On this week's Stansberry Investor Hour, Dan and Corey are joined by E.B. Tucker. E.B. is an
author, editor of The Tucker Letter, and investor with decades of experience in the precious
metals market.

E.B. kicks off the show by discussing the unavoidable loss of privacy in the modern era, how
societal pressures influence the lives of people of all ages, and the strength it takes to
challenge these conventional systems. As he explains, in both the real world and in the
world of finance, you need to learn to let go in order for something better to come along.
E.B. also breaks down why voting as a shareholder is so important. (1:42)

Next, E.B. recommends a few nonfinance books – one about the philosophy of happiness and
one about Yemeni coffee. He reminds listeners that life is about doing what makes you feel
fulfilled and that you should never live according to others' expectations. This leads to a
discussion about the role money plays in giving you the freedom to do whatever makes you
happy. (23:16)

Lastly, E.B. talks about his new book he's working on and how he hopes it'll make readers
reflect on their own life and learn lessons to help them evolve as people. He relates this to
financial teachings, where many readers want shortcuts instead of actually learning for
themselves and growing their techniques. E.B. emphasizes that understanding your own
relationship to an investment is the real secret to success. (40:44)
