In a world obsessed with shortcuts, hacks, automation, and efficiency, we’ve forgotten something essential: becoming More requires self reflection and examination.

Welcome to Day 3 of my December campaign, Give the Gift of MORE, where each day I explore a different idea from my new book, The MORE Effect: Thriving in the Age of AI.

Today’s episode challenges the myth of effortless success popularized by the 4-hour workweek. While efficiency matters, it is not the foundation of a meaningful, examined, intentionally human life.

Socrates said it nearly 2,500 years ago:
“The unexamined life is not worth living.”
And that remains true in the AI age.

In this episode we explore:

• Why shortcuts can’t replace courage, hope, and optimism
• Why becoming More requires investment, not avoidance
• A walkthrough of the MORE Leadership Framework — 26 traits across Mindfulness, Opportunity, Relationships & Execution
• The Five Principles of MORE — the guardrails for modern leadership
• How to examine your personal “Frequency of MORE”
• Why self-reflection is the only path to true growth

This isn’t about a four-hour workweek.
This is about a lifetime of becoming — and helping others become More.

Give the Gift of MORE

If you know someone with untapped potential, someone who needs hope, belief, or direction — this book is the framework for them.
