Billion: How I Became King Of The Thrill Pill Cult
A billion dollars in sales, or was it 350 million? Who was really keeping track, anyway? From underground raves and Hollywood parties to run-ins with organized crime and going toe-to-toe with the US government itself, in this unbelievable autobiography, Shaahin Cheyene tells the often-bizarre story of how one rags-to-riches teenager commandeered the rising tide of music, money, and drugs in Venice Beach, California in the 90s to become...

What a journey of self discovery this guy had! Trie a teacher and healer!
What my 👂 heard 👇
It was a formative book for me
What level of wealth do you aspire to?
The chasm that existed between us doesn't yawn even wider
Beat deattached from outcomes in 2023
Our chief want in life is somebody who will make us do what we can
Once you learn knowledge you will develop the courage to take action
Three steps to get anything done
I don't sell products I sell solutions
By showing up you give opportunities a chance to find you
Infinitely more sexy
The truth to money is having some book
The most dangerous thing is being comfortable enough
Look at the world and be satisfied
You're never free until you're disengaged
I'm just an eternal spirit slashing a body around
I drink coffee and a door opens to another world
The whole function of having money is to use it
You don't own anything you're only borrowing it from God and one day he's going to want it back
Be careful with your dialogue for this morning
The best form of self-defense is your feet
All anger comes from a feeling of loss
How do I get to the bottom of these issues within me?

I love a rags to riches story as long as it's original.
This boy is a teenager, homeless, and still manages to create a 300M a year business.
He was NOT donating much of the money and I believe this led to problems, karmically. He overdosed on shrooms. If you can connect the dots, you can walk away with some powerful lessons.
It seems this naive kid lost his business to: promiscuity, drugs, or hoarding. Life isn't that complex but self-help books seem to steer away from where the real problems lie.
