I have read all 3 Neothink books.
I took the Neothink information and launched my own business and went from a $36,000.00 a year carpenter in the union to making well over $100,000.00 my second year in business.
I have read all 3 Neothink books. Before reading your books I was the ultimate Neocheater who was out to destroy my own life. I had brief moments in my life where I thought for myself, but I was following others in every aspect of my daily life. All that changed when I took a trip to Europe after receiving your first book. I was on a cruise to Rome, and took your book along to read on the long flight to Rome from California.
To tell anyone the truth, I was on a cruise to see the history and great accomplishments of mankind. What happened as I read your book was that I realized that I was going to see the tomb of mankind's greatest accomplishments. I went to the Vatican in a frame of mind that was not what I was in when I left. Anyone who reads your books will have to wrestle, as I did, with everything they had ever believed.
To be fair, my testimonial means nothing unless you read the Neothink books. I followed up by reading all of Ayn Rand's books, Julian Jaynes's book, and my own county hero, Jack London. I read Martin Eden for the first time. I looked at the world for what it is for the first time. I began to think and live for myself for the first time. I have to admit, I was very wary of this new-found insight.
I took the Neothink information and launched my own business, and went from a $36,000 a year carpenter in the union to making well over $100,000 my second year in business. I saw through the illusions created by the media, the TV, everything I was raised to follow as truth. I joined your Neothink Society, but have never met any of them personally. I want to bring out the changes, but I have been so busy winning in a seemingly broke world that I do not join as I wish I could, expounding to a broad public telling of the value of these books. So far I have shared the books with my brother, who offered to have them leather bound. He is, as I am, wondering like someone who has seen an alien encounter, struggling on how to express this vision to the rest of the people we know.
I will one day meet you. I will talk to you as one of your first apprentices, the 12-month students who listened to every one of your webcasts and trainings. I really can say that the best education is the one you live by, and after reading your Neothink books, I will never have to do more than use my mind, even alone, for the work you put into your books lives in me, as a function no less important than my heart and lungs. I traverse my daily life with Neothink as an armor that protects me from life's traps and illusions.
I enjoy my wife, my children, and the life of the value creator. It was in me all along, but your books helped me understand what a lifetime can take. I will have your books on my desk, to look for the answers when I do not have an answer. Thank you for what you have done with your life.
