Before I watch this video I want to say THANK YOU! Because after watching your videos and subscribing to your channel for the last few months I started to apply what you were teaching to my UA-cam channel and this week I finally reached 100k subscribers and my views are great! Thanks dude! And now I’ll be watching this video 🎉
Lidia I just found your channel today!👌🏽 Feels like a beautiful coincidence to see you here, in this video that Dan is inspiring me with. Sending all my love to all creators out there, overcoming inner challenges to be seen and share their perspectives and experiences. Soon I’ll be on the road like both of you. 🔑
No disrespect & congrats but you’re homeless. Not sure how giving him credit for this serves as encouragement. I guess if you get rich from UA-cam, it’ll be worth it but this shouldn’t be something for most people to aspire to, especially people with kids.
I feel like this is similar to Joseph Campbell's Hero's Journey. But it is even more refined. Mostly people want to look at a few things in a hero's journey. Acquiring something, escaping something or from someone, getting back something which is lost. It quickly throws you into a state of flow. Which also is in line with Blair Warren's forbidden rules to persuasion where he tells you that you cannot put a finger when a person gets immersed into a movie. You can never know the exact moment. This is pure gold. Thank you so much Dan

People with kids & no money are doomed. Non of this will help. For some, the stars may align but especially single moms with no family support or mentors, the game ended day one 😂
@@JilianToree Not true, brother! Although it seems very natural to think that way, this is a conclusion of the known ("programmed") path of life. Children are not a burden, they can accompany you through your journey. And money is not always the answer, the need or the problem, there is a big part of history, where people lived without the use of money. There always is a solution that can fully satisfy your needs, it just is very hard to take off the "right" road sometimes.
@@МартинБойчев-д5б That "part of history" without money was perhaps in the stone age. Come to reality my dear instead of telling us how wonderful it is to raise children with no money. Without money you have nothing: education, health, food, house, I mean anything. Yes, you can live like a wild animal in the forest, or in tribes in the jungle, maybe that's what you meant.
@@carmenjknsorry you feel that way… that your reality is the only reality… obviously money is necessary but significantly less money is needed that what most believe… food, water, clothing, shelter, love… I raised three beautiful kids on a less than modest income, though it obviously took a village… when I say that, I mean I didn’t have to pay for child care because we are of the belief that children should be looked after by a family unit of relatives and close friends. As the comment you criticized mentioned, a lot of the ideas around money are social conditioning through a capitalist system preying on a massive poor class encouraged to consume beyond their means. One can raise a family on modest means - not every kid needs designer clothes, iPhones, iPads, video game consoles, and endless toys - in fact, because they have those very things are why our society is so broken. Wish you well
“Narrows your mind and makes you dumb.” Absolutely. I noticed this everytime I went on Twitter and got sucked in. I witnessed in full awareness, this happening within me, my attention and energy. Becoming a non player character - no control in your own game.
Key Points from the UA-cam Video "How To Turn Your Life Into An Addictive Video Game": ### 00:00:00 - Introduction to the Flow State - **Flow State**: A state of peak experience with maximum enjoyment and productivity. - **Autotelic Activity**: Activities done for their own sake, not for future benefits. - **Lack of Clarity**: Society often lacks clarity on life goals, leading to mundane tasks and lack of meaning. - **Analogy to Video Games**: The speaker uses video games like World of Warcraft to illustrate flow and the importance of finding enjoyable and fulfilling roles in life. ### 00:05:00 - Control and Order in Video Games - **Quests and Skill Development**: Video games provide structure, helping focus and eliminate distractions. - **Hierarchy of Goals**: Society mirrors this structure but can become mundane. - **Questioning Beliefs**: Encourages growth and understanding by questioning absolute truths. ### 00:10:00 - Setting Personal Goals - **Clear Goals**: Essential for focus and progress. - **Flow State of Consciousness**: Achieved by minimizing distractions and maximizing focus. - **New Challenges**: Encourages seeking new experiences to find meaning. ### 00:15:00 - The Law of Reversed Effort and Identity - **Letting Go**: Emphasizes not forcing things in life. - **Identity and Choices**: Our identity is shaped by our choices and perspectives. - **Distractions**: Being aware of distractions and aligning choices with long-term goals. ### 00:20:00 - The Trap of Responsibilities and Chaos - **Bubble of Responsibilities**: Leads to chaos and stress. - **Entropy**: The enemy causing stress and anxiety. - **Flow State**: Focus on meaningful tasks to combat chaos. ### 00:25:00 - States and Stages of