You've made the promise before. This time will be different. And then it happened again. The boredom, the stress, the loneliness, the late-night scroll. Before your conscious mind even knew what was happening, you were back. And the shame came rushing in, heavier than the time before. You closed the screen. You felt the familiar emptiness. And the same voice whispered the same question: What is wrong with me? Let me answer that voice, once and for all. Nothing is wrong with you. You are not broken. You are not weak. You are not alone. Millions of people are caught in this exact same loop tonight, trying to find their way out and not knowing how. What you've been doing, using willpower to fight a pattern your brain runs automatically, was never going to work. Not because you weren't strong enough. Because you were using the wrong tool. There is a different way. A quieter way. A way that doesn't ask you to white-knuckle through every urge or hate yourself for every slip. A way that works with your mind instead of against it. For the next four hours, you will not be lectured. You will not be shamed. You will be guided gently into the deep, receptive state where real change actually happens. And in that state, 200 carefully crafted affirmations will begin to do quiet work beneath your conscious awareness. Rewiring. Releasing. Restoring. You don't have to believe in it. You don't have to try hard. You just have to listen. One day, sooner than you think, you'll notice the urges grow quieter. The pull weaker. You'll wake up one morning and realize that this thing that once ran your life no longer does. Your time. Your focus. Your energy. Your self-respect. All of it, returning to you, breath by breath. The man you were meant to be is still in there. This program is here to help you find him again. Press play. Take a breath. Let it begin. You are not broken. You never were. Welcome home.Voir livre
Hunter Stockton Thompson (July 18, 1937 - February 20, 2005) was an American journalist and author who founded the gonzo journalism movement, a style in which the writer becomes a central figure and participant in the events of the narrative. He rose to prominence with the publication of Hell's Angels (1967) and Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas (1972). The following is from a 1975 interview on gonzo journalism.Voir livre
In 1862 Anna Leonowens accepted an offer made by the Siamese consul in Singapore, Tan Kim Ching, to teach the wives and children of Mongkut, king of Siam. The king wished to give his 39 wives and concubines and 82 children a modern Western education on scientific secular lines, which earlier missionaries’ wives had not provided. Leonowens sent her daughter Avis to school in England, and took her son Louis with her to Bangkok. She succeeded Dan Beach Bradley, an American missionary, as teacher to the Siamese court. Leonowens served at court until 1867, a period of nearly six years, first as a teacher and later as language secretary for the king. Although her position carried great respect and even a degree of political influence, she did not find the terms and conditions of her employment to her satisfaction, and came to be regarded by the king himself as a rather difficult woman. In 1868 Leonowens was on leave for her health in England and had been negotiating a return to the court on better terms when Mongkut fell ill and died. The king mentioned Leonowens and her son in his will, though they did not receive the legacy. The new monarch, fifteen-year-old Chulalongkorn, who succeeded his father, wrote Leonowens a warm letter of thanks for her services. By 1869 Leonowens was in New York, and began contributing travel articles to a Boston journal, Atlantic Monthly, including ‘The Favorite of the Harem’, reviewed by the New York Times as ‘an Eastern love story, having apparently a strong basis of truth’. She expanded her articles into two volumes of memoirs, beginning with The English Governess at the Siamese Court (1870), which earned her immediate fame but also brought charges of sensationalism. In her writing she casts a critical eye over court life; the account is not always a flattering one, and has become the subject of controversy in Thailand; she has also been accused of exaggerating her influence with the king.
