"There is a store section where you can purchase, uh, eBooks, hardcover softcover versions of the book. You can even purchase personalized versions. They are also available on Amazon books. Uh, my experience with Amazon though, is they take a while to ship you out a book because they have to print it first. So quickest the and easiest, and I believe less expensive way to get it is through my website, but it's available everywhere. Perfect. Well, now we know, and, uh, definitely folks, you know, if you're watching and listening, uh, this is definitely a book that you, we all should have, you know, a copy of, because I think it will at least, you know, open up our eyes to, to different things. And maybe we can discover a little bit more about how we operate. It's almost like a, you know, a manual, you know, a guide to how we, we potentially can work and operate, you know, in a more optimum way. Exactly. And that's what I've sought out to create. I sought out to create a guide, something to not just sit there and talk at somebody with to, to actually take them on a journey with the book, to help them see things about themselves, about others, about the world around them. And many of the things that I've talked about today, I talk about in depth in the book, things like meaning, finding your, that, that way to communicate with your subconscious, changing the way that you view yourself and others. All of that is things that I talk about at length in that book. All right. Well, folks, you know, we're, we're coming to the end of the show here and Robert, as always, you deliver and you change, you know, the perception of things to a degree. And at least it opens up eyes, you know, uh, to, to a point where, you know, at least we have, sometimes you need those triggers, like, you know, just like, Ooh, it's what I needed. Yeah. We, again, and thank you for doing what you're doing because you're sharing that.

"Again, that's something I say from personal experience, the way I view the world around me 10 years ago is very different than I view the world around me today. And I view it with a much more sympathetic eye and ear. And the reason for that is not because I changed my opinion and perception of the world around me actively, it's because I changed my perception of the world inside me actively. And that changed that perception because again, everything's all in your head. The way that you view the world or the ways you view yourself is part of the way you view the world. If you don't trust yourself, you don't trust the world because you think everyone's like you, because we go around projecting our own thoughts, feelings, and beliefs on everyone else around us. It's why you see so many people that the second they encounter somebody that doesn't think like them, they lose it because you've just challenged their perception of reality. You've made them have to consider that maybe everyone isn't exactly like me. And that's hard for some people to deal with because that's our only understanding that we have of other people is ourselves. And if we do not have that understanding of ourselves, we don't have that understanding of others. And so we end up very limited in our scope of what is acceptable thinking and behavior because they're not like us. Well, that goes to that, what is normal, what is not normal, defining that. But it's amazing because when you said, you look at your world, your inner self, yourself, I think maybe we all are afraid to dig in and find out who we really are. Oh yeah. You know, it's like that expression, like life is like a chocolate, like a box of chocolate in the movie. Well, you never know what you're going to get. Well, you know, you never know what you're going to get when you dig in deeper. You will learn things surprising. You will learn things disturbing. You will learn things inspirational.

"And it is apparent how someone feels about themselves by the way that they, I use the word understand, by the way they perceive others. And that if you want to change those circumstances, you don't do it by attempting to understand other people. You do it by attempting to understand yourself. It's like that old Greek saying, the first, foremost, understand thyself. That's all you can ever do. You will never understand, as we've stated, someone else. You can understand yourself. It's hard. It takes some work, but you can begin to understand yourself because that's not always the case. I had to learn how to understand myself, how I thought, how I acted, how I believed, all of these things, when I just thought they were a given before. Of course we all understand ourselves. We're ourselves, only we don't at all. And we can learn. And the fun trick to that is as we learn, that does help us empathize with other people. It won't help us understand them, and you can't, but you can have sympathy. You can understand that you don't understand, and just use that to accept, to accept the way somebody feels, somebody thinks, somebody experiences, and allow yourself to not be so judgy about the experience of others, and by proxy, yourself. So again, it's a mirror we all hold up. You know, Robert, that is the biggest mistake I think we all make is that we never take the time to know who we are. I can speak for myself. Although I am like you, I do ask the questions like, am I bad? Am I good? What am I doing? How am I affecting people? I actually do have these discussions, but I learned to actually do that. You have to learn how to do. Is else everybody but us? We look at everybody's faults, but we never point. Although when we point at people, there's like I said, the other three or four, that expression does actually apply. We look at the others, but we never look here, and it starts from here.