Consciousness - **States vs. Stages**: States are temporary, while stages represent baseline development. - **Psychic Entropy**: Addressing mental disorder through personal development. ### 00:30:00 - Overcoming Entropy - **Mind Game**: Overcoming negative thoughts through structured habits. - **Four Habits**: Building mind, body, business, and connection. - **Enjoyment from Progress**: True enjoyment comes from growth. ### 00:35:00 - Intrinsic Drivers and Anti-Vision - **Intrinsic Drivers**: Curiosity, passion, purpose, autonomy, and mastery. - **Neurochemical Cocktail**: Drivers help enter the flow state. - **Anti-Vision**: Understanding what we don't want helps identify goals. ### 00:40:00 - Focusing on Personal Goals - **Avoid External Dramas**: Focus on personal goals instead of societal issues. - **Entrepreneurship**: A mindset for controlling life's enjoyment. ### 00:45:00 - One-Person Business Model - **Attracting an Audience**: Sharing personal lessons and monetizing through products. - **Starting Projects**: Emphasizes learning by doing and setting real-world deadlines. ### 00:50:00 - Importance of Personal Projects - **Creating Meaning**: Personal projects create wonder and dopamine. - **Learning and Teaching**: Apply knowledge to projects and teach others for better learning. ### 00:55:00 - Mastery and Learning - **Immersing in the Unknown**: Mastery through repetition and exposure. - **Noticing Patterns**: Learn from a big-picture perspective to notice patterns and truths. - **Sharing Knowledge**: Encourages sharing the video for mutual benefit.
This is why I have always been free spirited. Life is an adventure regardless of whatever it is you are facing. Challenges are actually the whole point of living. Just imagine a world without challenges. Exactly!
Dan "Koe-mercial"... Love your style... It's about accepting frustration, repetition, and collaboration with the "self" - The "reflection". Acceptance of "nobody's coming." Abandoning materialism for a moment to moments, from moments to momentum, to momentous. The magnum opus awaits only the brush strokes from the hands you tie behind your back.
Being going through some things… it’s being a year now.. this parasite really drained my wholesome for way too long now, don’t wish this on anyone.. trying to keep going day by day.. thanks for the video
33:49 brother this was mind blowing. I recently lost my mom and have been gravitating more towards pleasure than actually enjoying accomplishing hard tasks because I'm trying to mask my pain through pleasure . I will get back to it. Thank you.
If people actually listen to what you say, god damn. You packed A LOT of wisdom, new ideas, and out of the box ideological approaches to life. Well done, really appreciated listening to you and your ideas!
@@DanKoeTalks awesome man - I will reach out later this year. Your book has already changed my life. Keep going and you will be on the Mount Rushmore of creators that shaped the world in the 21st century.
This shows how we react to changes! Everybody reacts to changed style of videos, but after some time, it's going to be normal! Even me vote for old style video but after I think clearly about it I found at that my brain shows reaction to changes! Honestly, it's not different that you do it short or long until your content remains one of the best on UA-cam! Love you, man, and thank you
I used my world of Warcraft grind mindset to go from ugly, unsuccessful, obese, sickly, and anxious/depressed, to handsome, successful, athletic, healthy, and mentally healthy. People do not realize that if you grind in real life, you can achieve things. Growing up playing world of Warcraft is the reason I believe I have such intense “if I’m going to go after a goal I will push until I achieve it”. Grinding for special mounts, like the Nether Rays in Outland, takes time and focus. You have to kill hundreds and hundreds of the same monsters over and over, and turn their loot in for faction towards some bird people. If you reach exalted status with them, you earn a neat looking flying mount. This took me like 18 hours to do in game. I could have given up, but I could see what I could achieve if I pushed on. Growing up playing games that reward work and time like that I think really wired my brain for success. I am one of those people that sets a goal and stops at nothing to achieve it. I push myself , I focus , and I will grind until I achieve the goal. I’m glad someone is finally drawing connections between a game like world of the Warcraft, and the real world. There are so many amazing parallels that once harnessed you can achieve whatever you want. People don’t realize that you unlock immense power. I realized all of this on my own and I wish I could have sooner….and I am so happy that someone else is putting it into a video and putting it out there for people to see. This is invaluable advice here. This mindset changed my whole life. It was one of those “holy shit, the world is just like the game”
I love the grounded reality of this channel!!! Retirement took a toll on my finances, but with my involvement in the digital market, $47,000 weekly returns has been life changing. AWESOME GOD❤️
Only God knows how much grateful i am. After so much struggles I now own a new house and my family is happy once again everything is finally falling into place!!
