Editorial Note (Added Feb. 2026)
This episode was recorded before recent reporting connected Peter Attia and Deepak Chopra to the newly released “Epstein files” (via past communications/associations). After learning about it, I removed Outlive and The Seven Spiritual Laws of Success from my Top 10 list so my recommendations stay aligned with my personal values and the values of this show.
Updated replacements:
Instead of Outlive: Good Energy — Casey Means, MD
Instead of The Seven Spiritual Laws of Success: The Four Agreements — Don Miguel Ruiz
