If variety is the spice of life, and new things are challenging, well then Daygame is the gift that keeps on giving. If there’s one thing on this planet which is determined to turn you into a Stoic then that is Daygame. That or those who succeed at Daygame were the Stoics all along. By … Continue reading Stoic Daygame

Comfort is a Feeling (The Myth of Grounding)
I had a Skype call on Sunday where part of the conversation went like this: What do I do if the girl is shy and won’t ask me questions? If she doesn’t ask me any questions and doesn’t know anything about me then surely she is more likely to flake? Am I running enough comfort? … Continue reading Comfort is a Feeling (The Myth of Grounding)
Work Update, and The Importance of Being Able to Walk Away
I’d like to cap off this week of work-related posts with a quick update. I ended up talking to my manager about my plans: I didn’t say exactly what I was going to do, just that I was going to be leaving within the next 8 months “to start my own business.” I’m lucky in … Continue reading Work Update, and The Importance of Being Able to Walk Away
Progressive Overload
I recently saw this tweet from Mr. B and thought it would be a great opportunity to talk about progressive overload in Daygame. The thing is, reaching the optimal point / your potential / achieving anything is actually very simple. You just have to start at the lowest point possible and then slowly become better: … Continue reading Progressive Overload
How to Talk to Anyone, Leil Lowndes (Review/Summary)
I recently read How to Talk to Anyone by Leil Lowndes. To cut a long story short, I do not recommend that you read this book. I’ll explain why I think that. Each chapter is structured in roughly the same way. A bit like a TV advert for each technique. Lowndes sets the scene and … Continue reading How to Talk to Anyone, Leil Lowndes (Review/Summary)
The Charisma Myth, Olivia Fox Cabane (Review/Summary)
I recently finished re-reading The Charisma Myth by Olivia Fox Cabane and today I want to share some of its lessons with you and give you my recommendation. This book falls firmly into the practicable camp, rather than Seven Habits, which was a lot more foundational. I prefer the practical books, though, since I already … Continue reading The Charisma Myth, Olivia Fox Cabane (Review/Summary)
Your Potential
As has been noted before, the similarities between bodybuilding and Daygame are seemingly endless; I only need to go to the gym to get an idea for a blog post. Today is all about genetic potential. There’s an old Krauser post where he talks about “reveal vs restructure,” in that some guys only need to … Continue reading Your Potential
My Current Opener
Recently I put out my standard tweet asking for post ideas and Roderick was kind enough to respond. In fact, he’s going to get three posts for his efforts. The first one, today, is the opener I’m currently using, which I’ve pieced together over the years from numerous sources (check my Recommend Reading), and I’m … Continue reading My Current Opener
The Seven Habits of Highly Effective Daygamers
I just finished reading the core of The Seven Habits of Highly Effective People by Stephen Covey. In terms of whether I’d recommend reading it or not, I’d give it a five or a six out of ten. The author just rubbed me up the wrong way and I’d much rather have read a condensed … Continue reading The Seven Habits of Highly Effective Daygamers
The Wedge and the Homeless Man Principle
Today’s post is another shining example of my sick drawing skills and links back to a couple of recent posts: “Does Game Work?” and Midwest’s “Indoor Daygame Guide Review.” Have a read of those before continuing here. And here it is: my Mona Lisa. Here’s what’s going on in the drawing: the line represents the … Continue reading The Wedge and the Homeless Man Principle
