Dealing with Difficult Neighbors – TSMP #81
Matt and Jay discuss difficult neighbors, how to be a good neighbor, setting good boundaries and what to do when the guy next door turns out to be nuts.

* Follow these links to get your copies of "Sexual Magnetism," "The WASM Dating Handbook" and "Secrets of Sensual Massage" on Amazon.com. Intro: Living Near Other People
* Hard to do. Many complications.
* Everyone has bad neighbor stories Why is it hard to live near other people?
* People do better with space (but there’s not much nowadays)
* Not everyone knows how to respect others
* MANY people are bad at conflict…and conflict is a requirement when neighbors have differences of opinion Are People More Angry These Days?
* Maybe How to Deal with Difficult Neighbors/co-workers/family members/etc
1. Be a Good Neighbor Yourself
* Be polite
* Be respectful
* Be positive
* Look for ways to help out
* Occasionally offer gifts (small, thoughtful, inexpensive)
* Harbor no ill will
* Remember important dates/facts/names that your neighbor cares about
* Always be impeccable with your word…aka Don’t lie (show up when you say you will, do the things you commit to, don’t commit if you’re not going to do it, etc.) 2. Set Boundaries When Necessary
* Politely but firmly confront them on issues that must be resolved
* Explain your side but listen to their side as well
* Spend the time to work to a common goal
* Compromise if you can’t agree on a solution (both sides sacrifice something) 3. Determine If You Truly Have Bad Neighbors
* If they’re REALLY difficult:
* Go to landlord/HOA
* Go to other authorities
* Go to a lawyer / court
* Consider moving?
* If they’re DANGEROUS…
* Go to police
* Probably moving
* If you find you have multiple bad neighbors
* Definitely time to move However…The truth is, you probably don’t want to be friends with your neighbors
* Why don’t you want to be friends with your neighbors
* Space is good
* Like dating a co-worker, if it breaks up then you live next to someone you hate. Not fun. Summary
* Be a Good Neighbor Yourself
* Set Boundaries When Necessary
* Determine If You Truly Have Bad Neighbors
* You probably Don’t Want To Be Friends With Your Neighbors Conclusion
Your peace of mind is highly dependent on your relationship with your neighbors. Do the necessary work to make sure you can relax, feel safe and enjoy your neighborhood.

“What If?” – Bookcast #48
What If? Serious Scientific Answers to Absurd Hypothetical Questions (2014) by Randall Munroe
Read and listen to "Mastery" on Amazon!
We’re very excited to announce our books “Sexual Magnetism,” “The WASM Dating Handbook” and “Secrets of Sensual Massage” are now available!
* Follow these links to get your copies of "Sexual Magnetism," "The WASM Dating Handbook" and "Secrets of Sensual Massage" on Amazon.com.
Want more great books? Check out our MUST READ LIST! Overview of “What If?”
* A very brief description of “What If?”
* Randall Munroe’s webcomic about science, technology, language, and love has a large and passionate following. Every week millions of fans of Munroe’s stick figures visit xkcd.com … and many of them ask him a lot of strange questions. For example, what if you tried to hit a baseball pitched at 90 percent the speed of light? How fast can you hit a speed bump while driving and live? If there was a robot apocalypse, how long would humanity last? This book is a compilation of his most popular questions and answers - complimented by his signature xkcd comics.
* What Munroe sets out to do / Purpose of the book
* In pursuit of answers to reader’s questions, Munroe runs computer simulations, pores over stacks of declassified military research memos, solves differential equations, and consults with nuclear reactor operators. His responses are masterpieces of clarity and hilarity. They often predict the complete annihilation of humankind, or at least a really big explosion.
* The intended audience of "What If?" / Who will benefit most
* People who love science
* People who love learning
* People who enjoy thinking about how and why the world works
* People who want to become better problem solvers
* People who love comics
* People who want to spend time listening to someone who is really smart and really cool
* Who probably WON’T like this book?
* People who think hypothetical questions are unnecessary
* People who don’t care how or why the world works
* People who hate science and math
* People who don’t like stick figures
* How does this book specifically benefit Men?
* As a man, people are always going to be asking us why things happen the way they do. The world is a complicated and challenging place and much of what is happening is overwhelming to people. Books like ‘What If?’ help Men to hone our problem solving skills and help us to make better choices. Plus Men need a good sense of humor and xkcd and Randall Munroe is hilarious!
* Is this book Easy, Average or Difficult to read? / How long is it?
* Easy to follow, but the math/physics/chemistry/etc can get very challenging when Munroe breaks down the science behind the answers. Thankfully, you can always skip over the dense math stuff and just read the summaries. And of course there’s always the comics!

