You were right when you told that we need to follow other self help teacher as you are focussed on higher things. And followed other teachers like Mark Manson (bought his courses) , Ryan Holiday- even bought a book written by him . And they genuinely improve lives if those teachings are applied after thinking. For example - to overcome adversity we must not only persist but also distinguish things that are in our control ( persist in that ) and not in our control (accept that ). Self help really improves lives. But most people underestimate self help . Majority of them spend time on reels, YouTube shorts ( I am glad you didn't release short instead the clips channel was great) while not paying attention to self help, philosophy. Movies , shorts are for time wasters and self help , philosophy is for time users. I am not saying that one must never watch movies , shorts etc but most of the time must be spend on something way greater than those ( grateful that you are upto something greater). Waiting to see you back in YouTube. Thank you.

Every now and then they troll me , insult me for watching actualized.org.They think that philosophy is just mental jerk off. Even though I am interested in science and I am studying it in my college, I will not stop on the path of self actualization, self help , pursuing philosophy to develop myself. Cause Leo taught me questioning. Thank you. Your episodes - Assumptions is the mother of all screw ups and gaslighting ones were a game changer for me. Maybe I must minimize my exposure to them. However, I am a little jealous of them that how they are able to score better marks than me without taking as much action as me. Maybe , I must focus on understanding and knowledge which will counterintuitively increase my marks. I feel anger towards them. Thank you.

Will seeing the good in negative situation as per - Obstacle is the way - help me ?

Book - Obstacle is the way by Ryan Holiday. I mostly think it is worth it. What are your opinion guys.

@UnbornTao read the full book and it was good , going to re read it.

Is it good to re read the book guys as I find it beautiful ?

Read the full book -Obstacle is the way by Ryan Holiday( Hardcopy, hardback). Looking forward to apply it - perceive the things for what they are then act rightly and finally endure, accept the world.

Right now I am going through suffering due to rejections from past. A girl rejected me and is now with someone else. I feel badly hurt. Tomorrow is my exam- what to do ?

Thank you @Yimpa and @Schizophonia.

@Bobby_2021 no cause I watch it using my laptop in my hostel room.

And also @Leo Gura will there be a video this Sunday? I am suffering due to bad marks in previous exams(even though I studied very hard). However, I took therapy and career counciling and the therapist told me to not to focus on marks but knowledge. I was able to score good marks in 1st internal test this semester but bad marks in 2nd internal and I am currently little worried for upcoming internals and exams . Any help is appreciated.

Little background: I am a college student .Pickup is not acceptable here as I live in India. Most girls call me brother and it is like a pin ingested in the brain. How do I overcome this situation ?Will Leo's How to get laid series work ?

@Someone here in Bhubaneshwar and Ranchi. Yeah that is the case @Leo Gura so, being social enough will solve the problem?

@NoSelfSelf sorry I didn't understand ?.

It's in Europe and there is 12 month mastery program. You can google Shaolin Europe .

You can view Shaolin online of shi yeng hi.

@ShardMare You can question your answers again and again by using why and how? Till when you are not satisfied with answers.

Guys, I was seeing Leo's video - How modern branding exploits you. In that video leo talks about developing detachment. So , how do I develop it so that I stop having heartbreaks and I stop caring what others are doing or saying ?

Now I think that I have found the solution to this problem by following my 1st value which is practicing autonomy - focussing on my life instead of focussing on other's life. Like not looking at couples , not looking at people who are getting intimate with their partners, not paying attention to who is talking to whom cause I cannot control other's but I can control what I do.

@Thought Art but I think that talking to girls outside of class is dangerous cause I live in India and cold approach is intolerable to many people. Once I was threatened by a girl's boyfriend whom I approached.

@Thought Art I am single but have approached many girls and faced threats rejections etc. Right now I am just talking to the girls of my class. What my problem is that I get jealous when someone else gets into a relationship. However I must face the truth is that I cannot control what other's say or do. What I can control is what I can say or do. Much love to love you @Thought Art and hope that you will do well in this domain .

@Yimpa ok thank you. By the way I must also realise that I am not responsible for what other people do and I cannot control how girls react to other boys , what I can control is how I react to girls.

@Sandy6 cause I think that he has some answers and mods also have good answers. However, I am fooling myself into giving himself my autonomy cause I am truth, I am generator of answers.

@integral I already got it broken many times.

Just wanted to ask you.
