The 53-Page Book That Consumed My Brain (So I Bought 100 Copies) | Episode 104

In this week's episode, I’m sharing why The Death of Ivan Ilych by Leo Tolstoy is one of the most powerful things I’ve ever read. It’s only 53 pages, but it forced me to rethink how I’m living, what I’m chasing, and whether I’m being honest with myself.

We’ll break down what this book is really about (spoiler: it’s not just death), how it gets under your skin, and why it might be the wake-up call you didn’t know you needed.

💡 In this video, you'll learn:

• What makes The Death of Ivan Ilych a manual for living authentically
• How Tolstoy captures the lies we tell ourselves
• Why I bought 100 copies of this book and created a course around it
