#1

The best way to avoid making a mistake is to understand what makes you tick and why you choose certain women. Without this knowledge, you are the most uncertain variable in your romantic life.

#2

The task of self-mastery is to create order out of the chaos within. We are all born with insecurities and needs, and we eventually learn to deal with them. People tend to find partners who soothe their deepest insecurities.

#3

Mike and Sarah were a power couple with the world at their feet. They had run a successful bookkeeping business together for three years by the time I met them. But their shop was not necessarily happy. Sarah was a humorless taskmaster prone to angry outbursts, and Mike was constantly apologizing for her anger.

#4

The brain likes it when we receive random rewards, which is why people keep slot machines running. When we win, we get a rush of dopamine, and we keep going back for more. That was the case with Sarah and Mike, who became an insecurity slot machine for each other.

#5

The mind is a separate entity that can drive you crazy with its own thoughts. You don’t have to listen to them, and you can draw conclusions that are based on logic instead of your own insecurities.

#6

The brain is in the business of immediate gratification. It evolved in environments where resources were scarce and life was tenuous, and it learned to act quickly and voraciously if there was a chance to gorge on fat, sugar, or sex.

#7

Core beliefs are the foundation of our behavior, and they will often show up in our behaviors before they appear in our conscious thoughts. We must constantly be on the lookout for them, and work backward to identify the first signs of errant decision-making.

#8

Core beliefs are the foundation of your mind’s protection system. They are the things your mind expects you to do, and the things you expect yourself to do. They are the things that drive your behavior, and they are difficult to change. But they can be changed.

#9

Our relationships can be an echo of our parents even when we think we are doing things differently than them. Our fathers were teaching us about women even when they weren’t using words.

#10

parentification is when a child is expected to fulfill a parental role within the family. It can be instrumental in nature, like requiring children to provide actual care of siblings or adults. It can also be emotional in nature, like when a child is responsible for maintaining calmness in the house.

#11

The father-son relationship is especially important for teaching sons how to manage conflict, as fathers are typically the ones who train their sons how to deal with difficult situations. fathers also teach their sons about trust, as they model this by being present and consistent.

#12

To avoid making the same mistakes your father made, you should surround yourself with men you want to emulate. The easiest way to do this is to join networking groups, church groups, dojos, or wherever men congregate.

#13

The mind has a tendency to play a numbers game: happiness be damned, how much discomfort can I avoid. success involves discomfort be damned, how many healthy and inspiring people can I surround myself with.

#14

The brain’s natural inclination is to prioritize short-term comfort over long-term commitment, but you can avoid a world of hurt by following a simple strategy that flips that logic on its head. Instead of prioritizing goodness of fit over attractiveness, do the opposite.
