With unprecedented levels of wealth all over the world, not least in the first world – why are the rates of depression among men (who are subject to this wealth) on the rise? What is causing this? Why is the meme ”doomer” so popular? Most importantly, what is the solution to the increased feeling of meaninglessness and apathy that men are facing today? How do men regain a sense of purpose in life in the age of the internet?I have spent countless hours into self-development, both in theory and in practice. This includes listening to and reading books by some of the world's greatest minds, these hours have ultimately culminated in this book. It contains the most essential realizations that have drastically improved the quality of my life, and now I want to share it with other men who need guidance. It is a book I wish I had been given at the age of 20.I hope this book can serve as a guide to anyone (in particular men) who require practical guidance to improve their life. If you feel lost, lonely, depressed, aimless, deprived, or in general, just want to improve your life situation you have come to the right place. I continuously talk on the subject of relationships, purpose, positive habits, influential books, and ideas over at YouTube under the name "Based Brothers". Stay Based!
Brilliant read, swallow some tough pills here and get based brother! One of the best short books I've encountered. Every man should read this to evolve mentally physically and spiritually. Quotes by the author which were worth pointing and messages learnt between the lines are:
Only with the knowledge today do you experience regret. Change perspective and rephrase failure/regrets as something meaningful for growth opportunities.
"Challenge is your friend; stagnation is your enemy."
Illnesses/fatigue are because your mind is racing ahead of your body. Your body will never lie, but your mind may. It is your friend, not your enemy.
"Peace of mind is internal and not achieved by externalities."
If you are mad at the symptoms, you will never cure the disease.
“There is nothing to lose, but everything to win. Remember, we all meet the same fate. Death is your friend.”
“If you don’t stand for something, you’ll fall for anything.”
Essential guide for men in the Western World. As Men have become what I describe "demasculinized". Men need mental, physical and spiritual growth. Nothing more nor less.
BASED mental, physical and spiritual mastery is a great book for men who want to gain a greater understanding of themselves and what they can do to improve and become BASED. Pulling from ancient philosophies such as Stoicism as well as current thinkers such as Naval Ravikant to understand how men can grow and become stronger in the 21st century. The book was recommended to me by Elisha Long, someone who is truly strong and powerful in both his thinking and his actions, and BASED introduces similar figures to you of which you can utilise in your journey towards becoming BASED.
If you’ve never been anywhere or done anything, this book is for you! If you have some critical thinking skills and discernment, this is trash. The good parts, are the advice on exercising and meditation. If you’re the type of person to read this book, chance are you’ve already read the material and probably heard the original from the Red Pill/Manosphere corner of YT. I wish you well in your journey.
This is the ultimate game plan for personal development and generally living a fulfilling and rich life(in both of the meanings of that word). He outlines principles and habits that are the foundation for success and happiness...
