  1. does anybody have any tips on how to allow yourself to be vulnerable? (please no quick fix or external solution) if you wonder why it is because Leo talks about it in this video and I have been working on trying to become a *superconductor* the last few months here and there would mean a lot if you already have achieved to become a superconductor how did you convince yourself to successfully go through the whole process?
  2. How to deal with strong negativ emotions one simple rule to ace life the art of solving problems permently
  3. https://www.actualized.org/articles/the-happiness-spectrum hi does anybody recomend any specific books that is about eudaemonic happiness that leo talks about in the link above?(i am aware of leos books list which is awesome) kind regards
  4. if you want to make animated movies a good place to start it to be an animator (2d or 3d) you should be able to find some good tutorial online on how to get started as an animator some good programs to start with: 2d: adobe flash (not free) http://www.adobe.com/products/animate.html 3d: blender (Free but have pretty much everything you need at least as a beginner) https://www.blender.org/ (you will probably need seperated books to learn how to animated in 3d these tutorials are mostly on how to use the program free blender tutorials: 2d animation books http://www.2danimationsoftwareguide.com/top-10-animation-books-every-artist-should-have/ https://www.thoughtco.com/getting-started-in-animation-from-home-140966
  5. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FFrR0cGWnac&t=175s https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jofqueTp0Sg https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GcNGtZPPSS8&t=1530s I recommend reading the road less traveled by scott m peck if you haven't already hope you can use it
  6. quote: "is their a certain amount of reading I should do daily?" maybe you could read one thing at a time and set a deadline then it might be easier work out how much you need to read in order to achieve the deadline for example if you have a book thats 300 pages long then you could read 10 pages a day (maybe a little more if you need days where you don't have to read) then you should be able to finish the whole book in one month quote: " A method to digest the material?" you could also find techniques that help you with reading, for example, some of those i wrote above other methods could be active learning, active recall, pratice testing, deliberate pratice, quiz and recall, spaced repetition, the feynman technique(or explain like i am five) etc. quote: "certain amount of books" maybe just the ones that you find most relevant at the moment maybe you could also use what you already know about the topics you want to know more about to decide which books you want to read first(it might help to decide which one is more relevant and which one isn't and also how much you need to read) alternative you could ask somebody who already are where you want to be and ask them what books they read to figure out how many you need to read
  7. maybe these videos could help I hope everything turns out well
  8. hi what do you think is the optimal(or ultimate) personal development lifestyle?(if there is one) for example, some of the things i have found my self could be in a career: be so good they can'y ignore you personal life: spend less time on distractions(or time waster) more on taking responsibility, taking action(design your life in a way so that it support taking action for example it helps spending less time on distractions and on too many things throughout the day), permanently fixing problems at the root cause, doing the emotional difficult thing, Truth, eating healthy, getting enough sleep, meditation, deep relaxation, exercise, digital minimalism what do you think is the ultimate personal development lifestyle?
  9. Whats the benefits of contemplating on something vs learning it from a book that explains it in deep details?
  10. @Nahm i am sorry but i still don't get what i did well(except if it was the points i had maybe?) glad it wasn't an insult?
  11. @Nahm is it an insult? I really don't get it
  12. @Nahm how? It doesn't make any sense why would the body have ears to be able to "detect" sounds if both just are an illusion why would they have evolved over time if its not real? Sorry but it doesn't make any sense from what I understand of evolution what are the knowledge(or proof) we have that ears and sound are an illusion?
  13. isn't sound vibration created by other things? if it's an illusion why do we have ears?
  14. I recommend reading Deep work by Cal Newport and ultra learning by Scott H Young
  15. what do you think are some of the most important things to work on in personal development(besides life purpose) as we have limited time to live and there is only so much we can accomplish even if we do it the fastest way possible it still takes time to achieve and so it creates limit for how much you can accomplish in a lifetime
  16. would be awesome if he would do a video on this
  17. Some of the things that seems to worked for me that i have observed is to just try to be freindly and make her comfortable around you and try to make her laugh but also show that you are interested (i guess that if you go directly in without even getting to know her she knows very little about you and you are pretty much just a stranger to her) but you also have to make a move instead of waiting for her to make one(if you are having difficulty to approach her it might be approach anexity) something else that might be holding you back could be limiting belief(maybe also some other belief other than those mentioned) such as natural talent and that woman doesn't seem to have any trouble (i am sure both are just wishful thinking as you don't have to look hard to the first one find an explanation for what's really happend than just it's just natural talent at least i have found this to be true in terms of natural talent in learning and that you probably don't have to look so far if you are in a group of a lot of people to find girls who also have trouble just as much as you)
  18. its definitely not something all males are interested in so it's not a nature of a male(if you mean the same for every males that is if not i misunderstood and i am sorry) I am sorry but that's just sexist
  19. @Dominik Drums I just try to understand the information and then find a way to use it in pratice if it's important to the goals i want to accomplish(actualized.org isn't the only place I use if i need information for the goals i want to acomplish but it has a lot of valuable information for personal development) but this is also what responsibility means you are responsible for the action/decisions etc you take on your own which is what leo said you should agree to do if you use the things he says in the videos
  20. he also says in the video description that people should take 100% responsibility if they take action on what he says in the video(paraphrasing but similar) at least i sware i have seen it before either on hes website or hes videos yep he did it with this video https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vYAEr_94EDY&t=1010s
  21. for the career the best thing i know of is to do what cal newport recomends in so good they can't ignore you craftman mindset vs passion mindset craftman mindset: what can you do to get so good they can't ignore you and how can you keep improving what you do passion mindset: expecting a pre-existing passion and just have the courage to do it which is the only thing you will have to do to love what you do cal newport argues the craftman mindset is the key to be passioned about what you do and the passion mindset actually can make you end up less passioned about it (i am paraphrasing but it's similar) just chose what you find most authentic interesting and have most knowledge and skills in and then get really really good at it but try to stick with one thing as the more different things you try to get good at the more time it would take to get so good they can't ignore you in one thing you are really interested in there should still be some areas you could work on to get better at what you do even if there are some social limits, for example, all the technical/theoretic stuff for example for musicians it would be music theory for suggestions maybe business(There should be some good books on it) or maybe physics? (nikola tesla should be a Physicist and he did some awesome things as an inventor) alternative you could look up some people you look up to and see what they knew/was good at
  22. would be awesome if leo could do a video on how to just do it no matter what it is and how challenging it is(or just some insights on it)
  23. i am not sure if this is what you are looking for but it might be relevent “Life is difficult. This is a great truth, one of the greatest truths. It is a great truth because once we truly see this truth, we transcend it. Once we truly know that life is difficult-once we truly understand and accept it-then life is no longer difficult. Because once it is accepted, the fact that life is difficult no longer matters.” quote by scott peck from the road less traveled and this http://www.nscblog.com/miscellaneous/four-tools-of-discipline-from-the-road-less-traveled/
  24. @SFRL maybe try epic fantasy books might be good for a long drive as they are usually quite long books and there can be a lot of them in a series
