I read that book coming to the conclusion getting rich is not worth it and subject to luck and a lack of mental health. Which I think is pretty much what Felix Dennis intended. I bought the book expecting practical advice (I was young and h

It's not the lack of milk that's the problem. It's the getting rid of the milk.

Awesome. Say thanks to your friend. I have this issue. Which is weird if you still have a high libido and want some relieve.

The wording is a bit weird though, isn't it? Why wouldn't you write "filmmaker from Mobile, AL"?

Well, anything you learn about changes your perspective. I'm a musician, so I hear music differently than non musicians. But I still get to enjoy it, too. I'm just not as easy to be aroused by it, I guess. I can't always sh

It wasn't my intention to speak ill of good books on photoshop. I was just trying to think of an example. I'm aware that there are probably great books on Photoshop, and that probably most are.

If it's a good book, it's a good book. I was talking in general terms and using a random example.

Thanks, I should have read the article first and keep my mouth shut. Although you've provided a great summary because of my question.

I've only read the headline, but isn't this the consensus already? Full disclosure: I'm on antidepressants and probably don't really need them.

If you read a lot of good books and watch a lot of good movies, and then also read books about psychology, philosophy, and art, and music, and read reviews about the things you consume ... What is a good book? If it's older than 30 yea

I feel like this really depends on the topic. When I see a 1000 page tome about every single feature of Photoshop, then nope. I'll google it thanks. History is non-fiction, too. And I'd definitely rather read a book than some blog

I've been shocked by 230 V light fixtures twice. Both times I had a very similar experience as you described. My guess is that it went only through the one hand, and the sensation in the arm is just a side effect.

In that sense everything is at fault, not just all forms of media. But social media has no downtime and is engineered to be addictive. A casino will lose it's appeal once you've run out of liquidity. Social media has next to no pr

In my personal history my creativity has dropped by a frightening amount since the rise of YouTube and smartphones. I now have to actively lock myself out of certain services and do daily meditation sessions to somewhat counteract those dis

The first sentence might be true, but the second one has it exactly wrong. The unpredictalbe kiddo with too much money is his aura.

I think the tracking itself is fine. The recommendation engine just has become really stale. It's hard to believe that out of all the hundreds of hours uploaded per minute (or whatever) there are only like 20 videos per week that I mig

My children's favorite pastimes: reading, building stuff with legos, drawing and painting, roughhousing, listening to audiobooks, climbing on a gym rack thingy that we got gifted from a neighbor. Also: building things out of pillows, b

Choosing to isolate yourself from others or strive to be overly individualistic would be an example of maladaptation in my view. If you grew up in a emotionally nurturing familiy of origin you probably will have no intention to do so. I thi

Yes. And German isn't even the most phonetic language I speak. That would be Croatian, where even loanwords are spelled phonetically, which isn't the case in German.

There is such a thing. If you've ever been inauthentic for some time and then authentic, you know there's a massive difference in how you feel about yourself. But it's true that the term is thrown about a lot without being ex

It's easy to spell, as are most German words. It's just a lot of letters. Ironically, the word you quoted contains spelling errors.

Just to be clear, I'm not against medication or distraction when appropriate. And I agree with you :-)

A lot of people here seem to be offended by this essay because of the literal definition of the term "cult" and start looking for potential cults they may be part of. I think they are mistaken. To me, this essay clearly speaks abo

Just as an FYI: I recently started working on my CPTSD by reading stuff by Pete Walker and watching interviews with Gabor Mate. My symptoms have been significantly mitigated. My overall mental health has improved massively, too. Full disclo

I have been producing music as a hobby for around 25 years. There were maybe two songs where I had to put some effort into practicing the parts I was recording. Maybe even just one. The hard parts for me are finding good arrangements, makin
