What is said about it
8 statements, by date (the events above are the turns of the thread; these are the details).
- 2019-08-06 · Smart Passive Income + The Third Door - Monthly Favourites #11 — recommendation: Ali recommends Alex Banayan's The Third Door, a self-help book in disguise: the story of a college student who sets out to ask the world's most successful people, such as Bill Gates and Warren Buffett, what they did at his age. — 00:00:39
- 2019-08-06 · Smart Passive Income + The Third Door - Monthly Favourites #11 — Ali thinks he first heard of The Third Door on Matt D'Avella's podcast, The Ground Up Show, in a really good episode with Alex Banayan that he says viewers should listen to. (hedged) — 00:01:20
- 2019-08-06 · Smart Passive Income + The Third Door - Monthly Favourites #11 — Ali expected The Third Door to be a compilation of life advice like Tim Ferriss's Tribe of Mentors, which he calls a good book, but found it more of a storybook. — 00:01:20
- 2019-08-06 · Smart Passive Income + The Third Door - Monthly Favourites #11 — Ali's personal rating for books goes up to "really, really, really good", which a book earns only by keeping him up until 4 a.m. before a 7 a.m. start at work; The Third Door did. — 00:01:49
- 2019-08-06 · Smart Passive Income + The Third Door - Monthly Favourites #11 — Ali finished The Third Door in about two days, reading until 3 a.m. one night and 4 a.m. the next before work, which he calls probably a bit irresponsible, and loaded up on Costa coffee. — 00:01:49
- 2019-08-06 · Smart Passive Income + The Third Door - Monthly Favourites #11 — Alex Banayan (quoted): The Third Door's title compares life and business to a nightclub with three ways in: the main entrance where 99% wait in line, the VIP entrance for billionaires and celebrities, and the third door, sneaking in round the side. — 00:02:23
- 2019-08-06 · Smart Passive Income + The Third Door - Monthly Favourites #11 — Alex Banayan (quoted): According to The Third Door, Bill Gates selling his first piece of software and Steven Spielberg becoming the youngest studio director in Hollywood history both took the third door. — 00:02:51
- 2019-08-06 · Smart Passive Income + The Third Door - Monthly Favourites #11 — Ali would love The Third Door even without its life advice because it is so well written; he cried at the end, at a part where Alex Banayan asks Lady Gaga for life advice. — 00:02:51
