Rhonda Byrne's "The Secret" sold millions of copies based on a simple premise: All of science is fake and the only reason anything ever happens is because people manifest it by communicating with the universe.

In this 98th in a series of live discussions with Bret Weinstein and Heather Heying (both PhDs in Biology), we discuss the state of the world through an evolutionary lens.

In this episode, we discuss critique, and specifically dissect two negative reviews of our book—one of which, in an establishment outfit, is not really a review; the other of which, posted on amazon, is actually careful and cogent. We discuss the difference being uninformed (or scientifically illiterate), and being unwilling to be informed (scientifically resistant).  Our book is an invitation to think deeply about what we are, and how to live better lives at both the individual and societal level. We discuss new research out of New Mexico that finds evidence for people there 23,000 years ago. We discuss how history is taught, and what our actual human past has to say about different types of frontiers, including geographic, as those earliest Americans found. We discuss Roger Scruton’s essay Dying in Time. And yes, we do mention that we made the New York Times best seller list.

In this episode of The Disruptors Podcast, Rob Moore invites a diverse group of critics to have a roundtable discussion about his upcoming book. The book tackles on increasing your self-worth to improve yourself and achieve more.

Today, Rob, together with the 8 critics, gives us an overview of how they do the vigorous process of critiquing. This should be a fun discussion to discover how Rob formed the team, how the critics help Rob in the technical aspects (e.g. structure, brevity, grammar, etc.) of the book, and how they manage to collaborate all the inputs and feedback. Rob wants to make sure that it’s the absolute guide for each and every one once it is released.

KEY TAKEAWAYS

• Rob’s upcoming book is all about increasing self-worth since he wants you to think, get you changing the root of your life, and feel good about yourself. Through his experience, from business to personal, and relationships, the reader gets precious nuggets of wisdom to start self-discovery.
• Rob admits that he’s not very good with his English and grammar so to have critics read it before it lands on every fan’s hands is an important process. He wanted to make sure it’s short, concise and has good flow. He doesn’t want the quality of writing to go down since he’s been gaining a following from his previous works.
  • Rob on his writing process: “I try and pick individual issues out and give them their own section... I designed this book to be a guide you can get back to."
• Rob: If you could sum up what the book is about, what would you say?
  • “Know that you are worth more and that you are already enough.”
  • “See things as they are and not what they are.”
  • “It is just the journey of self-discovery that takes you to the process step by step from theory to examples and some little bits on what shaped you and why you behave in the past the way you do.”
  • “For anyone that ever doubted themselves, might answer get the book and read it. Get the points, get on board, and believe in yourself anymore.”
  • “It covers a wide range of different aspects of the issues relating to self-worth. If you've been in the game for a long time, they would've heard of some of these. And other parts of the book, they wouldn't have heard of because they're from you, your journey, and your take on it. It's got content for everybody.”
  • “Be aware of how your own perception can affect your reality and how much control you can have on your reality.”
  • “It goes through all aspects on what you've said that the influence is on your worth - whether that's your perceptions on what people might think of you living up to unattainable goals. But what I'm taking here the biggest is the mastery of your emotions and controlling to achieve balance in those because that's something we struggle with at every circumstance.”

BEST MOMENTS

• "Sometimes you go from strategy to strategy to strategy thinking that it's the strategies that are not working but you're the common denominator in property, forex, internet marketing, and whatever else. If you can address your self-worth and improve what you feel about yourself, then that's gonna come through in whatever business model or opportunity you do."– Rob
• "The thing is… at the moment, you look at it with great pain but then you can look at it with nostalgia." – Rob
• “One thing I've learned with a book is you can take it so far. You have to let it go because if you control everything, you'll never get it out."– Rob
