  1. I just read yesterday: ''Adversity introduces a man to itself'' Wise words.
  2. The essence of shadow work, with some practica exercises (and links to past episodes related), eliminating the all the woo woo fluff is out there.
  3. This guy (president of El Salvador, stage red-blue country) unconsciously understands spiral dynamics better than stage green UK liberal journalists. Specially last half of the video. Happy to some some politicians thinking outside the box.
  4. Yes! had that aztec face: 'she' moved a finger and whispered: 'follow me' And bam, into hyperspace!
  5. Deep work and digital minimalism can change your life in you APPLY them, especially for people who loves forums
  6. Is not bullshit. Is just a model. If you are into politics is a great guide. It can help to improve yourself, living with more understanding, compassion and love. The problem if you want awakening is that can lead to error, thinking you have to reach turquoise for that, or when people confuse it as a spiritual staircase. Is great info, and has great practical application, but at some point you have to drop it.
  7. A book gives more status and positioning in the niche. And most self-help authors nowadays just publish to build a brand, make noise in the marketplace with the intention of charging premium in the back-end (videocourses, retreats, 1-1, speaking gigs...) For most the book is just the front end offer.
  8. Stupid in the sense of not being able to learn new things? Sure. But wisdom? Thats another thing. It seems like a tradeoff. You lose intellectual/mental capacity, but if you had a wide variety of life experiences, contemplated and studied top tier info, the wisdom you'll have will be worth it, even if you are a bit slower.
  9. Exactly. One of the best things money can buy is time. And the possibility to think and work in the things you really want.
  10. Is not a 1 time read book. It has the potential to change your life. Like rich dad poor dad. It completely changed the trajectory of my life, but I understand why some people say is bullshit. Same with 4HWW.
  11. Guys come on. There is some truth in both POVs. (and yes, I travel and dated women from all continents, so Im talking from experience). Is easier to get girls from Latin America, Asia, Eastern Europe, Africa... thats why horny guys go there. It even has a name now lol: passport bros. Is also true that a lot of women from those places are more feminine, sexual and less pain in the ass, BUT thats for short term flings. For long term relationships it may flip. Go read stories of western guys married to Japanese, Russian, South American women. Not good. And what EddieMurphy said is right. Girls have lower standers in less developed countries. Thats why a lot of guys if they want to marry they stay in the country of the woman. If she comes to America/Western Europe, she will raise her standards! Also understand that most passport bros and low tier in the attractiveness spectrum, and orange at most, so they are ok with more religious, traditional woman.
  12. Word! As they told you... Beware of what you may find! PS: I read you have mental health issues in your family. Proceed with caution. It can get freaky.
  13. @soos_mite_ah Is realistic, but it can take a few months. An online marketing agency (selling websites, SEO, social media marketing, paid ads...) can be a good idea. Pretty fast to set up, and you can outsource the project if you are not at expert at it. That way is not very time consuming. (I know because a I ran one). Nowadays there is a lot of info on youtube and on paid courses.
  14. This. Income is king. You can have all the saving and investing strategies you want, but if you have low income, nothing matters. On the other hand, if you have a high income, you don't need a lot of saving and investing strategies, just some long term vision and not being stupid. Money is more a game of offense, not defense
  15. I find there is a problem dividing between materialistic desires and spiritual ones. It can lead to confusion. A lot of things you mention sound spiritual /life purpose: Traveling, education, having children, living in a nice area Making a lot of money can be the most spiritual thing you can do, since being short of money, working in a shitty Job, worrying about the bills, being stuck... is going to be a burden in your spiritual journey.
  16. Maybe you have this issue backwards. Read: 'So good they can't ignore you' by Cal Newport Maybe this book shifts your mindset around the issue.
  17. Is not about the substance. People reached enlightenment or awakening with different kinds of substances. And a lot of people reached it sober. Either way, after a few weeks I now understand what happened. I saw the tail of the bull (10 ox herding pictures). When I read the descriptions (and Leo's video about his first sober enlightenment experience in a retreat), is clear.
