The New Man Podcast dives into the topics guys are hungry to explore but typically only discuss after a few beers. In a nutshell, The New Man Podcast is personal development for guys who think self development is for pussies. The New Man is for guys who want to attract the right woman without playing "Pickup Artist" games or seduction tricks. We explore how to have an exciting sex life while learning how to navigate the sticky world of relationships. The New Man helps men break out of their confining job and get paid to do what they love. A common theme in all shows is to help guys quit settling for less, find their purpose and live a passionate, meaningful life. How is this done? By getting a handle on fear and stop letting emotions get in the way. The New Man helps guys develop the best physical and mental practices to live a life with brains, heart, guts and balls.

He’s easily one of the most popular guests we’ve had.

And if you’ve heard Brian speak then you know he’s rocking it big time. The guy is a freakin’ optimal living machine.

Good for him. So what?

Well, now he’s got a killer new course for helping you optimize YOUR life.

Top 3 Reasons Why Brian Johnson’s Optimal Living 101 is Badass:

1.     He’s read more books than you’ve even seen.

2.     He’s taken all of the big ideas, the “universal truths” and boiled them into a simple sequence of lessons you really need to know.

3.     He’s filtering out the stuff you DON’T need to know. (This is saving you about 33.5 years of reading. Trust me.) :-)

In other words: He’s saving your ass a TON of time, money and frustration.

Now he’s offering these Big 10 Ideas in his new Optimal Living 101 course.

But it’s not just reading PDF files or listening to a podcast. Nope. If you sign up, you get to interact with him LIVE. If you Click here to read the rest...

After selling my last business (Zaadz) and traveling for a bit, I decided to give myself a Ph.D. in Optimal Living with a Specialization in Greatness and Bliss. Figured I’d get a Master’s when I’d distilled 100 of my favorite books into concise, fun, inspiring summaries. Then, on a flight from Tokyo to LA, I had one of those “Aha!/hallelujah!!” moments when I opened the SkyMall to an ad for a company that summarized business books for “busy executives.” I decided someone should do summaries of self-development books for the “busy self-actualizer” and that that someone should be me. ☺ Enter: PhilosophersNotes. (Imagine CliffsNotes. Only shorter. And cooler. And a *lot* more inspiring. ☺) I'm currently on sabbatical in Bali working my way through two suitcases of books while I re-wire my consciousness, create the first 100 PhilosophersNotes and teach a Philosophy class at the local yoga studio.

In this episode: How do we define strengths? Who is the best judge of your strength? What do you call something you are very good at, that you don't like to do? How do you make your strengths even stronger? You are born perfect, how are you going to contribute that to the world? How to create your "strong week" plan? Listen as Marcus shows us how to amplify our strengths and make a real impression with our time here on Earth. "It is your responsibility to offer your greatest, and longest lasting contribution to life." -Marcus Buckingham About Marcus Buckingham In a world where efficiency and competency rule the workplace, where do personal strengths fit in? It's a complex question, one that intrigued Cambridge-educated Marcus Buckingham so greatly, he set out to answer it by challenging years of social theory and utilizing his nearly two decades of research experience as a Sr. Researcher at Gallup Organization to break through the preconceptions about achievements and get to the core of what drives success. The result of his persistence, and arguably the definitive answer to the strengths question can be found in Buckingham's four best-selling books First, Break All the Rules (coauthored with Curt Coffman, Simon & Schuster, 1999); Now, Discover Your Strengths (coauthored with Donald O. Clifton, The Free Press, 2001); The One Thing You Need to Know (The Free Press, 2005) and Go Put Your Strengths To Work (The Free Press, 2007). The author gives important insights to maximizing strengths, understanding the crucial differences between leadership and management, and fulfilling the quest for long-lasting personal success. In his most recent book, Buckingham offers ways to apply your strengths for maximum success at work. What would happen if men and women spent more than 75% of each day on the job using their strongest skills and engaged in their favorite tasks, basically doing exactly what they wanted to do? According to Marcus Buckingham (who spent years interviewing thousands of employees at every career stage and who is widely considered one of the world's leading authorities on employee productivity and the practices of leading and managing), companies that focus on cultivating employees' strengths rather than simply improving their weaknesses stand to dramatically increase efficiency while allowing for maximum personal growth and success. If such a theory sounds revolutionary, that's because it is. Marcus Buckingham calls it the “strengths revolution.” As he addresses more than 250,000 people around the globe each year, Buckingham touts this strengths revolution as the key to finding the most effective route to personal success and the missing link to the efficiency, competency, and success for which many companies constantly strive. To kick-start the strengths revolution, Buckingham and Gallup developed the StrengthsFinder exam (StrengthsFinder.com), which identifies signature themes that help employees quantify their personal strengths in the workplace and at home. Since the StrengthsFinder debuted in 2001, more than 1 million people have discovered their strengths with this useful and important tool. In his role as author, independent consultant and speaker, Marcus Buckingham has been the subject of in-depth profiles in The New York Times, Fortune, Fast Company, Harvard Business Review, USA Today and the Wall Street Journal and is routinely lauded by such corporations as Toyota, Coca-Cola, Master Foods, Wells Fargo, Tripp Lanier yes 29:46
