This book by Alcoholics Anonymous came up once on Tim Ferriss in the episodes we index. That mention was a genuine on-air recommendation, not just a passing reference. The people who brought it up: Jason Portnoy. Every occurrence below links to the episode page and to the exact second it was said on YouTube.
“i wound up reading the blue book of alcoholics anonymous and that was amazing i've been meaning to read that for some time”— Jason Portnoy
The guest here is Jason Portnoy: Entrepreneur, venture capitalist, and author of Silicon Valley Porn Star. Early PayPal financial analyst, first CFO of Palantir Technologies, and founder of the VC firm Subtraction Capital (formerly Oakhouse Partners). Holds engineering degrees from the University of Colorado and Stanford. PayPal-era finance leader Jason Portnoy candidly traces his secret porn and sex addiction, marriage near-collapse, and the inner work that healed him.
