already working towards a release of a truly revolutionary revolver. In 1857, the year the great Sam Colt legal monopoly was due to expire. In August of 1854, they registered a patent on a small metal case cartridge, inspired by the work of Frenchmen, Flobert. It was the birth of the modern rimfire cartridge. Okay.
And then, like I said, we’re getting close to the five minutes. So I won’t… But there are some great pictures in here. Let me show you this real quick. I mean, obviously I’ll go through and show more pictures and things on the longer version, but I’m trying to keep these to five minutes. So I hope I sparked your interest on a little bit of Smith and Wesson and the volcanic repeating pistol. Here we go. So this is the pistol that in 1851, they patented. Manufactured by Volcanic Repeating Arms Company, New Haven, Connecticut. They manufactured 3000 of them. Damn. Self-propelling.
Yeah. So we’re at the five minute mark. If you want to hear more then, again, like, share, give me a comment, if you want to learn more about this book, if you’re interested in it and yeah, this is really interesting. Here I’ll show you it real quick. Like there’s just four more. Wow. They got a whole bunch of… Yeah… Hold on one second. Oh, wow, yeah. Yeah, look at these. I have to look at this. So yeah. Push the button, find the link wherever it is. And let’s go over this book, it’s really interesting. If you like guns. If you don’t like guns it’s not interesting, but I like Smith and Wesson and I like pistols, so it’s really interesting. I like this. I like that one. All right? The way it’s made. I like that one too. Hold on. Wait, let me show you a little bit, going to be fast.
All right. So we’re going to go through each one of these guns. Right? Wow. Commercially, 70,000 contracted Russia from 1873 to 1878. Look at this one. No, it’s this one. Look at that. I had no idea. So we’re going to learn a lot about Smith and Wesson. I had no idea that they… Look at this, another commercially contracted to the Russian, the first model. Look at that. Well, obviously this is the first one. This is the second one. And this is the third one. Wow. They did 41,000 of these to Russia. All right. That’s very interesting. I can’t wait till we get into this. This is going to really be interested. Look at, there’s some more. Talking about Japan. Oh, I’m sorry. We’re over the five minute mark. I apologize. We’ll get into more of it, but down below.
At the end of the day, I like to know, relax and slow my mind down. Cause you know, throughout the day I’m usually in front of a computer working or, you know, I’ve got the TV with the educational programs in the back and, you know, listen to Ty Lopez, grant Cardone or Russell Brunson, you know, Tony Robbins, whatever, listening to back while I’m working. And then, you know, at the nighttime I would, I was going to read, I had this book right here, the jello girls, a family history. It’s going to start that one today. Cause I was going to, I was listening to Ty and he talks about, you know, a nighttime read a biography, but I lost interest within the first five pages. It was kind of boring. You understand what the was or understand what’s going on. Right. I mean, I’m not stupid. I got what’s going on, but it didn’t
Didn’t grasp me. Right. So then I was like, you know what?
I want to look through my library and find every marketing book. Like I just moved into this room, like literally moved across the hall. So it’s not like I moved forward, but I haven’t in this room. I have, I got more of a library like this isn’t this isn’t my main library. My, my main room. I got a bigger library. But in here, just through just looking through some books, I’ll show you
Marketing books at Brown, we got this one, we got this one, you
Gotta get the global marketing.
Got that one, this one Word of mouth marketing, you know, probably be a good one, an older one. But I was, I was flipping through it. I mean it got nine case studies plus 40 plus examples of marketing and action. So just, you know, while you’re building a swipe file, it’s always good to look at the older stuff, see what worked in the past. And then we’ve got, this is a real one product design, but you know, it’s really old, but I bet through here, if I skim through it, I’ll find a little piece of butter, like a little gold nugget or something, you know? Cause you have to remember like through everything, you don’t have to read every word, which I like to read every word. Um, I’m one of those weird people that like to read every single word and every book. But if you don’t have time or if you’re not, you know, weirdo, like I am then, you know, just scam through the, or like skim through the book and try to find at least one golden nugget.
