>The Millionaire Next Door

>3.5% are millionaires
>age*annual income/10
>for every 100 millionaires. there are 192 people who ... (just use fucking fractions god dammit)
it gets annoying really fast. it feels like he tried to stretch the contents to fill twice the number of pages. it does have some good advice if you cant manage your money.

>7 Habits of Highly Effective People
shitiest book ive ever read, i dont get how this got so many awards. Its written by a hypocritical douche who is either ignorant of basic biology and anthropology, or lies just to make his point. plus he doesn't seem to know what a lot of the words mean that he uses (like proactive and reactive). But that fucking hypocrisy gets me

I love the idea of these threads. Moot should make an entire board dedicated to self-improvement. Imagine how many lives that would change (given the 4chan demographic, no offense)

Also thanks for the book recommendations OP. I've never heard of The Flinch and I'm reading it now. I've read a handful of the thoughts, though.
Also, would you highly recommend stretching/yoga? What exactly are the benefits? I just don't see it to be worthwhile to be honest, but I'm hoping I'm wrong and its something I've been missing out on and can jump into.

My self improvement:
8 hours sleep every night
Multivitamin, fishoil, vitamin D, ZMA, 2 protein shakes per day
100oz+ of water every day
Gym 5 days a week (Doing Layne Norton's PHAT)
Read atleast 50 pages of whatever book is on the top of my priority list every night
Meditate until I fall asleep (Does this still give the benefits of meditation? It definitely helps me sleep)

I've done a few Coursera courses on android programming and algorithmic design since its summer and I don't have uni until august. But I feel like I should be relaxing more as I don't want to burn myself out before the semester even begins

Welcome to the gate of greatness.

You're destined for greatness. In a world full of sloth and degenerency, you will rise among the herd of men. If you want to stack paper money, learn how to seduce women and make their pussies wet and find out the meaning of life and death, be the strongest nigger in the gym, this is the guide that will help you. More importantly, it's about achieving everything you want in life - where you're now and where you want to be.

When you cum inside a 11/10 average kgirl and get her pregnant, you're going to smile and mutter to yourself: "you've made it, brah"

A closer look at time.

What old people always say: "Enjoy your youth while you can because life goes by fast."

Life is nothing more than a ticking sand clock. Life slips away from your grasp, also imperceptible. A year passes by, then a decade. Staring back at the mirrior, is a middle aged man, sagging jaw line, with huge bags until his eyes. The man is you. Death is merely lurking around the corner. Time flies like a nigger jumping across the basketball court.

That's why there is this urgency to realize your death now before it withers away and becomes a forgotten memory. Most people on their death beds regret what they didn't do in life - like banging that one legged red head that works at Starbucks.

I'm new to /fit/, so I didn't thought I ahould make a new thread for this: Can someone give me a simple routine for begginners? I've read the sticky but is not very specific. I already go run for cardio.

The story of two men


I met one guywho haven't stepped inside a gym in 18 months (he also pays for it, at $50 a month). He has the dumb bells and blowflex in his basement, collecting dust. When asked why he doesn't just exercise, he just shrugs. He's in his early 30s, developing a beer gut.

I also befriended one guy at the gym. Also in his early 30s, he told me how he started lifting: first, he went ot the gym for the first 2 weeks at 5:00 AM. He sat on the stationary bike and drank his morning coffee while reading the news paper. He didn't even bother pedaling.

After a week, he started to slowly. He did it for 2 weeks. Then gradually he started lifting weights. Now he's one fit mother fucker, and fucks the gym receptionist (in the ass, no less)

Morale of the story: it's all about the habits. We know that habits is what determines a man's destiny. It's just so fucking hard to start a habit and stick to it. No worries - we'll learn the art of sticking to good habits, so we'll be one smart, strong, /fit/ nigger.

>>27393251
I tried this a few months back. I'm positive the shits that run the pool are trying to poison people. My vision was blurry for two fucking days with the amount of chlorine in that water.

So I was blind, and getting lapped by old ladies that have been swimming every day for decades. I stuck to running.

A man's collective thoughts affect is action, his actions become his habits, his habits become his character, his character is his destiny.

