    He didn't really say much about the book. It's a really good book. Do the work, then you'll have done the work. That's the basic message!
    Try not to be scared of girls, we're just regular people like you! Treat us as people, not objects you really want to do it with, or a goal you're trying to score, and that's a good start to make a woman feel comfortable around you.

    Truly a channel worth subscribing to. In fact, I re watch your videos every now and then, whenever I feel that my motivation level is dropping, or I need to raise my mindset from the daily trivial stuff into a mindset closer to those of the happy, productive people.
    Thanks for all those videos.

    It is as written in the Litany Against Fear: I will face my fear. I Let it pass over me and through me. It is not to purge yourself of fear but to embrace and take action in spite of fear.

  • @MarkFlavin1
    @MarkFlavin1 9 років тому +6

    Great video I have been watching all your videos for a while now and have held off commenting for many of the reasons you shared about publishing a video. For what it is worth, I really appreciate you pushing past your fear and sharing these ideas. Channels like yours have really helped me to push past my own fears and share myself more genuinely with those around me.
    One of the weirdest fears I have is sharing with people that I am am working on myself. I feel like we have some sort of bias or there was a memo that I didn't get that makes it clear that adults should be both perfect and all f!ed up at the same time. Even with close friends I find that it is really hard to ask 'have you ever wondered if this is all there is' or even 'why can guys cry if they are sad'.
    So yea we all have fears and some of them are perhaps weirder than others. So thank you for putting yourself out there it has made a huge difference in my life and I am sure in many others as well.

    This is one of my favorite books, not just the way it's written, but it's like one of the biggest 'kick in the asS' books you can find. It's written almost like a constitution to defining and defeating the enemy of fear which I find unique and epic. I highly recommend Tony Robbin's 'Awaken The Giant Within' and Robert B. Cialdini's 'Influence: The Psychology of Persuasion' keep up the awesome work bro!

Your last video "Ego is the Enemy" seems to be an accurate summary of the book, great job! This type of videos would be greatly appreciated in the future :-)
    Regarding "Man's Search for Meaning", is it as simple as you portray it, or is there more to it than in the video? Thanks!

    I'm in Network Marketing and I also read tons of books. My music has been replaced with audio books and motivational speeches. My "old" friends think I am the weirdest person on the face of this earth. I'm 18 and we were literally in the same class 8 months ago... Funny how real books can change your life!

      Objective: I would like to interview people outdoors and I would like to purchase equipment according to a budget of $170.
      Q: What are your thoughts about GoPro Hero?
      Q: I am concerned about sound quality, have you used any particular microphones (that can be attached to GoPro Hero) that you really liked and were more than satisfied with sound quality?
      Thank you very much for taking the time to read my post.

    This video is a helluva lot better than the book. The book itself was complete crap.
