Wow! I’ve read several of these books- I’m in the middle of “The Artist’s Way” now and love it- but I’m really surprised to see you read “Psycho-Cybernetics!” I just bought it bcs an author I like recommended it- had never heard of it til a few weeks ago, but this is the 2nd recommendation of it I’ve seen in the last month. And it’s pretty old! Looking forward to digging into it... Solid reading list- great reviews!
Basically, like the basis of most western 'self-help' and philosophy books, much of this can be summed up with: Buddhism. Other good book: The Subtle Art of Not Giving a F'ck by Mark Mason.
You might already know about the author and the book seeing that you mentioned Existentialism, but I recommend The Myth of Sisyphus by Albert Camus. It was the first book I read by an existentialist philosopher and I loved it :)
Your ex made some points! Most self help books could be reduced to half of their length cause they get very repetitive. They usually have two or three points they want to get across and then just write and write and wriiiite chapters around them. Still, there's some life lessons in there!
That's why i really like the idea of the genre itself but not the execution, it just feels too preachy. Also it feels like they're telling me something that i already know so why bother? (im an overthinker oops) still very fascinating tho!
okay, so I agree that most of self-help books can be reduced to some bullet points, BUT the point of those books IS to be repetitive and to tell you the same thing over and over and OVER again, so that it'll finally kick into you. If you just read a small article with a few points of what you should do to help yourself, you're most likely gonna forget about those in a few hours/days, but reading the same concept during a long period of time is gonna make that idea stick into your head Sorry if this sounded aggressive - I've got love/hate relationship with self-help books too, but they really got me through some dark times in my life, when I was 14, 19 and 23 - don't underestimate those.
i completely agree! different people understand different ways of saying something so hearing a concept explained 3-5 different ways you have a better chance of it "clicking" eventually.. i guess some people just get it the first try and thats why they deem the book too repetitive.
@@carlie9584 this is very true! I'll read a version of a self-help book and practice what I read for a few months, then something bad happens that causes me to revert back to my old ways of reacting and my brain "forgets" the progress I made. And so I gravitate towards another self-help book. We NEED a bunch of self-help books saying the same thing- it's the only way we will [eventually] learn.
That's so right. It's not like we don't intellectually understand and resonate with what's said in those self help books, but emotionally we just can't TAKE IT IN and EMBRACE. That's why we just repeating them and saying it to ourselves over and over again
between lesbians around here is quite often, tbh. You can even see exes going out on double date with other exes (I think I made it a bit confusing). From my own experience, all the women I dated I have them as friends, some not so close anymore, but for life reasons. My longest relationship lasted around 6/7 years and we're kinda close friends for 11 -we broke up almost 4/5 years ago.

omg before i clicked i was like i hope this man has read the war of art and !!!! literally first time i read it i started my new youtube channel, second time i moved to korea. i love that book (minus a few middle chapters in there lol)
Promiscuous teleology is a human mainstay. It's actually a reason to believe in evolution in a messed up backwards way. The revolutionary freedoms promised by existentialism get beaten down by our ability to find faces everywhere. Jesus toast. Humans evolved as social beings.
b mil ppl definitely do this maybe damon but i feel like he does it more to hide his ex's identity? probably bc the ex doesn't want ppl in his business or something like that, i don't think damon wants to shame him every time he says ex it's probably more of a privacy thing
When I moved to nyc from my small Illinois town right out of highschool I found out people were making bets about when I would return for whatever sad reason. But it made me feel a lot of doubt. Lol too bad I've been living my best life and they are still stuck in that small town wondering when I'll succumb to it like they did. They need some of these books.
Lol the only place where people are actually thinking about you as much as you think they are, small towns. If y'all are stuck in one, go travel. It'll do wonders for your perspective.
omg so happy for you out there, living your best life. Be sure, someone is going to be thinking of you- and it's me, projectiong myself saying what you've said in the future

