Big up Big Brandon Carter for the recommendation. Notes:– Most common desire was to eat and sleep. Then sex. – Carnegie’s Win Friends and Influence People book spent 8 pages on explaining to people how to have that winning smile. Passive bashing of similar books. – Marshmallow experiment. Successful ones managed to distract themselves for 15 minutes to get another marshmallow. The ones that failed seemed to get in more trouble. The ones with more willpower had higher salaries, more…

The audiobook is like his videos where he is exactly as verbose but you can’t see him. In summary, he says lots of things mostly making fun of or going against the system, the sheeple, the biegeists, the squares… while using lots of big words. Hope I remember the new ones. I like how the cover of the book shows LOVE reversed in the title. Short version: A collection of thoughts and ideas to do things differently from quotes to…

First of all the book is 2000+ pages divided into 4 parts and 196 papers.Warning: If you think the table of contents and papers are hard to figure out… you’re in for a whole load of mind humperry. They weren’t joking when they called them papers. Feels like I was in a mock exam. I will not even try to explain anything apart from the fact that Earth’s real name is meant to be Urantia.
