I love the places you chose to film these vids man! Makes me wanna explore the US when I move there :-)

No ways, I was JUST thinking about how to build up more positive emotions. Love the fact that your videos are always spot on for me!

P.S. I kinda miss your written articles a bit.

Man! Your speaking for the camera in the first video is fucking awesome!

And the second video is soooo fucking positiv! Love it!

Hahaha your moment with the fat dude was hilarious.

Please, please Tyler don't be making any more videos with a hot ass naked girls in the background. I CAN'T FOCUS GODAMMIT! RAS keeps telling me HOT ASS, HOT ASS, FUCK THE GINGER GUY AND WHATEVER HE IS SAYING, LOOK AT THE HOT ASS!

Kidding, epic videos.

I love it that chick (with that awesome ass) is watching you while you yell: "Eeey, blaaaaa" .
Just don't give a fuck. haha

One love

Tyler! There's a way to break from ENVIRONMENTAL HYPNOSIS easily, or we have to do each day a baby step??

Love the videos, love RSD and have the utmost respect for what you do and who you are.

I got a question for you which could be cool to get your and others' perspective on. When you're yelling on the beach, you have the full right to do what you do and no man should be afraid of asserting themselves when they want or need to. Most men are too far on the other side of the line, being too quiet and socially conditioned.

But when you assert yourself in that way towards the other people (the old geezer) on the beach, and claim their space with your presence, why should he not get up and do everything in his power to claim his own space by telling you to lower your voice or find another place to shoot if he's annoyed?

If everyone walked around asserting themselves the way you did, it literally would come down to whoever is the smartest at using a rock to claim their space. The fact that we as "social dynamics" insiders know that nothing will happen when we do it because of other peoples social conditioning, is still disrespectful to use to our own narcissistic advantages.

In this case, did you just think the message was too valuable so it was justified to claim that much space, or do you believe that everyone has a right to assert as much space as they want and then if other people have a issue with it, they should state it openly?

Just throwing it up for discussion as I can see multiple sides of it and am open to other peoples opinions.

Thanks again for the great content and have an awesome vacay!

Omg Blue bear for president , just got hypnotised by him.

jaja i dont understand why the guy complaint about it you were not really disturbing anyone! XD but thats how it is..

Dude, you are a mad man :D...

Quick question, how do you find the balance between "serving" say for a greater good if you want to become a teacher or diplomat and NOT BEING SOCIETY'S bitch. I'm really struggling with my future projections when thinking about this. I wanna give back but I don't wanna be a stifled little man either.

HALP! SOMEBODAY DARE ISS A WHALE ON DAT BEACH!! AWWOOOOGAH AWOOOOOGAH....
really enjoy the videos where random people / beached whales become a dynamic part of the scenery.
"hey shut up man!"           "FAK U" and keep talking hahah
those cut and dry idea's work well for me, any obstacles that pops up is handled simply "SHUT TEH FAK UP AND LET'S GOGOGOGO"

2nd video, can't really comprehend. i intellectually understand the positive ecosystem natural high. makes sense, i've felt it emotionally at different times. my main hang up is the idea i'm chasing something to "feel good". i like and understand the idea of surrounding myself with positive influences / activities - but sometimes i like the chaos / disorder that shows up. my definition of "positive" might be including safe... idk, apparently a lot of weird conditioning on that one. ive been trying to WANT each moment to be as it is. not that i can't change it if it needs it, but in the present, complete desire and gratitude for feeling like shit or being super happy or whatever. i don't want to get stuck in this mode of incessantly creating a positive bubble around me - it feels bland. maybe im stuck in identification with my little ego "victim" pain shit and if i let it go, well thats that....

3rd vid: awesome. it mixes well with the 1st vid. LAWDY DIS MUSIK IS LOUD. shut teh fak up and go! of course its 20x harder but, knowing the perception of the environment WILL shift EVENTUALLY if i shut up and do it enough times is sweet. Asking myself the question, "what would owning it and having fun look like right now" a bajillion times. ANSWER: STFU AND GO (think my RAS will scan for the "real" answer anyway and it will work out)

4th video: it was late afternoon, and the camera showed some chick on the ground all giddy for tyler. then it cut to a while later all dark outside. LOL even during recording sesh he pounced.  idea of exposing myself to different "elements" of game / life is the shit. really resonated. kinda flowed on one level with what i was trying to comment about the 2nd video, even though the video was about a different subject. actually this video had pieces of all the videos. that seems so obvious now. no shit all the videos are in THAT order... ahaha derp.

thanks owen, enjoy convulsing in the rain forest or whatever the fuck you do on vacation. :)

honestly, you are the father i never had.
 
thank you

Owen, the ecosystem video was brilliant! Honestly, you're one of the few guys I know who genuinely wants to see mankind grow into something better! Thanks for all the value.

