Practice Mitfreude: When we see others succeed, even though we try to hide it, we feel a pang of envy. That’s our normal reaction. But where does this leave us? Only more crushed. Instead, the author suggests practicing something he borrowed from Friedrich Nietzsche – Mitfreude. This means that you actively try to feel the joy others are experiencing. When you see how others are making progress, try to feel their happiness. Imagine what it’s like to be in their position. This will make you genuinely excited about them. Additionally, it will give you the strength to work on your own projects. Hope for us all: To keep going with our long-term aim. The author offers two notions: First, to learn about people who were able to attain mastery. People like Leonardo da Vinci, Marcus Aurelius, Anton Chekhov. To use their accomplishments as fuel for our project. Secondly, to utilize the maker’s mindset. When we work on our goal, we should feel excitement and energy. Repress our ego and become exceptionally practical. Getting to know this “exciting” blend of emotions and feelings that your mind is prone to experience will prepare you. Remove the fog and show you the prime source of all of your problems. He didn’t become a best-selling author overnight. In fact, the book starts with a short story about his writing career.

The first part of the journey is about Mastery. And the first step on that journey is identifying your Life Task. We won’t get to Mastery in this month. Mastery is the theme of month number three. Embrace your weirdness: If you’re trying to be like everyone else, you won’t get far. Robert Greene suggests doubling down on your weird metrics. Traits. Bizarre obsessions. Use your weirdness as a tool that will differentiate you from the rest.Take control of your image: We judge people based on their outward appearance. Do you think the case is different for you? It surely isn’t. If you’re not strategic with how you appear and what you convey, you will let others form their own image about you. Be responsible for that. Create a well-polished image for yourself. Add a dose of mystery. A dose of excitement. The point is that you are responsible for how people perceive you.

The painful truth: There are no shortcuts. Don’t try to bypass the apprenticeship phase, Robert Greene says. Yes, we literally have to spend hours working and refining the skill we want to acquire if we want to master it. There is no other way. Here’s how: he knew precisely how to use reward and punishment to influence behavior. He rarely rebuked people – but that made his rebukes all the more effective. Their rarity gave them extra force. He also rarely gave praise or promotions; when he did, it was only ever merit-based. Again, the rarity of the praise increased its value tenfold. So Greene did everything he could to make her like him. He talked to her more. He tried to get her more involved in the development of his ideas. This didn’t help. Actually, it seemed to make the problem worse. In the end, baffled and frustrated, he quit. October. The Emotional Self: Coming to Terms with Our Dark Side: We are not fallen angels. We have dark patterns that, if not understood, will lead to self-sabotage and derail. The text in the month of October will help you understand what are our primitive roots. Then, help you protect yourself from your natural flaws.Officially, we disapprove of deception. Good people are forthright, frank, honest. They tell the truth, whether it’s in their interest or not. Lies and masquerades, on the other hand, are the preserve of cowards and con artists. Or at least, that’s the official line. Book Genre: Business, History, Leadership, Nonfiction, Personal Development, Philosophy, Productivity, Psychology, Relationships, Self Help Deep down. There are patterns that derail you from your goals. Making you act emotionally when you should act rationally. Convincing you to buy things, instead of invest in things.

Remember, though, that it’s a process. You can get to the Inside – but you can always go deeper. You can always learn more. A Master is never content with where they are. Real Master’s are eternally pursuing Mastery, always trying to get even more Inside. April So what’s the law? There’s no skipping the Apprenticeship Phase! People may look like natural geniuses; they’re almost certainly not. Remember this, and accept that you’ll be an apprentice many times in your life – like every time you set out to learn a new skill or step into a new role. Don’t let the Apprenticeship Phase frustrate you. Embrace it. Learn all you can. And, slowly but surely, you’ll get through it and enter the next phase. At the time, Greene was in his mid-twenties, and when it came to the world of power plays and office politics – the game of power that’s always being played – he was completely naive. He had no idea there was a game. And he paid a price for that. Irresistible by Joshua Paul Dale delves into the surprisingly ancient origins of Japan’s #kawaii culture and uncovers the cross-cultural pollination of the globalised world 🦊
