“The Code of the Extraordinary Mind will be one of the keystone books in my life”

Thank you so much for this book. It was life-changing. I grew up with some of the ideas you presented in the Code of the Extraordinary Mind, but had lost my emotional connection to them over the past couple years. Your book opened my eyes to how much my own thinking was hurting my state of being. I cannot tell you how many times your book brought happy tears to my eyes because your words resonated with me. 
The Code of the Extraordinary Mind will be one of the keystone books in my life. [...]

I've learned so much from your book that one email, or even one conversation, isn't enough to convey it all.
Perhaps one of the biggest lessons I took from your book is to stop hiding from myself and the world. With my old way of thinking, I wanted to have an extraordinary life but I didn't want the world to notice, and I've learned that those two lines of thinking don't work very well together. 
I've always been shy about sharing anything about myself with others, but it prevented me from living up to my potential and was causing me to stay in scenarios that were making me unhappy. 

Your book helped me free myself from my own mind. I also realized that a Brule I was living under was that emotions were weak. That Brule crushed my ability to enjoy life and to enjoy the simple things like how beautiful the day is. I've cried, and laughed, and smiled, and lived so much more since I've read your book than I had in the past two years. 
I even met an amazing man while I was in Italy because I changed how I thought and I returned to my emotional, joyous self.
