"Starving the Monkeys" was written by Tom Baugh, self-described "former Marine, patented inventor, entrepreneur and professional irritant." It's the closest thing to the Shrugging Out philosophy that I've found yet (aside from Atlas Shrugged, of course).
In this 10-minute videocast, recorded during my daily commute, as usual, I cover the key points in this challenging and occasionally disturbing book.
If you're not motivated yet to start "shrugging out", read this book, and I think you will be.
A note of thanks to Freepers: I've been amazed and humbled by how many people have watched and listened to my podcasts in the past month. It's also been very comforting. Unprecedented times are coming, terrible times, but the people who make it through safely (a high percentage of Freepers, hopefully) can and will restore America to the founding principles.
Another great podcast, Pete! I am going to have to get that book you talk about.
It’s a pretty cool book.
I’ve been enjoying them as well. Thank you for posting.
This is a great book and only half way through. I will check pod cast later.
Just recently picked up the buzz on this book. Timing is everything. Will pick it up soon.