ODD FUTURE WOLF GANGE KILL THEM ALL!!

Love your vids bro, keep the realness coming! We all need 2 shut the fuck up.

Wow, these videos are getting more and more profound.

Owen Tyler, great vblogs as always.  As for the Napali Coast, Hawaii is fucking amazing. I've been in the Waipio Valley before, but this seems way more exclusive and ruthless

Goddamn that beard is so cool.

 Even though the 4th video was for advanced guys, I still really liked it as a regular intermediate type dude. I feel like you explained how to go through the emotions when progressing, it's the emotions that are so key for me, trying to manage them, not let them suck me down too much, and to use positive emotions effectively. So at any level, I think dudes have to relate to others like you and julien and brad do, to learn off peers and not get stuck on a plateau for too long. 

And the hawaii beach video was amazing b/c you somehow got into the right emotional level to make your point, and it somehow hits deep in my brain, and then I look at my choices and decisions in a similar way, kinda trippy. 

I feel like the "blue bear" video may become a classic. I feel sorry for the bear, he just wants to go in and see what's going on and hang out. He doesn't seem to have too many other bear friends around. Plus, the convention center is large enough to accomodate giant bears. 

Gentlemen,

Glad to be back after a posting haitus. It's been a crazy summer here Chicago and I haven't had a moment to post (let alone keeping up with all the amazing content of the last four months).  RSD has truly stepped up its program to yet another level.

I wanted to take a minute to marinade on the "looks don't matter" principle. It's something that every one of us, as aspiring self-actualizationalists, need to accept in full at some point in our journeys.  Not only is it the truth, but it also provides a deeper realization, which is that even though there are things that we cannot change completely (the body and facial structure that we are stuck with), we don't need to be able to change them completely to achieve our goals.  That being said, there is a difference between "looks don't matter" and "working with what you got."  The latter seems to me to be the part that a lot of people struggle with.  There is a difference between being naturally short, and being overweight.  There is a difference between having a haircut that doesn't fit our face, and having an abnormally large nose.  In the case of being short or having a huge nose, you can't change that (rhinoplasty aside).  In the case of being overweight or having a bogus haircut, you have control over that. It can change.

Thus, I challenge all in the community to take a step back and assess their personal style.  It's really important.  Is that haircut you've had since N'Sync or Nirvana was popular really still working for you, if it ever did?  If you're seriously losing your hair, is it time to rock a buzz cut? (Which by the way makes you look bad ass and skinnier if you combine it with some facial hair and proper maintenance.  I just did it, and its been one of the best decisions of my 20s).  Is it time to seriously hit the gym and lose the 30 pounds you've been carrying around for too long and finally keep it off?  Is it time to throw 80% of your wardrobe away and start from scratch?  Look at Tyler in Blueprint versus the videos above.  The change is remarkable; yet, his DNA has not changed one bit.  It's the same exact person with two completely different looks, and currently, he's never looked better.  Grooming and style wise.

Deep down, yes, the inner-confidence principles that RSD teaches and stresses will be what drives your progress most, and are a must have for success.  But, how you maintain yourself, no matter what your unchangeable features, is a monumentally important component to the way women will perceive you.  As a lawyer, we have an adage that is most instructive.  It is "if you're going to ask somebody for a million dollars, you have to look like a million dollars."  It doesn't mean you have to have a million dollar watch, or an amazing Brioni suit.  It means you have to look put together and congruent, such that the parties you're dealing with believe that you know what you're talking about.

If you look put together, it will inevitably send that message.  And what do women want?  Men who have their shit together.  Looks don't matter.  Grooming and style does.

Keep it sexy,

BLife

For newbies, and everybody really, here's a fashion/grooming top 10 biggest mistakes and tips that I see separate those who have their shit together, and those who still look like their mom is dressing them/look they got dressed in the dark:

1.  It is never ever ok to wear socks with sandals.  Period.  No debate.  If you don't want to show your feet, then you can't wear sandals.  On this note, if you wear sandals, take a good look at your feet and keep your fucking toenails in check.  Get a fucking pedicure if you don't know how they should look at their best.  And oh yeah, unless you're pulling the west coast high white sock look, stay away from high white socks.  Low cut is where its at.

