"I sacrificed everything to do my writing" - Steven Pressfield said it in his first appearance on The James Altucher Show back in 2016, I didn't pursue the statement then.

And now, Steven Pressfield, an American author of historical fiction, non-fiction, and screenplays, and also the author of one of my favorite books, The War of Art, comes on again to talk about this new book/ novel, MAN AT ARMS! This time, I used this opportunity to pursue the statement that he made in 2016. What does he mean by sacrificed everything to do his writing? On top of that, we also talked about character writing, development, film, and also how do you find the "CODE" that you want to live by!

Facts Don't Matter! Over the past year, people are either on this side or another, and they're so into their own beliefs, it's almost impossible to have a reasonable and proper conversation with either side! Do you remember all the impossible conversations that you had with your family or friends? It's always unproductive and doesn't lead anywhere!

In this episode, I have Peter Boghossian, an American philosopher, pedagogist, and author, on to talk about the techniques of talking to people that he described in his book, How to Have Impossible Conversations: A Very Practical Guide.
