YouTube, books, forums are a distraction.

How did he develop this level of clarity and wisdom? How did he learn the ability to convey his points so well?

Live streamed videos is not listed as normal videos on YouTube? Means there are many more streamed videos one may be missing out on YouTube!

Haha the most important thing about film making is you need lots of money and good connection. Not your skills in film making. Are you a famous actor or writer? Wealthy man? Why would anyone want to do film making with you? Probably a more plausible path for him is to get a job in film making industry and then try to work his way up.

You can read these books which talk about the ego: Ego Is the Enemy Ryan Holiday. A New Earth: Awakening to Your Life's Purpose Eckhart Tolle. The Power of Now: A Guide to Spiritual Enlightenment Eckhart Tolle.

Christianity is on a decline in many European countries. Even though I don't live in those countries, I will be more worried about the decline than any cringy videos they put up to evangelize more people. Christians, in general, are not harmful because they love God and love people.

You can take vitamin B6. It helps provide you with more energy.

Depends on who you vibe with. Some people like Mooji, some like Leo

It depends on how self sufficient the lady is. Obviously if the lady does not have income and savings, then she will look at you more as a provider.

You can focus on why you want to do stand up. Is it because you want to grow as a comedian. Or do you want to give laughter to the world. Or both. The reasons are important. What if you don't become one? You can then focus on the pain of not becoming one and the benefits of becoming one.

Your backwards part is wrong. Just saying. Most people think they need to have something before they will then do.

It depends on what you want in your professional career. Most of the top CEOs or CFOs or even normal managers have uni degrees or even higher certifications so if you are aiming to achieve a high position in a big multi national companies, then you should go get a degree for a start. If you are confident of making it on your own or that you can start a company and make your own money, then you may not need a degree.

In other words, at what age do you think you will die? Why?

Mindset gets thrown out of the window if you have disease and have a lot of pain. The pain will take over your mind mostly.

The issue is your purpose or passion may not pay you enough!

They are all similar practices but it's harder to go deep on shadow work or letting go and may even produce undesirable results. There are some things that are not really possible to let go. For example, you may have a disease in your body (say hepatitis) or you have a severe back pain or something. You try to let it go? Does it disappear? Probably you can let go of some emotions but not the pain. Your thoughts might even be reinforced if you keep thinking about the diseases and pain. You probably should practice some forms of accepting (which is also like letting go).

Why so many bad advices? Doing health isn't better than having health. If you have Aids and cancer and varieties of other diseases, doing health isn't going to help much. In essence, you should be healthy first. Not trying to do health only when you are sick. Health for well being > health for health's sake. Imagine if your body craves for something but you ignore it. For health's sake, you decide to go vegan. You ended up cooking over fried veg with unknown sauces and preservatives added to them. How healthy can you be? Of course, another would be following societal norms like drinking 8 glasses of water daily. That's for health sake but maybe your body needs less water. You should listen to the body.

Not sure why. I keep having a nagging feeling that I won't live till 80. So how long do you feel that you can live to?

Buy Microsoft 365. You get free Microsoft office usage online, free space on email and onedrive. Not free though. 🤣

Most human success is self perceived success. Like for example, you become a manager and now you worked longer hours before that and you faced great stress and now you have to face even longer hours and stress. You may have become more wealthy and now drive a car. You may think you become successful but look at how much damage you have already done to your body?

Haha 7 habits is long winded and most of the advices are common knowledge these days. Like who doesn't know you need to set goals and sharpen yourself? But I do agree S.Covey write very well. Since you already read Cal Newport, you know finding your passion is terrible advice, then work on something else. One part of life is to earn lots of money so that you feel financially secured or better.

Both are excellent books! But the advices may be a bit cliched or outdated. For example, in the book, he will tell you to model other successful people or to walk powerfully. These advices may sound like common sense now but 30 years back not everyone knows about them. He also wrote and talk in a convincing way which is good for changing your mindset.

Go read awaken the giant within. Not the fake 1.5 hour audiobook you found on YouTube.

Tony's content is more than just NLP. He taught NLP around 20 to 30 years ago. Back then, internet was not so easily accessible and teaching that is an efficient way of getting someone out of the rut. Go read his full book. Not the abridged audiobook found on YouTube.
