Perspective is everything, especially when it comes to examining your beliefs. Are you a soldier, prone to defending your viewpoint at all costs — or a scout, spurred by curiosity? Julia Galef examines the motivations behind these two mindsets and how they shape the way …
Alpha:n The alpha is the individual in the community with the highest rank.
We all know someone who has a natural magnetism. Someone who walks into a room and people look. Someone who speaks and people listen. Someone who was born to lead. Or maybe that someone is you?
Alphas are very important in our society. Every group needs a leader to take charge in a crisis, set the tone, call the shots and set the standards. Typically the alpha, or leader of a group is the most ____ in a group. If it’s on an athletic team, they are the most athletic. In business it can be the most senior person. In dating it can be the most attractive person.
Alphas have a very specific set of nonverbal behaviors that signify to others in the group and to the outside world that they are the top dog.
1. Typically leaders smile less
Smiling is a subordinate behavior. Women smile more to please others and are therefore less often the alpha. If you are in a powerful room, smile purposefully.
2. Alphas interrupt
They speak and expect others to listen. Notice if a leader in your life interrupts you and then politely correct them with something like “I can’t get a word in with you!”
3. Trick question!
Alphas hold eye contact when they are speaking but look away when others speak to them. This is a very rude behavior and take note if you do this to others. If someone does it to you stop talking until they look back at you.
4. Leaders stand still
Leaders have less movement as they are observers, others move around them. People should try not to fidget, pace and hop if they want to be perceived as more powerful and in control.
5. Leaders keep their head very still
Nodding is a sign of submission. You can nod to show agreeableness but be aware of head bobbing!
A Guide to the Good Life: The Ancient Art of Stoic Joy
One of the great fears many of us face is that despite all our effort and striving, we will discover at the end that we have wasted our life. In A Guide to the Good Life, William B. Irvine plumbs the wisdom of Stoic philosophy, one of the most popular and successful schools of thought in ancient Rome, and shows how its insight and advice are still remarkably applicable to modern lives.
In A Guide to the Good Life, Irvine offers a refreshing presentation of Stoicism, showing how this ancient philosophy can still direct us toward a better life. Using the psychological insights and the practical techniques of the Stoics, Irvine offers a roadmap for anyone seeking to avoid the feelings of chronic dissatisfaction that plague so many of us. Irvine looks at various Stoic techniques for attaining tranquility and shows how to put these techniques to work in our own life. As he does so, he describes his own experiences practicing Stoicism and offers valuable first-hand advice for anyone wishing to live better by following in the footsteps of these ancient philosophers. Readers learn how to minimize worry, how to let go of the past and focus our efforts on the things we can control, and how to deal with insults, grief, old age, and the distracting temptations of fame and fortune. We learn from Marcus Aurelius the importance of prizing only things of true value, and from Epictetus we learn how to be more content with what we have.
Finally, A Guide to the Good Life shows readers how to become thoughtful observers of their own life. If we watch ourselves as we go about our daily business and later reflect on what we saw, we can better identify the sources of distress and eventually avoid that pain in our life. By doing this, the Stoics thought, we can hope to attain a truly joyful life.
‘Move your body, move your mind, move to your success.’ — Lak Loi.

Tap into your ultimate potential
Align yourself towards your personal liberation and self-actualisation
Achieve your personal success goals
Allow Loi to guide you on a nine-stage self-mastery journey, focussing on a different area of development in each chapter.

This exciting expedition will help you create a state of aliveness and fluidity that allows you to get on top of your game, control your own life and soar to success.
As Bruce Lee said, ‘Self-conquest is the greatest of victories. Mighty is he who conquers himself.’
Sifu Lak Loi is a true White Collar Warrior. He worked as a senior consultant both in the City of London and in Wall Street from 1997 before deciding to follow his own path to Self-Mastery.
‘Preserve and promote Bruce Lee’s martial art and philosophy of Jeet Kune Do, to help define and teach the core curriculum — not to confine us, but to liberate us — and to discover our personal expression of Bruce’s martial art and philosophy.’
His personal mission statement is:
‘My chief definite purpose is to educate, inspire and empower people, so that they can live life to its truest potential… so they can align themselves towards their personal liberation, self-actualisation and achieve their personal success goals.’
Loi uses Bruce Lee’s teachings, fused with his personal development and elite fitness coaching credentials, as well as pioneering Dynamic Framing and Dynamic Anchoring mind-reprogramming technologies, to cultivate people’s lives both mentally and physically through his process of Experientialism.
Loi also holds a Bachelor of Science (Honours) degree in Computer Science/Software Engineering from the University of Birmingham, and is a fully qualified NLP practitioner and an instructor in hypnotherapy. He is also an associate of the Napoleon Hill Foundation (America’s largest personal development organisation, founded by Dr Napoleon Hill, the bestselling author of Think and Grow Rich), having created their first ever iOS application called Success Movie (available on the App Store).
Superheroes exist. They live among us. They put on their capes everyday. In offices, in labs, on the sports track, in garages. Creating, designing, educating, entertaining, informing – making a true difference. To a true hero, every detail matters, every second is important, every inch counts. They lead by example driven by their own targets. They are the ones that will not conform, willing to face challenges and to set out on journeys to uncertain endings. Yet, they do not know how to give up. And once they succeed – because like any true hero they always succeed – change is created.
THE DAUGHTER OF BRUCE LEE, Shannon chairs the board of directors of the Bruce Lee Foundation, a 501c3 public charity, whose global mission is to inspire confidence and motivate action through the message of Bruce Lee. Additionally, Shannon is the sole owner of Bruce Lee Enterprises, the exclusive owner of all commercial merchandising and allied rights relating to the use of Bruce Lee’s name, image, attributes, marks, logos and works worldwide. Shannon’s efforts to keep her father’s legacy of self-cultivation, personal liberation and a relentless pursuit of excellence alive stems from a deep belief in the message and the inspiration that is her father, Bruce Lee. #BRUCELEE
