[marker squeaking] Hi, this is Brian.

Welcome back to another Philosopher's Notes TV.

Today we've got another great book, Transcend, subtitled The New Science of Self-Actualization by Scott Barry Kaufman, PhD.

This is a phenomenal book.

We've got a handful of ideas we'll look at together today.

We've got the Philosopher's Note, in which I unpack those ideas, connect them to other brilliant thinkers, et cetera, and help you, most importantly, apply the wisdom to your life today.

You can get a free copy of this note.

Check out the link in the show notes.