Like it’s a guarantee because this is just one room and I didn’t look very hard. Like if I, if I looked at every single book and read the title of the rebook, then I probably find more. And then the main library, I think I’ve found there’s more of a minor. I have a way more, this is just this room library. All right. But in this room randomly I one, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight different marketing books. Right? So with the spirit of this, it said the average American reads one book a year, the average top CEO reads 52. Right? So if you don’t have a library,
I mean,
Like I said, this isn’t even my main library. This is just in my room.
Not even my main room. This is just one of my rooms.
I’ll show you on a different video. My house, my other room, my other rooms were like excite Lapidus. I have some really cool books in those. And then in the big room, I got the bigger library. But uh, back to what I was saying, if you don’t have a library in your house, you need to build one. Right? Cause if whatever topic that you’re looking for yet, okay. YouTube is great. But YouTube,
My mom,
Most people on YouTube didn’t spend very much time on making their videos. Right? So this book right here, like I was saying, designer’s guide of marketing or guide to marketing right? With all this, like this lady, Betsy Newberry’s. She took a lot of time creating this book, right. To find the 40 different examples. And the nine case studies like she studied and did that, like this book right here, this is a college course on marketing, real people. All right. Mostly your, your YouTube was aren’t gonna one. They might. Yeah, you’re right. They know the internet marketing, but at the same time, the real good ones have taken time and time and time and studied. So if you want to become great at something, you know, pick up a book, don’t just use YouTube. Right. And pick up a book. Right. Because even if you listen to some of the greatest marketers out there like Thai or, or, or even grant, right.
Grant’s written five books. Ty’s written a few books, but always talks about books, Russell Brunson. He’s written what? Six books. So if you just kind of think, you know, what, how are all these people getting successful? And it’s books, Warren buffet says he reads like eight hours a day. Just imagine that that’s a full-time job of reading. But then at the same time, look how much money you guys. So maybe if we all just read all day, we’d all have money. Right. Because instead of going out, he’s reading a book, all right. Well, he’s not spending very much money by sitting in the house, reading a book, expanding his mind. Right. So that’s why he became such a great investor. He’s not out or excuse me, not out messing the money up.
All right. But what you going to say?
But Erik books are expensive. That’s thousands of dollars. Yeah. Yeah. I get you. Right. Cause one of these books, if I was selling these books, what? This one, one of them, $64.
So yeah,
It adds up. But what I’m going to do because you don’t have a bookstore on Amazon. And then I have a lot of excess books in my garage,
Just boxes and boxes of books.
What I’m thinking about doing is, you know, when I have some time I’m going to get everything organized. I’m going to help everybody create a library right now where I got this idea. It wasn’t, I’m not going to lie. It’s not my idea. It was Joe’s idea in Africa. Right. I was like, you know, I got all these books, what should we do with them? And he’s like, well, send them. And then we’ll create people’s libraries. Just like you have a library in your house. It’s like, you know what? That’s an ingenious idea. All right. Cause if we can bulk sell books because like having a library, we’ve talked about it in the past is it’s more of like a S like status right now. You know, maybe Jordan’s to use his status. Right. But I bet you, Michael Jordan has a library or a study in his mansion.
Right. So if you’re buying his shoes, but he has a library, think about that. And which one would you rather have? What he has or what he’s selling. You I’d rather have what he has. So, you know, maybe a library is a good idea. And in the future, you know, because I have this problem, I really have this problem. And hopefully you guys can help me out with this problem and I can help you guys out. I have too many books right? In like my overflow of books, not my library. And you can never have too many books for your library, but my overflow of books in my garage, I need to create space. So once I kind of figure out the ins and outs of everything, I’m going to start selling, you know, the, the large you, uh, post office boxes, right? I’m thinking I’ll fill the box up. I think, you know, if it’s all textbooks, it can fit maybe 10 to 15. But if I throw other books in there, I can fit maybe 21 to 25. So anywhere like 15 to 25 books per box, what do you think? A fair prices?
