1) DELUSIONS OF GRANDEUR

A person who overestimates his own abilities, talents, or stature in a particular situation is said to have delusions of grandeur. The people around him will claim that he has lost touch with reality. What I find so interesting is that whenever I hear the word “grandeur” used, it’s always preceded by the words “delusions of.” What happens if this person actually succeeds with their plans? Maybe this is why society will call a poor person crazy but if that same person is wealthy, they are called eccentric. When the day arrives that you find yourself in a hot-tub orgy with 3 amazing young women, I want you to pause for just long enough to throw your hands up in the air and say, “Grandeur bitches!”

2) DELUSIONS OF OPTIMISM

Optimists tend to think their fate is entirely in their own hands. They believe that skill and hard work will invariably lead to success. This is a delusion, but it’s a useful one. It means they are eager to start the game, persistent in the face of obstacles, and resilient in the face of defeat. This article takes a journey into how overconfidence is critical to success.

3) WHAT’S MORE DIFFICULT?

It’s hard to keep working toward something that may never happen, but it’s even harder to give up when it’s everything you want.

That’s it for now… Go make it happen!

1) GETTING ON THE JUICE

I may not be one for New Year’s resolutions, but I am addicted to self-improvement. No, I’m not talking about steroids. I’m talking about fresh, raw, organic vegetable juice. I started juicing last month and now I’m addicted to it. As if you didn’t already know, one of the best things you can do for a healthy body is to stop eating artificial flavors, colors, and preservatives, and start eating vegetables… lots of vegetables. The quickest and most effective way to eat more vegetables is to load them into a juicer. It wouldn’t be easy to eat eight full-sized tomatoes at once, but when I load them into my juicer, I can drink all that nutrition inside of 10 seconds. Something most people don’t know about vegetables is that if they get too cold (from freezing), too hot (from cooking), or old (they must be fresh), the nutritional value escapes very quickly. As an example, when you boil vegetables in a pot, you boil all the nutrition right out of them. You’d be better off drinking the water left in the pot. You can get a decent juicer for about $100 from your local Walmart, Kmart, or shopping mall. Just remember, when you buy vegetables for it, buy only organic!

2) WHY MEN AND WOMEN CAN’T BE FRIENDS (VIDEO)

Answering the age-old question, young independent filmmakers Jesse Budd and Patrick Romero set out to simply prove a point.

3) TWO VIRGINS’ AWKWARD KISS (VIDEO)

This is why “saving yourself for marriage” is such a bad idea. Like any physical activity, it takes practice to get good at it. This is what it looks like when two people with zero practice try it for the first time together.

http://www.ebaumsworld.com/video/watch/82056199

4) ALCOHOL AS A PLACEBO

If you’ve been reading my books, you already know that the most powerful force in the universe is the belief that something is true. This article takes an interesting look at the placebo effect of alcohol. People tend to act the way they believe something will make them act.

http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/magazine-15265317

5) INHALING SULFUR HEXAFLUORIDE (VIDEO)

I just had to include this in the newsletter simply because it’s the funniest thing I’ve seen in the last 30 days.

http://www.ebaumsworld.com/video/watch/82065888

6) SOMEBODY NEEDS TO PAY FOR ALL MY CHILDREN (VIDEO)

This is the story of a homeless lady with 15 kids who’s demanding that somebody (anyone other than her) pay for all her children’s expenses including food, shelter, and clothing. It proves that, in fact, some people are beyond help.

This is why you need martial arts. Situations like this turn from tragic to comical.

Drawk Kwast

On the trip home after Thanksgiving dinner, she comforts herself with the delusion that finding a guy will be easy because, unlike in the past, this time she’s really going to try. As soon as she gets home, however, she enters her dark, empty, and lonely apartment and instantly feels the same way inside.

As Christmas gets closer, all she can think about is getting asked that painful question again, “So, when are you going to find a nice guy?” Her biggest problem isn’t her lack of meeting someone, it’s the fact that Norman, the dorky guy in Accounting, won’t leave her alone. This is when she starts downgrading her expectations, as she cries out loud, “Dear god, just give me a normal guy and I’ll be happy.” But it doesn’t happen.

During Christmas, her grandmother says, “You know, I may not live to see next Christmas, but I want to see you happily married before I die.” The pressure to find a man has become ridiculous.

