Don't you guys use some local package forwarding companies? I live in Georgia (Eastern Europe) and I ordered the book on US Amazon, it does't ship directly but through a middle company. I'll get it in 1.5 weeks. Shipping cost after Amazon is $8 for each KG, so not that much.

That's why I don't take him seriously anymore. Maybe I should, but I just can't by into the bullshit hype. Time will tell.

My ex was complaining that I wasn't emotional enough and wasn't sharing my emotions to the degree she wanted. I think if you feel a need to do it, you should, not out of some requirenment that you read somewhere, or just because girls asks you to. Just be genuine, and see where that takes you. Of couse if you act like a cry baby, complaining, whining and being emotional daily to her, that might become a turn off. Find a masculine ground if you are leaning more into it, but also find ways to integrate the feminine. Being vulnurable and emotional from time to time can be okay and deepen intimacy I think.

I just saw it, looks promising. Do you get any value out of that community? Are there valuable discussions?

Who, Elon?

@LordFall No I'm not into dating apps, but I don't think that's true. So you could take photos of an unattractive (looks) guy and make him more attractive? How?

As he said, the ending suffering book was initially part of this new book, but he seperated it because it was getting too much, and made it into a separate book. He's been working on that for 10 years.

Yea, somebody should email Bryan's posts to Brandon so they are aware

[4/30] ✅ I relapsed again, but I realized it's not a good idea to fight this thing the way I do it. I'll change a strategy, since I have a very high sex drive, I just can't completely cut that out of my life, I'll remove any external stimulation (videos, photos, etc), I'll just make a practice out of it, couple times a month to get to know my own body and feelings better. The addiction part comes from external stimulation, so I'll track that, that's unhealthy for me, not the release part. Sleep: 11:00 => 06:30 (oh man, I feel such a releif that this routine if finally locked in, struggled so much because of it) What I did: 20m meditation 6m pranayamas 45m reading Push workout 45m Caloric deficit What I didn't do: Study => Still, I had lots of work to do, and was too tired in the evening, and was working in the morning too. So, a summary: I'm working with meditative practices in baby steps, I should not judge the progress for at least 6 months, I just gotta show up every day and follow the practice instruction as best as I can. So far so good. Weight loss and exercise are locked in, I'm tracking progress with a coach and I won't derail here anymore, in 6 months I'll achieve my weight loss goal and then I'll switch to maintenance calories, and continue exercising (with more intensity) I read daily, I have tens of books to read so that's crucial. This habit is locked in. Sleep schedule is fixed and locked in. I'll be working on a healthy sexuality habits, that is the main focus now, I want to stop doing it compulsively and out of an addiction, and switch to a more healthy version, because complete abstinense didn't work (at least now, I'll try again in 1-2 months when the healthier habit is in place) I need to put more focus into allocating time for study / personal projects. Work eats up all time and energy from the day, so it will be wise to do this in the morning. But morning is for practices / working out, I have to squeeze that as well somehow. Okay, now the most important thing is to not relapse anymore, and just continue my habits as best as I can.

Can't wait to read this, he's such a gem. I hope he lives a long time to come, he looks very good for 76 years old.

@glassfire Okay, got it. When I first heared of lucid dreaming and started reality checks, I got lucid very easily. I think the excitement part plays a big role, it also goes with you when you sleep. Once it became mechanical, it stopped working. Yeah I've had those, and woke up with frustration that I was so stupid not to realize that it was actually a dream, when the content of the dream was about lucid dreaming.

@integral Thanks, I'll look into this more. So I guess the key thing here is doing sports/gym with awareness right? I go to gym but most of the times I just follow the motions without body awareness, but from time to time if I direct my awareness to the muscle group I'm working at, exercise actually feels to be more effective.

He said couple years ago that the age of self-driving cars being everywhere was just around the corner. Well, when was the last time you saw a self-driving car on the streets. I don't believe anything he says.