I really like Seneca's Letters from a Stoic because it's insanely good advise that can really hit you from a great philosopher who lived like two thousand years ago and it is very easy to read compared to other philosophers (some of his advise is not fully applicable to the present but most of it is)
The Artist’s Way is a healing experience. That book is like going on a vacation because you start giving yourself time to go back to yourself, but it also brings up things to the surface that needs to be addressed.
10:55 to anyone interested in existentialism i’d highly suggest you read the book “at the existentialist café” by sarah bakewell. it’s more of a biography/philosophy overview than a self-help book however it helped me understand some of the key concepts that philosophers who first introduced this school of thought discussed in their works and that alone served as sort of an epiphany and completely changed my way of understanding life. also, one type of therapy in psychology was based on existentialism and there’s a great book by one of the leading existential therapist - irvin d. yalom, called “when nietzsche wept” which, even tho it’s a fictional novel, also presents main ideas of existentialism in a super interesting way so i highly recommend that one as well!! okay that’s all, have a nice day ❤️
Damon's ex's got a point tho. Like in cognitive science we say cognitive affordance is almost always something to celebrate because some non semantic knowledge like these life advice are not meant to be learnt the easy way. Maybe you feel like you get something out of that book, but most of the time it's only because you already have that lesson in your subconsciousness. Or think about learning how to swim by reading a book instead of getting into the water, but only even more difficult.
Hahaha same here, I rarely pick up a book but when I do I dive so much into the story that everyone would think I have a reading habit fully developed 😂
Love the square video. Love the color scheme. Maybe it’s just a Paris color scheme idk but I love it. Adore your videos, not a single video I don’t like. Okay thanks bye

TLDR: existentialism is crippling for some of us. i agree with X on that existential book like I have OCD and anxiety so when these questions enter my head they usually end up with me having a mental breakdown coz my brain can't let shit go. If I can't find the answer then the question is going to keep going in my head and that has happened too many times in quarantine coz life is very uncertain at the moment. ( i have video about all the questions i feel occupied by on my channel, i think its called im 17 or something i dont remember) i dont know where im going with this but i think its kinda weird to romanticize existentialism. those french dudes were not having fun when they became existentialists.
je pense ce qui me gène dans ces livres (ce que ton ex disait un peu) c'est le ton de vérité absolue dans lequel les auteurs s'expriment, ça donne aussi un coté donneur de leçon avec lequel j'ai vraiment du mal.
haha your ex's commentary cracked us up!! But we can definitely see where he's coming from on some points... we've read a few too many personal development books where it feels like the author is just taking the piss. I mean do we really need a chapter full of examples made for ONE point?! 😅
Damon, I have a question. I’m reading this book called “Transform your self-talk” and I’m wondering if your self-talk (inner dialogue) is in different languages? And if so is it more positive/negative in one language versus another?
just want to say thank you for being you. as a younger person, it’s so inspiring to see someone who is so confident in themself and openminded. we need more people like you in the world. ❤️
Damon just going through all the revelations I had over the course of 2.5 years of therapy lmao. If only this video was released before then, I coulda saved a whole lotta $$$
Dude, maybe your positive vibe will rub off on your ex. Negative people get more sick.lol Seriously tho, some of these self help books are legit. And positive reenforcement can over time be manifested. If you think it, and you believe, it will be. It took me forever. I used to be like your ex about these books. There is science behind a lot of this. Even going to church and praying helps. Doesn't mean the bible is true but the power in praying to the universe or yourself has some energy to it.
There’s this book called the “Geography of Bliss” I recommend it. It’s not really a self help book but this guy goes to different places and understands different countries view on happiness (or unhappiness) and their purpose in life. “To be a good ancestor.” Always stuck with me. Hope you read this comment and I hope you pick up the book. :)
Unfortunately, if all it took was bullet points to get meaning across to people, poetry would be bullet points, music would be bullet points. The truth is sometimes a well-written metaphor or anecdote can make someone feel a "bullet point" idea more than just like "- eat - pray - love."
Baby Damon's biceps out here poppin' from carrying around all this wisdom.

A lot of times you only learn stuff through a gradual process of reading. Bulletpoints don’t give you that

And positive reenforcement can over time be manifested. If you think it, and you believe, it will be. It took me forever. I used to be like your ex about these books. There is science behind a lot of this. Even going to church and praying helps. Doesn't mean the bible is true but the power in praying to the universe or yourself has some energy to it.
*Oh I’m just waiting for our Raida to come back 😭* **sighhhhh**
Yes!
Yes!
Love your French! :-D
I see why he’s your ex.
Jk
Lol
the ex has weird vibes, but I love how Damon keeps his light and upbeat personality despite that guy being so pessimistic.
i think that’s just the parisian attitude coming out lol
@@nicole-su8dl also he was sick
There’s this book called the “Geography of Bliss” I recommend it. It’s not really a self help book but this guy goes to different places and understands different countries view on happiness (or unhappiness) and their purpose in life. “To be a good ancestor.” Always stuck with me. Hope you read this comment and I hope you pick up the book. :)
Sounds interesting to me! Thanks for the recommendation😍
Unfortunately, if all it took was bullet points to get meaning across to people, poetry would be bullet points, music would be bullet points. The truth is sometimes a well-written metaphor or anecdote can make someone feel a "bullet point" idea more than just like "- eat - pray - love."
Your ex is so french, I’m laughing so much 😂😂😂
