@longusername12345 I recommend the following authors, ones I wish I started reading earlier, after having purchased about 100 books from the list. They are also the authors of some of Leo's top 5 books. Neale Donald Walsch Ken Wilber Peter Ralston

@ryank940 Try different mediums and see what works best for you. I like reading books because I can take notes in my commonplace book and mark helpful passages much easier than when listening to an audiobook. Kindle is great too. Videos are also a useful and I plan to use more often.

@peqkno I have also yet to go through a program, but I will share with you how I am preparing to take a course and eventually create my own coaching business. - Read coaching books recommended by Leo in his book list. The book Coaching Questions will help to uncover some of the structure of a coaching session and how to prepare good questions. - Search 'Life Coach' on YouTube and watch videos from many different coaches and coaching programs (iPEC for example) - Coach yourself or find a peer coach that you can practice with. - Hire a coach and be coached about how to coach. - Read books on empathy, psychology, charisma, organization, business, marketing, social skills, and books on whatever you want to coach about: leadership, relationships, personal development... - Take Leo's Life Purpose Course. Hope this helps

@EternalDream I purchased the Life Purpose Course about 2 years ago. I finished about 70% when got sidetracked/lazy and went back to general personal development for a year and a half. During that time I was reading a lot of books from Leo's book list. I also researched careers revolving around things I was most interested. Ecosystems, animals, history professor, martial arts, guns (I was fascinated by the mechanisms and with competitive shooting sports), military (almost enlisted twice because I didn't want to take responsibility for my career/life, thank God I didn't!!!), race car driver, park ranger, & amateur hockey scout among others. I researched people who had careers in these fields and what their experiences, regrets, etc. were so I didn't have to go through the whole process myself. I saved myself a lot of wasted years doing this, although finishing the course the first time through would have been ideal. The 2-3 years it took me to find my purpose was absolutely worth it. As for my purpose, I was browsing Leo's older video's a about a month back and finally decided to re-watch his life-coaching videos. I knew as I was watching the first video that that was what I wanted to do. I am now finishing up the LPC to get inspired, create a plan, etc. I can't recommend the LPC enough. It will change your life if you take it seriously and do the work. Best $250 I ever spent. Good luck Excuse the Quote boxes

@blankisomeone Thought as a System The Essential Difference Read lots of books on psychology

@ShardMare Models: Attracting Women Through Honesty

@Average Investor The Charisma Myth Models Attracting Women Through Honesty - You can use some of the principles from this book with both men and women. Best Dating book I've ever read and a must read if you need help in this area. How to have Confidence and Power in Dealing With People

@StarStruck Robert Greene is an author you will like, especially if you are interested in history as well. The 48 Laws of Power The 33 Strategies of War

@kras Books: How to Have Confidence and Power in Dealing with People Models: Attracting Women Through Honesty - Best dating book I've ever read. The Charisma Myth How To Be a 3% Man The Laws Of Human Nature Shadow Dance - Not a book for social situations per say but you can use this to uncover and integrate your limiting beliefs and insecurities which is the core of most of your problems in life. Must Read! Other advice: Meditate before you go into social/stressful situations and incorporate deep breathing. (This is a short term strategy but good in a pinch) This will help to detach from neediness and be calm. Don't think of people as your enemy. Learn to love and accept yourself and then others. Easier said then done obviously. Watch Leo's video on Self-Love. Do shadow work. Listen to songs that make you feel like a badass before you go out or while in your car. Smile. Smiling makes you feel more confident. When you feel more confident, others will perceive you as more confident. You will see people's reactions to you and reinforce the confident feeling. (Self-Love is sexy) Use powerful body language. See above excerpt for how this affects you. Your mind can be tricked by manipulating your body. Study human psychology. Male and Female, they are different. Learn to be compassionate. Study people or groups whose perspective you don't share or understand.

