Below is a periodically updated on-growing list of contrarian actions that receive the opposite results of what most people do and receive in life.

“Do what others don’t, and you’ll live like others won’t”





EASY CHOICES

Most people want to pursue the easy choices in life – the paths of least resistance

When you pursue the path of least resistance it leads to negative outcomes

Examples :

– Eating fast food is easy, but it extremely unhealthy for you
– Playing video games is easy, but it distracts you from getting ahead in life
– Watching junk entertainment is easy, but it keeps you sedentary a lazy

Easy choices lead to a long term hard life

Where as doing the opposite – pursuing hard choices – they lead to a long term easy life

“Easy choices = hard life VS. Hard choices = easy life”





PURSUING PAIN

Most people want to pursue comfort, but comfort makes you weak and susceptible

Whereas when you pursue  the opposite – when you pursue pain, discomfort, struggle and other types of difficulties in life, it makes you stronger, more confident, and more capable





SITTING

Most people spend most of their day sitting – but as published in many science outlets – sitting is being considered “the new smoking”

Humans were designed to spend most of their time standing or walking – if not then we start to deteriorate





SUN EXPOSURE

Most people think that the sun is going to give you cancer and lather on sunscreen

They then lather onto their skin (the most exposed and absorbent organ of our body) a sunscreen cream that is packed full of chemicals… and think that THE SUN is the cause of skin cancer

Where as, here in this book, and even the research from Andrew Huberman, reveals that sun exposure, something human have lived with since existence, is not only needed but necessary for our health and proper function as humans






TASTY FOOD

Most people when they eat something tasty they say “this tastes so good” – there’s a big difference between something that is good for you VS something that is just tasty

Everyone loves sugar, greasy, fried, pre-processed, pre-made, quick & easy “tasty food”

These are the same foods that create the most health complications and diseases – so are they good ?

No one wants to cut out all the junk and only eat wholesome foods and ingredients that come naturally from the earth

Yet those same people who eat a diet that mostly consists of the high processed tasty Frankenstein-foods are the same ones who can’t seem to figure out why their health is in decline in many different areas – inflammation, diabetes, overweight, skin problems, cancer, depression, anxiety, etc. etc.

Whereas those who do the opposite, those who eat a “non-tasty” GOOD FOOD – very clean, natural, non-GMO, healthy, organic, wholesome, directly from the earth non chemical diet – those people seem to be mostly fine and rid of health problems …

“Let food be thy medicine”





DEODORANT

Most people use a scented deodorant or wash with scented soaps underneath their armpits because they don’t want to have smelly armpits

They are using products that are packed full of chemicals under their arms where the bacteria of their sweat mixes with the chemicals they used from a product designed to “get rid of smell”, which then creates a bad smell…

Where as if you use a natural product that does not have any chemicals like this soap and this deodorant, there are no chemicals for the bacteria of your sweat to interact with and so no smell is created – if you’re still experiencing a smell, then it’s other reasons that are creating the smell like eating too much junk food (you are what you eat)

APPROACHING WOMEN

Most men believe that the best way to meet a girl is to go to all the same locations as everyone else – online dating sites or apps, bars / clubs / parties, or other dating hotspots.

These men are putting themselves in the same environment where they are having to compete with every other man who is attempting to do the same as they are.

Where as when you do the opposite, and you go to locations where there is no competition and that doesn’t typically involve dating, not only do you stand out more but your interaction is more genuine.

Places like books stores & coffee shops, shopping malls, or outdoor pedestrian areas – Nobody is striking up a conversation with a woman in these locations – giving you the advantage of being different, novel, and standing out from the crowd.







SENSITIZATION

Most people (unaware) focus on desensitizing – They add more in

More sugar

More entertainment

More stimulation

As a result their huger for desire only grows and become more unsatisfied

They need to keep adding in so they can be happy

Whereas with the opposite – When we (intentionally) sensitize – when we remove more

Less sugar

Less entertainment

Less stimulation

As a result our satisfaction is amplified by receiving so little.

We hardly need anything to receive an overwhelming amount of beauty from life 






CORRECT VS. NOT WRONG ACTIONS

As discussed in more detail by Derek Sivers’ book – How To Live

Most people think that success mean doing “the correct actions.”

When actually, doing the opposite is what more often produces success.

Success is widely achieve by NOT doing the WRONG actions.

The more we can avoid doing the wrong actions, the more successful our life will be.

You could be doing “all the correction actions”, but if you do one thing wrong that’s a big enough wrong action, then it can ruin everything you did right.

How much of our lives involve us doing wrong actions ?

There’s a lot within our life that is keeping us from our greater success

Locating the wrong actions that are keeping you suppressed, avoid doing them, and watch your lifestyle results turn into success.