“Mastery” – Bookcast #47
Mastery (2012) by Robert Greene
Read and listen to "Mastery" on Amazon!
We’re very excited to announce our books “Sexual Magnetism,” “The WASM Dating Handbook” and “Secrets of Sensual Massage” are now available!
* Follow these links to get your copies of "Sexual Magnetism," "The WASM Dating Handbook" and "Secrets of Sensual Massage" on Amazon.com.
Want more great books? Check out our MUST READ LIST! Overview of “Mastery”
* A very brief description of “Mastery”
* Through the stories of dozens of highly successful famous people in many different fields, Greene has put together a powerful program teaching us how to achieve mastery in one's life. Mastery can be thought of as the unique way each of us can fully actualize our potential for greatness and enjoy a fulfilling life.
* What Greene sets out to do / Purpose of the book
* Greene's overarching thesis is to challenge the conventional notion of "genius" as a genetic gift bestowed upon a handful of individuals. He believes "genius" is acquirable, and all masters, regardless of intrinsic ability, go through roughly the same process on their path towards mastery.
* The intended audience of the book / Who will benefit most
* People who love history
* People who love stories of success and accomplishment
* People who enjoy having their ass kicked (in a good way)
* People who want to become more powerful, more successful and happier
* People who want to hear a self-help book that shares truth - not fluff
* Who probably WON’T like this book?
* People who need to believe that all the great accomplishments in our history were from superhuman “geniuses”...so they don’t have to take responsibility for their own lives
* People who want a easy, feel-good self-help book that won’t require them to make any real changes to their lives
* Lazy people (seriously, 7 years to get good at something??? BS!)
* Creationists
* How does this book specifically benefit Men?
* In the modern era, regular men are at a disadvantage because they’re easy to control. If you don’t set yourself apart it’s easy to become manipulated and jerked around by the powerful influence of culture, industry, political groups, media, our employers, our neighbors and even our friends and family. Mastery provides a road map for men to find their individuality. As leaders in our families and our communities it’s critical for Men to know who we are, what we’re passionate about and where we’re going in our lives!
* Is this book Easy, Average or Difficult to read? / How long is it?
* Easy to read, but NOT easy to implement! Also it’s going to take some time to digest the material in the book. Think about this more like a textbook for a class and less like the traditional self-help book.

* N/A Bio of Robert Greene
* Grew up in Los Angeles. Attended UC Berkeley and finished in University of Wisconsin with a degree in Classical Studies (aka Liberal Arts + English).
* He estimates he had “80 jobs before becoming an author,” including construction worker, translator, magazine editor, and Hollywood movie writer.

Learning the Wrong Lesson – TSMP #80
Matt and Jay discuss why learning the wrong lesson - or the right lesson - after we make a mistake will make all the difference between future successes or even greater failures.
We’re very excited to announce our books “Sexual Magnetism,” “The WASM Dating Handbook” and “Secrets of Sensual Massage” are now available!
* Follow these links to get your copies of "Sexual Magnetism," "The WASM Dating Handbook" and "Secrets of Sensual Massage" on Amazon.com. Intro: You’re Going To Lose. Again. And Again. And Again.
* We discussed it last time. Yeah it sucks. Yeah it’s a fact. Gotta accept it if we’re going to live in the real world. What We Tell Ourselves After We Fail
* Post-failure self talk determines your direction
* Are you a loser? Do you fundamentally not have what it takes? Are you not smart enough, talented enough, strong enough, courageous enough, creative enough - to actually get the W?
* Are you really not cut out for this? Maybe you should give up…
* Honestly, what shitty things do you tell yourself after you fail?
* All the things…the horrible things…we say to ourselves
* The wrong lessons Why We’re So Hard On Ourselves After Failing
* Often the wrong lessons come from our childhood
* Parents can be harsh, manipulative or just plain mean to us when we fail
* Teachers can crush our spirits and limit our belief in ourselves
* Classmates can be abusive and bully us
* Other family members and community can be snide, callous or even cruel
* Can be from adult failures
* So we slowly learn, over time, that whenever we fail, it’s really, really BAD.
* May be from traumas
* Divorce, injury, bad girlfriends, fired at work,
* BUT WE CAN REWRITE OUR SCRIPTS! Sometimes You Win, Sometimes You Lose Learn
* Question: When a highly successful person fails or makes a mistake, what do they do afterwards? How do they learn the right lesson instead of the wrong lesson?
Examples:
* Temple Grandin
* Growing up autistic, with overwhelming fear, constant sensory overload and problems interacting with people -> Becoming a world-class animal behaviorist, one of the leading authorities on cattle behavior and helping to create dozens of improvements to humanely raising and slaughtering cattle, and the most famous autistic scientist to study and research autism (that is to say, from “inside” the condition)
* How did Grandin turn her failure into success?
* Daniel Everett (with the Piraha people in Amazon)
* Years spent with a dangerous Amazon tribe trying - and failing - to translate the most difficult language on earth -> Eventual success after transforming himself, his world view, his beliefs about culture (and even his belief in God)
* How did Everett turn his failure into success?
* Freddie Roach
* Failure as a boxer - had some good bouts and a solid performance at the beginning of his career but started to fall apart physically and never became famous -> Tremendous success as one of the most winning boxing trainers in history - training superstars like: Manny Pacquiao (8 World titles), Julio Cesar Chavez Jr, Oscar De La and even Mike Tyson! - Also trained MMA greats Georges St. Pierre, Tito Ortiz and Anderson De Silva (among others)
* How did Roach turn his failure into success? How Do We Stop Learning the WRONG Lessons and Start Learning the RIGHT Lessons?
Step 1. Accept Your Failure (and the pain!)
* Yeah you screwed up. It sucks. It hurts. That's okay. It's part of the process.
Step 2. Become Aware of Your Natural Negative Response To Failure
* Pay attention to the negative tapes/stories/beliefs playing in your head after you fucked up
Step 3. Figure Out the Truth of the Situation
* Don’t lie to yourself or others.
Step 4. Choose a Positive, Productive Response To Failure
* Think of some positive, success-oriented tapes you could play instead that will help you to accomplish your goal
* For example:
* How can I use this experience to make me stronger next time? What did I learn that I can use later? What do I want to avoid? What do I need to work on? Who do I need to get close to - or away from? Am I truly passionate enough about this goal to deal with this pain? Is this simply a minor setback or should I focus my energy in a different direction?
Step 5. Go and Do Something Risky and Challenging Again
* Whatever you want in life, if you truly plan on getting it, if you’re serious…you’re gonna have to pay for it…
* …but once you’ve succeeded, once you can ride a bike or fly a plane or make a million dollar business or have sex with a beautiful woman…once you’ve learned the skill, you can do it again! Summary of Learning the Wrong Lesson
* Accept Your Failure
* Notice Your Shitty Mental Tapes
* Figure Out the Truth
* Choose a Positive, Productive Response To Failure
* Go Do the Thing Again…and Again…and Again…Until you get it! Conclusion
If you’re learning to ride horses and you get bucked off you have two choices: Get back on a horse or choose never to ride again for the rest of your life.

