Leo's book list includes a video on exactly this. I took his tips on board and modified my reading habbit to include these.

Great video which I will use to deal with my brother in a more effective way (He displays all the classic behaviours of narcissism/ego centrism resulting from a far from ideal upbringing). I feel I'm actually a little addicted to watching videos about narcissism and other personality disorders haha.

Some how bumped into this guy called Robert Nejamy whos videos saw me through some difficult times years ago. Can't be entirely sure how turquoise he is but would like to share him with you all.

Very similar to my experience. Started weed at a low point in my life, and to be "sensible" I did a bit of research into it, particularly on how addictive it is. I read countless testements of how non addictive it is, including from close friends who smoked. I was sceptical but not really in a place to care. Weed played a very positive part in my life overall but I now definitely under no illusions about weed not been addictive. Everyone I know who smokes does it close to everyday and spends a significant amount of money on it. I managed to stay as just a social smoker, never actually buying it myself but regularly find myself smoking more than I would like. It's like I'm surrounded by people who want to get me high haha?, and I'm currently too weak not to join in haha.

@Onecirrus yes exactly, this whole bickering about who's most privileged is silly, the suffering of the human condition does not discriminate. I guess its the extremes of green which doesn't have to be embodied to pass through green.

@White This makes sense! I guess it accounts for the ugly spouts of hyper moralising too. So I'm safe to proceed becoming more green knowing I don't have to become a professional victim or scream at people for not being as "caring" as I am haha.

I consider myself largely green with a good leg still in orange. But I have a couple of issues with some of the more outspoken part of green, which I can't help but see as less developed. Mainly, those who take on feminism to become a professional victim and have very toxic views on men. I accept the point that as a white male, there are discriminatory factors I can not fully appreciate, but surely these stances are missing the point of green and belong in a lower level?

what's the principles behind these mindfulness colouring books? Do they work by training your focus? How is it different to getting lost by other means like playing an instrument or even video games?

Colouring whilst watching Leo, that sounds like a great idea. .. I. I do have a colouring book, was just curious what exactly the benefits were.

yeah! They're suddenly everywhere where I am.