Because I want to inspire reading, let’s say $2 a book. All right. We’ll do an average. So we’ll sell the box at the lowest, right? Just because if it’s, if it’s all textbooks, we’ll go an average plus 10%. Right? So 30 plus 10, cause I said 15, it was $2. Well, it was just go $2 book. So $30 for a box, right? When it was large, large post-service boxes plus 10%. So we’ll go 33, 30, $3. And then you guys pay for the shipping. And I think that’s fair because one of these books alone could cost you $64. Like I showed you. So if you get, if you, if you open the box, it’s, it’s almost, it’s almost guaranteed. You’re going to get three or four books that are worth over $10. So you’re going to be getting half the books for free. And then you’re just paying for shipping and I’ll ship it out to you.
Not like I said, it’s not available right at this moment. It will be in the future though. But let me get back to build your library so that at any given time, you can just look around in your room. All right. And find one, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight books on the topic that you’re interested. And if you don’t even like to read who cares because most of them have pictures and you can just read the little pictures for each of the things that are interesting. Right? Remember, build your library, man, use this. The more you learn, the more you earn.
Hi, how’re you doing? I’m John. I’m going to build you a box today. I’m going to get these 20 books in this box. We’re selling boxes for $75. We’re going to just go ahead and make you a quick box together real fast. We got two, three, four, five, six. All right, I’m going to build you a box. I got 20 books in this box. Technical Analysis for Trading Professionals, $50 book. Okay, I completed a box. See here?
Ah. We’re in more of the encyclopedia room. I figured we might as well find something interesting in a series or we might find something interesting that’s not in the series. Yeah. See, we got our great books down here. We got the Native or the American Indians. We’ve got the Vietnam Experience, the Jet Age. Pfister Steel.
I’m not going to read them all, because that’d just be repetitive, but let me move this bed out of the way a little bit. Let’s see what’s over here. Oh, yeah. Boom. Well, I’m up on the bed now. I’m not getting off. All right. Let’s see what we got. Oh. We got some decent books over here. We got the Attacks on the Press. That’s relevant.
We got, Age of the Customer. The Marketing of Evil. I wonder what … Sorry. I had to think. I saw the marketing and I was like, “Oh, that’s a marketing book.” No, it’s probably a religious book. Drucker on Marketing. Oh, yeah. There is a lot of marketing books in here. All right. Well, any which way, let’s look at … 81 Natural Cures. All right. 81 Natural Cures for Cancer, Diabetes, Alzheimer’s and More. All right. Let’s see what we got.
Nutrition and Healing. I forgot to say that part. All right. We got cancer. No, we don’t have cancer. Alzheimer’s and brain health. Mineral breakthrough with helping terminal … No. Brain health is always good, but I don’t have Alzheimer’s. Hart health. Diabetes. Women’s health. Energy and thyroid health. Yep.
Well, look at this over here, we got digestion and weight loss. Right? We’ve also got immune system and autoimmune disease or whatever that is. Men’s health too. Uh oh. Look at this one, “Become “King of the Bedroom” Again. Powerful three combo helps reverse erectile dysfunction.” I might have to do that one. Not right now, but later on. Excuse me.
Look at this. “Feeling fat? Irritable? No sex drive? “Female” hormone is wrecking your health?” Look at that. It’s in the book. I didn’t say it. Let’s do the energy though, because everybody … I always want to keep my energy levels up. “Keeping your energy levels from sagging, with this seriously misunderstood vitamin fix.”
Speaker 1:
Stomp out chronic fatigue and get your old … Get up and go. Sluggish and suffering? Doc says, you’re fine … No. Let’s do the … Right here. Keep Your Energy Levels From Sagging. 375. What else is in here? Essential Health Secrets. Keep killing stress at bay. For more opinions … No more needles. Yeah. We’re going to do the, keep your energy levels high.
