amaranth Posted September 29, 2014 Share Posted September 29, 2014 Hello all, I have known of Stefan for some time now, but not until this summer did I really delve into his works and begin to appreciate them. I surely wish that I had done so sooner, because they are really quite fantastic - especially his books, one of which (RTR) I have already read. The ideas contained therein are pretty revolutionary to put it lightly, and implementing them in my own life has brought about some serious change. I previously suffered from some rather serious panic attacks which I now realize were brought about largely due to an aversion to confront important issues in my life and relationships with others head on - these attacks are now almost entirely gone, and I have the book and the theories within to thank for it. I am working on his two other books now, and am about halfway through UPB. I figure I should mention that I agree entirely with Stef's ideas re: government, peaceful parenting, and the whole bit. I don't think I could get this far and not succumb to cognitive dissonance if I didn't, but I figured I'd throw that in there. I come here with an open mind and a humble heart, and seek to learn as much as I can. It'll certainly be a pleasure getting to know you all, and I appreciate you taking the time to read this! Respectfully yours, Alex Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks Kevin I couldn't even begin to explain how many ways it has helped me, but the idea concerning constant, real-time relaying of emotions was one of the best things I took away from the book. I had never really heard anyone give advice like that. I also took his advice and enrolled myself in therapy; I journal prolifically already, and it only made my ability to self-analyze that much more keen.