This video-piece builds the key bridges for any of us who have been trying to navigate the infamous realms of philosophy, productivity, & how to make money doing what you love.
Paused at 33 minutes in, as a teenager your videos are really helpful to use as my compass in life and really find my true potential, loving the video and its values, ive learned so much. Also nice editing Dan hahaha, though i usually listen with my phone off
Hello Dan, fellow creative writer here ... thank you so much for this video. It was brilliant. I have just finished watching it over dinner - but I would like to go through each part so I can process each phase deeper. Thank you for your service unto mankind.
The art of flow. Intent, focus, and desensitisation is the key to finding your passion and then success and freedom. This is a masterpiece, i love this as it is very similar to my first 3 projects. Stay Uncommon!
Dan, this is fucking cool dude. Also, I have to thank you because I finally, FINALLY started believing in myself and the world is beginning to respond to me in the way that I want to. I managed to gain 2 clients from my editing services. The money wasn't much but it's a start for where I'm coming from. I can feel myself growing into that character that you talk about, the higher being who operates on a higher frequency. After a decade in the military, battling depression, anxiety and self esteem issues - I finally feel that I can be of service to others.
DUDE… I have followed your channel for the last couple of months, but this video is a “Game Changer”. Not to minimize your other videos because I found great value and inspiration from just about all of those that I have watched/listened to, but man, this is on a different level! Keep on keeping on! You are truly inspiring!
Awesome video! I just started working out, wake up time, sobriety, counting the macros, and I’ve had these thoughts that I’m the main avatar, I’m the main player in this simulation. That I’m in control, and this video just puts it all together, thank you for putting this video out. Goals now to get out of the rat race, the end goal is to achieve ultimate time and financial freedom. Learning how to play the game of life. Thanks again!
Such a great video. I need long videos like this for my runs. Disregard the people saying they want shorter videos please. This is one of the best videos I've watched in the past couple years
Apart from the truly enlightening and valuable content, I can't be thankful enough that you've also learned how to speak -without filler words for example. As a non-native english speaker it helps me more than you'd think. Thank you.
It feels truly a privilege to be able to learn from a beautiful mind like yours. The quality is cinematic and the care is reflected in your eyes glowing with passion. Thank you Dan, we appreciate you so much!
Genuinely one of your best videos yet. I've been self-employed for a year now and I made the decision to take control of my life because of your videos. Keep up the good work man!
Hi Dan! I’ve been following your videos for some time. The way you combine mindset with video games and the black-and-white minimalism really resonates with me. I love your animations, and this video is definitely A MASTERPIECE. It should be shown to everyone who has the level of awareness to understand that they need to change. Thank you very much for sharing all these teachings.
"Entrepreneurship is the only logical option for longterm thinkers, entrepreneurship is a mindset not a title." - You have no idea for how long has this kind of thought been inside my head. I knew creating my own way will be the only way I can be happy in this world and society but I still kept on pushing it away coz it felt scary, distant, overwhelming. I also believed that if I don’t come from a family with at least one entrepreneur from whom I could learn, it will be impossible for me to know how to start. Well, it still is scary, but I do it anyway.
Dan koe is on of the best self improvement creators in our time. Thanks for taking the time to make these life changing videos for all to learn and grow from. 🔥
Previously, I would throw on your videos and just listen to it like a podcast because I knew that I wouldn’t be missing much visually. Now, I find myself watching this new video style and I absolutely love it because every chapter is refreshing and new. It keeps you wondering what comes next. Lastly, I want to note that I listen to your videos almost every week. And every time I get something new from it. With these visuals not only am I learning something new but I’m finding a new way to understand your concepts and teachings. Thanks Dan 🤘🏼
whenever I watch your video I always feel that my mind's consciousness expanded. I get this rage, overwhelming feeling that oh yeah that is it I can achieve more now. the little neuron's cell started to make connection with one another and everything make sense... So Thank you for everything, Dan Love your content. always.