Attitude is everything. As billionaire Felix Dennis would say: "you have to believe that you can do it from the depth of your soul."

See life through the looking glass of optimism. Don't let small things bring you down. Let the haters hate. Be grateful that you're not a little starving nigglet in Africa, crawling through the savannah in search for water, while a vulture that resembles a Jew awaits you. If you're living in the first world country, you're going to make it, brah.

I like habits because habits are easy to do - like smoking or jerking off. What if we had the habit of picking up barely 18 years old at the movie threatre and licking that delicious pussy? What if we had the habit of being a serial entrepreneur, so we can have a tower of cash like a rich nigger? How about going to gym and lifting, so we can become a strong BBC.

On meditation - meditate like a fucking boss

At the highest level, meditation is about finding the meaning of life and death. On the practical side, it's about being calm and getting hold of your emotions. You remain calm in a fight, as you clinically muay thai kick into your opponent's ribs, shattering it into 16 pieces. You remain calm, staring down the hottest girl in the club without flinching, therefore making her pussy wet, her juice dropping out of her panties and rolling into the dance floor.


Sit on the floor, in a half lotus position. Breathe in and out. Listen to Tibetan throating chanting, as they humm and oom and feel your whole being viberate, feels like your whole body is acesending into fucking heaven.

Your mind will fight against the idea of sitting around and staring at the wall and will backwards rationalize that you could be doing something better. Ignore it. As you sit, you notice random fucking thoughts arising from your mind. Observe those thoughts and let them pass through. Notice your breathing, air going in and out.

Resource: if you got an android phone, use insight timer. It keeps track of how many minutes you meditate, also has some free guided meditation audio. Highly recommended.

On seduction - get that pussy wet!

On time, I was ordering sushi from this Korean restaurant. They didn't do delivery that day, so I went there to pick it up. The cashier greeted me - a nubile 21 years old Korean girl, with a tight body and nice rack, with a cute face. In other words, she was an average kgirl.

I paid for $46 plate of sushi by whipping out my wad of $100s in a rubber band. We're talking about a thick wad of cash, like a nigger's dick. Her eyes bludged open and her pussy instantly gushes out, dripping down her legs. She leaned back and slipped on the floor. I leaned over the counter and helped up. A week later, I banged her pussy until she cries.

Here are the "The Sixteen Commandments Of Poon" copied directly from the heartiste blog. Follow it and get your dick wet.

I. Never say ‘I Love You’ first

Women want to feel like they have to overcome obstacles to win a man’s heart. They crave the challenge of capturing the interest of a man who has other women competing for his attention, and eventually prevailing over his grudging reluctance to award his committed exclusivity. The man who gives his emotional world away too easily robs women of the satisfaction of earning his love. Though you may be in love with her, don’t say it before she has said it. Show compassionate restraint for her need to struggle toward yin fulfillment. Inspire her to take the leap for you, and she’ll return the favor a thousandfold.

II. Make her jealous

Flirt with other women in front of her. Do not dissuade other women from flirting with you. Women will never admit this but jealousy excites them. The thought of you turning on another woman will arouse her sexually. No girl wants a man that no other woman wants. The partner who harnesses the gale storm of jealousy controls the direction of the relationship.

>>27401775
III. You shall make your mission, not your woman, your priority

Forget all those romantic cliches of the leading man proclaiming his undying love for the woman who completes him. Despite whatever protestations to the contrary, women do not want to be “The One” or the center of a man’s existence. They in fact want to subordinate themselves to a worthy man’s life purpose, to help him achieve that purpose with their feminine support, and to follow the path he lays out. You must respect a woman’s integrity and not lie to her that she is “your everything”. She is not your everything, and if she is, she will soon not be anymore.

IV. Don’t play by her rules

If you allow a woman to make the rules she will resent you with a seething contempt even a rapist cannot inspire. The strongest woman and the most strident feminist wants to be led by, and to submit to, a more powerful man. Polarity is the core of a healthy loving relationship. She does not want the prerogative to walk all over you with her capricious demands and mercurial moods. Her emotions are a hurricane, her soul a saboteur. Think of yourself as a bulwark against her tempest. When she grasps for a pillar to steady herself against the whipping winds or yearns for an authority figure to foil her worst instincts, it is you who has to be there… strong, solid, unshakeable and immovable.

