  1. Books are just 1 medium, and plenty of successful people don't read . I remember Gary vee said he didn't read a single book. Also hormozi said he only read a couple b4 he said he thought they were not that valuable. He learned thru mentors and being in a business tho I do think books have great value but there are like a dozens ways to learn Interviews, podcasts, videos, mentors, courses etc.
  2. The *sheer* amount of limiting beliefs I notice within people when regarding dating is crazy Succeeding in dating is the same as anything else Root cause -> probably lack of systemic support What are solutions: Challenging limiting beliefs Affirmations + visualizations, building a good self image Journalling Self esteem work, trauma work Good support system
  3. Maybe this channel might change your mind of bad victims https://youtube.com/@SoftWhiteUnderbelly
  4. @The Redeemer you probably wont get that same attention but the plus is that there are priveleges to be a man as well Though, with a large social media following, or building a network where you have status/value, that will probably replicate it

  9. According to the book, many greens don't like spiral dynamics bc the model looks like its in a hierarchy (but it's not really, it's more of a map) There's a story Don beck writes in the book about this. I agree with the point tho, treating it as a hierarchy would be a trap
  10. It seems like You can systematize improvement Strategize -> do -> reflect on results -> make new adjustments (improving strategy) -> repeat 9/10 insight Would like some high level insights on socializing now ?
  11. he's not a chess champion tho just a correction. his chess.com rating is only 1600 according to google. which is pretty good but it's in the realm of the average person also apparently his wealth was apparently significantly inflated. i think he claimed 100m but court showed his net worth was like 10m. and that was after his fame (like after his hustler university) his house in romania is only worth 600k that being said yeah still decent accomplishments, for the average person lol
  12. Some good tips here I like affirmations + visualizations as well. It's definietely a theory and skill on learning to use these Reading a page of inspirational work, and reminders has helped me Also writing a list of accomplishments has helped me. I wrote one recently, and that helped me a ton. Wins def create a snowball effect Also, challenging and letting go of trauma beliefs can help too You can also create a video compilation of inspirational clips.

  16. An insight when picking food to eat from the grocery store. The marketing can be deceptive, there is a certain amount of gambling when buying food. The perception =/= reality Also the same when finding therapists == Most of everything i want seems to lie on the otherside of my limiting beliefs
  17. @ivankiss hm thrres def a correlation, but *need* is a strong word though https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Creativity_and_mental_health#:~:text=There are cases that support,present for creativity to exist.

  24. Limiting beliefs are very pervasive We are limitless as human beings But our beliefs can hold us back. They can make us think something isn't possible, as if that is reality Limiting beliefs can stem from trauma Trauma can be healed through trauma work. Such as trauma focused cbt, mindfulness, somatic work like letting go, inner child work
