Have you ever heard the saying – “If you want something done, give it to a busy person.”? It indirectly implies the existence of two Homo sapiens types – doers and no-doers. A person with a busy schedule is a doer and more likely to get something extra done than a no-doer who has all […]
People rarely get depressed because of a bad situation. True depression comes because you can’t see a clear path out. Despite what motivational speakers (and their modern equivalents) are saying, it’s not so easy to dig yourself out of a hole even if you are willing to do the work. When you want to escape […]
A while back I decided to do dedicated forearm training including some arm wrestling exercises and grip routines. I made the needed equipment out of wood and spare parts. It worked well. One time while doing my routine, I couldn’t help it and admitted the obvious: I felt stupid. I had to ask myself the […]
Many professors in the manosphere (and in other self-improvement segments) are super focused on maximizing TSW (time spent working). Hence they allegedly wake up at 5 in the morning, wrestle an alligator, eat 600 grams of protein, do some meditation, and then “seize the day”. As always – it’s all nonsense…and I am here to […]
Therapy is practically useless and impotent in most cases. It can’t solve your problems but can ironically augment them and slow down healing. It could also be an immoral business. Talking About Your Problems Is Helpful But Only To a Point The main value of therapy is that you export some of your thoughts and […]
I am about to tell you a secret. Most of our attempts to change fail for one of the following reasons: 1/We want the impossible. 2/Destiny says no. 3/ We can’t detach from the state that we want to change. The first point is easy to overcome – just focus on gradual steps. If you […]
They are selling you a fake dream….again. One of the consistent narratives in the manospherific community is that males become more valuable as they age….and therefore you can still win the game as an older man. I’ve heard some of the gurus say that even 60+ men in their “private cold approach group” are “killing […]
I am about to do two things. First, I am going to expose the Fake Law of Attraction (FLoA) that’s been sold to the naive public by a great number of conscious and unconscious charlatans. Then, I am going to present the REAL Law of Attraction (RLoA) (don’t expect magic). According to the FLoA, you […]
Who do you think is your biggest rival in the world of romance? Who’s gonna take your current or future girl? -The 6’5″, blue eyes, trust fund, muscular, 190 IQ guy in finance? No. The millionaire son who spends more on breakfast than you do on a car? No. The “gifted” pro athlete? No. The […]
In this article, I present a simple program to reduce social media usage and protect yourself from it. Excerpt: Most people are in an abusive relationship with social media and the intensity is only getting stronger despite what we used to predict in the past. The brutal truth is that social media usage has never […]
There are fundamental and incredibly obvious flaws with the theory behind self-improvement. In the big scheme of things, self-improvement is nothing but a treadmill for keeping people engaged. Here’s how the self-improvement money printer REALLY works: Step 1: Find your target audience. The target audience are people who aren’t happy and want more. Or in […]
One of my biggest dating mistakes (there are many) was talking to lukewarm women. It resulted in the most pain, wasted time, and a lot of frustration. And I wish, I’d become wiser earlier, but it is what it is. We have to live with the consequences of our actions as best as we can. […]
