Ken Wilber is pretty underrated in academia. One of the best philosophers of all time.

@Leo Gura Truly, but Awake Philosophy is quite another beast, isn't it?

[Girzo]

@Davino Ken Wilber is a philosopher thinking about 'awake' topics, yes.

He's my favorite. Leo wiuld be favorite if he had released any new video content

Leo needs to publish a book at least, it's a facet he is missing if he wants to consolidate his legacy and work

Books from Ken WIlber will continue to inspire people for decades in a way that videos just cannot.

Also a book seems more serious for the social eye, more than being a youtuber posting content on social media

Books involve a ton of work but no financial gain.

[Wyeth]

@Leo Gura no financial gain? Really? Feel like you could sell a lot of copies depending how you brand Leo

[Leo Gura]

A video course earns 10x-100x more than a book.

Thank you.

I also add you to my list of underrated philosophers of our time

No corruption here or anything in my selection process

A book gives more status and positioning in the niche.

And most self-help authors nowadays just publish to build a brand, make noise in the marketplace with the intention of charging premium in the back-end (videocourses, retreats, 1-1, speaking gigs...)

For most the book is just the front end offer.

No need to think about it, the proof is in the pudding.

Exactly.

And I have no interest in writing that type of book. Such books are not worth reading.

Such books are hardly even written by the so-called author. They are just marketing ploys.

Half of modern books are a grift.

Is financial gain your objective? I don't think you would write a book for the money. Books are not for that.

A book format gives value in a way that videos never will, you yourself has said this multiple times.

A book will give you credibility and put you in the awareness of another kind of public and minds.

Good books are respected in themselves and become their own reality. For example: "Gödel, Escher, Bach" a book of extreme philosophical, mathematical, artistical and musical depth won the Pulitzer price for a totally unkown writer. Writing a thought-provoking book, I believe, will give your teachings a dimension that is necessary for your legacy. If you were to take my advice, I would write a book as something to do before dying. Even if you just have it in your drawer and is published after your death.

No, but why should I do things that lose me money?
