Love eggs too! Eat 4 every morning for breakfast with an avocado.

?Thanks! I think I could make a much better one in the future but that was just me in a room one-take speaking from the heart. Appreciate you watching it!

I'm a big fan of CBT! You could also check out How to Stop Worrying and Start Living by Dale Carnegie. It's a masterpiece as well.

Big fan of both sites - especially in combination with each other.

?Great mission!

Love seeing another journal up here! Keep it up.

Hey Alex! Love reading your updates and really appreciate you contributing to share your thoughts with others. My "to-do" read list is so long. Last I checked it was 247 lol. But I like knowing which books I want to read in the future so I actually get to them. What is your next-book going to be?

Hey! Welcome to the forum. Great to have you join us here.

Zoo sounds like a blast!

Great job man! Proud of you.

Hey Bruce! Thanks for joining us here! The key is to find new activities to replace gaming. That way you aren't sitting around bored all day long which is when you'll want to play. Games are just your outlet, the way you spend all your time, so it's about finding new ways to do that instead. For ideas you can check out 60+ Hobby Ideas. Let us know if you have any questions!

Not sure if I've shared this article with you but I like it a lot for the focusing on long-term goals.

Haha always a good book to read about whatever you're looking to learn.

Great job! Being tempted to play is normal. Watch this video on dealing with cravings:

A DUCK!? That's amazing.

We've got your back!

?Great book! I'd also recommend The Alabaster Girl by Zan Perrion, The Way of the Superior Man by David Deida and No More Mr. Nice Guy by Robert Glover. Lol.

Great article! Can't wait to read his book. I'm very familiar with the pros/cons of the "PUA" community. I think there's a lot of truth mixed in everywhere. From my experience having met thousands of guys in the "PUA" community, I've found the vast majority of them are really just nice guys who want to treat women well who desire to have more control over that side of their life. They have been rejected/friendzoned growing up (the power dynamics between girls and boys in mid-teen years is quite substantial), and after so many years (a certain % will just "check out" and play video games instead...) what happens is they realize they are either going to end up alone or they are going to have to settle for the "one" girl who seems to like them. So they start looking for answers and, at least when The Game was written back in 2000, there were very few answers out there aside from relationship advice from women (lol) or the PUA community. Combine the PUA advice (analytical & structured for a group of guys who tend to be analytical thinkers) with the community (band of brothers) and it's easy to see why it was so popular. As a bonus, you have a society who says this community is bad... which only hardens them together (you see the same thing with society's shaming of the gaming community). The problem was what these guys wanted: meaningful authentic connections with women wasn't what the advice taught. The advice was very much centered around quick gimmicks that got attention (imagine never having attention from women and then going to a bar with a funny hat on and getting A LOT of attention). You can say "external validation"... so what happens is they continue to chase that (no different than gaming and how it warps you to chase instant gratification), and over time they have some degree of "success"... but very few get what they are looking for, and now they are also oddly socially uncalibrated. But the truth is... they are good guys trying to do good in the world, but the advice they receive puts them down the wrong path. Fortunately nowadays you have a lot more quality information for guys like this (Tynan, The Art of Charm, Zan Perrion's book The Alabaster Girl, Mark Manson's book Models, my friends at Charisma on Command amongst many others.)

Have a great recess! I made these two videos this summer that I think can apply to you if you haven't seen them: - What To Do During Your Summer Break Instead Of Gaming - How To Make Your Summer Break Awesome

This will definitely be happening.

Happy you're enjoying podcasts!

?This is all about being the change you want to see in the world. I'm the same "a little bit friendlier than the normal person" type and people's reactions are so great when you catch them off guard.

?I think this is a topic/video I should do (so many gamers have this problem lol...) but it's not a problem I specifically had. If I was going to cover it, what would the key points be from your gamer perspective?

Hey Trevor! Great to have you join us here. You signing up made my day. Seriously!

It will get easier! Try to get out of the house as much as possible - it will help a lot.