* A very brief description of “The Sea Wolf”
* Gentleman narrator, Humphrey Van Weyden is pitted against amoral sea captain, Wolf Larsen. The novel begins when Van Weyden is swept overboard into San Francisco Bay, and plucked from the sea by Larsen's seal-hunting vessel, the Ghost. Pressed into service as a cabin boy by the ruthless captain, Van Weyden becomes an unwilling participant in a brutal shipboard drama. Larsen's increasingly violent abuse of the crew fuels a mounting tension that ends in a battle to the death between two opposing philosophies: romantic idealism and cold, brutal materialism
* What London sets out to do / Purpose of the book
* Hailed by critics as one of the greatest sea stories ever written, this rousing adventure offers a fascinating combination of gritty realism and brilliant and beautiful writing. Jack London began his career at sea, and his shipboard experiences give The Sea-Wolf a powerful and magnetic authenticity.

* Anyone who has ADD (going to take some work to read this)
* Matt
* How does this book specifically benefit Men?
* The Sea Wolf is about how Humphrey Van Weyden, a rich gentleman who lived a life of ease, comfort and luxury, is thrust into the harsh reality of life at sea. Hump quickly learns that for the first time in his life he must develop his strength, skill and wits - or he will not survive.
* Is this book Easy, Average or Difficult to read? / How long is it?

Want more great books? Check out our MUST READ LIST! Overview of “Never Finished”
* A very brief description of “Never Finished”
* Can’t Hurt Me, David Goggins’ hit memoir, demonstrated how much untapped ability we all have - but it was merely an introduction to the power of the mind. In Never Finished, Goggins takes you inside his Mental Lab, where he developed the philosophy, psychology, and strategies that enabled him to learn that what he thought was his limit was only his beginning and that the quest for greatness is unending.
* What Goggins sets out to do / Purpose of the book
* The stories and lessons in this memoir offer the listener a blueprint they can use to climb from the bottom of the barrel into a whole new stratosphere that once seemed unattainable. Whether you feel off-course in life, are looking to maximize your potential, or drain your soul to break through your so-called glass ceiling, this book will help you get there

* How does this book specifically benefit Men?
* In Can’t Hurt Me, Goggins gave men a blueprint on how they can learn to accomplish spectacular things - but it sacrificed many elements of a more well-rounded life. In Never Finished Goggins teaches new lessons on how men can balance epic performance with leadership, family, compassion and inner peace
* Is this book Easy, Average or Difficult to read? / How long is it?
* The book is easy reading but content-wise it’s brutal and will trigger everyone who reads it (probably in multiple different ways)
* 299 pages, Audiobook is 11 hours
* NOTE: Like ‘Cant Hurt Me,’ the audio version of ‘Never Finished’ adds 3 hours of live Podcast conversation (including an incredibly powerful interview with David and his mother).

