I tend to approach personal growth books written by 20-somethings with a fair amount of skepticism. My thinking is, what could someone who’s spent less than half as much time on earth as me possibly have to teach me, much less the rest of the world? Well, while I can begin my journey as a skeptic, I’m open-minded enough not to stay there too long should the situation warrant. Such is the case with today’s guest, Thane Marcus Ringler. Let me just say that Thane is wise beyond his years. I mean that. I was taken aback by the way this guy thinks as I read his new book. That new book, by the way, is From Here to There: A Quarter-Life Perspective on the Path to Mastery. If I’d had Thane’s level of self-awareness when I was his age, I’d probably already have served my two terms as president. 😉 Seriously, do yourself a favor and read this book (and check out today’s episode).