Thank you Dan ! I turn to your videos whenever I need grounding . I am working on becoming a one person business and your videos are essential in keeping my resolve . 🎉
Dan just set a new standard for himself. If this is the type of videos we are gonna get in future. I am not sure about others, but I am ready for waiting a few more weeks.
I can't thank you enough for the quality of information that you share for absolutely FREE. You have opened my mind to new ideas and possibilities that would not have found their way if I did not start watching your channel 🙏🏾
My boys (age 7 and 12) are avid gamers. They often tell me their theory about life being just like a computer game. They speak about “spawning in” in various locations and “uplevelling”, unlocking new challenges or beating bosses, the various potentials and we talk about the players in the game, the avatar and who is controlling it! They are growing up understanding this whole concept and it’s mind blowing when we have these convos, I love it! Spawning in on this planet seems to be just like a game, on some level we are choosing. It’s all about the play. The journey/learning - not the winning/end game. PS my kids don’t go to school 🙃
Wow now this is a level up!!! Astonished with the cinematic turn the content has experienced. The smooth infographics and dynamic illustrations give even more depth and allow for further focus on the message. Thank you Dan, you're definitely going to the top
Hands down your best and most practically applicable video until now Dan. I have been following you for a long time now, and it's so wonderful to see yourself evolve too, from those philosophical talks and rants early on, to this. Keep going, you have really helped me adapt the flow state in my life upto a substantial extent.
Phenomenal video/presentation. You've truly helped me to shift my perspective toward self-improvement and life, in general. I truly appreciate the insight, advice and wisdom you have shared. I am going to make an effort starting today to work on my business in order to free myself from the anxiety and uncertainty of the future, not to mention the stress of living day to day. Sincerely, I want to thank you for the value you have shared from your life to mine, free of charge but I certainly paid attention. A lot of information to digest, I may have end up watching again lol. I write this now to thank you as well as an affirmation to myself to commit to my work of self-improvement in health, wealth, independence and interpersonal relationships. It's been a difficult few months, I am grateful for you sharing this insight. Best wishes for you and your family always, peace.

@@JilianToree Not true, brother! Although it seems very natural to think that way, this is a conclusion of the known ("programmed") path of life. Children are not a burden, they can accompany you through your journey. And money is not always the answer, the need or the problem, there is a big part of history, where people lived without the use of money. There always is a solution that can fully satisfy your needs, it just is very hard to take off the "right" road sometimes.
@@МартинБойчев-д5б That "part of history" without money was perhaps in the stone age. Come to reality my dear instead of telling us how wonderful it is to raise children with no money.
Without money you have nothing: education, health, food, house, I mean anything. Yes, you can live like a wild animal in the forest, or in tribes in the jungle, maybe that's what you meant.
@@carmenjknsorry you feel that way… that your reality is the only reality… obviously money is necessary but significantly less money is needed that what most believe… food, water, clothing, shelter, love… I raised three beautiful kids on a less than modest income, though it obviously took a village… when I say that, I mean I didn’t have to pay for child care because we are of the belief that children should be looked after by a family unit of relatives and close friends. As the comment you criticized mentioned, a lot of the ideas around money are social conditioning through a capitalist system preying on a massive poor class encouraged to consume beyond their means. One can raise a family on modest means - not every kid needs designer clothes, iPhones, iPads, video game consoles, and endless toys - in fact, because they have those very things are why our society is so broken.
Wish you well
@@Wperkall this yap depends on so many different factors. For some people, money is the only difference between fulfillment and desolation
“Narrows your mind and makes you dumb.”
Absolutely. I noticed this everytime I went on Twitter and got sucked in. I witnessed in full awareness, this happening within me, my attention and energy. Becoming a non player character - no control in your own game.
This new style of video is amazing. Thank you 🙏
The way you explained WoW to newbies is a classic that should be implemented in the game intro 🤩🤩

this is what i am searching for~ thank you~
This is why I have always been free spirited. Life is an adventure regardless of whatever it is you are facing. Challenges are actually the whole point of living. Just imagine a world without challenges. Exactly!