80KB, 510x777px

>>27401793
V. Adhere to the golden ratio

Give your woman 2/3 of everything she gives you. For every three calls or texts, give her two back. Three declarations of love earn two in return. Three gifts; two nights out. Give her two displays of affection and stop until she has answered with three more. When she speaks, you reply with fewer words. When she emotes, you emote less. The idea behind the golden ratio is twofold — it establishes your greater value by making her chase you, and it demonstrates that you have the self-restraint to avoid getting swept up in her personal dramas. Refraining from reciprocating everything she does for you in equal measure instills in her the proper attitude of belief in your higher status. In her deepest loins it is what she truly wants.

VI. Keep her guessing

True to their inscrutable natures, women ask questions they don’t really want direct answers to. Woe be the man who plays it straight — his fate is the suffering of the beta. Evade, tease, obfuscate. She thrives when she has to imagine what you’re thinking about her, and withers when she knows exactly how you feel. A woman may want financial and family security, but she does not want passion security. In the same manner, when she has displeased you, punish swiftly, but when she has done you right, reward slowly. Reward her good behavior intermittently and unpredictably and she will never tire of working hard to please you.

887KB, 1014x1352px

>>27401809
VII. Always keep two in the kitty

Never allow yourself to be a “kept man”. A man with options is a man without need. It builds confidence and encourages boldness with women if there is another woman, a safety net, to catch you in case you slip and risk a breakup, divorce, or a lost prospect, leading to loneliness and a grinding dry spell. A woman knows once she has slept with a man she has abdicated a measure of her power; when she has fallen in love with him she has surrendered nearly all of it. But love is ephemeral and with time she may rediscover her power and threaten to leave you. It is her final trump card. Withdrawing all her love and all her body in an instant will rend your soul if you are faced with contemplating the empty abyss alone. Knowing there is another you can turn to for affection will fortify your will and satisfy your manhood.

VIII. Say you’re sorry only when absolutely necessary

Do not say you’re sorry for every wrong thing you do. It is a posture of submission that no man should reflexively adopt, no matter how alpha he is. Apologizing increases the demand for more apologies. She will come to expect your contrition, like a cat expects its meal at a set time each day. And then your value will lower in her eyes. Instead, if you have done something wrong, you should acknowledge your guilt in a glancing way without resorting to the actual words “I’m sorry.” Pull the Bill Clinton maneuver and say “Mistakes were made” or tell her you “feel bad” about what you did. You are granted two freebie “I’m sorry”s for the life of your relationship; use them wisely.

Is there a flexibility programme that just tells me to what to do and when to help?

How to become a smart, Harvard university educated nigger.

It's a saddening fact that the majority of people don't read. According to some studies, the average person reads 1 book a year.

When people do read, it's a shitty fiction book. The best selling book of 2013 was "Fifty Shades of Grey" about some college girl getting her pussy wet and drilled by a middle aged billionaire. The book collectively got pussies wet alright - mostly fat American middle age house wives (interestly enough, the book was a fan fiction of Twlight that got published online)

An old adage: "A man who doesn't read lives once, a man who reads lives a thousand lives." That's why you got to read, and read alot, like a nigger studying for his Harvard exam.

I highly recommend an e-reader like the Amazon Kindle or Kobo. You download all the books you want for free, thousands of books at your finger time. Interestingly enough, studies found that people who own an e-reader read more, simply because it's convenient.

Reading is a mind fuck. To learn about Genghis Khan as he raped and pillaged countries with his bros (he got teenage pussies every night) and almost became the king of the old world. Or about Julius Caesar (my nigga) who bang bitches, goes to war and stacks money because he's the fucking emperor.

How about learning the great wars and ancient civilizations? How about learning about the future (muh singularity!), nano-technology, 3D organ printing and artifical intelligence?