The Art of Losing – TSMP #79
Matt and Jay discuss why we suck at losing, how to get better at it and why embracing failure will make you a bigger winner than ever!
We’re very excited to announce our books “Sexual Magnetism,” “The WASM Dating Handbook” and “Secrets of Sensual Massage” are now available!
* Follow these links to get your copies of "Sexual Magnetism," "The WASM Dating Handbook" and "Secrets of Sensual Massage" on Amazon.com. Intro: Losing Sucks!
* Losing sucks - Failure sucks
* And we’re not good at it. Esp as Americans.
* Tom Brady falling apart this year
* Which is sad
* List of famous failures
* Abraham Lincoln
* Defeated in his run for state legislature (1832), failed in business (1833), had a nervous breakdown (1836), was defeated in his bid for congress (1843), defeated for US senator (1854), defeated as vice presidential candidate (1856) and defeated again as US senator (1858) before finally becoming president (1860) and then was murdered – but he also galvanized the country, abolished slavery and changed the course of US history!
* Widely considered one of the - if not THE - best US president
* Michael Jordan after switching to baseball (big failure in baseball)
* Michael had won 3 NBA Championships with the Chicago Bulls, 3 league MVP titles and was considered the best player in the league…THEN he switched to baseball
* Motivated by his father’s death and his dad’s dream for him to become a baseball player, Jordan joined the White Sox…and he was terrible. Never even played a major league game.
* After two seasons Jordan sucked it up, admitted he was crap at baseball and went back to the NBA…
* …and won 3 more championships! He is now considered the greatest basketball player of all time (Sorry you LeBron fans!)
* Tiger Woods
* Once considered to be the world's greatest golfer - winner of 14 majors titles in golf - Woods was involved in multiple scandals, major back injuries, family disintegration and a mental meltdown. Once #1 in the world, by 2017 Tiger had dropped to 1,199th. Starting the 2018 season, at age 42, after having gone through four back surgeries, including spinal fusion, the question was not whether Tiger could drive a golf ball 300+ yards, but whether he could ever again swing a club again without debilitating pain. He got off to a slow start in 2018, but then began to gather momentum. He almost won the 2018 PGA Championship, finishing second with his best-ever final round score in a major. Then, in what seems like a miracle, or perhaps a fairytale, Tiger did the impossible and came back to win the 2019 Masters for his 15th major title.
* Muhammad Ali
* Ali had been on the top of the boxing world. In 1960 he won an Olympic gold medal and over the next few years he built his reputation and skill and in 1965 he won the heavyweight championship of the world, in a stunning upset over the seemingly invincible Sonny Liston. But in 1967, after refusing to serve in the US military due to his objections to the Vietnam War, Ali was stripped of his world championship belt and his boxing license. He was convicted of draft evasion, sentenced to five years in prison, and fined $10,000. Although Ali did not serve time, he would not be allowed to fight again until 1970. Ali had been robbed of his prime years and he lost his 1971 bid for the heavyweight crown to Joe Frazier. In 1973 he lost a fight to Ken Norton in which his jaw was broken. He appeared to be washed-up a has-been. But then in quick succession Ali won rematches with Norton and Frazier, earning him the "right" to be knocked out by the reigning heavyweight champion, the hulking George Foreman. But in the celebrated "Rumble in the Jungle" a middle-aged Ali rallied to defeat Foreman and suddenly he was back on top of the boxing world again. Ali would go undefeated until 1978. By the time he retired, Ali was not only the most famous boxer on the planet, but the most famous athlete and probably the most-recognized human being around the world.
* Side Story: Twenty years later, in 1994 at the age of 45, George Foreman had an amazing comeback of his own, when he went up against heavyweight champion Michael Moorer and won to reclaim the title he had lost to Ali.
* Battle of the Alamo (1836)
* Mexican Army wiped out the American forces - huge mental loss
* Turned into rallying cry “Remember the Alamo!”
* Pearl Harbor (1941)
* Unleashed the US War machine Learning As An Adult
* Aka accepting failure / losing
* So effing hard
* Jay’s Fucked Up Back
* Accepting I’m not healthy, re-building it, SO FRUSTRATING! How Do We Accept Losing And Transcend It?
* Realize failure is part of the process
* Don’t make it personal
* Don’t attach your ego to the outcome
* Keep making small progress - little wins - to move you towards your goal
* Small, continuous wins will help offset the failure
* Accept the pain
* It hurts. Don’t deny it. Don’t bury it. Accept it. MAybe even relish it
* Learn to break through
* Once you learn that pain isn’t permanent and failure isn’t fatal, a whole new world of possibility is opened up to you David Goggins “Never Finished” Quote:
* “Nothing in my life has ever happened for me on the first try. It took me three cracks to get through Navy SEAL training. I had to take the ASVAB five times. I failed twice before making the world record for pull ups in 24 hours. But by then failure had long since been neutralized. When I set an unreasonable goal and fall short I don’t even look at it as failure anymore. It is simply my first, second, third or tenth attempt. That is what belief does for you. It takes failure out of the occasion completely because you go in knowing the process will be long and arduous - and that is what the fuck we do.”

