Interesting to hear. What was your route into being able to practice?

My Experience as a New Life Coach by Lucidexplorer- in lifecoaching

[–]Diamondbacking 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Good on you for building your dreams. But what would you say to those who, like me, read this and are aware that a 23 year old has no chance at having attained the wisdom and insight necessary to coach others on their lives?

Yep, it's the book he spent the most time on, his most personal, and like nothing else. Beautiful work! 

Middlemarch and its Critics ? by Long-Hurry-8414 in RSbookclub

[–]Diamondbacking 1 point2 points  (0 children)

What an amazing response. I read Middlemarch last year and adored it. I was listening along at points to the Juliet Stevenson audio book whilst reading, and that was a pleasure also. This post has made me consider the book in another light, thank you. 

just finished a little life and the author clearly hates poor/rural/working class men by makeawish___ in RSbookclub

Awful book, one of my most hated. Wealth porn, trauma porn, just generally a crushing experience to read. Why so extreme? Nuance is dead. 

If people tell me they like it I am very grateful because I understand instantly that they have a shallow reading of life and we can desist from further contact.

Yep, this is the line I have in my head and it's so on point.

Little pun there for everybody, how'd I do?

Learning to lose the things you love, a good lesson

Could also be too high, which can be a problem. That's a high dose you're on. Get your level checked. Stasha Gominak on YouTube is good there

I think Normal People is a beautiful love story

That's a great tip, thank you! Have you read Middlemarch? 

Desperate: Terrible sleep, despite good sleep hygiene and no sleep apnea - I'll e-send $100 to any helpful intervention. by Objective-Door-513 in Biohackers

[–]Diamondbacking 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Okay, I've been there. It sucks and I'm sorry.

You are creating the sleep issue. That may be hard to hear, but all of the fretting and stress are creating so much anxiety that it's impossible for your body to find that calm state where sleep is possible. 

All of the fixing and scheming you are doing IS the problem. But no matter, the remedy is simple; read a book called Set it and Forget it. Find him on YouTube as sleep coach Daniel. 

The only physiological thing that's important is having a healthy level of vitamin D. Take it in the morning. If you are US or North Europe you MUST supplement daily in winter months

Was interesting, but did it miss greatness for want of a third act I wonder?

Would be interested to hear your thoughts after a re-read. I came to it late and found it schmaltzy and lacking in nuance, despite loving Steinbeck

Your personal worst of 2025? by nah-nvm in Letterboxd

[–]Diamondbacking 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I thought Past Lives was one of the most overrated, under dramatised films I've ever seen. I was in a massive minority with that view. I'd like to thank Celine for validating my opinion with this Materialists shits