She tells herself that New Year’s Eve is going to be her lucky night to meet a guy. At the strike of midnight, she is alone as she watches other happy couples make out. Right then and there, she makes her New Year’s resolution: She is going to find a man no matter what it takes! On January 1st, with a slight hangover, she’s at the gym putting in an extra 30 minutes on the StairMaster.

She goes all out – new haircut, new clothes, and a strict zero-carb diet. At this point, she’s acting a little crazy, partially because she’s desperate and partially because all the exercise without eating has left her brain without enough calories to think straight. Her mission is simple: She will NOT be alone for Valentine’s Day.

Six weeks later, she spends Valentine’s Day with her cat. She looks great from all the working out and dieting over the past six weeks, but her self-confidence is a negative number. Now, she would even settle for Norman from Accounting, but he hooked up with the new secretary during the company’s New Year’s party, so he’s not even available anymore. Oh well, spring isn’t that far away, and that’s a time for new beginnings, right?

Gentlemen, there are a lot of desperate women out there this time of year. I want you to capitalize on this fact, and this is your plan of attack:

1) You will spend the time between Thanksgiving and New Year’s Eve going out in public and talking with every woman who will listen to you. Everyone is friendlier during the holidays, so this becomes an easy task. You’re going to need the practice for Step 2 of the plan.

2) Find three large public New Year’s events, close together, that you can attend. It’s better if you don’t know anyone there because your plan is simple: You will use your new chatting skills to make a woman smile and get her phone number before leaving for the next party. Your goal is to get three phone numbers during the night. If the woman asks why you have to leave all of a sudden, tell her you just got a text message from a long lost friend and you’re going to join his party. If she asks if she can come with you, take her directly home for sex.

3) Meet as many of these women as you can for coffee, and see each of them two more times before February 1st. If you get lucky, that’s nine dates, which is awesome. On February 4th, pick your favorite woman and ask her out for Valentine’s Day. If she says no, you have two backups.

4) Send me an email on February 15th telling me how incredible the sex was.

One last thing… If your response to reading the above plan is, “But I don’t know how to talk to women,” you probably haven’t read all my books yet. In that case, give yourself an early Christmas gift and buy the three books listed at: www.drawkkwast.com/products

1) WARREN BUFFETT’S 5-MINUTE PLAN TO FIX THE DEFICIT

Although Warren Buffett is only half serious as he gives his 30 second explanation on how to fix the national deficit, he is also 100% correct. The true mark of brilliance is powerful simplicity.

http://www.cnbc.com/id/43670783/Warren_Buffett_s_5_Minute_Plan_to_Fix_the_Deficit

2) THE BOYCOTT OF BIG BANKS

On October 23rd, 2011 I did a podcast on the Occupy Wall Street movement. One of the solutions my guests and I talked about was a systematic removal of public money from the big banks. On November 5th, that’s exactly what the public did. The below article talks about the results of November 5th, and to my amazement, shows data that people had already started to move their money away from big banks. More and more money is getting moved to the small local banks and credit unions.

3) WHO SAYS MONEY CAN’T BUY HAPPINESS?

This article on the ING Blog points out two of the most important factors to consider when buying happiness. The first is that money in the bank isn’t unused and shouldn’t be thought of as available to spend. You’re far better off to consider it already spent on buying peace of mind. The second is when you do spend personal money, spend it on experiences, not things. Buying stuff tends to be anti-climactic, but spending money on a great experience is a lasting joy.

4) CUPCAKES ARE ADDICTIVE, LIKE COCAINE

This article points out a growing body of medical research at leading universities and government laboratories that shows sugar to be addictive just like a drug. These strange findings are as interesting as they are disturbing.

1) ABOUT THIS MONTH’S NEWSLETTER

In this month’s newsletter, I’ve chosen to cover some intellectually heavy topics. Included this month are three videos that are each at least an hour long. I want you to know that I understand how valuable your time is, and I strongly urge you to watch all three of these over the next 30 days. This type of information can be pivotal to the success of your life.

