    Phenomenal podcast guys! Love listening to Mr. Bolelli then having Duncan Trussell mixed in the conversation was pure joy to listen to at work. Bought both books from Mr. Bolelli and they read great. Can’t wait for more podcasts or books from Mr. Bolleli

    I just listened to your latest podcast with Duncan and I just wanted to say thank you. My wife has been very sick over the past five years. Making working or leading an active life physical life very hard at times. Hearing you speak today about your wife help me come to peace with the hard times we are currently facing. Not only that but you help me make some hard decisions that have really been weighing on me recently. Thank you for your honesty. Thank you for being able to openly share your experiences in a way that truly captivated me and effected me at my core.
    Thank you. Thank you.

    Much love to you and your daughter.

    Your friend you haven’t met.

    I’ve been trying to comment and ‘like’ and ‘share’ as many things from your blog as possible, but my internet, much like my life, is being a real dick again! What are you gonna do, right?! My house mates and I are reading ‘On The Warrior’s Path’ and we’re all enjoying the shit out of it! We just listened to the second podcast with Duncan T. and like the first one, we totally fucking love it! You guys are great! The older I get, the more I’m learning to say: “Ah, fuck it!” It’s working, too. Every day, I count the number of fucks I no longer give, it’s awesome, I can recommend it! Thank you, D.

    Much love,

      Thank you very much for letting me know, Jeanne! I’ll be starting my own podcast in the coming weeks. Hope you like that one as well (and that your internet decides to behave by then… if not, let me know, and I’ll come by to punch your internet for you)

    Daniele,
    This is my first visit to your site…came here just after listening to your 2nd Duncan Trussell podcast. I’ve been listening to his show forever and am a huge fan…and you’re up there as one of my favorite guests. Can’t wait to hear your own podcast!
    Oddly enough, years ago, I randomly came across the 50 Things/Religion book in a bookstore and found it very interesting. Years later I find out it was you who wrote it…it’s neat how life comes full circle sometimes.

    Anyway, just wanted to say hi and tell you I greatly appreciate the way you articulate life. I’ve gone through some awful times lately…addiction/jail/financial ruin…and it got me depressed enough to be put on suicide watch at the local mental hospital. :/ If it wasn’t for hearing people like you, and Duncan, and Joe Rogan as well…expressing how you got through such times, I’m not sure I would have made it through. But, I’m learning to overcome better every day.

    I’ve actually started my own website/portal/blog/community centered around the the simple question “what is reality anyway?” and everything tangential to that. If you have a moment to check it out, I’d me much appreciative. I’ve got the site up and running but am currently working on all the content. Along with a bunch of essays and blogs I’m writing myself, I’m trying to interview everyone I can who work or teach in the various fields associated with the thesis of the site. So far, I’ve interviewed Sam Harris and Peter Russell. If the site strikes your fancy, I’d love to arrange a little interview with you. It doesn’t have to be anything time-consuming…I can just email a few questions that you can answer at your leisure.

    Anyway, enough plugging my own shit…glad I stumbled upon you. Your insight into enlightenment and well-being having a strong physical component really resonates with me…not because I currently do that…rather, I realize now that might be the key to many of the problems in my own life. I think I’ll buy your Warriors Path book to wrap my head around this idea further. Have a great day man!

    Daniele,
    First heard you on Joe Rogan’s podcast, then on Duncan’s.
    Undoubtedly, you have touched many people in these podcasts, including myself. Thank you for spreading your philosophy, and sage words.
    I also purchased your book on martial arts, and look forward to purchasing more of your works.
    Hopefully your podcast will be available on iTunes, or Stitcher.
    Thanks again for being you, and speaking your mind, and opening your heart.
    Much love to you and your daughter.
    Jesse.
