Shownotes

What role does the subconscious play in our lives? What is the most fundamental human need? Can the truth set us free?

In conversation with James, Arnold Van Den Berg shares the hardships and wisdom that shaped his remarkable life.

Born in 1939 to a Jewish family in Nazi-occupied Amsterdam, Arnold was smuggled to an orphanage as a toddler to hide from persecution. Despite a childhood filled with trauma, he overcame anger and self-doubt to become one of the most successful investors of our time.

Arnold recounts how he leveraged his subconscious mind, pursued truth relentlessly, and tapped into timeless wisdom to build a thriving investment firm after a lack of higher education. His advice goes beyond typical self-help tropes, providing deep insights into the mental frameworks and principles that helped him achieve success against all odds.

Enjoy.
