Kamal Ravikant: Love Yourself Like Your Life Depends On It! (#138)

Kamal Ravikant has trekked to one of the highest base camps in the
Himalayas, earned the US Army Infantry patch, walked 550 miles
across Spain, lived in Paris, and bungee jumped out of a perfectly
good hot air balloon. Kamal is the only non-black, non-woman member
of the Black Women’s writers’ group. Mr. Ravikant won a San
Francisco-wide modeling contest, gotten drunk on the same barstool
as Hemingway, co-founded a company with the guy who wrote the first
browser, and been fortunate enough to work with some of the
smartest investors and engineers in Silicon Valley. Kamal has
written 3 books, the latest, Love Yourself Like Your Life Depends
on It, went viral. Amazing people all over shared it online and on
social media. They bought copies for friends and family. They wrote
heartfelt reviews. For some, this book literally saved their lives.
For others, it was the first time they ever loved themselves.
