Andrew Wilkinson is an entrepreneur, co-founder of Tiny, and an investor.

"I'll be happy when..." is the beginning of many people's mindsets about life and happiness. We assume that happiness sits on the other side of the next set of goals, even though right now we're on the other side of our last set of goals. So the question is, what if you're a billionaire? Does this pattern ever stop?

Expect to learn whether successful people are just disordered, if SSRIs aren’t actually that bad, what Andrew learned from Warren Buffett, whether there's a number you reach in your bank account to feel like you ‘made it’, why wealthy people distort reality, where to find smart people to hire for your business, how to learn to trust your entrepreneurial gut and much more...

Expect to learn what the evolutionary advantage of love is, the difference between love and lust, why women cheat and who they tend to cheat with, the role of genetics on who you find attractive, what the dark side of love looks like, whether dating apps have changed the way love and attraction works, how certain types of love can be addicting and much more...
