ACKNOWLEDGMENTS
In my previous books, I’ve tried to make a point of thanking not only the
people and mentors who have helped with the book, but also to make it clear
how indebted I am to the many authors and thinkers I have relied on over the
years. This book would not only not be possible without them, but I also feel
incredibly guilty that readers might credit me for insights that originated with
other, wiser writers. Anything valuable in this book came from them and not
me.
This book would not be what it is without the editing and valuable advice
of my editors Nils Parker and Niki Papadopoulos. Steven Pressfield, Tom
Bilyeu, and Joey Roth provided critical notes early on that I am very grateful
for.
I want to thank my wife, who not only helped me personally during the
writing of this book, but was my most dedicated reader. I want to thank my
agent, Steve Hanselman, who has represented me from day one. Thanks to
Michael Tunney for his help with the proposal, Kevin Currie for his help,
and Hristo Vassilev for his excellent research work and assistance. Thanks to
Mike Lombardi at the Patriots for his support and insight. Also I owe a debt
of gratitude to Tim Ferriss, whose support of my last book made this one
possible, and the same goes to Robert Greene, who helped make me a writer,
and Dr. Drew, who introduced me to philosophy. I want to thank John Luttrell
and Tobias Keller for their guidance and conversations with me during the
chaos at American Apparel. I’m not sure if I would have made it, period,
were it not for Workaholics Anonymous, both their meeting in Los Angeles
and weekly calls.
In terms of places, the University of Texas at Austin Library, the
University of California Riverside Library, various running trails (and my
shoes), and my home away from home, the Los Angeles Athletic Club,
facilitated the actual writing in this book.
Finally, would it be wrong to thank my pet goats too? If not, thanks to
Biscuit, Bucket, and Watermelon for keeping things entertaining.
