Summary

Welcome back to The Pretty Intense Podcast. We have the ten-time New York Times best-selling author with us today Neil Strauss. Neil's successes are many. Neil has been a lead writer for Rolling Stone Magazine. He has worked with legendary music producer "Rick Reuben" Comic genius Kevin Hart and so many more. His book "The Game" is probably the most famous pick up artist book of the century. Neil has had 2 hugely successful podcasts, "To Live & Die in L.A" & his latest podcast, "To Die For". We learn today a lot today. Neil is talking about what he has learned since the time of "The Game" and how that progressed to "The Truth." In a time when most of the world is not self aware, Neil is striving for just that. Neil is striving for the ultimate in accountability. Do we start to believe our own hype, our own story that we created in our heads, and believe it to the point of our own destruction, and the destruction of others? This is a can't-miss opportunity to unravel the mysteries of our behavior and unlock the keys to personal growth. We hope you enjoy it. Let us know what you think in the comments?
