I can only speak for men, as I am a man, and as we’ve seen by the soaring rates of mental illness and suicide – a lot of men are fucked. Many of us grow up, for whatever reason, without a father. We then enter an education system, dominated by female teachers. We enter a culture that deems masculinity as toxic. We have no roadmap for coping, and many of us feel lost. Completely rudderless. In addition, if our father left or died, we have a huge amount of abandonment trauma to deal with – that tends to come and bite us right in the arse around our mid twenties. Traditionally, we turn to drink o ..read more

Lookers Vauxhall Ellesmere Port Car Dealership – Review

I’ve had an awful experience with lookers in Ellesmere Port. Bought a Vauxhall Grandland X 67 plate, and the oil light came on after 2 weeks. We bought a 1 year extended warranty, and the dealership said the car needs a new engine and they need to strip it to get it covered by the warranty. I suspect they were trying to kill time so that we no longer had the right to ask for a refund within 30 days of purchase. they’ve not replaced the engine, instead they’ve fixed the belt which caused the issue. The belt issue is a known problem with this engine and other manufacturers did a full recall on t ..read more

Notes from podcast and my own research – may have some inaccuracies so please listen to the podcast Dopamine Summarised Dopamine is a hormone that makes people motivated, and in a sense happy. We probably evolved to produce dopamine to make us explore and forage and hunt. Dopamine is increased with drugs like cocaine and supplements like L-tyrosine and herbs including Mucuna Pruriens.  The big problem with dopamine, tends to be for that every increase, there’s a corresponding decrease in dopamine that’s equal or sometimes greater. This is why people always want more cocaine 20 minutes after a ..read more

This video / podcast is about how to increase your willpower and tenacity. As the title suggests! Summary Tenacity & willpower might be limited resources. this is similar to “decision fatigue “. We can only make so many decisions per day (this is why Steve jobs wore the same stuff each day, he didn’t wate energy deciding what to wear). If you do one hard thing, it’s harder to maintain willpower later in the day. If you were to resist eating a plate of cookies, and then do a fitness test, it’s likely you’ll perform relatively poorly on the fitness test, because your willpower has already ..read more
