Want to attract greater happiness, health, success, wealth and love into your life? Then this interview with self-love expert and Silicon Valley entrepreneur Kamal Ravikant author of the runaway bestseller Love Yourself Like Your Life Depends on It, is for you!
Kamal wasn’t always a self-help expert. He was a successful tech start-up expert until the last company he started completely blew up. He lost friends, investors, his savings, his health, determination, and everything he had. Depressed and dejected, he holed himself up in bed in a dark room, saying “feeling depressed was on my better days”.
But then one day, he couldn’t take it anymore, and crawled to his journal, where he made a sacred vow with himself. That vow would transform his life, and the lives of countless others.
His life rebounded, his health took off, relationships improved, and even his finances dramatically turned around.
Then he wrote a book on it which became an overnight sensation!
In this inspiring interview you’ll learn about his sacred vow, how me made it, kept it, and his secret to transforming your life.
You’ll leave with the tools you need to make each moment magical and with a beaming ear-to-ear smile!