Dan "Koe-mercial"... Love your style... It's about accepting frustration, repetition, and collaboration with the "self" - The "reflection".
Acceptance of "nobody's coming."
Abandoning materialism for a moment to moments, from moments to momentum, to momentous.
The magnum opus awaits only the brush strokes from the hands you tie behind your back.
Loving the new production style!
The flow state is effortless - it obeys the law of reverse effort
Being going through some things… it’s being a year now.. this parasite really drained my wholesome for way too long now, don’t wish this on anyone.. trying to keep going day by day.. thanks for the video
only thing that worked for me was 'Unveiling Your Hiidden Potential' by Bruce Thornwood
Bullshit
33:49 brother this was mind blowing. I recently lost my mom and have been gravitating more towards pleasure than actually enjoying accomplishing hard tasks because I'm trying to mask my pain through pleasure . I will get back to it. Thank you.
“How to Solo Level”
If people actually listen to what you say, god damn. You packed A LOT of wisdom, new ideas, and out of the box ideological approaches to life. Well done, really appreciated listening to you and your ideas!
HOW CAN I GET YOU ON THE POD???
We just had on Cole Hastings. Please brother!
Yeah we need him on the pod
Heads down for a bit with Kortex launch/prep but would be down sometime October!
@@DanKoeTalks awesome man - I will reach out later this year. Your book has already changed my life. Keep going and you will be on the Mount Rushmore of creators that shaped the world in the 21st century.
This shows how we react to changes! Everybody reacts to changed style of videos, but after some time, it's going to be normal! Even me vote for old style video but after I think clearly about it I found at that my brain shows reaction to changes! Honestly, it's not different that you do it short or long until your content remains one of the best on UA-cam! Love you, man, and thank you
I prefer Jennerrr’s advice.
Lean into your unfair advantage.
If you have connections/mentors in a certain industry then lean into that!
hey thanks bud - but Dan's advice here is INCREDIBLE
That's a part of the vid - discovering and leaning into it
@@DanKoeTalks true - "how can I design a life that gives me a sense of control".
leaning into your unfair advantages is a huge part of that.
I used my world of Warcraft grind mindset to go from ugly, unsuccessful, obese, sickly, and anxious/depressed, to handsome, successful, athletic, healthy, and mentally healthy. People do not realize that if you grind in real life, you can achieve things.
Growing up playing world of Warcraft is the reason I believe I have such intense “if I’m going to go after a goal I will push until I achieve it”. Grinding for special mounts, like the Nether Rays in Outland, takes time and focus. You have to kill hundreds and hundreds of the same monsters over and over, and turn their loot in for faction towards some bird people. If you reach exalted status with them, you earn a neat looking flying mount. This took me like 18 hours to do in game. I could have given up, but I could see what I could achieve if I pushed on.
Growing up playing games that reward work and time like that I think really wired my brain for success. I am one of those people that sets a goal and stops at nothing to achieve it. I push myself , I focus , and I will grind until I achieve the goal.
I’m glad someone is finally drawing connections between a game like world of the Warcraft, and the real world. There are so many amazing parallels that once harnessed you can achieve whatever you want. People don’t realize that you unlock immense power.
I realized all of this on my own and I wish I could have sooner….and I am so happy that someone else is putting it into a video and putting it out there for people to see. This is invaluable advice here. This mindset changed my whole life. It was one of those “holy shit, the world is just like the game”
I love the grounded reality of this channel!!!
Retirement took a toll on my finances, but with my involvement in the digital market, $47,000 weekly returns has been life changing. AWESOME GOD❤️
Only God knows how much grateful i am. After so much struggles I now own a new house and my family is happy once again everything is finally falling into place!!
Wow that's huge, how do you make that much monthly?
I'm 35 and have been looking for ways to be successful, please how??
Thanks to my co-worker (Scott) who suggested Mrs Maria Angelina🙏.
She's a licensed broker in the states 🇺🇸
This is ONE of the BEST videos I have watched in YEARS!! Thank You for motivating me again! New Subscriber! :)
I'd appreciate of you could keep your videos under 20 min like in good old times. Thanks.
I don't think there was ever a good old times where I posted videos under 20 mins
I will continue to post long videos. Thanks.
