    Yes. Felix Dennis would've loved a word with OP.

    Fast Lane at 43?

    INTRO 
    That’s unfortunate, he sounded so great until you mentioned that.

    10 years here. Curious what had the most impact on you

    FEEDBACK 
    You and me both… a select few members here I could say similarly about, Andy most definitely being one of them.

    Books about Overcoming Addictions

    ASK THE AI 
    Growing up it was video games/porn, then as an adult I completely went off the deep end with alcohol. I believe all addictions operate in the same way, the behavioural mechanisms are different; some people need uppers, some need downers due to their personal makeup etc., but addiction is...

    Books about Overcoming Addictions

    ASK THE AI 
    Isolation, shame, more isolation, more shame. It’s a self-reinforcing downward spiral, and porn especially triggers that since it’s by definition secretive. It is brutal. Just read up on hikikomori’s in Japan to see the full extent to what can happen to an individual who gets caught in this...

    Books about Overcoming Addictions

    ASK THE AI 
    Easy peasy method. I’ll read the other one as I am super curious about this subject. I met an addiction specialist by chance about a year ago who said he holds meetings for relationship issues, one for alcohol, one for drugs, and one for porn, and since covid he says the porn group outgrew...

    Books about Overcoming Addictions

    ASK THE AI 
    In my opinion this book is trash. Doesn’t go deep into the cause/effect of addiction, it basically prescribed white knuckling for 90 days then seeing ‘how great you feel.’ Which is disastrous advice, because it reinforces false hope syndrome.

    I agree. Just stop then immediately after just become a millionaire. Just do it.

    Books about Overcoming Addictions

    ASK THE AI 
    I struggled with addiction for years. The most valuable books for me (in no particular order) were: 1. Dopamine Nation 2. Willpower Instinct 3. In the Realm of Hungry Ghosts and Gabor Mate’s other works These specifically for addiction, but other books were very equally valuable but were more...

    How you WIPE your WINDSHIELD? #rant

    MINDSET 
    I’ve heard you hint towards this vein of thinking in the past. Have you spoken in length about this and where you get your perspective from? I try not to think of it anymore, but family can be the biggest hindrance, and usually the most toxic will use the blood is thicker than water type of spiel.

    Bitcoin / Cryptocurrency Discussion (And Predictions)

    HOT! CRYPTO 
    No one can say for sure. BTC has never hit an ATH before the halving in history. With what has happened to the dollar since the last halving cycle, the ETF’s and wider adoption, we could see some crazy movement this time around. If BTC followed historic averages as a benchmark, BTC would be...

    Finally, I cannot afford next month’s due.

    MINDSET RANT 
    This is really it at the end of the day, the rest is fluff. People from all circumstances and backgrounds find success. Don't obsess over irrelevant tertiary things like your romanticized story or struggle (especially manufacturing your own struggle, how disgustingly privileged that is), just...

    I love this post. You should exhaust all your options to fix an injury before doing something drastic like surgery to fix it. Especially the possibility of re-aggravating it down the line because you never dealt with the original cause. I can attest to Deadhangs working well. I used to have...

    Deeply depressed best friend...

    OFF-TOPIC HEALTH 
    That is presumptuous. Depression isn’t logical and often has to run its course. Unfortunately the habits that stave off depression have to be cultivated outside of the depressive episode, once someone is in, it’s like being trapped in a tidal wave (assuming it is really depression, not...
