    Want ideas? Stop being boring!

    IDEA MINDSET 
    Great post! Got my mind firing in all directions, partially due to MJ's newsletter. Disclaimer: a lot of "I's" in this post. See this as someone partially self reflecting here, knowing that this is that I have to deal with myself but still hoping on that one nugget of knowledge freeing me of...

    What improved your life so much that you wish you did it sooner?

    GOLD! HOT! 
    I did a NLP Practicioner course, this helped me communicate much better and see through my own and other communication problems. This helped me professionally as personally with problem solving by getting to the core problem faster by asking the right questions and listening to answers without...

    Hyperinflation starting? What's happening in your area? Post your ground reports.

    HOT! INVESTING 
    I think that for a lot of things in Europe it's more of a supply chain issue. Russian oil ban = higher prices for fuel = higher transport costs for the supply chain. Russian gas ban = higher energy prices for electricity = higher operating costs / manufacturing costs for the whole chain...

    I only read "best-selling" books which gives me a curated, narrow viewpoint.

    HOT! BOOKS 
    I've read quite the few bestsellers, recommended by friends, forum or perhaps good marketing and commercials. But i've come across non best seller books within a spicific field, in this case nutrition and fitness, where I was frustrated with all the BS you can find online. After I found a few...

    Just a few examples from the Netherlands here: €2.50 / L ($9,85/gallon) for gas. which was €1.91/L (7,53/gallon) a year ago. I am seeing prizes in the supermarket rising on a weekly basis. Costing me €50 to €80 more a month (I cook for myself 6 of the 7 days a week) Supplements also on the...

    Fastlane Success (8 figure exit!) - Now Back to the Starting Ground !!

    GOLD! HOT! 
    These 2 really hit me. I think this is what keeps getting me back to the same things I allways done (not working on my own future). Those covered in a sauce of imposter syndrome. Nice story to read, and congrats on your successes.

    Don’t lurk, do this instead

    GOLD! HOT! 
    Thanks Andy. Good post. Made me reconsider my activities on the forum. The feeling of posting to "The Void" is also a good one, I can resonate with that (not on the FFF persé). My reason is that I'm not doing anything business wise, I had one freelance gig in the 4 years on the forum, and it...

    I've Read The Great Rat-Race Escape!

    GOLD! HOT! 
    It took a couple of days before the accompanying PDF was added at the audible page. Clear visuals, Nice Work! Listening on my commute and during workouts. About halfway now, really like the fictional part of it. Makes the subjects more relatable, and makes you connect on a more personal level...

    How to Wipe Your Own a$$ When You're 70

    HEALTH 
    The part about fat gain. Is that because of a gradual decline in base metabolic rate from the age of 25? That could mean you could also eat less and/or train more gradually?

    How do i improve my communication skills?

    HOT! MINDSET 
    In the context of (improving) communication, Neuro-Linguistic Programming could be useful. How computers process language in large sets of data isn't going to help your own interpersonal communication I'd say.

    How do i improve my communication skills?

    HOT! MINDSET 
    I'd say look for a book or course on NLP (there's a fairly good one on Udemy). NLP has been really insightfull to me regarding to interpersonal and professional communication. Though my experience is through live classes/course, I think you can pick up some nuggets from an online course or a book.

    Thinking Fast and Slow, by Daniel Kahneman (Book Review/Discussion)

    well your description does come quite close, there's quite some dry academic info in there, but he does combine it with a bit of humor and good examples/experiments to make things clear. I have it on audible and will definitely listen to it again in the future (not finished yet though). He...

    Never Split The Difference, by Chris Voss

    HOT! 
    Be sure to look at the PDF that lighthouse attached, after I listened to the book it was really helpfull to put some of it into practice. But you are right that this is a book that has a lot of information which is a lot to digest.

    i'm listening to it in English on my commute (slowlane here ;-) ) and reading in Dutch when I have some time at home, love it so far and I really like the subject. but at 20+hrs / 522 pages i'll be happy if I can leave a full review by the end of the month! But a good idea @ChrisV to make a...