2) SUGAR – THE BITTER TRUTH (VIDEO)

I’ve talked to you before about the dangers of high-fructose corn syrup and how this food additive can single-handedly ruin your life. The presenter in this video really knows his stuff. This is the most accurate and most complete presentation I’ve seen on this topic. About half of the way through the presentation, he goes into some chemistry on the subject, so this means you’ll probably only watch the first half unless you have studied bio-chemistry. Know that the first half is amazingly valuable in itself. If you have studied bio-chemistry, be prepared to be fascinated by understanding the toxicity of high-fructose corn syrup.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dBnniua6-oM

3) COLLAPSE OF THE MIDDLE CLASS EXPLAINED (VIDEO)

This video caught my attention because of the fantastic amount of research that was put into it. It very simply explains how the financial model that the modern family operates under is nothing more than an equation for failure. Understanding these concepts will make you rethink your entire life plan.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=akVL7QY0S8A

4) DANGERS OF STEADY GROWTH (VIDEO)

This video is titled “The Most IMPORTANT Video You’ll Ever See,” which may be a bit of an oversell, but I agree that the concepts presented are very important. This is on my “top 20 things you need to understand about the economy” list. It uses some college level mathematical models to explain some shocking truths that most advanced business people don’t even know exist. If you understand math, do yourself a favor and watch this. Note that this video was uploaded to YouTube in eight parts, so be sure you watch all eight videos in the playlist.

5) TEN COMMANDMENTS OF THE AMERICAN RELIGION

James Altucher (Freakonomics) points out how the fundamental ideas that Americans hold dear are ruining the country. He firmly believes that “going to college is the worst sin you can force your kids to commit, that you should never vote again, and that you should never own a home” – and explains why. I completely agree with him.

http://www.freakonomics.com/2011/09/28/the-ten-commandments-of-the-american-religion

6) RELATIVITY OF WRONG

Isaac Asimov eloquently explains one of the things that “normal people” do to drive people of higher intelligence insane. He also explains how schools push memorization rather than learning, which is interesting considering that they all think they are focused on learning. This is just a great article on the progression of knowledge.

http://hermiene.net/essays-trans/relativity_of_wrong.html

7) EVERY JOB REQUIRES AN ENTREPRENEUR

Charles Schwab writes an open letter to our political system explaining what really needs to be done to fix our economy. Chuckey knows what he is talking about!

1) EXCITEMENT: PATH TO A BETTER LIFE

Are you guilty of telling yourself that you’re happier than most people? If this describes you, you’re probably asking, “How could this be a bad thing?” Stop comparing yourself to others for a moment, and ask yourself one simple question: Do you believe that you are living up to your potential and enjoying life to its fullest, or is there a little voice inside of you saying that you want more? On October 8, you have the opportunity to join like-minded guys in Las Vegas as they embark on a journey toward a lifestyle most men only dream about. Click on the link below to reserve your spot for the Excitement: Path to a Better Life seminar. It’s time to turn on the excitement.

2) KEN ROBINSON – SCHOOLS KILL CREATIVITY (VIDEO)

Have you ever wondered about the link between being a successful entrepreneur and being a college dropout? Why is it that so many of the world’s pioneering thinkers have trouble in school and, in many cases, drop out? In this twenty-minute video, Sir Ken Robinson makes an entertaining and profoundly moving case that our current educational system undermines creativity and pushes college degrees that each year are becoming increasingly worthless.

http://www.ted.com/talks/ken_robinson_says_schools_kill_creativity.html

3) PENN JILLETTE – HOW POLITICS IS LIKE MAGIC

I was stunned to see the Wall Street Journal actually publish an article completely slamming the U.S. political system in this way. In “How Politics Is Like Magic,” my fellow Las Vegas resident Penn Jillette talks about some painful truths that most Americans don’t want to see.

http://online.wsj.com/article/SB10001424053111903285704576560482965329702.html

4) ONE IN FOUR PEOPLE ARE BORN UNFAITHFUL

It’s called the DRD4 gene, and scientists have found that its presence greatly increases the odds of cheating on a partner. They say that when a man or woman with this gene has an affair, he or she receives the same chemical rush as a gambler whose luck has changed or an alcoholic savoring a drink.

http://www.dailymail.co.uk/sciencetech/article-1334932/The-love-cheat-gene-One-born-unfaithful-claim-scientists.html

5) WHO SAYS SCIENCE HAS NOTHING TO SAY ABOUT MORALITY? (VIDEO)

One of the things that drives us atheists crazy is the backward thinking that religious people have about morality. Religious people tend to think that without a god, humans couldn’t have a concept of morality, so there must be a god. In this video, Sam Harris and Richard Dawkins spend an hour and twenty minutes explaining the concept of morality from an evolutionary perspective.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Mm2Jrr0tRXk

6) EVOLUTION MADE SIMPLE – MUTATION (VIDEO)

Dr. Yan has a quick and entertaining way of demonstrating how mutation, generation after generation, gave us so many different species.

