I was probably in my late teens when I first read this book. Today I am 70 years old and living a life for which most people could only hope. I wish nothing but the best for all of you. Take action!
Hello, I was fascinated by the comment. I am a 15 year old teenager and I am really confused about life, work, and success as a whole. So I am looking for some lessons from others. Can I contact you by any chance? The fact that you said you are living a really good life and you are 70 years old, you will have a lot of lessons about what I seek. Is there any way I can contact you Sir?
My parents bought this book for themselves when i was little and i randomly found it in some junk in the house as an adult lol. Such a great read. Sub!
Man, you have an amazing voice for RU-vid and other media platforms. On top of that, I like the way you're very organised which shows you're intelligent and very focused on becoming your best version. Thank you very much for this video!
At one point in my life I needed “popular books” writing by thinkers like Robert Greene, Maxwell Maltz, Steven Covey, and even books on NLP. However, my understanding of life, nature, the self, and reality deepened when I started reading Depth-psychology classical philosophy, and mythology. Thinkers like Joseph Campbell, Carl Jung, Carl Rogers, Erich Fromm, Plato. Also, economist like Thomas Sowell and Milton Friedman. The thinkers I mentioned are extremely challenging, but reading books like Psycho-cybernetics and evething Robert Greene allowed me to understand the basics and go deeper into my journey!
@@cleanestmanonearth5762 Joseph Campbells “The Hero with a thousand Faces” is the best. You’ll realize why movies like Star Wars have such a cultural impact and why we seek to develop ourselves through challenge! Great reviews..Keep going!!
It is so refreshing to hear that someone has discovered the classics! I'm not the only one. When I started reading books by the authors that you mentioned I was able understand the world better.
I used to believe in this type of message. You have to visualize something first before you can experience it. Now I don't believe that. What is visualisation? It's just another word for a goal. There is nothing magic about it. We have a goal and we works towards it. I think the problem for most people is that they dream too big. And because their dream is so big they don't really believe they can achieve it, so they don't try most of the time. I know believe it is better to have small goals that are achievable and when you reach that goal, create the next achievable level and go for it. Example: You are a 12 handicap golfer that wants to be scratch. That's a huge gap in golfing ability. Instead of saying my goal is to be scratch, make your goal the 9 handicap mark. This will be difficult but very achievable with hard work. When you become a 9 handicap for a while make your next goal 6 handicap. Again this is difficult but very achievable. ANd keep dropping the target handicap until you reach scratch. It may never happen but you will definitely be a much better golfer. I think that we only truly believe something when we see tangible results in real life. If you were a coward your whole life and backed down from every possible fight or confrontation I don't think visualising yourself as a brave warrior will help. The first sign of an actual fight and your subconscious will revert to type: run! Instead you could say ' Okay I have been a coward in the past but I am going to change'. So you join a boxing club and slowly but surely you work up to your first sparring session. You do it and your self image changes. 'Maybe I am not such a coward after all'. Your belief has changed because you have seen real evidence of it. Every night we can visualize a brick wall in our garden. We can do this for months and wait in hope/vain for it to appear somehow. Or else we can actually buy the bricks and build that wall, brick by brick. It may not be the best wall in the world but it will be built!
Thank you for your comment, I loved reading your perspective! I totally agree with you and I wish I made it clear in my video that there’s NOTHING magical about visualization. In fact, I used Connor Mcgregor as an example, he always uses the power of visualization but he is (or was) also the hardest worker in the room. I believe that there’s a HUGE benefit in using visualization but also being a hard and smart worker in life. As a matter of fact, I think people should first learn how to work hard and achieve small goals and then start using visualization to grow their goals and objectives.
I rarely subscribe after one video but for me this was it. Great content, I'll buy the book. Maybe next time add an affiliate link to the next book you recommend so we can support you. I really wanna see this channel grow.
Been through this book along with other visualization or manifestation books. Must say that there’s the same concept of feeling is the secret. However I’m looking forwards to meet people who actually leveled up using this methods.
They are all based on the Law of Attraction, so it makes sense that they have the same basic concept. Sometimes we need to learn about it with different words. Practice and you will get there. Cheers.
You'll never meet such people. They don't exist. What you will meet are people who were already on their way to the Top of whatever mountain they decided to climb and they read the book and it gave them extra energy to continue doing all the right things they were already doing. Maybe throwing in some visualization or some such stuff. What you WON'T find are people who were on the bottom, read the book, and used almost exclusively The Secret to "manifest" their success. You don't gain success by "manifesting" it! You gain success by WORKING FOR IT.
May I make a suggestion: It would be a great idea to make a guided meditation of the exercise you're describing here. It would be great for everyone to tune in daily (including myself) although I'm sure guiding a meditation is a tough skill of its own
Totally Agree. CBT, mindfulness, and Emotional Intelligence are great skill sets, that help you regulate emotion and to stay balanced and rational but they don't solve the fundamental issue that is at the core of all mental health, behavioral and performance issues - which is - Self Image and Self Interest. Adam Smith realized that intelligent self interest was a critical economical factor hundreds of years ago. It is the source of motivation, creativity and growth. It is the key to healing. Take care of yourself and you will help the world be a better place. Believe in yourself and you will shake off the chains of social order that enslave you. Religion teaches that you are a sinner - stay away from this programming which was only ever intended to keep you under someone's thumb. Stoicism helps with enduring and Existentialism helps with setting a course for your life, but at the foundation you must make a choice - to take care of yourself and to believe in yourself. Otherwise you go through life in a fog, you give up, you look for distractions and you never fulfill your potential. Good luck everyone.