I went into the book store in 2011 and smacked $150 into the cashier counter - I'm getting myself a fucking e-reader, as spur of the moment thing. The cashier, who has her blouse unbuttoned with her bra exposed (now that I think of it, she wants the strong Asian dick) giggled as I bought the electronic.

Before then, I read books here and there. After buying the e-reader, I read 30-40 books a year (without spending a dime on buying books because I'm a fucking Jew, hehehe *clasp hands together*)

Hey, there ain't nothin wrong with liking the feel of a real book; many people I know prefer it over that of an e-reader.

That being said, I use both for maximum efficiency.

ebooks... lol i thought you guys were alpha not 12 year old girls

>>27402516

>>27402516
Am I strange for not liking e-readers? Personally, I love the feel and smell of books. Whenever I walk in a bookstore, I get an euphoric sense of giddiness and anticipation, I feel lightheaded and excited.

On the other hand, I want to live a minimalistic lifestyle, and it seems as though an e-reader would help with that.

>>27402675
nah, I don't like them either. Real books are awesome, and some of them have cool artwork on them, too.

>>27402675
>Am I strange for not liking e-readers? Personally, I love the feel and smell of books. Whenever I walk in a bookstore, I get an euphoric sense of giddiness and anticipation, I feel lightheaded and excited.

It's okay if you don't like e-readers, everyone has their preference. Maybe in the future there won't even be e-readers, we'll all be reading books on our google glasses.

As for the "high" from the smell of books, it's actually glue and other decaying material like pulp that you're smelling, thus making you high.

>On the other hand, I want to live a minimalistic lifestyle, and it seems as though an e-reader would help with that.

When you have a child whose household looks like a library, chances are he/she will be more prone to read a book. Rather than falling into our modern children's form of entertainment- Watching some cartoon about "uncle grandpa" farting in a shoe and pooping on someone's nose

Consider a scenario in which some child's parents had an entire housefull of books, but never once tried to get their son/daughter to read a single one of them.

How to find "free" time to get things done

We live in an age of distractions. Facebook, video games, emails, endless shit tier TV shows, some phone game about a fucking red bird flying. As we engage our minds in this mindless persue, time ticks away and the death reaper lurks in the corner.

Introducing - the minimalist life style.

"Minimalism" is a new buzz word, invented by SWPL. It's about living with less stuff, so you can focus on more important things in life. Live life like an ascetic, minus the religious part.

Personally, I own 3 outfits, a laptop, my e-reader and paper documents. Depending on your life style, you may need more stuff - that's understandable. It's not a dick waving contest on who has the less stuff - instead, it's about decluttering what's un-necessary, so you have time to persue your dreams, instead of letting it wither and die.

Consolidate all your books into an e-reader (you can torrent unlimited books into your e-reader), pick 3-5 stylist outfits and donate the rest of your clothes away. Sell your desktop and buy a 13 inch laptop.

Strive to simplifed your diet, your weight lifting routine, your finance.

Current consumer society says "consume, consume!" as our Jewish master greedily rub their hands, giggling "good goy!". It's time to take a stand and say shout "NO". Spend less, so you have more money saved up for more important things: traveling across the world, retiring early, persuing your dream and passion.

Edit your friends - ditch people who are negative to your life, like mother fuckers who borrow money and wouldn't give it back, or people who put you down. Spend time quality time with quality friends who will enrich your life. After all, time is ticking.

Here are some minimalism feels:

>tfw traveling for 2 weeks and you only bring 2 outfits
>tfw donating all your books to the local charity and buying an e-reader, with thousands of books stored inside
>tfw everything you own fits in the trunk of your car
>tfw you'll never have to worry about losing stupid shit again
>tfw you spend all your time reading, hanging out with friends, starting an e-business, lifting, meeting new people and traveling all over the world
>tfw you only been using your laptop for 7 years without touching your desktop
>tfw minimalism teaches you not to care what other people think

I read a bit of that Dale Carnegie book and I really didn't get why people liked it. All of his advice (talk to people about themselves, help them feel important, smile, etc) was stuff I'd heard before/figured out on my own. Maybe that just shows how influential the book is, but I didn't think it was worth buying. Also, 99% of the book is just a bunch of anecdotes which I found pretty useless

I pull some pretty wicked poontang now and have more friends because I've cut down on being so introverted.