Imagine for a moment that one of these children grows up and finds himself in a life or death situation such as being mugged.

Now, I’ve been a martial artist for many years, and what piece of advice would I give to a person about to be mugged? Would it be, “Just do the best you can,” or something else?

If I tell him to just do the best he can, the question becomes, “What point of reference can he use to determine the ‘best he can’?” Where does he pull this point of reference from, if he has never been mugged before? Maybe the closest experience with physical confrontation he has had is a fight with his younger sister when he was 7 years old. That kind of “best” would certainly not suffice in a mugging situation. He has no idea what his best is in this situation, because he has never experienced this situation before.

So what advice would I give to this person about to be mugged? I would tell him, “Kill or die trying.” Only then would he discover what he is capable of, and only then would he actually “do his best.” He either survives by killing his attacker or dies trying. If he survives, we would know he did the best he could. If he dies trying, we know that he either didn’t do his best or that he did his best and it wasn’t good enough. And both equate to the same result of him being dead.

While I have used an extreme example to make my point, I argue that this concept holds true in any area of real adult life, whether or not it’s a life or death situation. Consider for a moment what happens with someone’s landlord if he doesn’t pay his rent. He can tell his landlord that he tried his best to get a job to come up with the rent money, but no matter how hard he tried, he will eventually be evicted.

The idea of a person doing the best he can loosely translates into this: “Do it up until the point it becomes uncomfortable and then give up. You can then feel OK because you tried.” The problem is that this then becomes a reference point for everything that he will do in the future. His mantra becomes, “Do things until they become difficult, give up, and then feel OK about giving up.”

This is not the recipe for a successful life. The recipe for a successful life sounds more like, “Do it, and keep on doing it until you either win or die trying.”

  2) ADDICTIVE PERSONALITY? YOU MIGHT BE A LEADER
  3) TOTAL EXPERIENCE IMMERSION – UPDATED
  4) EVERYTHING I DO IS WRONG – GOT DISCUSSION?

1) LEARNED HELPLESSNESS (VIDEO)

This video uses a class of high school students to demonstrate a psychological concept known as “learned helplessness.” It shows how quickly people can be conditioned to believe they have no control over their current situation, resulting in their acting helpless in future situations.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gFmFOmprTt0

The following Wikipedia page offers a more in-depth look at this concept:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Learned_helplessness

2) ADDICTIVE PERSONALITY? YOU MIGHT BE A LEADER

It turns out that the psychological profile of a compelling leader (think of tech pioneers like Jeff Bezos, Larry Ellison, and Steve Jobs) is also that of the compulsive risk taker, someone with a high degree of novelty-seeking behavior. In short, what we seek in leaders is often the same kind of personality traits that are found in addicts, whether they are dependent on gambling, alcohol, sex, or drugs.

http://www.nytimes.com/2011/07/24/opinion/sunday/24addicts.html

3) TOTAL EXPERIENCE IMMERSION – UPDATED

My Total Experience Immersion program takes men from normal to superhuman in 60 days. If you are wondering exactly how I accomplish that, you may want to have a look at the all new Total Experience Immersion page on my website. It’s been completely rewritten and expanded to include information about the science and medical procedures I use. You will also find CPT-4 procedure codes that you can download to find out what parts of the program will be covered by your medical insurance provider. More information is available on the following webpage:

http://www.drawkkwast.com/tei/

4) EVERYTHING I DO IS WRONG – GOT DISCUSSION?

In last month’s newsletter, I told you about the “Everything I Do Is Wrong” campaign, which made fun of how women go insane once a month with PMS. The campaign’s solution was that men should buy milk for their women, which the campaign claimed would calm the women back to something closely resembling sanity. As I predicted, it pissed off a bunch of people.

Simply brilliant marketing. Half of the people responded with “How dare they make fun of that! That’s sexist!” The other half of the people (like me) just laughed their asses off. Either way, everyone was telling their friends about it.

What disappointed me was what they did with the “all publicity is good publicity” they received. They took down all the advertisements and replaced the website. When you go to the old website at:

http://everythingidoiswrong.org

You will be redirected to the new website at:

http://gotdiscussion.org

A friend of mine voiced his disappointment in an email to me by saying, “I guess the ad guys at the Milk Council ended up being just like the dudes in their ad …whipped bitches… everything they do is wrong.” I couldn’t have said it better myself. You can go to the following webpage to see some of the absolutely hilarious ads they pulled down.
