I'll quote a few lines from the book: "Everything in your life, from your diet to your career, must be aligned with your purpose if you are to act with coherence and integrity in the world". What does David Deida tries to tell us? He said that even our diet should be according to our purpose. Does it mean that if the gym is not aligned with my purpose, then it is a waste of time kind of? What do you think? I'm so confused right now.

I was scrolling through Leo's videos and I thougth that maybe I should take some notes. Maybe I should summerize the points I take from each video I watch (and rewatch if needed). The point is to remember it better, understand it better and refresh my memory later instead of watching the full video again. What do you think of this idea? Do you do this? Should I do this? Or maybe I should just watch the videos comfortably (taking notes and stopping the video all the time is pretty tiring). I could just watch the videos and do the exercises, but should I take notes?

Hey, I'm a 17 year old high-school student and I don't have a direction in life. I find it really hard to study/work without knowing what I'm striving for. When I have a goal I have motivation and I have nothing to go for right now. I was thinking about the life purpose course, because it recieved a lot of recommendations here and it looks pretty dope to be honests. I used to watch some of Leo's videos but then I stopped because it looked a bit bull-shitty to me. Maybe it's not. Is the course worth it? Should I save money and buy it? Will I get results? I am only a teenager and I don't live with a lot of money, I live only with my mother. I am really afraid of this.

Good! Now I just need to find the money...

I plan to get it before I finish high-school (I still have another year). If I'll buy the course in the next few months and if I will work hard enough to find my purpose, will I be able to do this before I finish high-school? (You know, before university or anything)...

I said I used to think that way. It was around half a year ago, maybe more. Now I am more interested in the content. What do you say about the course? Is the course worth it? Should I save money and buy it? Will I get results?

I was just wondering. I have heard people that say that it's not possible because there is always attraction from one side. I have also seen some researches online that say that most men think there is something more than the friendship and women thougth that it's a clear friendship. I have no idea. Women apperantly can put me in the "friendzone" and I could get stuck.

Do you think the videos and the site are legit? I have opened a thread like this before, but now I add more questsions. I came back because I felt the I am missing something. I have seen Leo's video about television and someone wrote a comment there: I don't want to be negative but he has a few good points here... So I have read this and it's pretty strange. Leo tells us not to watch tv and other videos but then he tells us that we should watch educational videos. He tells us not to socialize (on other video) and then he tells us that we should. He recommends us to to become vegetarian but he also have said on a comment that he thinks Paleo diet is a good idea (which contains meat). I also felt that he is trying to build a cult. He told us that we can watch a movie sometimes but then he told us that watching even 1 hours of tv is bad. It's pretty strange to me. I really liked some of the ideas in the channel but I feel now that what he talks about is not complete, that he says things from his experience. He tells us that depression is only from thougths when it's not always the case. Did you but the life purpose course? Did you but the book list? Are you satisfied? Can you explain things to me?

I think a video about this topic would be interesting. Sleep is healthy and and important. Many people dismiss this idea.

I think you guys missunderstood me. I am not against quitting television, I actually belive that people waste too much time on this. I am just giving an example so you understand why I am suspicious. Let's take another video, he said that depression comes from thougths while there is clinical depression which I guess comes from imbalance of neuro-transmitters. Another thing that I have seen is someone who commented on somewhere that he doesn't even solve his problems in the video. -------------------------------------------------------- Now read carefully, I am not against what Leo does here, I never said he is a liar and I don't want to say anything bad about him or anyone who follows him. I, myself liked the idea of his channel and I want to follow it but some points on his videos make me go suspicious, I just want some shit to be clear for me. I am just filling that he tries to build a cult or something, please correct anything I said.

I always wanted to become the best version of myself. I thougth that maybe the videos could help me but now I am not sure...

I am 16 years old and I started watching Leo's video's not a while ago. I was happy that someone actually uploaded video's with ideas I have never heard before. There is only one problem. I watched Leo's video about television and I completly agree with it, it's a huge waste of time. I am not sure but I think Leo said that we should be careful with reading fiction books. I watched another video. It's called "Advice for highschool and college students" or something like that. In that video Leo made some really good points, but then he said that we (Highschool and college studentss) shouldn't go to partie's, shouldn't socialize, should quit sugary stuff and bread, shouldn't get into serious relationships. I can see where that comes from, but isn't it taking it a bit too far? What will I enjoy in life? I like socializing (What is the definition for socializing? Maybe I'm wrong, English is not my mother language as you can see), I really like to go out with friends and meet new people. I quit watching television even before watching Leo's videos, I was happy that people agreed with me. But no fiction books?! I like to read, I like to read some good literature, it is awesome. It really inspires me and teaches me about random perspectives in the books, I become a character in the book, this epic. It can improve my language (As you can see, I really need to read some books in English), it makes my brain happy, my imagination is activated (Unlike television). What if I'd like to watch the history channel, the news and/or watch a movie on tv once a while. I have successful students in my class that don't eliminate television (for example) out of their lives, they keep watching sometimes but they focus more on studying and improving... It's pretty hardcore. I can't suck all the enjoyment out of my life... Can someone advice me something? Does it really worth it? I'm pretty

What do you mean by that?

I stopped watching the videos for a couple of months... I think I am missing something...

Interesting...

So I think I will listen to Leo and see what's good for me. Don't get me wrong, he says a lot of awesome and helpful things. But no partying, no socializing, not reading fiction books... IT'S NONSENSE

What do you think about it? I did it for a few months. I thougth that it improves my confidence, makes me more alpha, gives me deeper voice etc... I belived in all the semen retention etc... The problem here is that if I ejaculate through sex, isn't it the same? What if I will have sex I will ejaculate in seconds... Now that I think about it, it makes no sense... Sexologists recommend masturbation but instead listening to them, people listen to some strange people... Yesterday I ejaculated and I felt that my voice is higher, clearer than when I didn't ejaculate (Worser in my opinion). Now I have some back pains. Maybe it's in my head... What do you think?

I'm still stuck...

So I didn't watch the video completly (I'm gonna do it). I have a question. Let's say for example that I am a teenager, and I smoked a ciggarete. But I didn't tell my mother, I didn't tell her anything. What if I tell the truth only if she asks me if I smoked? Because I think telling her it out of nowwhere is a bit weird and stressy. What do you think about it?

So I've been watching some Leo's videos and now I was wondering something... What do you think is the right order for the videos? I was watching only the videos that had an exciting title or something like that... Should I watch the videos from the start? So I won't miss anything?

So I noticed that even if I am watching educational content on television, I still spend a lot of time. I decided to go 6 months without television (includes YouTube etc...). I have a problem here, I really like listening to music and I think that going on YouTube won't be a very good thing to do. I also like sometimes to watch video's about exercises (for example: push-ups) on how to do it correctly. What do you think I should do? I am in a county that Spotify is not available...

But what is the difference between having sex with a partner and masturbating? You ejaculate in both...

What do you mean by awarness?

I agree that porn is bad... I have seen people that do NoFap who say that NoFap solves their problems... More attraction from women, more respect from men, confidence, less anexity... Maybe it's because of the dopamine receptors...
