“I'm a big fan of the book. It talks you through the theory. And what I've observed is even with very, very high super successful executives who come to Shopify... they end up reading the book. And they say, 'You know what? I was actually fixed mindset on all of these three things.'”

“There are a few times in life when you read a new book and realize that your life will be transformed if you follow its teachings. Peter Attia's Outlive is such a book. It can save, or at a minimum massively improve, your life. I can't imagine a better investment for 28 bucks.”
