One last tip: Set your current book as your phone's lock screen, as a reminder of how you'd rather spend your time. (Here's mine...) 13/pic.twitter.com/ubmcyli3cN

I'm... conflicted. The material is SUPER interesting (to me), but the delivery leaves a lot to be desired. Have you seen any of his talks?
