"Stephen Curry: Rise of the Star" by John Emerson

Excellent!

You will not find that in a book by asking that queastion you are automatically saying ill never be something like that,no legend wrote a book about it but books were written about them...

[asifarahim]

@Eternal Unity thanks dude

 

 

@NoSelfSelf 5000 years of human history and no one worte a book about it?

Damn

[asifarahim]

@NoSelfSelf

Actually there were books in different times

Michel farady got hand on a self improvement book called improvement of the mind

Today we have many

I bet there were some super super owsome books out there

I wonder why noone has done lot of research in this field throughout history

Maybe the elites always kept this knowledge a secret

@asifarahim There are many books my point is they will take you where that person is at, so you will be his best copy but to be a legend you cant follow anyone like a book,you are on your own,best bet is to learn principles and make your own...

First define the field you want to become a legend than study all the others who had dedicated their lives to the field, check where they got it rigth and wrong. Open your mind to unseen possibilities in the field and trancend the limits you became aware about in the field. 

So, what field do you want to become a lengend?

Study with as many masters as you can.

I'm not a master and there doesn't seem to be an easy answer. So first become a master at something and then tell us about how to become one.

Wearing a realistic gorilla costume while standing in a clearing in the Pacific Northwest should do the trick.

Decide to become a pioneer in the field. Where you are the one to teach the rest of the world these new groundbreaking insights that you generate.

Make a decision to devote your entire life to it. Work passionately with love towards it every single day.

Only read books for informational reasons, not inspiration. If you truly want to be great, motivation shouldn’t even be a question. 
 

From there, go hard in the paint and never stop. You’ll have to learn to say no to many things, sacrifice a ton, become obsessive about your craft and likely seem weird to others. 
 

You have to be willing to die for this thing, like if you can’t do it, you’d rather be dead. This is how I feel about meditation
