A good book on this subject is The Compound Effect by Darren Hardy.

Another is Psycho-Cybernetics by Maxwell Maltz, although it's longer and more technical.

Both books exist in audiobook form as well.

1.) Visit https://www.reddit.com/r/SuicideWatch/wiki/hotlines

2.) As the joe said, get your drug problem under control.

3.) Build confidence. Almost all your problems/fears/stress will disappear by building confidence. There's many ways to do this. The main ones that worked for me were: (a) Exercise/work out, (b) Take a public speaking class, and (c) Fake it till you make/become it ,essentially mindset change (ex: from, "I'm not prepared to face the real world" to, "Bitch, I'll handle anything you throw at me!" - EVEN IF you know that that's not true)

4.) Get skills for a job. I'm still working on this so I may not be of much help. r/getemployed

5.) Read. One of my favorites is The Compound Effect. How to Win Friends & Influence People was a good primer when I was starting self-help.

I've read a lot of business books in the past year. These include:

7 Habits of Highly Effective People

Rich Dad Poor Dad

Think and Grow Rich

How to Win Friends & Influence People

Secrets of Closing the Sale

How to Master the Art of Selling

The E-Myth Revisited

The Compound Effect

The Slight Edge

The $100 Startup

The Toilet Paper Entrepreneur

I have 4HWW waiting to be read, in addition to about 15 other books that are sitting there, waiting to be read.

The $100 Startup is very inspiring, especially for people who have no chance at securing a "normal" job (I dropped out of college). The Toilet Paper Entrepreneur is also very informative. But out of this list, by far, my two favorite books are The Compound Effect and The Slight Edge. #1 going to The Slight Edge. Read this book. Maybe it won't apply to everyone as much as it did to me, but it totally changed my attitude towards life.

I highly recommend The Compound Effect. It won't help you tackle everything at one time, but it will help you ease into the process. Once you've developed some good habits then you're free to add/subtract as you see fit. Good luck!

It's not easy! My biggest takeaway since starting this is to know when and where to let go of control. TDW functions as a team. We have to trust one another that we will do our individual jobs. But because we are doing it consistently and (hopefully mostly) well, we had cornered a nice-sized audience in a very crowded niche of podcasting.

The hard part is when you're faced with the dilemma of making money in one place, or maintaining consistency in this place.

Check out The Compound Effect. Get through the first chapter quickly (because it's crap), the rest of the book are great tips on making these incremental changes that snowball into positive effects. The book is business oriented, but the tips are applicable is any aspect of life.

On the subject of smart, small habits having a good return I recommend The Compound Effect

Other great books I've read this year:

Robert B. Cialdini - Influence: Science and Practice

Yuval Harari - Sapiens

Elizabeth Kolbert - The Sixth Extinction: An Unnatural History

Vicki Robin - Your Money Or Your Life

Brains are a lot like our bodies: after a while, they begin to crave what we feed them on a routine basis. If you have an appetite for games and watching movies, it's because you decided to engage in the behavior consciously previously in your life. You could've done something different, but you chose to go with what felt easy and good. This isn't a bad thing either, just know that you've had an active role in the creation of your habits.

On the other side of the coin, choosing to engage in a new behavior doesn't mean you have to throw your entire life into upheaval. Start today by adding one new habit. That's it, just one thing you can do today for 5-10 minutes. BUT, you'll repeat the behavior every day. From this, you gain momentum, and will naturally want to spend more time engaged in your new habit because it feels so natural to you. It's become just "something that I do" and you won't have to force yourself to do it. Someone else recommended The Power of Habit by Charles Duhigg, and it's a fine book, but I much prefer The Compound Effect by Darren Hardy. He describes how small actions taken over time lead to big results, and in surprising ways how seemingly insignificant decisions about what to do with our time can radically change our lives.

Check it out, I think you'll get a lot out of it.

The Compound Effect - By Darren Hardy

I recommend that people read this book.



>No matter what you learn,
what strategy or tactic you employ,
success comes as a result of The Compound Effect.

Spot on. Two powerful books I've read remind me that being consistent, and faithfully providing good content that brings value - that's the best way. No shortcuts. That's why I refuse to do those spammy posts or signup for those "get more subscriber" ads. (BTW, the two books are "The Compound Effect" and "Crushing It" - both are great reads if you're serious about establishing your brand.

This one is my favorite.. and I've read quite a few. It's so good that I might reread it soon.