2.  As a general rule, brown never goes with black.  Do not wear a black shirt with brown shoes or vise versa.  It looks terrible. Same thing with khaki and black.  It doesn't work.  More about khaki below.  Furthermore, blue generally does not go with black unless blue is an accent color to black.

3.  Khaki should only be worn as shorts or as a work/church pant.  In a dress up setting, khaki typically looks best with lighter colors (baby blue, oranges, light greens), and should be worn with darker brown shoes.

4.  If you're losing your hair admit it and cut it.  Buzz cut or straight up shave.  What's more, hair loss products of all kinds are a joke and some are dangerous.  Finasteride fucks with your testosterone and can seriously fuck up your endocrine system and brain.  Also, everyone knows if you have hair replacement.  Only your confidence is increased.  Do it naturally, and let RSD tell that "there is no reason you're not enough."  Hair is one of the toughest male appearance hurdles to overcome.  Trust me.  It's worth it.  Free your mind.

5.  Keep your hands and fingernails perfect.  It's so important and I see so many people falling way short. It's the first thing you can see when you shake somebody's hand and introduce yourself.  Fingernails short, clean and shapely.  Also, regularly moisturizing your hands is huge.  It will make your touch way more inviting and soft.  Bottom line, if you're gonna put your fingers in a girls pussy, they'd better look clean and be soft.  if you're not sure what to do, get a manicure.  It's an eye opening experience.  It's also a great place to sit around talking to women.  I've closed a girl I met at the spa while getting a manicure.

6.  How clothes fit is as important as their color and designs.  If you're not in the best shape yet, you have to admit it.  Trust me, you'll look fatter in a shirt that's too small than if you got one size bigger and didn't have fat bulges.  Also, tighter pants can be good, but make sure you have mobility.  When trying on jeans, walk around, sit down in chairs, lean over, etc.  You'll find what feels good and it'll show in your comfort when you're in the field.

7.  Never ever tuck in your t-shirt. Ever. Same with polo shirts and khaki shorts. It just looks off.

8. Do not wear a t-shirt under buttoned up dress shirts and polo shirts. It looks retarded (sorry if that word offends you).  Anytime I see a fellow lawyer blantantly breaking this rule, I cringe.  If you're going to keep the dress shirt completely unbuttoned, yes, wear a shirt under it.  Also, wifebeater/undershirts are equally terrible underneath a dress shirt.  Everyone can see them, and you've instantly sucked all the coolness right out of you.  If you think you have a terrible sweating problem, then get v-neck t-shirts so nobody can see them underneath when you're top few are unbuttoned, but also know that your sweating problem will be compounded by the fact that you're wearing two layers.

9.  Wearing sport coats can look great with jeans/t-shirt or jeans/tucked in dress shirt (not polo shirt).  However, don't just take the coat from your suit.  It just doesn't fit right (it's not intended to).  Go to the store and get a specific coat for the casual look.  Try to fit it tighter and shorter than a suit coat, and keep it unbuttoned throughout the night.

10.  Short guys.  You may already know this, but horizontal stripes create the optical illusion of looking shorter.  Vertical stripes make you look taller.  Also, invest in pair of leather dress boots that have a good inch and half in the back.  You'll look demonstrative in your posture.  In fact, all of us should have a bad ass pair of boots with a lift.  Be European.  Look at Julien.

11. Finally, know the difference between sneakers and gym shoes.  If you’d wear a pair of shoes to go for a run or play sports, don't wear them for anything else.  Instead, buy a cool pair of dress sneakers.  Respect the difference.

That's all I can think of for now. Should get you on your way to a slicker style. If you're confused, pick up a GQ and or Maxim and go from there. It may feel like social conditioning, but you'll see examples of well put together outfits and be able to adapt your own style from there.

That is where I am at. I was listening to your videos and about the Miami club and how things weren't going well. You explained that quite well. I also loved how you showed the love to Eben Pagan and brought up a Tony Robbins date with destiny seminar you are doing later this year. I am requesting your thoughts and just worldly experience post seminar but, I am sure you will go there. I notice how humble you are the way you talk so highly of the other instructors. You show quite a bit of love to Julien and even go as far as to say he is better. You show how humble you are at every turn stripping away ego. Thanks for the video blogs. Beyond it being hump day, its always Tyler's video blog day. Thanks again for the insight.

Another request if you get the chance. A video blog on persevering after a break up. How you were resilient and bounced back?

Mate u did make the right choice you have changed my life not getting to mushy here but u r makin a difference