"In the same way we apply our biases to the world around us, we also apply that bias to the world inside us as well. And it's changing that bias that sometimes is vital to creating effective change. Robert, you said something that ultimately it's in the book, the idea that we can never understand being in somebody else's mind except relate to them based on the set of circumstances and understandings that we have. So some of us may have better understandings based on experiences, but that's about it. To your point. No one. And this is actually true. For example, if I told you I was sick. I mean, let's take the example of COVID. A lot of people had COVID. I had COVID. I can describe what my symptoms were. I can describe the feelings, the pain, all the stuff. But it doesn't mean that it's exactly what everybody else experienced in their own way. Pain perceived is differently from everyone. Some people have different thresholds, whatever. You can relate to it like, oh, I feel your pain. You don't really. I feel your pain through a pain that I experienced. You have experienced pain prior in your life and you can use that to relate to somebody, but you can't understand it because as you said, their perception of pain is very, very, very different. The understanding of pain is very different. Physical, mental, whatever. Here's a good one for you, Robin. So I happen to have had two hidden stones over the last 20 years. And so you always hear the expression is the nearest thing to delivering a baby. But is it really? I have never experienced delivering a baby. No man has ever done that. So there is no way for us to actually... How can we even make that correlation? Exactly. But it's an expression that's randomly used. And I've heard that many times. Everyone's heard it. That's one of those kind of like universal colloquialisms we hear throughout life. So passing a stone, like having a baby. It is painful. I mean, let's say it is.

"We can control blood flow. We can create an anesthetic response. We can change the way we feel about ourselves and our behaviors simply from talking to a specific part of the mind. And that's, even as somebody that's done this for a few years, that is still just infinitely bizarre to me that we have that function in our minds that we can just talk to each other and create change, physiological change, behavioral change. So as to how much of our communication is hypnosis, I don't know. I could probably speak for a few more hours on that one, but it is a natural part of being human. We are influenced and we are influenced by and influence others to do no end of things and what is influenced, but part of the hypnotic modality, part of that strange form of advanced communication that we are all capable of. That communication that goes beyond the words that we say, because like I said, the subconscious doesn't understand language as the conscious mind does. So when you speak to somebody, yeah, you're speaking to their conscious mind with your direct words, but you are also maintaining a different level of communication. And the fun part is you don't really know what that communication is because until you've worked with somebody actively attempting to examine their associations, you'll never know. You'll never know how somebody else thinks and understands. And I think I addressed this in the book, but one of the strange things about being human that has to be accepted is you will never, ever, ever understand another human being and another human being will never, ever, ever understand you. We can sympathize. We can use our own experience to empathize with another individual, but it is literally impossible to understand how and why another person thinks because our experiences are completely unique. That same thing that makes some three different people see three different things for one situation, you'll never understand how someone got to that point. You can logically, but you can't ever think as someone else because we will only ever exist inside of our own head.

"Yeah, we've been it is the eternal question as to why we are here, why we think, why we are aware that we think. And it's so I talked about existentialism a little bit, and that's kind of the the core of my practice and how I approach things with people. And in existentialism, there's something called the existential givens. And these are the four things that every human being struggles with and not it's not necessarily all four. Sometimes it's all four, sometimes just one. But it's death, meaninglessness, isolation. And can I never get the fourth one off hand death, meaningless isolation and freedom, freedom and responsibility, because everyone thinks, oh, freedom is is the ultimate gift. Is it? Is it really the anarchy? Well, because no one comes with freedom. What does freedom even mean? It means responsibility and people avoid that people don't want responsibility. And that's one of the things that that needs to be understood approaching things from that existentialist viewpoint is that freedom and responsibility aren't necessarily positives. They are something that you view as something to struggle with, like death, like isolation, like a lack of meaning. It is something to come to terms with, something to understand. And especially in this country where we're told from the cradle to the grave that freedom is the number one greatest thing. What does that mean? What does that actually mean? It means you're in charge of your own decisions and. People struggle with that, we because a big part of us still has that child inside of our head that wants direction, that wants to have the way pointed out towards us. And when we don't have that, most of us don't. Then struggle you with it, you you kind of rail against your own freedom, and that that shows through in many fascinating ways, any reaction to any of the givens show up in fascinating ways. Some people who struggle with death take up really extreme behavior to try to come to terms with it. I've worked with people who had a severe.

