Bonjour friends, welcome back to the show and a very happy New Year to you all.

I hit 250,000 subscribers on YouTube, which is pretty good.

And to celebrate, I thought that I would do another Q&A episode.

So I asked for questions on Instagram and YouTube and Twitter and in the modern wisdom local community.

And yet again, there were some absolute corkers in there.

This little group of cult members that we've managed to congeal together has some very weird,

some incredibly strange but very interesting people in it.

Today, I expect to learn which five guests from the podcast I'd start a business with,

my opinion on blending a desire for improvement with happiness, what belief I hold that most people disagree with,

why thoughts are selling Bitcoin, my thoughts on the Manusphere, how I limit phone use,

why I'm ethically conflicted about growing in a stash, when me and Michael Malice will travel to Russia and much more.

Thank you to everyone who has supported the show over the last 250,000 subscribers.

You have licensed to say that you listened to modern wisdom before it was big and before it was cool.

And you were one of the first through the door, you got to listen to it in the good old days,

before he got that crazy heroin addiction and started dying his hair pink.

And made everybody refer to him as a donnis, or else he wouldn't respond to them.

You are currently living through the golden era, so enjoy it while it lasts.

One of your New Year's resolutions may have been to start reading more books,

and if that is the case, you will need some books to read, and the modern wisdom reading list is free,

and there is a hundred of my favourite books in there ready for you to consume and improve your life with.

Head to chriswillx.com slash books, you can get the entire list for free, it is available to download,

it's got links to all of the books and summaries about why I like them, fiction and nonfiction,