Yeah,love u from Pakistan❤
Where of Pakistan @@abdullahtahir9622
@@DanKoeTalksmake more long vids this was 🧠🔥
Pffft people have audacity.
This video-piece builds the key bridges for any of us who have been trying to navigate the infamous realms of philosophy, productivity, & how to make money doing what you love.
TURN THE MUSIC DOWN
OK
Focus
Lmao music boomin
😂
Clam down my man
You are a modern day pastor.
I love your mind. You have a perspective that has brought me some clarity.
Dan. This presentation is incredible. Very direct, succinct and relevant. Im a new subscriber
Paused at 33 minutes in, as a teenager your videos are really helpful to use as my compass in life and really find my true potential, loving the video and its values, ive learned so much. Also nice editing Dan hahaha, though i usually listen with my phone off
Hello Dan, fellow creative writer here ... thank you so much for this video. It was brilliant. I have just finished watching it over dinner - but I would like to go through each part so I can process each phase deeper. Thank you for your service unto mankind.
The art of flow. Intent, focus, and desensitisation is the key to finding your passion and then success and freedom. This is a masterpiece, i love this as it is very similar to my first 3 projects. Stay Uncommon!
Dan, this is fucking cool dude.
Also, I have to thank you because I finally, FINALLY started believing in myself and the world is beginning to respond to me in the way that I want to. I managed to gain 2 clients from my editing services. The money wasn't much but it's a start for where I'm coming from. I can feel myself growing into that character that you talk about, the higher being who operates on a higher frequency.
After a decade in the military, battling depression, anxiety and self esteem issues - I finally feel that I can be of service to others.
Dan is playing the life is a video game here experimenting new animations and style
You're a legend 👏
DUDE… I have followed your channel for the last couple of months, but this video is a “Game Changer”. Not to minimize your other videos because I found great value and inspiration from just about all of those that I have watched/listened to, but man, this is on a different level!
Keep on keeping on! You are truly inspiring!
You know you have a genuine person/creative when he's giving so much 'gold' away, in one single video piece, for free.
I am really loving this new style. It feels new, fresh, and unique. Also highly researched. Well done as always Dan! Thank you for your perspectives.
Awesome video! I just started working out, wake up time, sobriety, counting the macros, and I’ve had these thoughts that I’m the main avatar, I’m the main player in this simulation. That I’m in control, and this video just puts it all together, thank you for putting this video out. Goals now to get out of the rat race, the end goal is to achieve ultimate time and financial freedom. Learning how to play the game of life. Thanks again!
Bro.. I'm happy that I found ur page. Truly enjoying ur content. I work the graveyard shift and I'm a fan of the long videos
Such a great video. I need long videos like this for my runs. Disregard the people saying they want shorter videos please. This is one of the best videos I've watched in the past couple years
You my friend are dropping straight gems here thank you
Apart from the truly enlightening and valuable content, I can't be thankful enough that you've also learned how to speak -without filler words for example.
As a non-native english speaker it helps me more than you'd think.
Thank you.
It feels truly a privilege to be able to learn from a beautiful mind like yours. The quality is cinematic and the care is reflected in your eyes glowing with passion. Thank you Dan, we appreciate you so much!
I only listen to long videos, as I am doing other things. I appreciate your time that you have invested into our experience. Thank you.
Another level up in content quality. Just the quality of the animations and the editing here is inspiring
Dan is always developing, so inspiring to see.
Genuinely one of your best videos yet. I've been self-employed for a year now and I made the decision to take control of my life because of your videos. Keep up the good work man!
Fantastic stuff Dan. So far I listened to the podcast twice and watched this twice. I keep finding gem at each pass
A true masterclass, that no one will regret
The World Is Yours Dan Keep Striving To Inspire Us All To Be The Best Versions Of Ourselves
Hi Dan! I’ve been following your videos for some time. The way you combine mindset with video games and the black-and-white minimalism really resonates with me.
I love your animations, and this video is definitely A MASTERPIECE.
It should be shown to everyone who has the level of awareness to understand that they need to change.
Thank you very much for sharing all these teachings.
"Entrepreneurship is the only logical option for longterm thinkers, entrepreneurship is a mindset not a title." - You have no idea for how long has this kind of thought been inside my head. I knew creating my own way will be the only way I can be happy in this world and society but I still kept on pushing it away coz it felt scary, distant, overwhelming. I also believed that if I don’t come from a family with at least one entrepreneur from whom I could learn, it will be impossible for me to know how to start.
