    Enlightenment Now is #6 on the Amazon Best Seller list: Ahead of Fire and Fury, but behind The Subtle Art of Not Giving a F*ck. (EN is very much about giving a f*ck.) https://goo.gl/roxYxq

        When is the audiobook out? As a busy dog with a company to run I need to listen to @sapinker while working out at the gym. I am paid to lead, not to read.

        I made the trip to my local Barnes & Noble for a copy this evening. Thank you for being a rational optimist about the state of our world! ... and I’ll start reading right after I grade these annotations :)pic.twitter.com/YlkmCCVbK2

        Excellent! I was under the impression that it was coming out sometime in the spring. Will pick up a copy now.

        It was originally going to come out later, but I think Bill Gates' glowing endorsement encouraged the publishers to get it out earlier.

        Six in the charts, number one in our hearts! Such a fantastic work. I'm so grateful for your hard work on these important topics. And, as always, your writing style is endlessly entertaining and informative no matter what you are writing about.

        Congrats! Enlightenment is laudable but insufficient - that is why I keep a copy of The Subtle Art of Not Giving a F*ck.

        Got my pre-order yesterday and very excited to dig in. Your labor is always appreciated and I’m feel lucky to not only live in this era, but live among thinkers like you (and even reach them through this curious platform!) Cheers.

        I am listening to the audiobook now. I need to keep pausing to research the concepts and people that you discuss. It's an ocean of knowledge and I am extremely grateful to you for bringing it to light.
