In this video, John pulls from a mystery box that contains books that completely re-wired how he thinks about his life, business, relationships, etc.—and discusses why "the books that write you" matter more than the books you write. From heavy-hitting theology and apologetics to the surprising power of classic fiction, we break down why reading (and yes, audiobooks count!) is an essential discipline for the modern Warrior Poet. It's time we stop wasting our mental energy on social media feeds and start sharpening our minds. 👇 GET THE FULL READING LIST HERE 👇https://www.amazon.com/shop/johnlovell275/list/2EVTKX9M93LJN?ccs_id=bdaee383-20e1-4a48-b37b-de2313731742 Chapters: 0:23 - The Mystery Box 1:30 - Do Audiobooks Count as Reading? 3:15 - The Books That "Wrote Me" 5:45 - Diving into the Fiction Stack 8:00 - The Heavy Stuff: Theology & Apologetics 11:15 - My Challenge to You: Put the Phone Down Warrior Poet WEBSITE - https://warriorpoetsociety.comTRAIN with us - https://warriorpoetsupplyco.com/train1/Books by John Lovell - https://johnlovell.comGET the WarPoet app! | Original shows, training, and much more. iPhone, Android, Amazon, Apple TV etc. https://www.watchwpsn.com Watch the Rally Point Show on the Warrior Poet appFOLLOW US: Instagram | https://www.instagram.com/warriorpoetsociety Facebook | https://www.facebook.com/warriorpoetsociety/ X | https://x.com/johnlovell275","meta_description":"Stop doom-scrolling and start building your mind.