And then, if people say … If I get some responses in the, whatever you call it, comments, then we’ll go over Become King of the Bedroom. This is for girls and for guys. You never know. Maybe some girls might want to know how to get their men back in the bedroom, performing at a top-level like a champion. 375. This is a pretty big book. All right.
This is chapter two of this section of the book. Let’s see if we can … “Their energy levels are tanking. Getting out of bed in the morning is a struggle, and they’ve lost the pep to play with grandkids.” I’m not that old. I don’t have grandkids, but we’ll see what they got.
When I recommended a vitamin B injection or advise my patients to start a supplement program, often they’ll object. And it’s because some mainstream doctor has tested their B12 levels and claimed they were just fine or even elevated. Poison themself with B12. And he says, it’s a load of nonsense.
What this B12 test isn’t telling you … “As a doctor, it pains me to admit this. But the medical world got really dumb when lab testing was invented. Doctors stopped using their brains. Conventional doctors tend to use lab results as gospel. They tell a patient she doesn’t have a disease or vitamin or hormone deficiency, even if she has every symptom of it, just because the blood work came back normal.”
Very interesting. And it’s exactly the same deal with B12, if the results come back within the normal range. Yep. Basically, they’re saying … What they don’t tell you is that there’s a big problem with how they define normal. That is very true. Because the average of everything is just crap.
“The conventional medical community has devised those normal lab values, by taking a population and taking the average of them … Established norms aren’t even close to being based on perfect people with perfect energy levels.”
All right. That makes a lot of sense. I mean, think about it. If they tested a whole bunch of out of shape, lazy people, opposed to some in-shape, workout every single day, then the B12 levels would be completely different. Right? It all depends on the testing that they did in that test group, because we’re not … Oh, yeah. Well, actually, it says that.
Are you getting enough of this monumental nutrient, blah, blah, blah. Wow. I had no idea that B12 was that important. It always amazes me how many biochemical processes are tied to B12. It’s responsible for the repair and upkeep of the nervous system and refinement of every blood cell your body makes. B12 lowers your level of … Yeah, that’s a big one. Homocysteine, an amino acid that’s been implicated in stroke and cardiovascular disease.
With your energy and stamina, even helps your body produce serotonin, a brain chemical that regulates your mood. Even better, you feel the results very quickly. Wow. This is incredible. I said, “incredible,” because I see it in front of me. I didn’t like … But it is incredible … Make B12 a staple practice. But it’s like, basically, get that B12 man.
Get that B12 all inside of you. Well, yeah. I mean, we basically went through the whole chapter on accident. But I will read and give you more of a synopsis, without me reading and not reading and all that good stuff. But we’re looking at Cured … Nutrition and Healing in a Natural Way. All right. Everyone got to get healthy nowadays. Yeah, that was pretty interesting. B12. Let’s keep it out. B12, baby.
So, what I decided … Since I have a library and I’m trying to promote everyone to read and get in the spirit of reading and educating their brain, is I decided that I’m going to pick a random book every day, right? And try to find … Or just, I’m not going to read it every single day. Well, I’m not going to read the whole entire book every day, I’m doing that on a different project. But on this particular project, I’m going to pick a random book and I’m going to try to find one little golden piece of nugget.
So, we’re going to sit down, we’re going to read the table of contents, we’re going to think of something that looks interesting in the book. We’re going to skim through, we’re going to skim the chapter and we’re going to try to find something interesting. So, it’s going to go something like this. It’s not a mock. I’m not going to do it. I’m just going to give you an example. So, as you see, I mean, I got … My library’s not huge, but it’s not small either. And I got books over here too. So, what we’re going to do, we’re just going to pick a random book.
