@Leo Gura Yeah, I'm kind of aware of it. It's the understanding of the principles (the core nature) of humans... So do you mean most of us are doing manipulation and mistaking it for power?

@Yarco "Undisciplined" That's something I need to work on. Do you know a good book on that? One that would help me in contemplating (why I don't have) discipline? I can't always create an emergency situation to get things done - this I think is the core pillar to get any thing done. Awaiting your reply. Thanks!

Okay! I'm on the right track!

This happens, or at least, feels like that to me. Any input on this?

@Tyler Robinson Alright. What about highlighting while reading on a tablet? I feel like I'm slowing down due to frequent highlighting of important text - but can't avoid marking some text as the text can sometimes be really so important that I need to revisit it.

Ah. Nice points! Makes sense to me now. Thanks everyone. I'll try "not to" read aloud from now on.

Hello. I am interested in learning Psychology content from JP. I could find YouTube shorts (this one for example https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FQCFpsWjDyY) but where can I find an entire video that's taught (by him) in a class? I've checked his YT channel but I only see videos related to politics. Thanks!

Is it a wise/moral thing (or would it be a problem) to use my company servers (being an employee I get it for free) to use it for personal things? Like learning other things, let's say I look for another job and I'm learning other job-related stuff? What if I use the servers for streaming movies? I'm truly sorry if I posted this doubt in the wrong place.

Are there any good that talk about the psychology (or the manipulation techniques) techniques they use, for example, to get more work done without a hike in salary? I wouldn't say I'm a victim of such a thing but as I am in my early stages of my career I feel it would be beneficial for me to know about them in advance. Thank you guys!

Hello. I work in the software field. As you know my field involves a lot of sitting at my computer. By the way, I recently moved home and now I feel comfortable sitting at he window. I like it here, but the problem is I had to sit against a wall. Probably, you may have guessed what my complaint is: Back pain. How do I resolve this? To tell you more, I have a small chest-length table on which I put my laptop and work, and it feels like I'm working on my desk. But I get back pain as I am sitting on a bed leaning against a flat wall. I have tried putting a soft pillow in-between the wall and my back. Still have problems. When I switch to my chair, the problem goes away. However, like I said, I like sitting next to the window, getting caressed by the nature's air flow...it's a comfortable experience than sitting at my desk with the air conditioner on. To those of you who might say "Just bring the desk to the window". I thought of it but it's not possible, there no power socket nearby. It's okay if you recommend be some sort of a small prop like something I could rest on, I would consider buying that if it's in my budget. It's that I hate sitting at my desk! I didn't know where to post this question. Since this somewhat comes under "health" things I decided to ask it here. Thanks!

As the title says, which books did you found useful in your work life? Any good book that you read that tells how small to medium companies work, the politics involved, and such? Anything that enlightens a person who is still in the early stages of his career? Thanks in advance.

I happen to have cultivated this bad habit of atleast fapping once a day while watching at porn. I tend to have no sexual urges but I kind of feel old at my groin area if I don't fap. Once I fap and let the fluid out, I feel comfortable. However, I'm not stressed - so it's not the cause. Is there a subtle thing? If I have no urges but wanted to fap. What does that mean? I've asked the question myself but I'm not sure what's wrong. One thing I'm sure of: While watching porn I am not much inclined to any part of a women's body. I kind of concentrate on the hair, how the women's hair cover's her face while having intercourse with a male partner. So it seems to me that the hair is the triggering part for me. I'm very sure, how much beautiful the women may be, if she has no beautiful black hair, I wouldn't go for that video. For that matter, if somehow I lose interest in women's hair, I may not watch porn often - until unless the urges are too strong (say if semen secreted too much that it has to get out) How can I fix this obsession of mine? Sorry if I somehow sound vulgar or odd. It's my problem, yes, really weird problem.

Thanks to all of you!

In that case, where do I start?. I've no knowledge of the actual "textbooks". Can you help me start by telling the title of the book and the author of a textbook?

Well, now I think it's better not to talk about it unless there would be legal issues, if I don't.

Are there any disadvantages to discussing your health problems with your manager or boss? Will discussing it affect your position at the company?

Alright.

I happen to know that companies do background checks when I apply for a job. Is there any way they would know that I suffered from a chronic brain disorder - unless until I post about it somewhere on social media or in a forum? And should I always treat it like a secret - that I once suffered from a brain disorder? Never talk about it with any of my colleagues?

@Roy I'm rarely active (almost never uses it) on Twitter. But why is that? Why is twitter not good?

Does that mean "feeling comfortable" is surely related to ejaculation? Or could this just be an illusion my mind created?

@puporing @Leo Gura Well, I do find girls attractive and I am very sure I am "straight" male. The hair thing is what triggers me. Like I said, the same girl with no long silky hair will unlikely trigger my sexual senses. And, lol, I am not asexual. I just want don't want to be a slave to sex/porn/masturbation. If I fap once a week, let's say, that's okay for me. That's like having weekend fun. And, I am not trigger if the hair is not black or (sometimes) brown. Same girl, with any other hair color, even if her hair covers half of her face, doesn't trigger me. Funny to say, as I'm typing this, my wiener is getting a bit hard. Haha. Jokes aside, what do you guys suggest? Is it because I fap everyday that I'm not having sexual urges? I remember sometimes, maybe when I don't fap for 2 or 3 days, I get sexual dreams. So I am indeed getting sexual urges, right? Moreover, if somehow I don't fap for a week and then relapse, I feel like I've forgotten (like I lost my memory partially) what I've learned (I self study, alongside doing a part-time job) that week. Is that normal? Or would it be vice-versa - since I haven't fapped for a week, my memory becomes better? @Leo Gura So you said it's highly abnormal. What do you suggest I do? Thanks to everyone (also to people who I didn't tag in this post). I haven't expected that my post would gain this much attention.

Happy birthday Leo! Thanks for all your video. You helped a guy (it's me) who has a brain disorder become a human again. After all medicines only take you so far, the rest is help from fellow humans, I guess!

No, not in a self-sabotaging way. I had given up for a while but after that I tried to get back up. I'm doing a part-time job. Technical support - I handle support tickets. Well, yes, to be honest, I assumed as I have more than 1 gap year. I'm afraid, I haven't done any other super busy work related projects. It took me around 1.5 years just to become mentally stable - and I'm still using medication.

Hi. Due to some serious health conditions, it took me 7 years to complete my undergraduate studies. I want my fellow employers or, in case, my admission committee if I want to apply for masters, to see me as a good employee/student. To be honest, I take studies seriously. It's really my serious health issues that made the situation worse. Now how can I make my resume look good - considering that, up to my knowledge, my resume will be downright discarded once people notice the gap years in my studies. I've couple of things in mind: To work for a foreign company (big or small) indicating that I am good enough at communicating with people from other cultures, to learn a foreign language to show that I'm persistent at what I do. Of course, all the above things besides my ability to do the job at hand (I mean the job I am applying to) or to show the uni's admission committee that I've worked at so and so foreign company before applying for masters. Any suggestions? You know I am just really desperate to let people know that I didn't attend for classes, or wasted my time at college doing other silly things. I do not want to be judged by the gap years I have in my undergrad. I'd love to discuss with you guys!
