The Third Door

The Mindset of Success

De: Alex Banayan

Narrado por: Alex Banayan

Forbes #1 Career Book to Read in 2018

The National Best Seller

The larger-than-life journey of an 18-year-old college freshman who set out from his dorm room to track down Bill Gates, Lady Gaga, and dozens more of the world’s most successful people to uncover how they broke through and launched their careers.

The Third Door takes listeners on an unprecedented adventure—from hacking Warren Buffett’s shareholders meeting to chasing Larry King through a grocery store to celebrating in a nightclub with Lady Gaga—as Alex Banayan travels from icon to icon, decoding their success. After remarkable one-on-one interviews with Bill Gates, Maya Angelou, Steve Wozniak, Jane Goodall, Larry King, Jessica Alba, Pitbull, Tim Ferriss, Quincy Jones, and many more, Alex discovered the one key they have in common: they all took the Third Door.

Life, business, success...it’s just like a nightclub. There are always three ways in. There’s the First Door: the main entrance, where 99 percent of people wait in line, hoping to get in. The Second Door: the VIP entrance, where the billionaires and celebrities slip through. But what no one tells you is that there is always, always… the Third Door. It’s the entrance where you have to jump out of line, run down the alley, bang on the door 100 times, climb over the dumpster, crack open the window, sneak through the kitchen—there’s always a way in. Whether it’s how Bill Gates sold his first piece of software or how Steven Spielberg became the youngest studio director in Hollywood history, they all took the Third Door.

Highly Recommend

What a great book this was to listen to on my commutes to and from work. While I do not typically choose books of this nature, I was drawn to download The Third Door after hearing Alex on The Rich Roll podcast; and, I am so glad I did!

The story had me crying and laughing along and each chapter only seemed to get better than the last, which is impressive considering who all was interviewed along his journey. I can’t recommend it enough and hope you will gain as much from it as I have!

One book I recommend to abolutely everyone!

I loved the Third Door from the moment I started listening to it. I loved the fact that I actually got it as an audiobook rather than an actual book as it is so well narrated by the author himself. It is through his narration that you get a deeper attachment and connection to the story, that makes you want to root for Alex and his adventures.

I am going to get a print version of it next, just so I can really get into all the nuggets of knowledge and highlight and bookmark everything I found useful and applicable in my life.

Best Audio Book Ever!!!!

Oh wow!

I just finished the audio version of The Third Door and I’m crying, laughing and cheering for Alex as he told such page turning story.

More please. More books like these please 🙏🏼

Thank you. Thank you. Thank you.

My husband made me read it.....now I'm crying.

WOW. I took a less conventional way of making my life what it is, but I still consider my path the 2nd door....now I sit here in tears....pondering how I can sneak out the window to enter through a 3rd door. Take a chance and read this book....or listen...whatever....and I promise you will take something from it. I have a feeling everyone will take a different piece of his journey to heart and learn or possibly grow from it.

This book was made for me and my souls vision

This book I through in 1 day I couldn't stop it. The further and further I got into it the more it spoke to my soul and resonated deep within me and made me know that my mission i have (different than this) is one worth doing.
I dont feel anything in life happens by chance but this is one worth pursuing
Thank you alex I know Ill be sending you an email for sure over this for sure. What an unreal story and I was in tears at the end

If you are young, hungry and open minded you have to read this

I just finished listening to the audible version of this book and I’m blown away. I seem to get about an hour into a book and know when it’s for me and when it’s not. I’m extremely busy so I don’t like wasting much time on books I don’t sincerely connect to, but Alex wrote a book that is beyond anything I’ve read in a while. The ups and downs, the lessons and rejection is what makes this book so candid and so relatable. As many entrepreneurs do, hitting wall after wall after wall is reality of the path we’ve chosen, but it’s that reality that makes the few who choose to seek for the third door. ( no pun intended )... I can’t say enough about how great of a read this is and what a HUGE source and tool it’s been for me.

Refreshing slap in the face for entrepreneurs!

Just be yourself, know that sometimes you must pivot into a different strategy, and never stop believing in yourself! Great book Alex! Thank you brother!

AMAZING

I'm in high school, trying to figure out what I want to do with my life, and until now, I hadn't realized that no matter what it is I would like to do, it isn't just going to be placed in my hand. I have to work hard for it, and for that, I am truly grateful. Thank you for all that you've done, Alex!!!!!
