The left side also includes working out, having positivity posters, and a cup that says Rise And Grind.

The right could include a Doordash logo and a hot goth girl.

Left side is also people that haven’t achieved anything, but swear “I’m working on something big bro. I’m making moves.”

Right side is every sales organization with people pulling 200k a year while ignoring all of their actual lives and then dying off early.

It all just looks like hustler-flavored consumerism to me.

The folks washing down their adderall with huel and reviewing their ring stats on one screen while they're checking their crypto speculations on the other is non-negligible.

I mean yeah.

Where does one get the hot goth girl that increases productivity?

Self improvement is masturbation. Now self destruction…

The left side is the lifestyles people sell to you in a futile effort to ‘beat the grind set’ required by “line goes up, forever” capitalism.

The right side is min-maxing your output to actualize your rewards in that system, at the cost of your lifespan.

The only winning move is not to play.

I am gonna be honest. Atomic Habits and the like helped me immensely recover my life outside the work. I don't have lotsa energy, and I have no motivation whatsoever. It was always like that. But these shitass books, well, more excerpts from them actually helped me to get back some of my life. After that, I managed to start working on my mental health.

What I am going for is - don't bash something only because it's being sold. :( These are just tools.

I felt the Fight Club line was pretty clearly tongue i n cheek, but to be clear - I have nothing wrong with self improvement for yourself, with organic rationale.

The grindset lifestyle is super toxic though, and the wellness influencers are just yogis reskinned imo.

[–] Anticorp@lemmy.world 2 points 7 months ago

The right side looks like one hell of a fun night to me.

I got gifted the Atomic habits book a few years back. Unfortunately one of the habits I don't have yet is reading. Still haven't started it.

[–] zarkanian@sh.itjust.works 4 points 7 months ago (1 children)

Simply take the book off the shelf every day.

There. You've just learned atomic habits.

[–] figjam@midwest.social 3 points 7 months ago

Its easy, just do it.

Something about Huberman rubs me the wrong way. I get the same "snake oil salesman" vibe from him I get off the rest of the alt-right toxic masculinity crowd.

[–] rayquetzalcoatl@lemmy.world 3 points 7 months ago

Didn't he get embroiled in some sort of scandal like three years ago because he was dating multiple women who all thought they were exclusive?

[–] HootinNHollerin@slrpnk.net 2 points 7 months ago* (last edited 7 months ago)

Yea same he popped up in my YouTube feed and after one video I said don’t recommend channel. Felt that way

[–] DavidGarcia@feddit.nl 11 points 7 months ago (1 children)

and then there's the esoteric semen retention pinealglandmaxxing axis. we don't talk about that axis

[–] GrammarPolice@lemmy.world 5 points 7 months ago

I've interacted with people who practice and preach this philosophy. I still wonder why natural selection allows for their existence 🤦

[–] Churbleyimyam@lemm.ee 11 points 7 months ago

All I can see in the picture are hobbies.

[–] omgitsaheadcrab@sh.itjust.works 10 points 7 months ago (3 children)

What is that ring on the left?

[–] HootinNHollerin@slrpnk.net 21 points 7 months ago (1 children)

They crammed a smart watch into a ring, likely using the tools on the right

[–] Lileath@lemmy.blahaj.zone 4 points 7 months ago (2 children)

Wait, that's not an electronic cock ring? I am pretty sure I saw one looking really similar.

[–] HootinNHollerin@slrpnk.net 6 points 7 months ago* (last edited 7 months ago)

Google iCock Pro 13 for more info

Looks like one of those smart rings, maybe a galaxy ring or something?

[–] qevlarr@lemmy.world 8 points 7 months ago
[–] niktemadur@lemmy.world 7 points 7 months ago

The right side looks an awful lot like Mad Men.

[–] Vespair@lemm.ee 4 points 7 months ago

Tangential, but Notion is an excellent tool for organizing a D&D campaign.

I have not ever used Notion for anything career or life productive, but boy is it ever my favorite D&D organizing tool

[–] benni@lemmy.world 3 points 7 months ago

How dare you put my healthy morning run next to these bullshit scams!
