    @The Alchemist The problem that I find is that I don't want to be wasting precious time and I don't know whether the stress is being intensified by my own ego in order to maintain homeostasis, because Personal Development does require enormous change. However the fact that I'm worrying so much about this may be unnecessary and I should just wait for time when my workload has calmed in order to do this stuff. It's so hard to know for sure :S

    Corey Wayne gives awesome relationship advice; I love the guy--he's great. I highly recommend this book.

     

     Just have to mention, he will occasionally mention some BS science. Vibrational alignment is not an actual quantum physics phenomena; it's pseudo-science that gets too much attention, partly due to some fake Einstein quotes.

    I found this as well, but I usually use it as a metaphor as opposed to actual science and it can be useful if you don't take those things that he says at face value. Vibrational alignment isn't quantum physics but it's a good metaphor to use for the fact that the "energy" that you feel about yourself and the world is the "energy" that you then get back from the world, which even if it isn't completely true, it's a good mental state to be coming from.

    Well hey. So here we are. The beginning of the story. The call has arrived. I feel like the excuses can no longer be applied. I'm 19 now and even though none of my friends and family are really on this journey with me. I can make it alone. 

    I have struggled in so many aspects of my own life in areas where I have wanted massive results. My productivity is still pretty poor, laziness and procrastination are still an issue but I'm absolutely determined to iron this stuff out in order to get first class results in my life. My sex life and dating life have become so much better recently, I joined the gym last year and have been training for about 12 months now and I feel so much better about my appearance and my options with women have drastically improved from the pitiful scarcity that I once had, however I still want to improve this further as I am not a 3% man yet (see Corey Wayne). I want to become enlightened too and even though I am not fully informed on the subject yet, I am fully behind the idea of the dissolution of the self and ego as my emotions have always been another area which I have struggled which brings me onto my next point. Emotional mastery is another area which I plan on focusing on during this lifelong journey. I don't have anger management or depression but I do struggle in this area with jealousy, envy and neediness, this must be sorted out because I cannot live a fulfilling life with this awful debilitating attribute. Finally the most important issue that a lot of people my age are facing, purpose. I want to find my life purpose mainly for the fact that I want to love what I will eventually do. But also I want to find something that I will not fall out of love with, this has been a trend throughout my whole life. I fall in love with something. I fall out of love with it or become disenchanted with it. I need purpose and direction in my own life to make me want to live, make me love life and make me want to wake up every day to work. 

    I have bought a lot of books to help me on this journey, which are mostly on Leo's book list. I have today read "Mastery" by George Leonard. Which I loved but I think it is a book that I will definitely have to read multiple times in order to get the full benefit out of it. One of the most interesting things about Leonard's book which has made me really think about the ways I have been doing things is that I need to "love the practice". I find this to be an extremely difficult task especially because I have so many previous negative mindsets about studying, asking girls out at risk of rejection, cardiovascular exercise, meditation and even reading to some extent. However, while making a meal earlier, I did try to "feel the process" and not focus on the outcome of the process and it was something quite strange but nice. I didn't worry about the fact the meal took time to make and I actually enjoyed it, just my bodily movements were enough to keep me occupied and I also ended up making the meal much quicker than I would've previously so if nothing else then Leonard has proved his work to me in that way.

    I am struggling massively to balance Personal Development and my university work, especially because I am really trying to get a first-class degree, I feel like I need to undertake massive change and that is fucking scary, I can't lie. I want the change but I don't know how I'm going to handle it when I'm already under enormous stress. I feel like it might need to be something that I need to pace myself with, equally I don't know whether that's my ego resisting change, its so hard to tell. 

    Anyway, those are my thoughts this week, if anyone has any suggestions or thoughts then please feel free to say them, any help in this area would be massively appreciated since this is pretty much the only place that I'm going to get it haha :)

    The 3% Man by Corey Wayne

    Corey Wayne has been someone who I have followed for about a year before I read his book and his videos were always fascinating to me and during almost all of his videos where he discussed success stories he would always say "it's because he's read the book 10-15 times". This always puzzled me and eventually, due to my own failure with women and relationships, I gave in to my curiosity and bought the book.

    This book on the cover looks like a frankly disgustingly cliched book of pick-up techniques and sayings to use on women. I don't know how this could be further from the truth. As a follower of Corey for 12 months I thought "there's no way he could have written such shit" and he didn't let me down. This book has completely revolutionised the way that I look at sex, dating, the genders, relationships, my own purpose and even down to what do I really value in myself and other people. I cannot explain in a review how powerful this book really is.

    "The 3% Man" is a book that should be regarded as the go-to book for how to deal with attraction, dating and relationships. Corey Wayne doesn't teach techniques, he teaches what he calls "the fundamentals". He stresses that the whole "pick-up" act doesn't work as you cannot be your authentic self which was certainly one of my fears when I knew I was struggling with women. 

    I want to keep this review short as I would like to see you guys who are struggling out there check this book out for yourselves :D . I would like to add a warning to this review however, do not bother reading this book if you're going to "half-ass" it. There are quite often links to Corey's other work (e.g. YouTube video, article etc.) which explain the things that he is talking about in the book in greater detail, these can often come in large chunks, so the reading process can take a long time. Also you must read the book 10-15 times! I cannot stress this enough, I'm on my second reading and I'm seeing results here and there but everyone who I have seen who has benefited from this book has been a good student who has studied this book repeatedly and in depth. If you're willing to do that however then you will find attraction, dating and relationships completely effortless. 

    I've left a link to his YouTube channel as well as an image of the book (so you see what I meant earlier:P). I would highly recommend this book to any man who wants to improve his dating life or relationships or to any women who are looking to understand themselves better or even to learn about the behaviours that should be happening for a healthy and fulfilling relationship to develop. Become a 3% man. 10/10
