I threw away anything that wasn't useful, there is still more to do and I'll go to get shelves for my stacks of books in order to put them neatly and a new desk to work on.
Interesting, how did you like it? Have you seen the movie?
The book is amazing - especially for people coming from a kind of religious background, mainly because it destroys most forms of altruism showing them to largely motivated by dark emotions and shows how and why selfishness is actually moral.
Quite incredible really, it opened my eyes a lot - though it's an extreme, there's a hell of a lot of truth in it.
It also has lots of examples of alphas and has it's own idea of what it means to be an alpha and how alphas interact with the world and what holds them back/stops them from the fullest show of their potential.
Haven't seen the film - book is like 1200 pages long!

Yeah, that's why I stopped reading it lol. But yeah, I love the film. Every time I watch it, it's like a re-charge to my greatest self. I suppose if you liked the book, you could re-read it too, but it's more time-friendly to just watch the film.
I actually haven't seen part 2, but I think I should just to get the full effect.
I've been wondering about what effect this thing has had on me, same as everyone I guess - it struck me this morning though.
After a week where I had a first meeting with a guy who I pitched an idea to for a business and now wants to go for it with me. After having gone out with two girls, both of whom wanted more but I didn't go for it just because of logistics. After I have had a number if arguments with people, always staying calm, and firmly drawing boundaries which they could not cross - it's safe to say am6 has had some effect.
Late last year I was a shell compared to what I am now, and I know there is still a long way to go, but I doubt very much that I would be where I am now without am6.
I still don't feel quite 'with it'. My life habits and feelings of laziness are still weighing me down - and I don't 'seek the challenge' nearly as much as I should or want to.
I also want the sort of social and sexual freedom that creates a positive spiral of self worth. It's not quite there.
The new BASE seems to incorporate all that I want to evolve further, apart from the social and sexual freedom aspect. If only it had ns4m! (No doubt impossible)
It's kind of with a heavy heart that I choose to go with BASE, as my instincts say screw that shit and get laid son!
But the promise of putting laziness and unfocused to bed finally is far too appealing.
I'm hoping that as with am6 certain aspects are woven into each stage, particularly ogsf, ultra success and ultra motivation.

This is what all I want so hear .. a genuine statement .. both positive and negative aspects of the program.
A revelation today after my first bout of tapping in a while.
I HATE WORK. For some reason I just fkn hate it. I hate being told what to do. I hate having to follow rules. I hate having to fit into a structure - I just hate the discomfort and the payoff just never seems worth it!
No wonder I procrastinate and am so lazy. Going to delve deeper, think in just scratching the surface
That's great yo! Why not just do whatever the f*ck you want within the work environment? I know I do (of course, I've got the experience to rely on too).
I get paranoid about what people are thinking - which is the only motivation I have. That's what p1sses me off so much - it's like being held over a barrel - makes me really angry.
The anger is good though gives me fuel to get shit done somehow!
