I've got an independent social psychology project due on March the 9th, with a self-imposed deadline of March the 4th. Because the 4000 word report has to be handwritten and posted - after also transcribing two 30 minute interviews and performing a thematic analysis on them as well as all the other shit that goes in a report.
So it's safe to say i'll not get many books read over the next month. But i'm still gunna try to, and i'm currently trying to get through 59 seconds ~ Think a Little, Change a Lot Still popping into the bookstore on lunch a few times a week too. |
Just finished this..

It was written in very much the same way and even to the point that a lot of the stories and case studies and examples out of the Influence book were covered again in the 59 seconds book. Felt like I was wasting my time by going over behavioural & compliance stuff I've already learned about loads of times. Which is why I skimmed it. Gunna start another one here that I bought called The Tools ~ 5 Life changing techniques to unlock your potential. Yes I know, it's just a book and they'd need to be very fucking good techniques to be life changing but I'll give it a look anyway & see what it's about. |
Finished this last night..

1 The reversal of desire - For when you need to take an action you've been avoiding 2 Active love - For when someone enrages you and you can't get them out of your head 3 Inner authority - For intimidating situations, when you find it difficult to express yourself or engage with other people 4 Grateful flow - For when your mind is filled with worry, self-hatred, or any other form of negative thinking 5 Jeapardy - Basically knowing that you're gunna die some day, in order to spur you on It's very spiritually oriented. He keeps banging on about the "higher power" & all that shit. Anyways, although I do have an important project to work on, the next book I have in my hand I'm really excited about.. Internet Riches ~ the simple money making secrets of online millionaires |
I think reading lots of books seems like a good idea, but in reality it's better to read one and try out the ideas mentioned in the book. Try to implement them in your daily life. Even if you manage to change one thing or pick one good habit from one book it's better than knowing 1000 things but not doing them.

Valid points.
Of which they are timely because the writer of this book.. Quote:
He goes on saying that he wants us, the reader, to have a convenient and consistent place to write down our ideas and responses to these exercises. "If you follow along and make an honest attempt to participate in all the exercises, you'll soon see those pages filling up with great ideas that could change your life." I'm usually full of scepticism about such claims. For example.. Quote:
However, I am serious about entrepreneurship and for that reason I'm going to take this book and associated exercises seriously. Particularly since I'm now more interested in the online entrepreneurial avenues. Got nothing to lose by paying attention to the guidance. |

Have you read the 4 Hour Work Week yet? Sure I read you started this somewhere. This changed me big time |
Quote:
However.. If you want to be a serious entrepreneur and taken seriously as one, you're gunna be pulling 60, 80, 100 hour weeks. Not by being a lazy ass expecting to be a millionaire driving a supercar without working your bollocks off for it. |

Gotta be inspirational reading that stuff. (Yeah having said that I've not started any & am always powering my way though self-development and knowledge books) |
I prefer motivational stuff from cunts who've actually done it. Cunts who were fearless and went after their dream relentlessly.
This guy is solid gold ~ Patrick Bet-David, virtual mentor to many including myself.. https://youtu.be/ytchGSaA5-g His channel is filled with solid content, free, uploaded regularly, and this is absolutely the best channel on the internet for entrepreneurs. As for Mike Tysons book, The Undithputed Truth. My sister read that too. Yeah I guess there's not many people on the planet who can say they burned their through 300 million and lived to tell tales to the grandkids. |
