Default Taking PD to the Extreme

Some people laugh and ridicule and some want to give him a job. I'm somewhere in the middle.

What does being a liar have to do with personal development?

I don't understand why this is considered extreme PD?

So some guy lifts a fair bit of weight, plays tennis and does karate (and if I'm to be understood he doesn't even do that). Steve didn't sleep for more than a half hour at a time for months!

Hahaha. This guy is hilarious. I loved the rosy filter on himself. I also liked how everything in there could be denied or explained away. Interesting how we didn't see his head/face when he was breaking those bricks.

Unfortunately, most of what he says isn't bad advice. It's just how he says it.

I used to know a guy a bit like that back in high school. He's still BSing, quite fun.

We cant get broadband where we live and have to put with dial-up

Neverthelesss, without watching the video, I can empathise with the posts about BS artists. I absolutely detest them. They are so obviously deluded that I find it hard to believe that people give them the air-time.

I knew a major BS artist years ago and he could lie for Scotland. What a tool.
