Wasn't this a meme?

>>41540401
It is as real as it gets

>>41540350
reflexes is easy: drop item, catch it when it reaches waist height or throw tennis ball while lying on back and catch with fingertips only. mental strength can be done with a pushup hold, as in 20 pushups minute hold at top no lockout repeat until 20-30 minutes have passed

>How to improve mental strength

Step 1: Read Dune
Step 2: Apply Fremen attitude to every aspect of your life.

There is no step 3.

a real meme. Its just some spiritual bullshit.
Some meditation can help in certain situations, but that doesnt mean you cant get the same benefits from something else that takes your mind off everything else.

>>41540830
Give me a quick rundown on this?

I mean, "how can you improve yourself?" is a question with a truly enormous amount of answers. You could probably talk for hours about increasing your learning ability alone.

I think wanting to improve yourself overall beyond just getting fit is a great goal, but I think you should focus up and find out in what way you want to improve yourself specifically, to start with.

Cold showers, nootropics, clean diet, exercise, HIIT, workouts specifically tailored to test your mettle, intermittent fasting and/or 1-2 day fasts, meditation.

Try reading "The Warrior Diet" by (((Ori Hofmekler))), even if it's a little memey there's some interesting ideas in it about working out to toughen yourself up rather than pure strength or bodybuilding. Also good info behind IF.

Let's have a practical example. You're on the street and a kebab starts shooting random people. You're fit, of course, but you need other mental and physical improvements in order to be able to react properly.

I'm currently reading a "Study on the reaction of a policeman to the danger and the armed confrontations" (pic related), but I don't know if this is going to help me somehow.

>>41540963
Okay, well that specific interaction would make heavy use of your resourcefulness, ability to act and think clearly under pressure, and your reflexes. Again though, those sorts of things could all be talked about on their own at length.

Im kinda thinking that if you want the "full suite" for self improvement, you should pick up some technical hobbies and maybe a sport. The less time you waste on things like vidya and the more time you spend being productive, the more you'll improve those kinds of skills.

>>41540960
Totally, Dune is Bible for smart people

>>41540960
Yeah, at least read God Emperor. Heretics and Chapterhouse kinda go off the rails but aren't awful either. Stay away from the prequels

>>41541231
Did you read the newest ones? about navigators and mentats? I trully enjoyed those!

>>41540401
Anon it's the foundation of every ascetic practice.

>>41540350
Prosthetics.

>>41540350
I know you said with out drugs but try noopept it's amazing. I took a tiny amount every day for a couple of months to help me focus on studying and learning new languages.
It also had the added side effect of negating my social anxiety as well!
highly recommend the stuff.

>>41541770
Recently bought some. Am I meant to take it daily or just as needed? Will it help for exams in 3 weeks?

Definitely read God Emperor. I'm currently reading Heretics, but man, it's kinda hard to keep on. But I'll finish what I started...

>>41541770
OP here. To be honest I've never been into drugs, not even medicaments. I always wanted to avoid this kind of things.

>>41541200
S-should I read it? Everybody says it's great.

>>41541737
Experimental augs are for easy mode.

>>41540846
what nootropics to look into?

already take addy for studying

Is there a new deus ex game out? How is it?

>>41546545
Mate, DE: Mankind Divided is out since 2016.

>>41546372
simplest stack is 2:1 of L-theanine to caffiene. Start at 200mg of L-theanine and 100mg of caffiene once a day, then twice, then increase dose. This might not actually do anything for you since you take addy, might want to reset the addy tolerance.

I don't play video games much anymore. How does it hold up compared to Human Revolution?

>>41547007
Better - don't have to eat food to use your tech which always struck me as the worst gameplay decision ever, amazed it got past playtesting.

>>41547048
Thanks I will probably check it out sometime

>>41540350
Does Wim Hof's breathing method really make you resistant to cold? (He's the guy who ran a marathon in snow with nothing but trunks on.) It wouldn't be a useful skill, but it would be cool nevertheless.

read this obviously you need it lol
