Ninety percent of the feedback I got about my last book, Choose Yourself, had people asking for one thing: how to bridge harsh reality with the world of imagination. That is, how to become an Idea Machine. It wasn’t an easy process for me. For my whole life I felt like a stray dog, dashing around until I could survive in the jungle. I was dead on the ground. I was broke. I was separated. I was fired. I was scared and lonely. Everywhere I looked, I couldn’t believe people knew how to smile. They were faking it, I thought. It took a long time for me to get it—but now I get it.

In Choose Yourself! I describe the first tiny steps I took to get off the ground. Well, actually, the second, because the first were horribly embarrassing: I pretended to be a psychic on Craigslist just so I could make friends. But let’s ignore that. I was lonely and just needed to reach out into space. Specifically, my second step was that I tried to improve physically, emotionally, mentally, and spiritually, just a little bit each day.

I followed the one percent rule: improve one percent each day, in each of these areas of life.
They are all equally important. If you sit on a four-legged chair, you are firm on the ground. Use a three-legged chair, and a strong wind will blow you over. Any less than that, you’ll fall easily. Something I realized during this process: ideas are the most valuable currency of our time. Nothing else.