That’s going from … No. Excuse me. Yeah. See, it’s difficult. There’s a lot of books in there and they all kind of look interesting, honestly. Let’s just grab one. All right? Because that’s what we’re going to do, we’re just grabbing some random book. That’s even difficult. All right, we’re just going to grab this one. All right. So, now that we have a book … The book is, The Green Pharmacy Guide to Healing Foods: Proven Natural Remedies to Treat and Prevent More Than 80 Common Health Concerns. All right. I’m going to show you what it looks like. There you go.
So, we’re going to open it up. It’s a new book too. Oh, wow. Wow. This is a lot more than what I thought. So, we’re going to look through the table of contents. There it goes. There I go again. All right. And the reason I said, “Oh wow,” is because I didn’t know that there was 800 different chapters in this book. I thought it was just … We got part one, food medicine, part two food remedies that work. All right? So, on a regular day … Let’s just do it right now. Memory loss. All right, everybody eventually is going go through memory loss.
So, I mean, they got everything. Sunburn, skin problems, shingles, gout, hangover, hay fever, headaches. How foods work. [inaudible 00:03:13], asthma, cold, flu, cold sores, corns, coughs, body odor, bronchitis. I mean, this is literally your one-stop shop on how to cure things, which is interesting. I didn’t know this. So which one are we going to? We’re going to memory loss. So, 264. So, 264. All right? All right. Let’s see if we find … Oh, look at this. There you go. Like I said, one little piece of golden nugget. I don’t want to spend too much time, because what I’ll do is I’m going to summarize more. So not in the videos, I’m going to read it. All right?
Because I don’t think you want to hear me read the whole chapter because it’s a long chapter, right? I mean, it’s not that long, but it’s longer than what I want to read. Then what I’m going to do, I’m going to read and summarize and then take some notes and then it will be available as the notes to memory loss, right? Our one little golden nugget. And what we’re finding right here is healthy foods for memory loss, black-eyed peas. More and more we learn that homocysteine contributes to many [inaudible 00:04:35] and Alzheimer’s may be one of them.
According to American Heart Association, this amino acid may be linked to coronary heart disease, strokes, and peripheral artery disease, a problem related to poor blood flow in the legs. Fortunately, a variety of plant foods, including black-eyed peas may offer some protection. All right? So like I said, if you want to know more, then click the like, subscribe, then in the video what you’ll see is a link to the rest of this. So if you’re interested and you want to learn more about memory loss and black-eyed … Excuse me, black-eyed peas, not the music group, the little vegetable that you eat, then click below. Click the link below and can’t wait to see you on the other side.
All right today, we’re in, this room is kind of like my encyclopedia room. The reason I call it that is because I have a whole bunch of series of things. The Old West, Combat Survival, the Civil War, we’ve got the Vietnam Experience, we’ve got the Third Reich, this one’s cool, The Epic of flight, American Indians. All right, you kind of get the point. That’s why I like calling this the encyclopedia room. I got more over here, but I also have a bed in here. So let’s find something random and interesting. The lights right there. My bad.
Now, remember when we were looking, it’s… I’m a firm believer in don’t buy books only that you’re interested in. I mean, the way I built my library is a little different than most, but the reason I say that, because if you only have a library full of books that you’re interested in at that very moment, then you don’t give yourself time to grow or start looking into different things. I have so many different genres of books, like, look, I just noticed this look, it’s a whole Nicholas Sparks section. I mean, he usually makes his movies in the Carolina, so that’s probably why I have that, but I don’t know why I even put it out. Look at this, all right. “Double Your Money in Antiques in 60 Days”. All right, that looks kind of interesting. “Buying and Managing Real Estate”. All right. And “The Difference Maker”. Hmm. But then also “The Combat Photographer” sounds kind of interesting. Ah man, there’s so many interesting books over here. Matter of fact, before we go any further, let’s just go ahead and… The first one that really stuck out in mind. “Double Your Money in Antiques in 60 Days”. All right.