>>27422278
Dude, make a special resume for every job you apply to. Look thru the job listing, and look for "keywords" they list in the posting such as required skills and shit. 80% of resumes are rejected by machines looking for matches on key words. Don't submit one to a place without customizing it to them. Put a goal statement at the top stating you want a position doing x and x for the company.

WAY better chance of getting your shit looked at.

I'm with you on the ultimate futility of it all, brah, but at the same time, how many fuckers out there continually indulge in the little things that make them temporarily happy (or sometimes merely numb) but are still depressed as fuck?

By all means, if you're totally happy and content with not achieving anything in your life outside of a massive stack of steam achievements and TF2 hats, good on ya. But for the majority of people, living directionless and without some form of purposeful work isn't really living

>>27422761
>indulge in the little things that make them temporarily happy (or sometimes merely numb) but are still depressed as fuck?
sure but thats where you need to recognize the marginal utility of things and understand at some point X is detracting from your overall happiness

sure having goals is great and that can be the pursuit of happiness in itself, but i cant help but wonder why all these people grind themselves to the bone all for what? in the end what does it all really mean... just find ways to be happy to be alive

so tired going to bed goodnight

>>27422758
Stay mad, loser.
You can moan about utter futility, or you can go make something of yourself.

Your life is as valuable as you make it. Will you be a sad creature pursuing temporary delights, or will others remember you as a great man?

>tfw just want to stop fixating on what people think of you so you have more confidence and do more shit

how do i do this

>>27422801
The means are the end. Life is an adventure, not a game.

meditate 20 mins every day right after i wake up
learn new supple leopard "lesson" every day
codeacademy erry day (just started but goddamn gamification and interactive learning for the mother fucking win)
workout or basketball errryday
foam roll almost erry day and mobility stretches
and yes i read an ALOT everyday. a stupid amount. almost a compulsion.
also i work irl so that about takes up my entire day erry day. and i mediate and try to improve myself daily through small small iteration. its very fulfilling and makes me feel great about myself tbqh.

>>27422346
Its actually in the /fit/ sticky.

>>27422833
>meditate
For what purpose?

>>27413313
thanks based anon.
I've been doing that program for 2 weeks now, and I haven't experienced or measured any sizable growth, but I suppose I must continue for a few months or possibly years to see any real results.

>>27422801
Because for some people, happiness is merely the absence of unhappiness. Because they put their nose to the grindstone, they don't have the time or energy to devote to thinking negatively.

As for the marginal utility concept, that can be harder to determine in and of itself simply because at a certain level, the minor boost in temporary happiness is enough to be considered happiness, despite the fact that it can unknowingly contribute to feelings of overall unhappiness. There's a bit more universality and simplicity in saying "one should work to achieve their goals to be happy" rather than saying "the things that make you happy can also make you unhappy and you must line up the opportunity costs to find that out"

>>27422816
Go out and do shit. Seriously. You're not confident because you fear failure and create an ideal that people's opinions equate to failure. Go out, get shot down. Learn failure is not what you think it is, and is not the be all end all situation in life. Soon you'll be doing all kinds of shit and don't care who has anything to say about it

>>27402152
I'm curious too. Not just for OP but for everyone.
Do you guys just retain info or is there a constant back-and-forth reaffirmation thing?

great fucking post. the line about

After a week, he started to slowly. He did it for 2 weeks. Then gradually he started lifting weights. Now he's one fit mother fucker, and fucks the gym receptionist (in the ass, no less)

is a motherfucking masterpiece of motivation. would bro out with

>>27402152
>>27422889
Not OP, but generally, it is a good idea to revisit some of these books simply because you can often learn something different or better understand an already learned concept after gaining some experience in it. Your mind picks up on different things at different times which can contribute to new ideals and thoughts about the same subject matter from the same source

>>27422346

Great job brother, stick with it!

