I used to think this guy was a straight up fraud, but he's actually "successful" and he's raking in the big bucks and is always hanging around hot bitches and nice cars. I watched some of his videos and it's fucking mind boggling. It feels very weird watching the people around him, how they act, always smiling and agreeing with him, but he always sounds like an idiot, all his "advice" is common sense that literally everyone knows or circular logic where in the end he says nothing at all. It's really bizarre.

what is his definition of 'read'?

seems like his aim is to browse through with a light speed-read and get the 'gist' of the book.

we may say that this isn't truly reading, but perhaps he isn't claiming to have the same understanding on a complete subtextual level. and as a 'business person,' i would expect him to read lots of self-help types books which amount to expanded powerpoint presentations anyways.

Why do anglo's do everything for pussy?
I really think this must be an anglo thing because I don't get this extreme thirst for pussy.
Like they will work 100 hours a week and then come on here shame you for not doing so, or just being 'unsuccesful' ( that is, just a mediocre salary ), while they, these demigods who are forging their apotheosis through hard labour, will be rewarded with the greatest gift of all: pussy.

This is what I learned from anglo's on 4chan: money + (jawline + height ) = success = pussy = kids = contribootin.

What a fucking joke of an existence you guys live.

In another video he explains himself that "by reading a book a day" he actually means that he only reads a section, a particular chapter or skips thru to things he finds important.

The 'one book a day' thing is a complete gimmick. If that makes him a fraud I don't know...probably.

Pretty sure it's a TED Talks video but I'm not looking it up because I already spent too much time typing this about this faggot.

Read that as "The Tao Lin" conspiracy. He's right, I've never heard of him because I have adblock, and if it weren't for the couple of lit posts with his car, I wouldn't know him in the face. Who the fuck is he, anyway?

That is the insinuation that I find to be the most repulsive of all, yes.

That somehow under this perfect system that we have, (its name being "the free market", since "capitalism" is a loaded term used by communists, naturally), everyone has the opportunity to succeed, if one only applies himself. If for any reason one fails, why, it is only because one is lazy and not hard-working enough.

And those who do succeed, no matter through what means, are always deemed important figures with something worthy to be said on pretty much everything. Hence the TED talks. A sad state of affairs.

I've watched his videos, and they're really inspiring, Tbh. He tells us exactly what we need to do to have the best chance of success, and he's absolutely right. When he says read a book a day, he isn't talking about To Kill A Mockingbird or No Game No Life. He's talking about the 7 habits of highly effective people, think and grow rich, the millionaire next door, etc.

those books are full of common sense, feel good platitudes, and (very rarely) plagiarized but vastly watered down philosophy/psychology

the reason it's possible to just flip through them in an hour the way he says, is because they're literally full of shit.

my advice is, don't even read those books in the first place. that will free up even more of your free time.

They include a little bit more than "you can do it," but even those sections are useful to get motivation. Lots of successful people have used it to their advantage. If you don't want it, just keep doing what you're doing, I guess.