Let’s look through here. All right, our chapters. Right when I see one that’s interesting. I’m going to stop and we’ll go there. “How the antique business works”. “My wife ana the Harvard school of business administration”. Hmm. That sounds interesting right there. Like, what? But let’s go down just a little further. “Where the antiques come from”, “where anyone can buy at wholesale”, “how to buy at auctions”, “the great regional auction houses”, “some people are so deceitful”, “how to sell the things you buy”, “how to pay for your winter vacation in Florida buying and selling antiques”.
Let’s do “how to sell the things you buy”, because I can always get stuff, you know what I’m saying? That’s easy. But how to sell it, let’s see if he has any insights that I haven’t thought about. 36.
“How to sell the things you buy, or the general art of getting your buyers to work for you”. All right.
Now remember, I’m just trying to find a small itty bitty golden nugget in here. Now, if you want to watch, or if you want to get the whole review of this chapter, my notes, and then me going more in depth in this chapter, then just click below, click on the side. I don’t know where it is, but it’s here somewhere.
All right. Usually, italicized things are important, and bold. So we got three different things I’m going to read, see which one is most interesting. Offer it to him, and he’s like, get what you pay for, and get your money back so you can invest in [inaudible 00:04:47] tomorrow… No, that’s… I got to read more.
All right. Right here. “Selling” big, bold capitalized letters, because we’re already over at the five minutes, so I got to hurry up. It’s selling because the first principle in selling is ‘involve the customer in the decision-making process’, which is worlds away from a buyer, or not buy process. Long ago, when I sold typewriters for Remington Rand, the first thing I learned was that you never ask a person to buy your typewriter. What you do is you bring two typewriters with you, and you demonstrate the different features of both. Then when you’ve gotten him interested in comparing the difference between the two of them, you whip out your order book and say, “which one do you like best?” I like that. I like that.
So if you stuck around for the whole five minutes, hopefully you got that little piece of gold right there. Now again, if you want to have a whole review of the chapter, then click somewhere around and you’ll be sent off to the link and you’ll get my full review of the chapter with notes, and me going more into it. All right. See you next time.
I just woke up. Well, I’ve been up for an hour, that’s a lie. I have eye boogers.
Whatever. It’s 3:40 in the morning. I like waking up early in the morning. The reason why I wake up so early, usually … Today I woke up kind of late. Usually I try to wake up around 1:00. There’s nothing going on at 1:00 in the morning. You got a lot of people that are still awake. They’re on this part, about to be crashing and going to sleep. And then that’s it. It’s very peaceful. It’s quiet. Just listen. Exactly, you can’t hear anything. Wake up early, you get some time by yourself.
You see, I’m taking notes first thing in the morning while I was sitting here in this room. Remember, I’ve only lived in this particular room for a week, maybe, because I was in my other room. I’m moving in this one because one of my bathrooms is in here so it’s just faster, instead of living in a different room and then walking in here to go to the bathroom. I’m like, well, I might as well just live in this room.
I want to talk a little bit about the importance of having a library, or at least books in your room. Today’s a little bit longer than the five minutes that I usually promise because we’re already at a minute and a half. The reason is, we’re going to talk a little bit about dreams. When you dream, your mind doesn’t really know the difference between a dream and reality. If you were woken up and you’re like, “Wow, that felt so real,” well, to your brain, it was real.
I don’t want to go too much in depth so I’m only going to bring it … that it has to do with books and why I want you to have books close to your bedroom. You tend to dream about the last thing that was on your mind before going to sleep. If you were thinking about your financial problems, then your mind, when you’re sleeping, is going to be thinking about financial problems and all the negative things because you were thinking negatively before you went to bed. If you were thinking of financial problems as a positive thing, like, “Whew, man, this new Porsche, this new Ferrari. I’m glad I don’t have financial problems,” well, then your mind’s going to be thinking about all the Lamborghinis, Ferraris. Whatever it is. G6s and G8s, whatever.
