About this listen

 #1 INTERNATIONAL BESTSELLER • 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.

“If you care about your success, you have to read The Third Door.”—Tony Robbins, entrepreneur, bestselling author, philanthropist, and the nation’s #1 life and business strategist

The Third Door takes readers 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 ninety-nine 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 a hundred 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.

If you dream of learning under the wings of world-class mentors, achieving your biggest goals, or just transforming yourself into the person you always imagined you could be, The Third Door gives you the tools you need—so you can get what you want.

Dear Alex,

Your story brought, joy, laughter and tears to me while reading it. Thank you for sharing your story. I just finished listening and I am still crying from the last chapter.

I know it's been 2 years but I would still like to offer my sympathies.

Thank you

I may not be his target audience(as I'm 40) but it inspired me many times.

An inspiring tale.

Very interesting, and at times inspiring. Books like these make me question if I should be doing more to pursue my dreams. Alex showed us that it doesn’t matter how old you are, all that matters is drive, hard work and persistence. #Audible1

I loved this book more every chapter that I listened to. So much, that for once in my life, I’m actually writing a book review. It lifted me up and exhilarated me along Alex’s journey with his triumph’s, made me cringe with his emails, and brought me to tears with his beautiful and painful moments. For the first time, I feel like I’ve read something that was speaking the language of my generation and answering the questions I didn’t even know I was asking. Thank you Alex! Thank you for opening my mind to possibility and the Third Door.

P.S. Thank you for narrating your own book, italways impacts so much deeper when the author reads their own book and you can hear the emotion as the book is read the way it was written.
