  Hello 👋 goiod concise video ! Thank you 🙏 I I am currently reading the book attached and halfway through and find it revelatory I also have the crucial conversation book which I have not read or absorb thoroughly but skim through so will take another look out and I was thinking to get the codependent book by Ross… So thank you for your recommendation I will pick that one up also I’m quite excited I feel like I’ve had a clearing of vision that will be very beneficial with my recent reading and understanding I’m like you I’m also on the secure with a little bit of anxious but predominantly on the secure one according to several tests I have done including in the attachment book .

  Just stumbled across your channel, subbed. It's rare to find a book channel devoted to non-fiction in these areas (which happen to be my areas of interest, too). You made some great selections. My favorites from your list include Games People Play (first psychology book I ever read, 40 years ago; got me hooked), Radical Honesty (although it can be dangerous to put into practice), Man's Search for Meaning, the Myth of Sisyphus (first philosophy book I read, blew me away 40 years ago though I don't believe it now), and Flow. I spent my career as a psychologist; I'm retired now. I'll be picking up several of your recommendations that I haven't read - thank you for the ideas. Here are some of my own suggestions to check out, see if they grab you: Neurosis and Human Growth, by Karen Horney (brilliant portrait of how garden-variety neurosis functions; it changed my life); To Thine Own Self Be True, by Lewis Andrews; Neurotic Styles, by David Shapiro (a small book with a lot of insight into some of the main dysfunctional personality patterns); Paradox of Choice, by Jeffrey Schwartz; The Myths of Happiness, by Sonia Lyubomirsky (helpful myth-busting around what makes people happy or miserable); The Six Pillars of Self-Esteem, by Nathaniel Branden, and Groupthink by Christopher Booker. Cheers.

  "Enlightening and frightening" is a great way to capture this book. You skipped over a lot of the consequences of peer orientation and the ways that peer orientation is self-reinforcing - for me that was the part that is motivating to make changes and improve your relationship with your child. Some books are a lot of fluff, but I think it's important to read this book to really understand the dynamics between attachment parenting and peer orientation so that you know why you must act.

  This is a terrible book, describing a dystopian future in which individuals become sovereign like countries are. They become exempt from taxation because they are no longer citizens of a particular country. Good for them, I guess? Except that all others remain tax-payers in the collapsing nation states. In other words: there will be an elite upper-class that ignore any rules or obligations, while the rest of the population can starve for all they care. It creates a caste system with untouchable overlords and servants. It generally boils down to: the rich get richer and the poor get poorer. Truly dystopian! Yet the book seems to promote the idea as an opportunity - not a warning. The book starts with the Y2K-bug. As it is written before the year 2000, the writers feared the disruption such a bug could bring. To me, this clearly illustrates how the writers are fascinated by technology without understanding the mere basics of it. Here's the deal. Back in the day, the assumption was that computers stored dates without explicitly mentioning the century. And these systems would crash when going from 31-12-99 to 01-01-00. But here's the thing: computers would need at least 6 bytes to store a date like that. In reality, computer systems simply count the days since January 1st, 1970 in a "double" (a numeric storage unit using only use 2 bytes, meaning: it can count up to 65536 which might become a problem in the year 2149). Programmers rather accepted the pay check for pretending to fix the non-existing problem, than to explain to their incompetent bosses/clients that there never was a Y2K-problem to fix. This techno-horniness without true technical understanding continues throughout the book. It uses a ridiculous amount of words to disguise their cluelessness. We are introduced to the idea of becoming clients of a country, and only paying tax for what we as clients think their services are worth. And since the richest people are, according to the authors, the highest contributors to taxation, they have the right to set the rules. Dumb dumb dumb. When they choose to pay less, they no longer contribute the most, and immediately lose that privilege. The sad truth is that tax evasion already is a widespread problem that gives multinationals an unfair disadvantage over their smaller competitors. This impedes progress as capitalism relies on a level playing field. If smaller competitors can't compete with the non-tax-paying market-leaders, innovation simply stops. If we all pay our fair share, we all pay a bit less. That's why I believe the UN should set taxation laws, explicitly aiming at closing the loopholes and taxation differences between countries. We all dislike paying tax, but if there's one thing worse, it is knowing that some get away with paying nothing. The book also predicts that every nation state with multiple official languages will fall first. It sees English as the de-facto language of the internet, which happens to be the native tongue of the authors. To me, this implies that the writers don’t have equality on their mind. It poses a severe disadvantage for everyone who doesn’t speak English, and disproportionately benefits native speakers. It ignores the simple fact that English became the most dominant language because of colonialism and power abuse. Don't get me wrong: I love the English language. But I hate the inequality it creates, and the colonialism that made it so dominant. The book has the false assumption that those who pay the least, get the most, and those who pay the most, get the least. It only sees government spending as social security and benefits for the poor. This is incorrect. Higher incomes tend to use the infrastructure much more often. Rich people buy more, they drive more, etc. Especially flying seems to be directly correlated to wealth. And especially flying is exempt from many taxation laws. The authors also claim that the witch trials might not have been completely unjustified, clearly illustrating how patriarchal and ill informed they are about the past, present and future. Out of desperation those women might have “cursed” gullible people, who paid to lift the curse and end the bad luck they encountered. So while they might have been innocent of witchcraft, they likely were guilty of extortion. Well, if extortion is a high enough crime to be burned alive, I’ve got bad news for those who wish to become sovereign individuals, because they in fact try to extort the nation they don’t want to pay tax to.

  If you are someone who thinks that authors who parade their “spiritual wisdom” should actually have something to say, rather than stringing together a bunch of hackneyed cliches taken fourth hand from other writers, then avoid this vapid piece of s**t. The difference between the cheap “wisdom” of this book and the genuine wisdom of say the Sufi poet Rumi, from whom Coelho stole his premise is the difference between the authentic David of Michelangelo and the little plastic imitation you buy in the gift shop beside the exit.

  @@BookLabBjorn I just heard about this book today, but I came to many of the same conclusions after struggling to get back on track after the disastrous Covid lockdowns in NY that created so many bad habits in many of us, myself included. The first thing I recognized was that the phone/Ipad were one big distraction. I wrote down a list of NO’s including no news, no porn, no SM, no sugar etc. The next thing was I stopped accepting every invitation from my friends because re-building a business of 30 years that was lost during the immoral NY Covid lockdowns, was going to require discipled effort. The main sacrifice I made was getting up at 5am so that after feeding/walking the dog, fending off the cat, having coffee and then planning my specific daily tasks, I could begin the creative work by 7am when my mind is most fertile. 7am my phone goes on focus and only my daughter can get through. It really does come down to eliminating as many distractions as we can, that’s easier said than done, because the stress and anxiety of being creative will seek out those comforting distractions. Additionally, good nutrition, vitamins, exercise, quality sleep, stress mitigation strategies, sunlight are all necessary components. The most important part is developing a plan that focuses upon a single metric or two, that can be measured. If it can be measured, it can be managed. Example: in my business I focus upon the number of new clients I bring in because clients represent revenue and revenue can be measured. Seems like a well written book. You gave an interesting and lively summary. Best of luck. Helping others succeed in life is doing the Lords work.
