Optimized Life

I feel like looking for "More books" on the topic is just avoiding time spent applying the concept. Leo Explained it pretty well. But it's gotta be a muscle that you build I reckon, so far I only understand it via massive experience of doing the inverse (Rigidity) , and then tracing the consequences of that and how it made me stuck ... of course Watching leos blog and seeing summary notes of it, helped me gain this awareness. My next step is to actually apply the concept more and get a taste of the results. "How could I use more requisite variety in my life?" >> Let your mind fill in the blanks. Or : "In what ways am I being rigid/repetitive in my life?" "What alternatives am I overlooking?" "How is my paradigm/lens/outlook on my problem limiting me?" It seems like a concept which only has meaning when applied to your unique problem and circumstances.

Take the good, leave the bad ... Andrew Tate is the type of guy I need when I'm feeling demotivated, complaining about my life or doing minimum wage jobs. He has such a strong internal locus of control and self - discipline, he's probably barely read a self help book but he gained that through discipline since a young age. He is enjoying himself and he has many of the things I want : Discipline, charisma, money, freedom, masculinity ... He escaped the matrix. However, I wouldn't carelessly recommend him because young impressionable guys who can't think for themselves might blindly internalise and agree with everything he says ... which would be a bad thing. Like 60-70% of His view on politics, and family are wrong. About 50 - 70% of his attitude on women are completely wrong and toxic. Having said that, I'm not judging the guy, I'll just learn what I need from him ... Take the good, leave the bad. The funny thing about Andrew Tate is ... It would be wrong to cancel culture or completely dismiss this guy, he's got something going, he as leader qualities, he's funny he's charasmatic. I also resonate highly with his perspective on escaping the matrix, getting multiple passports, becoming your own man ect... He's clearly a leader and helping others escape that want it, it's shame he also has so many stupid ideas though ... If he just a bit more self awareness he could at least let the clearly toxic parts of himself die out ... and he'd just be all raw value. Yet ideology stubbornly persists and much of his mental energy is consumed by that nature of him.

Remove Coffee from that sentence. Coffee ages your skin. Coffee makes you sweaty and dehydrated. Coffee ruins sleep, increases cortisol, reduces creativity. It's time we all stop promoting coffee in the self help world. Huge social matrix trap. Trying to quit myself ... my life will improve dramatically.

Only YOU can decide what's a waste of time ... Not Leo, Mr guru, Tony Robins, Obama, Trump ... your mum, best friend. Real self help is just ... obtaining what YOU want right? Can it really be anything else? We all want different things, we're all different.