* Official Bio from his website:
* Jack Carr led special operations teams as a Team Leader, Platoon Commander, Troop Commander and Task Unit Commander. Over his 20 years in Naval Special Warfare he transitioned from an enlisted SEAL sniper, to a junior officer leading assault and sniper teams in Iraq and Afghanistan, to a platoon commander practicing counterinsurgency in the southern Philippines, to commanding a Special Operations Task Unit in southern Iraq throughout the tumultuous drawdown of U.S. Forces.
* HOWEVER…The truth is a little more interesting
* Jack Carr is actually a pseudonym for TWO writers: Retired Navy Seal George Petersen and Keith Wood, a lawyer, novelist and journalist writes for Guns and Ammo, Forbes, American Rifleman, Shooting Illustrated, Fortune and more
* As far as we can tell at least the first book in the series was co-written by Peterson and Wood and possibly several more, however Peterson has become the face of “Jack Carr” and conducts all media interviews with no mention of Wood
* There is a 2019 lawsuit between the two men over ownership and credit of the “Jack Carr” brand

The Joys and Horrors of Moving Your Home – TSMP #78
Matt and Jay discuss why moving your home (and change in general) is so hard, why you should look forward to it, and how to do it the right way!
We’re very excited to announce our books “Sexual Magnetism,” “The WASM Dating Handbook” and “Secrets of Sensual Massage” are now available!
* Follow these links to get your copies of "Sexual Magnetism," "The WASM Dating Handbook" and "Secrets of Sensual Massage" on Amazon.com. Intro: Moving Your Home SUCKS
* Of the 43 items on the Holmes and Rahe Stress test, moving your home includes at least 10 (and often many more) of the items on that list
* The odds of you getting sick purely as a result of high levels of stress either during or after a move are very high!
* Some studies show that more than 50% of people don’t move even though they’re unhappy where they are simply because it’s too stressful
* One recent study shows that Moving Your Home is more stressful than
* Relationship breakdown
* Starting a new job
* Or even divorce! (Although that probably depends on how much you hate your spouse) Reasons Why Moving Your Home Is So Hard
* You have to move your whole life
* You have to go through everything you own, one piece at a time
* Then you have to pack it up, put in in the truck, drive it, take it out of the truck, take it up and down stairs, then unpack it (or have a mover do it all)
* You’re hardwired to resist change
* Habits are hard to make and then they’re hard to break
* Moving your home requires breaking MANY habits in a very short period of time
* You have to make lots and lots and LOTS of decisions
* Where to live (price, amenities, neighborhood, neighbors, landlords for renters, escrow and negotiating for buyers, condition of house, how badly did they lie/conceal issues?, etc, etc)
* Where to work (hopefully you have a job nearby already)
* Saying goodbye to your old friends
* The challenges of meeting new people
* Where is all the new stuff you need to survive? (Grocery stores, supply stores, schools, restaurants, parks, good parts of town/bad parts of town, etc)
* Moving your home is EXPENSIVE
* Rent truck, packing, first & last month’s rent/deposit on new home, new furniture, things for the new place, storage, movers (or favors owed to friends), insurance, broken things,
* Feeling Out of Control
* Lots of random things happen that you can’t control
* Flat tires, movers quitting, weather is super hot/cold, your back goes out,
* Mistakes that you will make
* Bad planning, missed details, things forgotten,
* Your timeline is at the mercy of other people and circumstances
* People don’t return calls. People forget. You’re put “in a cue” in a computer somewhere.
* Shit WILL Go Sideways
* Things will go wrong. Count on it.
* Ie. In my case, my good buddy who was going to fly down to San Diego and help me move - his dad died just a couple days ago. Super Sad. His dad was a great guy. So not only will he not be able to help me move, I’ll be heading up to Northern California for the funeral instead of moving on the weekend I had scheduled and now I have to juggle a bunch of stuff around. That’s how things are when you move. Unforeseen problems WILL HAPPEN. That’s the nature of the beast. How to Cope with the Difficult Parts of Moving Your Home
* Expect they’ll be difficult
* Save a bunch of money (much more than you think you’ll need)
* Take a lot of extra time (schedule at least 2x what you think you’ll need)
* Get help (friends, family, movers, other pros)
* Take breaks
* Keep your body loose and stretched out (most people get injured moving!) The Hard-but-Great Things About Moving Your Home
* New experiences
* New, cool place to live (or, if it’s a fixer-upper, the opportunity to create one)
* New friends
* Opportunity to declutter!
* The better you are at moving, the better you are at travel
* And travel is one of the few things that ALWAYS improves your life
* The unknown you could have never expected
* One of my personal rules about travel: “There’s always going to be at least one shitty thing you’d never expect but there’s also going to be at least five incredible things you’d never expect.”
* Same thing is true with moving
* Moving your home helps you to appreciate the value of trying new things
* When I first moved to SD from NorCal I was doing new stuff every day. New events every weekend. Exploring. Experiencing. It was all great. Beach just a few minutes away. Surfing. Sushi! New cool people. Neat little restaurants. Could drive from snow to swim in ocean in less than 2 hours (that was a cool experience)
* Over time I explored less and less. Eventually I almost stopped trying new stuff.
* Then as I’m prepping to move, I start looking around more and, for example, I found a new Chinese buffet a mile from my house that is amazing! It’s been there for 3 years and I just tried it two weeks ago. And now I won’t be able to eat there anymore.
* TRY NEW THINGS PEOPLE!!!
* Growth
* The more time you spend outside your comfort zone, the more capacity you have to experience increased pleasure, satisfaction, connection, stress reduction and overall freedom Conclusion
* Moving your home SUCKS! But guess what, so does GROWTH!
* The older we get, the less we want to try new things, to push outside our comfort zones, to look stupid, to make mistakes. But consciously spending time in this “uncomfortable” state is the secret to accomplishing ever greater and more amazing things.
* We challenge you to find some area in your life and ‘move it around’ - mix it up - try something new!
* Maybe change your exercise program, maybe your finances, maybe your sex life (plug book), maybe your relationship with your kids,
* Maybe it’s something big - going back to college or writing a book
* Maybe it’s something spiritual
* And hey, maybe it’s making that move that you’ve been wanting to make!
* Whatever it is, try something new. Push yourself a little bit. Make that hard choice and become a little bit more awesome.
* Do it! Make the move! And, as always, Stay Superior!