Well, it still is scary, but I do it anyway.
Dan koe is on of the best self improvement creators in our time. Thanks for taking the time to make these life changing videos for all to learn and grow from. 🔥
Previously, I would throw on your videos and just listen to it like a podcast because I knew that I wouldn’t be missing much visually.
Now, I find myself watching this new video style and I absolutely love it because every chapter is refreshing and new. It keeps you wondering what comes next.
Lastly, I want to note that I listen to your videos almost every week. And every time I get something new from it. With these visuals not only am I learning something new but I’m finding a new way to understand your concepts and teachings.
Thanks Dan 🤘🏼
whenever I watch your video
I always feel that my mind's consciousness expanded.
I get this rage, overwhelming feeling that oh yeah that is it I can achieve more now.
the little neuron's cell started to make connection with one another and everything make sense...
So Thank you for everything, Dan
Love your content.
always.
Intro is so good I had to switch from Koe Cast to Koe Talks and it even got better 😭😭
Rewatching this for pure art, entertainment and wisdom that Dan dropped on us in this video. Big Thank you! 😊❤
Best video you've ever made! Crazy value G
Love this new style, always great to experiment with new stuff. Keep it up Dan!
I learning english with your videos. Thanks dan! Your voice is clean, it´s easy for listening
WHAT AN AMAZING VIDEO! Loved this!
Dan, this video is amazing! It changed my perspective and helped me gain clarity on next steps. I'm very thankful for the information you share!
Thank you Dan ! I turn to your videos whenever I need grounding . I am working on becoming a one person business and your videos are essential in keeping my resolve . 🎉
I like how I had a deep theory about this & you orchestrated this so beautiful hats off to you
Dan has been an ongoing source of inspiration for my online business journey
I love how much depth this video had.
Dan just set a new standard for himself. If this is the type of videos we are gonna get in future. I am not sure about others, but I am ready for waiting a few more weeks.
I can't thank you enough for the quality of information that you share for absolutely FREE. You have opened my mind to new ideas and possibilities that would not have found their way if I did not start watching your channel 🙏🏾
I just found you recently, and you are absolutely astonishing. I am inspired beyond words. Thank you.
I wish someone talked about this stuff while I was young. Immense value for FREE. Thanks Dan. You are doing God's work.
One of the best videos i've ever seen 👏
Love these lengthy, thought provoking videos.
Love yours newsletter, it's long but it is packed with value, deep and life changing. Really worth of reading. Thank you Dan for your amazing work. ❤
My boys (age 7 and 12) are avid gamers. They often tell me their theory about life being just like a computer game. They speak about “spawning in” in various locations and “uplevelling”, unlocking new challenges or beating bosses, the various potentials and we talk about the players in the game, the avatar and who is controlling it!
They are growing up understanding this whole concept and it’s mind blowing when we have these convos, I love it!
Spawning in on this planet seems to be just like a game, on some level we are choosing.
It’s all about the play. The journey/learning - not the winning/end game.
PS my kids don’t go to school 🙃
Wow now this is a level up!!! Astonished with the cinematic turn the content has experienced. The smooth infographics and dynamic illustrations give even more depth and allow for further focus on the message. Thank you Dan, you're definitely going to the top
Hands down your best and most practically applicable video until now Dan. I have been following you for a long time now, and it's so wonderful to see yourself evolve too, from those philosophical talks and rants early on, to this. Keep going, you have really helped me adapt the flow state in my life upto a substantial extent.
Phenomenal video/presentation. You've truly helped me to shift my perspective toward self-improvement and life, in general. I truly appreciate the insight, advice and wisdom you have shared. I am going to make an effort starting today to work on my business in order to free myself from the anxiety and uncertainty of the future, not to mention the stress of living day to day. Sincerely, I want to thank you for the value you have shared from your life to mine, free of charge but I certainly paid attention. A lot of information to digest, I may have end up watching again lol. I write this now to thank you as well as an affirmation to myself to commit to my work of self-improvement in health, wealth, independence and interpersonal relationships. It's been a difficult few months, I am grateful for you sharing this insight. Best wishes for you and your family always, peace.