>>27393080
8 hours can be too much. If you are healthy adult you should get at least 7 hours. Don't lay in bed pissed off you are awake at 5 am after sleeping 7 hours. Don't continue laying in bed and end up sleeping another 2. Just wake up and start your day. You'll be fine. Only teenagers need at least 8 hours of sleep a night.

>>27401758

you are my favorite poster. its not close. would def be an eager follower of your cult. lmk.

eta: daily yoga app is pretty gr8., they have a 15 and 20 min session into guided meditation that includes light stretching plus music and mantras that has gotten me to stick with it. haven't tried the other yoga centric sessions they have but i like it

>>27392988
when meditating how do I know I'm doing it right and not just counting my breath while seated

>>27422857
mental self improvement. staying in the moment. it has quelled my anxiety about the future and rumination on the past by 1000x. im extremely skeptical by nature. but goddamn the improvement is tremendous. and this, of course, is over time.

>>27423004
treat it like a lift. the perfect form is a progress. its about the journey not the result. bringing your thoughts back to your breath is the exercise. there is no perfect form. you just get better at it.

>>27423031
I was just curious whether there was anything I was missing, it's going very well even with <20 mins of experience so far

Sounds like you have tons of social interaction with all that "self improvement"

>>27423068

i do. when i'm at work and when i workout and play basketball i interact with people nonstop. plus when i fuck qts and go out on the weekends occasionally i socialize as well. still an introvert at heart tho :)

>others
must suck living your life for others

also when you educate yourself a little more you will quickly realize humans will be gone in a cosmic blink of an eye... were not even close to the longest last creature this baby planet earth has seen

keep the delusion up tho if it keeps you going

just sit and breathe,

I cleaned the house, I cooked dinner for a bunch of people that were visiting (and myself), and just started duolingo.

This is some of the most crigeworthy shit I've read in a very long time. Sure these 'rules' have a few kernels of truth in them, but they are over thought and read lie they've been written by some 30 year old virgin

>>27423270
Just want to say thanks to the OP and most of the people in this thread.

>>27402120
I find very little value in this list.

A few of the books I've read this year:

1. A Short Account of the History of Mathematics
2. On the Origin of the Species
3. Newton's Principia
4. The Nature of the Chemical Bond
5. The Shape of Design

I dont wanna to these for self improvement.
I want to do it because I like it
How?

>hurr bitches ain't shit

That is some PUA shit right there. And not the good stuff either. Aim to find a girl you wanna spend your life with. If she is worthy of that, she is worthy of equal treatment, like how you treat a bro. (Just remember never to put the pussy on a pedestal).

If you have to look over your girl like a child, obviously you have a shit tier gf.

Also when you haven't slept good/enough? This is a major issue with me

I bought a electric pressure/slow cooker and for the past 3 months I had nothing but home cooked food(its like kindle for books, you use it just because its there), feels fucking great, to be honest never felt better in my life

Anybody got braces at a "late" age? I'm 25 and my dentist said that my teeth are still moving and will get more crooked at the front.

I'm tempted by Invisalign since money is no object.

Thoughts?

>>27428351
if money is not a problem then get implants and have perfect teeth for the rest of your life

>>27428351
Invisalign I have heard takes longer and is only 80% as effective as regular braces (also may not be available in all cases). There are people up through their 60s who have gotten braces.

what is a good e-reader to buy to torrent with? or just a good cheap one in general.

>>27429288
Go for a cheap one dude.

Sincere question: when did Self-improvement became "isolate yourself from the rest of society because you don't like it".

That's not healthy. I'm all for inspiration and thoughtfulness but we NEED others to be sane. Isolation is the worse thing that can happen to anyone. Just take a look at /r9k/.

You don't need girls who have all your interests, people don't need to share your ideology and world views to still be friendly. It's just a mentality of running from reality because you can't seem to handle it.

The sony reader is shit, I fucking hate it.

Read up on it, I think I remember reading that the kobo or the kindle were the best.

Whatever you get, get a used one. You can find them on craigslist or kijiji for close to nothing.

>>27431260

Its more of not wanting to face reality and the world until you're ready to present the best version of yourself possible.

Well. today i browsed 4chan since i woke up. Thats like 10 hours
