experimentally doing some surgeries on people's nerves in their neck and he had some successes in curing this problem. I hunted him down. I went to his office. I got the surgery after a lot of research. And it doesn't work for everybody. Not every person who has the surgery gets the good result. Most get an improvement but they don't all get a full improvement. It took working on my voice every day. Four years after the surgery, it's been a number of years, every single day my voice improved because I worked at it. I worked on my breathing. I worked on my tone. I took everything that I learned before the surgery about how to produce good vocal quality and you see me doing right now. I'm speaking in what's called the mask of my face.

So I said to reality, reality I reject you. I reject you. I'm not going to have an incurable voice problem. I'm going to be the first person who cures it. And then I did. Now I wasn't the first person. It turns out there were some people I didn't know about. But most of the world who has this problem still has it. I would say 95 percent of all the people who have the same voice problem I had still have it. They still have it. They have it still.

So no I can tell you more stories that are similar to that. Somebody said did prayer play a part? It did not. No I'm not a believer. I'm very pro-religion but I'm not a believer personally. I think religion is a great filter on the world for a lot of people and objectively speaking it's just obvious.

Somebody says so far I've lost 89 pounds. I think you're referring to using a system for weight loss that I talked about in "How to Fail at Almost Everything and Still Win Big." And a lot of people have been writing to me and telling me that they had lost massive amounts of weight. They got promotions. They doubled their pay. And all of it is the same phenomenon. It's people who have decided, people who have decided that the reality that they were handed they reject. They just rejected it. They said no I'm not going to take the reality I'm handed. I'm going to make my own.

And there's another 140 pounds down. Just look at the comments. Somebody lost 89 pounds and somebody who lost 40 pounds just following a simple system. The name of the book is "How to Fail at Almost Everything and Still Win Big." If you just Google my name on Amazon all the books will pop up. 50 pounds. 30 pounds. Oh my god look at all the people in the comments who have lost some. Somebody gained weight. Somebody lost 20, 23 pounds in 30 days. Holy cow. Another 40-pounder. 42 pounds. 10 pounds. Oh my god abs at 33. Somebody got their abs going. Somebody quit smoking, lost 25 pounds. Somebody lost 80 pounds. John do you really John you lost 80 pounds? It's amazing. 50 pounds. Look at the comments. Somebody gained 50. I don't think those people were using the system. Somebody lost 40 pounds. Are keeping it off years later. The keeping it off is the best part. 12 pounds closer to having abs. And for age 48 up my pay by $50,000. These are in the comments. If you're watching this later on YouTube you won't see the comments.

Somebody says they tried to lose 150 pounds. Parenthetically my girlfriend. Somebody does 300 push-ups during my Periscope every day. That's the system. That is a heck of a good system. So my compliments. So somebody hears that they exercis