“Outliers” – Bookcast #43
Outliers: The Story of Success (2008) by Malcolm Gladwell
Read and listen to "Outliers" on Amazon!
We’re very excited to announce our books “Sexual Magnetism,” “The WASM Dating Handbook” and “Secrets of Sensual Massage” are now available!
* Follow these links to get your copies of "Sexual Magnetism," "The WASM Dating Handbook" and "Secrets of Sensual Massage" on Amazon.com.
Want more great books? Check out our MUST READ LIST! Overview of “Outliers: The Story of Success”
* A very brief description of “Outliers”
* Journalist and researcher Malcolm Gladwell takes us on an intellectual journey through the world of "outliers" - the best and the brightest, the most famous and the most successful - from software billionaires to soccer players to Asian math prodigies. His goal is to find the answer to the question: What makes high-achievers different from regular people?
* What Gladwell sets out to do / Purpose of the book
* The real meat of the book is Gladwell’s discussion of our misunderstanding of how highly successful people achieve their greatness. The modern media pays too much attention to what successful people are like, and too little attention to where they are from: that is, their culture, their family, their generation, and the idiosyncratic experiences of their upbringing.
* The intended audience of the book / Who will benefit most
* People who love biographies
* People who want to understand how to become successful
* People who want to know that unspoken truth about great success - that it often requires great luck as well as great work
* People who want to become world famous
* People who like reality TV shows
* Who probably WON’T like this book?
* People who need deep, scientific analyses of case studies
* People who believe in overnight success
* People who aren’t willing to commit 10,000 hours to their thing
* How does this book specifically benefit Men?
* All Men aspire to greatness but most men do not understand everything that is required to achieve it. Outliers will help to fill in the gaps in a man’s education so he can realize the skills, the work, the creativity - and the serendipity that is required to rise to the highest level of achievement.
* Is this book Easy, Average or Difficult to read? / How long is it?
* The book is easy reading although it may be difficult to accept how much work is required to achieve greatness
* 336 pages, Audiobook is 7 hours and 18 minutes
* What are the overall book reviews? Is the book well-known? Popular? Significant?
* Kindle: 22,667 ratings, 4.7 stars
* #5 in Business Decision-Making

* Book-To-Movie Translation
* N/A Bio of Malcolm Gladwell
* Malcolm Gladwell is an English-born Canadian journalist, writer and speaker.
* Gladwell was born Sept 3, 1963 in Fareham. His mother is Joyce Gladwell, a Jamaican psychotherapist. His father, Graham Gladwell, was a mathematics professor from Kent, England.
* When he was six his family moved from Southampton to the Mennonite community of Elmira in Ontario, Canada.
* Gladwell's father noted Malcolm was an unusually single-minded and ambitious boy. When Malcolm was 11, his father, who was a professor of mathematics and engineering at the University of Waterloo, allowed him to wander around the offices at his university, which stoked the boy's interest in reading and libraries. The University of Waterloo granted Gladwell an honorary doctorate in 2007.
* He graduated with a bachelor's degree in history from Trinity College of the University of Toronto, in 1984 but although he wanted to attend graduate school his grades weren’t high enough so he decided to pursue advertising.
* After being rejected by every advertising agency he applied to, he accepted a journalism position at American Spectator and has spent almost 40 years to date writing and working in investigative journalism
* Gladwell was a national class runner and an Ontario High School champion. He was among Canada's fastest teenagers at 1500 meters, running 4:14 at the age of 13 and 4:05 when aged 14. In 2014 he ran a 4:54 mile - when he was 51 years old!
* He has been a staff writer for The New Yorker since 1996. He has published five NYT bestsellers (and seven books overall): The Tipping Point (2000); Blink (2005); Outliers (2008); What the Dog Saw: And Other Adventures (2009); David and Goliath (2013); Talking To Strangers (2019) and The Bomber Mafia (2021). Breakdown of Themes in "Outliers"
* Our culture celebrates the myth of the “self-made man.”
* Once you reach a certain threshold, increased abilities no longer help you succeed.
* World-class mastery of anything demands around 10,000 hours of practice – no easy feat.
* The month you’re born in can have a huge effect on what you achieve.
* How you’re brought up can radically impact how successful you become.
* The year you’re born in can make or break you.

