  1. Safety isn't the first level. Survival needs (air, food, water and shelter) is the most basic level.
  2. Depends on what is self actualization and how the person actually defines it.
  3. Tony Robbins mentioned he read 700+ books in his younger time. He shut himself in a library and went on to become a successful life coach. 1 book a week is certainly enough but why limit yourself as he always said? If you are free, you can always read more books on certain days so that your time is free up for next week/month. And you can certainly read 2-5 books per week. And of course carry out the actions too!
  4. Most self help materials aren't that awful. If you can take 3-5 new nuggets of wisdom from each book, it will still be good for you. Even the worst books can give you insights such as 'Don't write something people already know' or 'how to not write a self help book'.
  5. Well it depends on what you are doing. Obviously playing a piano vs doing a sale for example are two different things. Do you want to fail a $10000 sale first, then only read after you fail? Or do you want to prepare well by reading up on books on sales and your product first?
  6. Personally, I reject Elliott Hulse's videos several times in the past months and years. I always see him as loud, aggressive, big and foul mouth (actually he's not foul mouth). Later, what I like about him is that he's straight forward, authentic, knows quite a lot of stuff and is good with fitness and body. I don't think we need to judge him so much. He's just talking straight off without any scripts and there will inadvertently have some mistakes/contradictions made. He doesn't even need to apologise for his mistakes. Either you watch him or you don't. He doesn't really care and you shouldn't as well.
  7. It all boils down to your values/principles. The value of upholding your rights to do your work at your own time or the value of freedom (no argument, relax). But the fact that you write it down here means it matters a lot to you. And the mere fact of writing down will reinforce it further in your subconscious mind. There is no right or wrong most of the time. Just weighting pros and cons and it depends on what you want to focus on (rights vs freedom)?
  8. There are no good or bad emotions. This is just a mental constructs made by humans. For example, you feel fear when you are standing on heights at the edge of the cliff. Understand that the fear is there to protect you and to stop you from doing stupid things. So fear can be a good thing in this case. So the reason why you have fear is because you are not prepared for it (The fall).
  9. It's not possible to stay positive all the time. Lol at the guy who spray in water again and again.
  10. because your fear is trying to protect you so it frames situations as negative to stop you from doing it eg bungee jumping.
  11. Yeah it is called 'Unconsciousness' after you die. It also exists when you are alive.
  12. Why don't anyone say it? How did you guys find actualized.org? How did you guys found actualized.org? How did you guys founded actualized.org? These are three different questions.
  13. The truth is human beings are emotional creatures so both men and women are very emotional. just that women tend to be MORE emotional while men tend to rationalise more. Read 'men are from mars, women are from venus' and 'The 5 love languages' to learn more.
  14. Kids have wild dreams. Most adults are more pragmatic.
  15. You must fear death. Not fearing death is unhealthy.
  16. Day 3 Go no Ex no Call/text no Medi yes Deto no Day 4 Go no Ex yes Call no/text yes Medi yes Deto yes
  17. You have to read tons and tons of books. You see some gurus...they have read over 500 books or even 1000 books and they become incredibly strong in their subject matter. Since their foundations is super strong, they can easily link different topics together or create something new out of the blue. Hence creativity ensued. Don't just read short articles or summaries because those are too short for the concepts to be internalized in you. You have to read the stories and examples yourself.
  18. Yes so you do not just watch videos. Change your deep rooted beliefs.
  19. Just check out the reviews and ratings on goodreads. https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/25492.The_Art_of_Being?ac=1&from_search=true&qid=aaHy8vgjtF&rank=1 Usually I don't check out books with ratings below 3.8 (unless there's only a few ratings)
  20. so how do we live our advice? pursue what you want
  21. Look at McGregor fight against Khabib, he has little belief left after 2 years away from MMA. McGregor didn't even kick much because he's only concentrating on boxing after his fight with Mayweather. No wonder McGregor lost despite saying loa works for him previously.
  22. Self help may not be so helpful sometimes as it takes too much time to read. But as someone has said, reading book is still better use of your time than playing online games or watching tv.
  23. Why care so much whether it's turquoise or awakened?
