  1. Have you watched these videos? I think they might help you (they helped me). Both are on Leo's channel. Basically, what motivated me to not be angry is how powerful (mentally strong) I can be if I don't get angry. What motivates you? I got inspired by the quote of Bruce Lee.
  2. Is there any way I can watch that video? I've been constantly checking the channel for new uploads, but somehow I missed that episode.
  3. Okay.
  4. When is it good to take a break? Considering that I can take an hour of break everyday or take a break on Saturday and Sunday. When would be good if my aim is to be more productive? Of course, I can't work continuously per se. I mean taking a "casual" break from work. Well, my plan is to work even on weekends by taking an hour of break every day. However, as you've guessed, I don't have office work on weekends but I plan to use that time to invest in myself. Do you guys have anything to say? Like the possible disadvantages of this approach?
  5. I'm not quite sure, but I think I'm loving the process. Now a days, I don't feel entertained by watching movies (though I watch movies a lot less, maybe a new movie every Sunday, that's it). I feel like learning something else in that time.
  6. @Insightful27 Thanks!
  7. Hello. Is there any binaural beats session which helps increase logic generation capabilities of my mind during programming? Do you know something that's effective?
  8. Can someone tell me the title of all the books shown as image on the books page? See the attachment. First I want to read those books before purchasing the book list.
  9. As the title says, I am trying to think in my second language(English) with a notion that I would be practicing constantly, in the way learning new vocab when try to describe new things that happen around me. So far it's been good. I sometimes fallback to my native language. As soon as I notice that I again switch back to thinking in English. However, the problem is that I find some kind of broken thoughts, that my reasoning capability is diminished. One good thing was I feel like I'm thinking in English without translating, but at the same time I feel like my thought process I broken. Anyone experienced something like this before?
  10. @Husseinisdoingfine Oh. As far as I know, Arabic is a level-5 language. How do you feel when thinking in Japanese? Do you feel like translating?
  11. @Preety_India Some people die while they're asleep. Isn't that pleasant?
  12. But how is this related to the memory issue the person is facing? Can you explain? It's is not clear to me.
  13. Have you tried Notion to take notes? Just google "Notion Note Taking". I use it. I helps me so much.
  14. When is the next actualized.org video gonna come out? Why is he inactive for such a long time?
  15. Thanks!
  16. I don't know if it's okay to this general question here. Why are there no recent uploads to the channel? It has been over a month.
  17. These I think will help you. Also, you can find the sedona method helpful as most failures are caused due to limiting thoughts.
  18. Is it man's nature to jerk off to porn or to masturbate? The habit starts in one, usually, and, if not much early, at around 18 years of age. Does the habit stop after reaching a certain age, I mean does the urges and the striving for it subside? I realized that, by contemplating, I like doing that(the jerking off). Now, after knowing that I like doing it, how do I stop doing it? Can I do something which develops dislike in me towards doing it? And @Nahm do you have anything to say about this?
  19. Hi, I've been a patient for about 7-9 years. I'm Schizophrenic(no hallucinations) and depressed due to family issues. And I'm diagnosed in 2017 and now, as far as I know, I'm in good health. However, I lack socializing skills. If I am good at something, that would be with computers. Not a hardcoder, but I know many things. However, as I said, I need help with social skills. Do you recommend any good psychology books? (apart from leo's videos)
  20. In the book, the author tells that each prisoner is numbered. It doesn't mattered whether the person is dead or alive. But why is that count(the total number of prisoners) so important, even if a dead person does them no good?
  21. @Carl-Richard @Superfluo @Gesundheit @ravlondon @Preety_India Thanks to all of you. I'm going to go out frequently from now on:)
  22. Hello actualizers, I am going to appear for an interview soon. That will be my first one. I never appeared for an interview earlier. You know, I'm frightened, which I think is normal. However, disregarding what kind of interview it is, whether a CS job related or whatever do you suggest a must read book, directly or indirectly, related to job interviews?
  23. Where do you listen? youtube?
  24. @Nahm @Leo Gura and everyone else. I am schizophrenia patient( no hallucinations) and also used medication for OCD for a few months. I suffered with it for about 9 years without even knowing and there are some reasons why I got affected by it. I will be posting a previous post where I explained everything about my past trauma. Now I am ok and my disease has cured but still there are some doubts which I want to clarify. Here I will leave the link of the previous post and I request you to read it before answering this one(thank you very much for spending your time reading all of this). Link: As far as I know, I entirely got stuck up in my head. I spent most of the time in front of a computer all my life and I have gone to school and studied well. But I have no good relationship with others. I talk to others, normally, but not much involved or socializing like many people. And after all the bad stuff happened( which I talked about in the above linked post) I somehow came across some good books like Think and Grow Rich and after a while ago I found Leo's content and I went on watching videos I liked and now after about 2 years I am feeling good that I have done some good work, atleast, after years of suffering. I am also feeling that my ego is little dissolved after many times of suicide, as I am not as close-minded as before. The problem is my brother and my father are asking me "why are you doing all this?" and they are saying that I would become picky with things later. My father said that people like Jiddu Krishnamurthi( my father saw him when I watching one of his videos and he also said he had read his book) have some good financial background and so they say many things and that he said it is a time waste to watch all of that. But I used to watch his videos about a topic whenever I felt that I need some help related to a specific problem. Also as I felt I have problems understanding the common world and since I understood that I am mistaking basic things around me, so I am working on personal development. How can I be sure that I am doing the right thing? I am very confused whether I am in the right path or not. And I don't have any form of averseness towards this work and people who do this work. I just told what opinion my father has. I wanted you to be superfrank. If you feel that I am entirely wrong, then please tell me.
  25. @Nahm Hi Nahm, I want to read JK's books. Can you recommend a good one with which I can start the journey?
