    Living in a van down by the river

    HOT! 
    I lived in a van while building my business and it was the best thing I could have done for myself for 2 main reasons. 1. I stayed in beautiful remote areas in nature (that still had cell signal for hotspot), which was great for my mental state. 2. No distractions. Drawbacks? Limited food...

    Crazy Float Tank Experience One of my best friends has been telling me lately how much float tanks have been helping him, so I decided to try one out last night. It feels like I had a weird/bad trip? I've never tried psychedelics so I don't really know. I got in the tank and got comfortable...

    Well thank you for participating in the discussion for as long as you did. It was fun. As for the Sean Stephenson genetics thing, I meant he has good genetics (neurotransmitters) for attitude, and I would have to guess that he has to be on a lot of medication to function normally from a mental...

    It tells me they need to learn to control their dopamine. Which is entirely possible via diet, supplementation and specific types of actions (see aforementioned books). You can make improvements to anything, no doubt, but there's always a cap. You can improve your looks with good hygiene, by...

    Then you say: If you like I can instead tell you what you want to hear: You're not responsible. (Not true, I am responsible to a certain degree) You were born or became defective and there's nothing you can do about it. (Partly true because genetics are real... physical appearance and the...

    EXECUTION 
    This, right here, is what I believe to be the crux -- the disconnect -- in how successful motivated people perceive people who aren't motivated/successful. Your happiness isn't dependent on any of those things. You take a human and put them in all those conditions above, but you put them in a...

    EXECUTION 
    I'm just going to keep running with this thought at the risk of being ridiculed and being called a victim. My belief is that our physical health and biochemistry is the foundation for good mental health. So someone who has a great amount of control over themselves has better physical health...

    EXECUTION 
    There's an assumption here that humans have complete control over themselves, and in my experience and observations, this is not the case. It's entirely dependent on the health of your brain, specifically your prefrontal cortex. Children with autism are an extreme example, but as you may know...

    EXECUTION 
    What's up guys, Intro: My name is Jake, I'm 28 years old, and I have a seriously bad work ethic/self-discipline. A lot of times I feel like I have no executive control over myself and I struggle to figure out how much of that is due to my biochemistry (brain chemicals and such) and how much of...

    How I went from $0 to $300,000 at the age of 22 (Oh, and back to $0)

    MINDSET 
    Can relate to this a lot. Crypto consumed my life for a while as myself and my best friend got in pretty early in May 2017 and saw our investments go parabolic in a short time. By August of that same year I was buying "stuff to get me ahead" from the dark web so I could analyze charts and...

    Never give up

    One of the greatest stories in sports history today with Tiger winning the Masters. I don't know what came over me but I was already crying by the 15th hole which led to bawling for about a straight 30 mins. Just pure tears of joy. So inspirational all the stuff he had to overcome. The...

    Influence: The Pyschology of Persuasion by Robert Cialdini

    HOT! 
    Been reading it since I saw it at the top of this site. One thing that really stood out to me is the part about how if you put an unattractive person next to an attractive person, that attractive person is perceived as more attractive than they actually are. Then it said something about how...

    Don't do it is my advice. (poker) I played professionally for a couple years. Made OK money. ^^ This guy right above me is a savage making that much, but not only is it extremely competitive now, but you're also competing against bots and AI that is getting smarter every single day, and those...

    How do you become a happy person?

    HOT! MINDSET 
    I think the biggest area of research about this going on right now is with porn. (yourbrainonporn.com) But after researching all that, I realized it applies to any kind of super stimulus. Who the hell is going to want to work when they can get their month's worth of reward chemicals with 5 porn...

    A little different than the advice you're getting here. No offense to anyone who posted, but none of this works for someone like OP. I know because I was exactly like him. Here's the thing... your brain's reward system is f*cked. You get rewarded for doing nothing in video games, and it's about...

    Built 100k business in 5 months. Now stuck.

    EXECUTION 
    Been a while since an update. I fell into a bit of a mental slump for a bit so I relied heavily on my VA and writers to just keep everything afloat until I straightened myself up again. Feeling great again now! Business is a little slower due to holidays and seems like end of year is always...