Intro: Meme Stocks and GameStop Insanity
Wikipedia: Game Stop Short Squeeze
* Ahhh GameStop. A happy place for gamers.
* Prior to January 2021, GameStop as a company had been struggling due to competition from online game distribution centers, as well as problems with COVID-19 reducing the number of people who shopped in-person. As a result, GameStop's stock price continued to decline and many institutional investors were short selling the stock. In April of 2020 GameStop stock had dropped to $2.80/share
* What is SHORT SELLING a stock?
* First, what is GOING LONG on a stock? Pretty straightforward. You buy a stock, hold it until it hits the level you want, then you sell it on the market and make a profit (hopefully)
* Okay, what is SHORT SELLING a stock? A little more complicated. You borrow stock from a broker that you don’t own and sell it on the market. Then when the price drops you buy the stock back at a lower price (called covering) and pocket the difference.

“Will” – Bookcast #35
Will 2021 by Will Smith and Mark Manson
Will Smith’s transformation from a West Philadelphia kid to one of the biggest rap stars of his era, and then one of the biggest movie stars in Hollywood history, is an epic tale — but it’s only half the story.
Will Smith thought, with good reason, that he had won at life: Not only was his own success unparalleled, his whole family was at the pinnacle of the entertainment world. Only they didn't see it that way: They felt more like star performers in his circus, a seven-days-a-week job they hadn't signed up for. It turned out Will Smith's education wasn't nearly over.
This memoir is the product of a profound journey of self-knowledge, a reckoning with all that your will can get you and all that it can leave behind. Written with the help of Mark Manson, author of the multi-million-copy best seller The Subtle Art of Not Giving a F*ck, Will is the story of how one person mastered his own emotions, written in a way that can help everyon…

In 50 Years We’ll All Be Chicks – Bookcast #34
In 50 Years We'll All Be Chicks 2010 by Adam Carolla
It's a sad and eerie harbinger of our times that the Oprah-watching, crystal-rubbing, Whole Foods-shopping moms and their whipped attorney husbands have taken the ability to reason away from the poor schlub who makes the Bloody Marys. What we used to settle with common sense or a fist, we now settle with hand sanitizer and lawyers. Adam Carolla has had enough of this insanity and he's here to help us get our collective balls back.
In 50 Years We'll All Be Chicks is Adam's comedic gospel of modern America. He rips into the absurdity of the culture that demonized the peanut butter and jelly sandwich, turned the nation's bathrooms into a lawless free-for-all of urine and fecal matter, and put its citizens at the mercy of a bunch of minimum wagers with axes to grind.
Brilliantly showcasing Adam's spot-on sense of humor, this book cements his status as a cultural commentator/comedian/complainer extraordinaire.

Project Hail Mary – Bookcast #33
Project Hail Mary 2021 by Andy Weir
Ryland Grace is the sole survivor on a desperate, last-chance mission—and if he fails, humanity and the earth itself will perish. Except that right now, he doesn’t know that. He can’t even remember his own name, let alone the nature of his assignment or how to complete it.
All he knows is that he’s been asleep for a very, very long time. And he’s just been awakened to find himself millions of miles from home, with nothing but two corpses for company.
His crewmates dead, his memories fuzzily returning, Ryland realizes that an impossible task now confronts him. Hurtling through space on this tiny ship, it’s up to him to puzzle out an impossible scientific mystery—and conquer an extinction-level threat to our species.
And with the clock ticking down and the nearest human being light-years away, he’s got to do it all alone.
Or does he?

The Call of the Wild – Bookcast #32
The Call of the Wild 1903 by Jack London
There is an ecstasy that marks the summit of life, and beyond which life cannot rise. And such is the paradox of living, this ecstasy comes when one is most alive, and it comes as a complete forgetfulness that one is alive.
The domesticated life of a powerful St. Bernard-Shepherd mix named Buck is quickly turned on end when he is stolen away from his master and put to work as a sled dog in Alaska. His once life of luxury turns into a life of survival and adaptation as he learns the ways of the wilderness.
Set in the Klondike region of Canada during the 1890s Klondike Gold Rush, The Call of the Wild showcases the transformation of a canine as he learns to adapt to what life has given him, fair or not.

If you're having trouble changing your habits, the problem isn't you. The problem is your system.

You fall to the level of your systems. Here, you'll get a proven system that can take you to new heights.
Atomic Habits will reshape the way you think about progress and success, and give you the tools and strategies you need to transform your habits - whether you are a team looking to win a championship, an organization hoping to redefine an industry, or simply an individual who wishes to quit smoking, lose weight, reduce stress, or achieve any other goal.