Then you’re going to be dreaming and you’re going to wake up with a little bit more motivation to go get the things that you dreamt about because you dreamt about it. If you’re thinking about a girl before or a guy right before you go to sleep, well, subconsciously, your mind thinks about it all bloody night. Think about it, you’re at work throughout the day, maybe eight, 10, 12 hours. How many different thoughts go through your head? Millions. Or thousands, whatever. When you’re sleeping for eight hours, it’s hyper-focused.
If this has ever happened, you think your dream was for five minutes, but then you realize that you were asleep for five hours. Think about that. Sleep for five hours, you’re going through your dream. You’re going through your adventure in your dream or whatever it is. Everyone’s had some crazy dreams before. That dream that you think doesn’t take very long, is actually hours and hours. Excuse me.
Wouldn’t you want your mind to work for you before you go to bed? Then the eight hours that you’re sleeping, 10 hours you’re sleeping, your mind is just consistently working and figuring problems out or going to different worlds you’ve never thought of before. Having a library close your room or close to where you sleep is vital for this, because where do you want to go when you’re sleeping?
Let’s look. Mind you, it’s first thing in the morning. I already went to sleep and this is part of the reason I did this, because I had some dreams about what I was doing right before I went to bed. I was like, “I’m going to talk about that.” We’ve got Dave Ramsey’s Complete Guide to Money, but you know, [inaudible 00:04:50] biographies before you go to bed, which makes sense because then you get a lot of time to think about.
We’re saying, where do you want to go? If you’re trying to solve problems, obviously you want to get some problem-solving books. Then for eight hours, your mind’s going to be thinking about it. But today, today, it’s already five minutes so I apologize today’s going over, I have been looking at this one book. Well, I’ve been looking at a couple of them. I really want to look at this one, Sublime Nature. I would love to think about that when I’m going to bed. You just look at pretty things and you dream about being at all these pretty places in divine nature. Then we got Night Vision. That one’s another one.
This isn’t my encyclopedia room. The encyclopedia room’s over there. This is National Geographic room because I’m over here looking at a whole bunch of National Geographics, which, always interesting. But, today. This one’s really awesome, too, The Sea. It’s not random, I already looked at it. Maybe one of these days I’ll bring it out and we’ll look through it together. It’s a really awesome book.
The book that has been on my nerves. I don’t really know how to pronounce it. For some reason, it’s the reason we’re going to talk about it today. It’s this one. Baroque. Architecture, Sculpture, and Painting. It was sticking out at me so it’s like, you got to go. You got to do it.
Right, here we’ve got Wolfgang [Jean 00:06:48] architecture in the city in Italy from the early baroque to the early neoclassical period. I’m guessing that baroque is some time in history. Correct me if I’m wrong. I don’t know what it is. It has to be because we’ve got a baroque architecture in Spain, in Portugal, in Latin America, in France. Baroque city planning. What is this?
In the longer video, I’m going to have to Google and see what this word means because it’s all over. Wait a minute. Let me just show you. See what I’m saying? Baroque architecture in Spain and Portugal and Latin America and France and Scandinavia. Netherlands, England, Germany, Swiss, Austria, Eastern European. Then you’ve got sculptures, paintings, paintings. I think I’m going to have to go a little longer on this one. I think we’re going to have to dive in and see exactly what this means. There was a reason why it was calling my name.
That’s a big book too. 430 pages. Obviously we’re not going to go through the whole book. I like going to Latin America. Let’s go, baroque architecture in Latin America. Page 120. Wow. Look at this. 108. Hold on. Spain and Portugal. Ooh, goodness. Goodness. Wow. I’ve been there. Hold on. I’ve been there. I have a picture of it at nighttime.
I’m sorry. I forgot what page I’m supposed to be on. Latin America. 120. I’ve been here too.
