A Book, A Blog, A Podcast

First – let me get this out of the way : I fed a squirrel. I saw a bunch of squirrels so I went back to the RV and got some almonds. I put one in my hand and sat around forever, and finally a squirrel came and ate it. It was the cutest thing ever – he put his little front paws on my hand to eat it. Now I’m obsessed with feeding the squirrels, but I haven’t had any more success.

Ok, so let me share a few things with you that will keep you entertained for a while.

I read the book, “The Four Hour Workweek”

This book is probably the single best personal improvement book I’ve ever read. It talks about how to maximize your LIFE by working as efficiently as possible and using your free time well. As I read the book I alternated between thinking “wow! I do that too!” and “oh my god, I need to write that down!”

I’m not a huge fan of these sorts of books usually, but this one was great. It has very practical and specific advice, and you can tell that the guy is actually living the life he wants to live. I actually took notes (which I never even did in school) and have already implemented a few of his ideas.

Next up is what I consider to be the best blog on personal improvement out there today. I used to be a big Steve Pavlina fan, but as far as I’m concerned, he’s lost it. Don’t get me wrong – he’s an incredible person and has a lot to admire, but I find his newest advice to be 95% new age junk that isn’t actually going to produce results.

Tyler from Real Social Dynamics is one of the most, if not the most, talented pickup artists in the world. He has a lot of great ideas beyond just picking up women and has a very thorough approach to self improvement. His blog is the only blog that I read on a regular basis – I cut out all the ones that I felt were a waste of time, and his was the only one left.

Last, but not least, I just did a monster interview with the guys over at Pickup Podcast. It was so long that they split it into two parts. I talk about my book a lot and what it was like living in Hollywood. I think you guys will like it, so click here to listen to both episodes.

Time to go to the creek….