@Madhur Learn to be open-minded, empathetic, and genuinely curious about the people you talk to. If your friends aren't interested in self actualization and are actively holding you back, ask yourself if they are people you want in your life. Let go of the fearful part of your mind that tries to control what others think of you. Instead turn your attention toward outward and try to understand the other person's perspective. Read: The Laws of Human Nature by Robert Greene

@Viking Boredom is the product of loneliness. If you can Be by yourself with contentment, then boredom is not possible. Incorporate a meditation habit and read up on consciousness practices. Those aren't exactly high quality hobbies and you should see it as a sign of progress that you are growing out of them. Use the time you would normally spend in your hobbies to improve yourself and work towards your life purpose. You can do this through Leo's Life Purpose Course, , visioning, strategic planning, etc. Check out the author Robert Greene, specifically his book Mastery. It shows how masters are made, traps to avoid, and provides a framework for creating massive value that you can provide to the world. If Truth Be Told by Om Swami is good too. It is a biography of a man who became a millionaire, realized material wealth and luxury was unfulfilling, gave away all of his money and became a monk. Very inspirational and shows the trap of a success oriented lifestyle and mindset.

@Emiliano You cannot share an Insight per say. It is really only sharing knowledge. An insight can only happen in your direct experience. Anything you share with another person is just a concept or idea. You need to investigate the topics you want to learn about for-yourself. This applies to reading books, watching videos, etc. It is hearsay until you intuit an insight for yourself. insight noun the capacity to gain an accurate and deep intuitive understanding of a person or thing.

@Rodrigo PF I am orange-Green-yellow stage. I have aspects of each stage. My thinking is more Green-yellow but I need to integrate Stage Orange aspects first. Conversations can be useful but most likely you are feeling lonely. It happens to all of us at times. Start to get serious about conscious work. Meditation and Contemplation. There are countless resources that can help you grow. If you feel you need to improve in a certain area of your life, there are tons of books on pretty much any topic you can think of. Read books on consciousness from Leo's book list.

@Jacob Morres Robert Greene has amazing books on this topic. Check out The Laws of Human Nature, The 48 Laws of Power, The 33 Strategies of War, & The Art of Seduction. Other books: How to Be a 3% Man - This book is geared toward dating. The Red Queen - This book will help you understand why/how men and women are different from a scientific viewpoint. What Every Body is Saying - This book teaches you how to read body language. People use words to deceive, but by decoding body language, you will be better able to recognize deceit, uncertainty, attraction, repulsion, lies, etc.

@Lews Therin Check out Peter Ralston's books. They are more pragmatic, personal, and grounded.

@The_Alchemist I have over 130 books. I usually read about 5 books at a time. I'll read a couple chapters per day for each of the 5 books until I finish them. I don't like reading about the same thing for long periods. Sometimes I will start reading a book and realize that it is not a priority for me to be studying that certain topic. For example, I may start reading a book on politics, then realize that I need to be focusing on social skills, life purpose, and systems thinking.

@NK13 You can either become wise (become part of the solution) from the adversities in your life or become part of the problem by being a victim.

@The_Alchemist I don't use a schedule. I have things I want to accomplish and do them when most convenient. Meditation after I wake up. 1 hour minimum. Read 3-6 hours a day. (Since coronavirus) Light workout Nap in early afternoon I am working on incorporating a contemplation habit right now as well

@Valach Don't worry about fitting in with society. They don't know what they are doing any more than you do. If your friends are holding you back, consider moving on from them and make friends with people you aspire to be like. Generally speaking, you will absorb the values of those who you are most commonly around. Add Contemplation as a habit to go along with meditation.

@egoeimai The Book of Not Knowing By Peter Ralston

@egoeimai It's not an ebook but check out interviews with Sadhguru:

@The Don You are stuck in your own head, worrying about what people think of you, trying to hide your flaws or ignorance from others. Me just telling you this and you believing me won't help you. Investigate why you are feeling awkward. Ask yourself: What belief or assumption about myself is causing this feeling? What am I trying to hide from this person I am speaking to? How am I trying to manipulate this person so that they will think highly of me? Learn about empathy. Become genuinely interested in other people. You need to understand human nature. Resources: The Laws of Human Nature by Robert Greene The Art of Seduction by Robert Greene Start a meditation habit. Your mind will calm and you will be able to tune into others. Calm the monkey in your mind.

@Ameer Leo takes off one month per year off to refresh his creativity and whatnot.

@SirVladimir Become more conscious.