I’m sorry. 120. Here we go. It’s architecture. Literally, it’s just architecture. That didn’t last very long. There’s only one page in there? Hold on, man. That was one page. It doesn’t seem right. It looks like I picked literally the one that had two pages and that was it. So baroque architecture in Latin America. We got Mexico. Brazil. Brazil. Cuba. Brazil. And Brazil.
1700s, 18th century. I hope you guys are excited as this as I am. I’m going to do, in the longer video, in the longer one, I’m going to go ahead and just … Well, now it got me very interested on, what about in England? 162.
Now I think I know what this is, but then you go to England and it’s completely opposite of what I thought. 162. This is the archetype … this type of architecture in England. Okay, look. With the columns and there’s just massive houses too.
What we’re going to do, especially if you’re interested in architecture, what I’m going to do, I’m going to dive a little bit deeper. Mind you, I’m not going to do the entire book because that would be for a completely different class. For this particular one, I’ve already gone way over. It was supposed to be five minutes, we’re at 12 minutes, almost 13 minutes. What I’m going to do, I’m going to read over Spain, Portugal, Latin America, and France. No, I’m not going to do France. Just Spain, Portugal, and Latin America. The reason I’m going to do that is because obviously Brazil speaks Portuguese and the rest of Latin America speaks Spanish. I want to see, since we only had two pages of Latin America, I want to see where it derived from.
We’ll do Spain, Portugal, and Latin America in the more advanced or whatever, the longer video. Mind you, this one’s long. It’s 13 minutes. It’s going to be longer because this is pretty interesting.
Again, let’s get back to, remember, whatever you’re really thinking about before you go to bed … Mind you, I just woke up, but if I was looking at this before I went to bed and I read about all this before I went to bed, then the dreams that I would have probably would have something to do with this type of architecture or the mansions. Mansions, castles, palaces. Whatever you call these enormous structures with all his artwork and everything. This is just amazing. They’re huge. I would not mind living in one of these bad boys. I would have to have quite a few staff because my house isn’t even that big and I have a hard time keeping track of it.
Again, the importance of having books in the room that you sleep and having interesting books, don’t have scary books, don’t have any of that kind of stuff … I hate snakes. I’m petrified of snakes. If I had books all about snakes in here, then what do you think I’m going to dream about? Some bloody snakes, and I’m not going to be sleeping very well. I like architecture. I like castles and mansions and all that kind of stuff.
We’ll just look. We got the National Geographic. National Geographic. National Geographic. Some science. Some trains. Architecture, obviously. We got Islam. Who’s in the Bible? Encyclopedia history. Catcher in the Rye. Ernest Hemingway. Social problems. Seven Pillars of Wisdom. We’ve even got Warren Buffett and George Soros. We got just a lot of different writings and things. We’ve got the great books.
Have books that inspire motivation and inspiration, so when you’re sleeping, you can allow your mind to wander on interesting subjects. Subjects to help you in the future. When you wake up, you’ll be more motivated. If you have problems right now with your finances or something, then before you go to bed, read books on getting yourself out of finance and really try to just dream about it, so your mind is working for eight hours on how to solve your problems. That’s why I said it’s your own movie library. It allows your brain to dream and think at nighttime.
Just build your library. Have one close to your room. Before you go to bed, you don’t have to just watch the big box. TV. You can enhance your brain with pictures and things like this. I would have never even thought about looking up, I’m going to badger the name of this one more time, boque, boskay, whatever it’s called, architecture on YouTube. Why? Because I didn’t even know it existed. Having random books helps you.
Again, Like. Subscribe. Whatever it is you guys like to do. Leave a comment down below if you want to be technical and tell me exactly how wrong I pronounced everything and give me your YouTube definition of what all this stuff is when I have this huge book in front of me, and tell me how wrong I am about everything. That’s cool, you can do that. Or you can be like, “Those pictures are awesome,” and meet me on the other side where I go more in-depth and let’s learn more about the baroque-era architecture, sculpture, and painting.
See you on the other side.