"At least that's why I didn't like it. But it's that perception that that lets us see that individual experience. And it's finding that individual perception and experience, which I do talk about a bit. That becomes so vital. Why are you doing what you do? Why are you here? And that's it's kind of like that age old joke question, what's the meaning of life? And we assume that it's an unanswerable question because, again, there is no universal meaning. But that's not true. You get to pick it. You get to determine why you're here. What you're why you're doing what you're doing, what you're even doing, even. And everyone's meaning is different. I always like to ask at some point when I'm working with somebody. Why are you here? Why? What is your purpose to life? What is what are you wanting to do? What are you wanting to experience? And realizing that. Really helps some people. Helps a lot of people help me. Because once you discard the idea that. There is some universality to things that all people are united in something, but instead it is your individual purpose. You can find it that when you stop looking into the crowd, you look inside, when you look in your own head, you can find your purpose. You can find your meaning. And once you find your meaning, everything gets a little easier because that's kind of your guiding light, so to speak. It is the reason which you do something because try doing anything with no reason. It's not easy. If you try to write a book with no reason, practically impossible. And it's probably not going to be a very good book anyway. It's just going to be wandering and strange. So finding your reason, finding your meaning, be it in life or business, whatever have you. The business aspect is a big thing for for the meaning is a lot of the clients I work with business. I ask them, why do you want this? I want more money.

"And that's it for this video. Hope you enjoyed it. And if you did, please subscribe to my channel. And if you did, please subscribe to my channel. You know, we've, we had his shows on the network, but also I actually worked with him outside, uh, in my, uh, corporate, you know, side of the business. And we had him come on and do a series of programs for our teams. It was pretty interesting. You know, I think it was eight weeks from those six weeks. It was, it was, it was, it was a pretty good program and a lot of good feedback came out of that one. And it was just, you know, especially in sales, we had used that to, to kind of pump a little bit the, the, the, the minds and, and he worked. So, but, but, but today we're, we're actually going to talk about more stuff and we might just talk lightly about hypnotherapy and all that. But, but really what, what today's occasion is that Robert had the, uh, the idea and a discussion before to, to have his own book and guess what people he just did. And, uh, uh, I think the topic really is you set up a goal, you go after it and you make it happen, period and out, and you'll make your mind work towards it as, as hard as it can be. So, so Robert, first of all, congratulations on the book. And, uh, you know, um, uh, we'll ask about the name and all that stuff in a minute, but really that is an achievement. That's a milestone. And many people, um, you know, they want that that's a bucket listing. Like, you know, I, I have that on my bucket list, you know, and I, I want to do it. I, I started, you know, putting some stuff together, but we're not there yet, but, but I, I do know one thing before hopefully I depart this world. I have a book, at least one book with your name on it.

"Capitol later today. This is expected to be the final hearing as the house like committee investigating January 6th, returns for another hearing today, its first since July. One of Donald Trump's own employees had Mar-a-Lago has been cooperating with the Justice Department The Washington Post reports the employee told federal investigators that after Trump received the subpoena for the government documents back in May, the former president specifically requested the documents be moved. According to the post, security camera footage from Mar-a-Lago obtained by the FBI corroborated the employee's description of events, Loyola law university professor Laurie Levinson. Whether or not this is a smoking gun against president Trump depends not only on the fact that he was telling people to move boxes, but why he was doing that. A spokesman for the former president responded by attacking the investigators accusing the Justice Department of, quote, dangerous, political, interference. Connecticut state police say two officers were fatally shot in a third wounded, the officers were shot in Bristol and wounded officers, were reported to have serious injuries.