Took me YEARS to find the original print that you have. Only a few people know about this book and what it can do for you. Do you have any recommendations on the visualization exercises? Like do you play music in the background or some audio telling you what to think?
I found it in a small library in the UK while I was on vacation - love the feel of the leather and it’s not remastered. Glad you found yours! I do not use any background music or anything like that. I love meditation so I first relax my mind and body, and I start the visualization process. I think that the best way to do it is to first be in a safe comfortable place and try to relax as much as possible by focusing on your breath. I’m working on a step by step guide that people could play in the background while I guide them towards their visualization exercise.
Love your book suggestion , just bought it on amazon :) Just curious, what is the reasoning for your channel name? It's an interesting one (in a good way)
Amazing, you’re going to love the book! Haha the name of the channel is because my businesses are mainly in the cleaning industry (drycleaners, laundromats etc.) my brother came out with that and it stuck lol
Did you also read Think and Grow Rich by Napoleon Hill since that book is almost the same thing and gives almost the same advice and exercises for you to follow.
Amazing book! T&GR is the first self help book I ever read in my life! Napoleon Hill loved doing some sort of meditation in a dark room and paper/pen on hand… I have to revisit that book!
That's why I like smaller channels they are doing something I am doing I actually read The Slight Edge but only started the PSychobook. Now I will read it for real and apply that. From your explanation it makes sense. If you do not imagine it it's like you can't do it. Can you jump or cross a small river if you do not imagine that you can do it? Everything we see around us was imagined by somebody else. e
❤ YOU ARE ABSOLUTELY RIGHT! The noisy inFLUencer RU-vidrs, Manifestation / LoA / Neville coaches are BOOOORING! Who needs #JakeDucey #ClarkKegley or the Alai guy, #JosephAlai (is he still broke and smoking? 🤭)
This could be a great channel if it didn´t have so many cuts. It makes the video hard to watch... and even with closed eyes - the flow is gone. Try to speak free and cut the cuts in your video´s by at least 90%..please. Great knowledge
Interesting how much Psycho-Cyberetics and TAGR have in common. They even give a practical to visualize and feel as if you've already achieved the goal and do it daily.
Psycho - Cybernetics; Think and Grow Rich; and The Four Agreements all have in common the principle of training the subconscious. When multiple books from different time periods and approaches hit the same point then validity is strengthened.
Tried it. It hyped me up and motivated me. No miracles occured. It is just very good motivation. As someone who was raised undeciplined this was quite helpful. However I am still such a wimp. Although I am exercising more, as soon as the burn starts I give up for the rest of the day.
Well turns out im still depressed cause even visualizing to getting all those things it doesnt matter. I will still sit behind my pc most of the time than doing what i like most. Regardless of the car / house / money etc. What is the point.
I feel you, I was there too. But nevertheless, if you believe in yourself and your goals, and work hard at it there’s no way you can’t do or have what you want. That’s my philosophy and trust me I was broke trying to find ways to pay my bills and slowly with time and dedication I was able to make the life that I truly enjoy. It only happened in my 30’s. I’m sending positive vibes your way! Keep it up!
👮♂️👮♂️👮♂️👮♂️👮♂️☎️☎️☎️☎️☎️☎️💲💲💲💲There is no self help non fiction books better than Robert Greene books. Have you read laws of human nature ,48 laws of power and the art of seduction and Mastery before ?
The lambo example is utterly errelavant. Plus to want a sports car that burn a gazzilion litres per 1 km in the 21st century.. you sure, cleanest man on earth?
Please note the following: - Don't get too much obsessed with looks and material stuff. Focus more on the content you are delivering, and its depth. Yes, looks and the way you deliver are important but there seems to be an imbalance. People love genuine people more. Buying the best studio set would not help much if they don't sense genuineness. They are just tools and not an end in themselves. - Check your pronunciation of the word "exercise" Thanks for sharing.
Did he mention that book? I don’t quite know about him but I’ve watched a few of his videos in the past. Doesn’t surprise me that a high achiever like him read this book!
Well the penthouse would be the top floor would never be the ground floor. And the part about being held down by strings or being held down by concrete made absolutely no sense. I would say go back to the drawing board on this video.
English being my third language I tend to make mistakes but I’ll get better. As for the relaxation methods they are simply taken from the book and I believe that it works. The point is just to try and relax as much as humanly possible no matter the method. Thanks for your comment!
Visualisation is a powerful skill to have to manifest your goals into reality, with the right amount of work of course. When it comes to manifesting a healthier body part, there are many studies suggesting that having a positive view on healing a body part could in fact make things better faster. Even bodybuilders use body-mind visualization to grow their muscles. I wish you good luck on your health!
❤ YOU ARE AMAZING! Straightforward! The noisy inFLUencer RU-vidrs, Manifestation / LoA / Neville coaches with 1-2M subs are BOOOORING! Who needs #JakeDucey #ClarkKegley or the Alai guy, #JosephAlai (is he still broke and smoking? 🤭)