The Obstacle Is the Way – Bookcast #28
The Obstacle Is the Way (2014) by Ryan Holiday
Ryan Holiday's modern classic The Obstacle Is the Way draws its inspiration from stoicism, the ancient Greek philosophy of enduring pain or adversity with perseverance and resilience. Stoics focus on the things they can control, let go of everything else, and turn every new obstacle into an opportunity to get better, stronger, tougher. As Marcus Aurelius put it nearly 2000 years ago: “The impediment to action advances action. What stands in the way becomes the way.”
This book demonstrates how some of the most successful people in history—from John D. Rockefeller to Amelia Earhart to Ulysses S. Grant to Steve Jobs—have applied stoicism to overcome difficult or even impossible situations. Their choice to embrace these principles ultimately mattered more than their natural intelligence, talents, or luck.
If you’re feeling frustrated, demoralized, or stuck in a rut, this book can help you turn your problems into your biggest…

One Second After (2009) by William Forstchen
New York Times best selling author William R. Forstchen has written a novel about a terrifyingly real threat...a story in which one man struggles to save his family and his small North Carolina town after losing a war that will send America back to the Dark Ages...A war based upon a weapon, an Electro Magnetic Pulse (EMP) device, a weapon that may already be in the hands of our enemies.
Months before publication, One Second After had already been cited on the floor of Congress as a book all Americans should read, a book already being discussed in the corridors of the Pentagon as a truly realistic look at a weapon and its awesome power to destroy the entire United States, literally within one second. It is a weapon that the Wall Street Journal warns could shatter America. In the tradition of On the Beach, Fail Safe and Testament, this book, set in a typical American town, is a dire warning of what might be our future...and our end.…

Into Thin Air – Bookcast #26
Into Thin Air (1997) by Jon Krakauer
Into Thin Air is the definitive account of the deadliest season in the history of Mount Everest by the acclaimed journalist and author of the bestseller Into the Wild. On assignment for Outside Magazine, Krakauer, an accomplished climber, went to the Himalayas as a client of Rob Hall, the most respected high-altitude guide in the world. A rangy, thirty-five-year-old New Zealander, Hall had summited Everest four times between 1990 and 1995 and had led thirty-nine climbers to the top. Ascending the mountain in close proximity to Hall's team was a guided expedition led by Scott Fischer, a forty-year-old American with legendary strength and drive who had climbed the peak without supplemental oxygen in 1994. But neither Hall nor Fischer survived the rogue storm that struck in May 1996.

Six days ago, astronaut Mark Watney became one of the first people to walk on Mars. Now, he's sure he'll be the first person to die there.
After a dust storm nearly kills him and forces his crew to evacuate while thinking him dead, Mark finds himself stranded and completely alone with no way to even signal Earth that he’s alive—and even if he could get word out, his supplies would be gone long before a rescue could arrive. Chances are, though, he won't have time to starve to death. The damaged machinery, unforgiving environment or plain-old "human error" are much more likely to kill him first.
But Mark isn't ready to give up yet. Drawing on his ingenuity, his engineering skills—and a relentless, dogged refusal to quit—he steadfastly confronts one seemingly insurmountable obstacle after the next. Will his resourcefulness be enough to overcome the impossible odds against him?

The Prince – Bookcast #16
The Prince (1532) by Niccolo Machiavelli
The most famous (and infamous) book on politics ever written. The Prince was initially denounced as a collection of sinister maxims and a recommendation of tyranny. It is, in reality, the first description of the science of politics as they are ACTUALLY practiced rather than as they SHOULD be practiced.
As a young Florentine envoy to the courts of France, Spain and the Pope, Niccolò Machiavelli (1469–1527) was able to observe what rules a monarch must follow to stay in power - and which rules would lead to his failure (and often his death).
500 years later, The Prince has only grown more influential. Machiavelli's timeless wisdom and ruthless cunning are more relevant now than ever. If you want to achieve power and maintain it, this book is required reading.

Nineteen Eighty-Four (1984) – Bookcast #10
Nineteen Eighty-Four (1984) by George Orwell
Nineteen Eighty-Four is George Orwell's haunting prophesy of the future, a vision of totalitarian government that has held multiple generations of readers spellbound with its terrifying possibilities.
Though it was written over 60 years ago, this powerful and unforgettable story has lost none of its potency. The themes Orwell explores are critical to understanding the demands of absolute power: the obliteration of truth, the death of individuality and liberty, and the creation of a world where the ruling power controls everything, from information to thought and memory.
Bleak, chilling and far too close to reality, Nineteen Eighty-Four is one of the most important novels ever written.

Extreme Ownership – Bookcast #7
Extreme Ownership: How US Navy SEALs Lead and Win by Jocko Willink and Leif Babin
As leaders of SEAL Team Three's Task Unit Bruiser, Jocko Willink and Leif Babin's mission was to help US forces secure Ramadi, the most violent and dangerous battlefield in Iraq. In gripping, firsthand accounts of heroism, tragic loss, and hard-won victories, they learned that Extreme Ownership is the most important factor in whether a team succeeds or fails. Returning home from deployment, they instituted SEAL leadership training to pass on their harsh leadership lessons. After leaving the military, Willink and Babin launched the company Echelon Front to bring these same principles to the civilian world. Since 2010 Echelon Front has taught countless leaders in virtually every sector how to use Extreme Ownership to develop their own high-performance teams and effectively lead those teams to dominate their battlefields.
