If you want some tips for studying, perhaps taking a 15-minute break once an hour will help, if you don't already. Also, whatever you study ~15 min before sleep will be what is best retained, so make sure you do your final Essential Points Review before going to bed, maybe when you're doing automatic stuff like brushing your teeth or washing your face. And if you're allowed to chew gum or have mints/tic-tacs/candies during tests, you could try to associate a class and study sort with a flavour and smell. Helps some people with recall. Hope this helps!

Have you guys heard of the Mind Palace memory technique - for studying?

nope

Yes

Its where you imagine a palace in your mind and you place things that you want to remember in different rooms.

Self Improvement book reccomendations?

Not really, they dont work

Focus on reading classical lit.

Go for, healthy diet, nofap, exercise and developing sound political ideas

Pretty much any western author is a good place to start.

Depending on your reading comprehension level, you may want to start with novelists and work your way to philosophy.

Orwell and Huxley are really good, and important authors to read.

Then to Nietzshe, Decartes, Bertrand Russel, Aquinas, etc....

Also, though he's not technically western, Solzhenitsyn is really important as well, specifically Gulag Archipilago.

Also, important psychology works as well, Freud(Though he missed the mark on a few things, still very enlightening), Jung, Neumann, Becker etc..

How to Win Friends and Influence People by Dale Carnegie. Sometimes known as 'The Art of the Violenly Unstoppable Doormat.'

Yeah, Carnegie is great as well.

That is a decent self-help book. The only good one I know.

Oh, I forgot Dostoevsky.

Any study in Philisophy should start with Plato or the Pre-Socratics.

Yeah, they count as western for sure.

You know what, here's one of my bookshelves. Anything on here is good to start.

Should be high enough res to read titles.

Is that yours??

Yes.

Wow, thats how I want my walls to look like 😄

I like these covers

>The Great Works of The Western World.

Shit nigga

That is goodl

It's a set bought with a really nice, but old, leather bound britanica encyclopedia. The encyclopedia is long gotten rid of due to obsolescence. They were several thousand dollars all together. Was probably 2 decades ago now.

Ah man, I will get similar ones

Focus is kinda shit on my fucked up iPhone. I'll take a new one tomorrow after I get my Note8.

Along with some others probably.

Gotta say, I recently started taking cold showers, and I think I'm additcted (not literally). It feels fantastic and I highly recommend it to anyone.

Also prevents dry scalp^^

I prefer starting my showers cold and finishing with warmth 🤷🏻 I don't get as clean in the cold

I find warm showers at first helps get the oil and dirt out, opens the pores, and then cold shower closes em up again, so warm while washing and a cold finish is 👌