Well, would you take? How dare you? No, I'm serious. It's just a personal preference. Yeah. Okay. Okay, me too. Go down there. Park there. Well, the bigger the hands the smaller the unit looks at. All right, now the Hall of Fame. The Hall of Fame voting is, can I say this? Is this a word I can say on the podcast? Baseball hall. Is that what this is? Yeah, yeah. It really has messed up my mind. Just all started with the Harold baines thing. But it's happened a couple of weeks ago. The way I have what, the voting? Yeah, yeah, yeah, no, and I'm okay with Tony oliva and all that stuff. But it's the way the ballots, all the ballots come shooting and you look at all these guys, what you didn't vote for this guy. Oh, and you did vote for this guy, and he's like, you feel like, take it away from the writers. Okay? For once and for all. Because they have an axe to grind sometimes and they try to make a point, make a stand on certain things, and no. More like runners. Ben. Hey. The way this should be done. Hear me out on this. This is the way Hall of Fame voting should be done. Yeah. You qualify to be a voter by taking an online test. You take an online test to show that you know at least your ass from your elbow when it comes to baseball. Okay. Credibility tests. Credibility test. Do I deserve to have a vote? Because some of these writers, for whatever reason, don't deserve to vote, they can become one, a voter, just like the rest of the world. If you pass a test and become an MLB certified voter, what does this test consist of? Well, I'm going to give you a test. Oh boy. Okay, here we go. Because qualified fans are the people who should be in charge of their own Hall of Fame, not some because a lot of people get screwed. And we all know with the shilling deal, you know, as politics screwed them. You know, whatever, because all these writers are they're going to be liberal. They're not going to be conservative. And so here's conservative guy. He says things get everybody okay, freaked out. That's not how the vote should be. It should be the fan saying, here's a guy who deserves to be in the baseball Hall of Fame for baseball reasons. And stick to baseball. Yes. Now, here's an example of a test we would test somebody to see if they're qualified. And we'll see if Ben's qualifying, okay? Oh boy, good luck, Ben. I wish I could have come up with my own for you, but okay, go ahead. Ben, who's the all time leader in doubles. You know what I'm gonna have to Google this, 'cause I forgot. Is it Henry Aaron? I forgot. I actually forgot. I didn't write down the answers because one hell of a critic. Do you have your phone? No, I don't have Siri set up on mine. I don't know what I did with my phone. Are you serious? What the hell is you have a quiz with no answers? No, put in the Google search. All time doubles. Ben is ML going into the computer to find out what's going on. I'm going to say it's a Pete Rose. Those are your guesses, sure. Yeah. Pete Rose or Tyler. I may not get a vote. Might there be a career leaders in the double? It's speaker. There it is. High cop is fourth? Okay, here we go. Thank you. Aaron was 13. Okay, here we go. All right. Go ahead. So you're over one. Fucking some of my. So yeah, so are you? What team did pepper Martin play for? Oh, fuck you, I don't remember. I don't know. I see you're not going to get a vote in the Chicago White Sox. No. Great. St. Louis. That's what I meant to say.

Afternoon Nolan Ryan, who has the most career no hitters. As a cofax, yes? Sandy. Four of them. For whom did the babe hit his first and last home runs.

Yes, he did have 13 seasons in which he won 20 games. Was he with the same? I think you might get the vote. Warren spahn was with the Boston braves and the Milwaukee Milwaukee brave and then later on finish his career with the mets. But he's 44 at that time. Okay, and here's your final question. So far, if Ben, you get this, you get to vote, okay? Name two Hall of Famers. Okay, easy. From donora, Pennsylvania. I have no idea. Yeah, you do. They're both left handed hitters. They're both in the Hall of Fame. They're both outfielders, and they both from donora, Pennsylvania. And Ken griffey junior is one of them, and he's the second best. He's the second best player from donora Pennsylvania, and he's Ken griffey junior, who is the first best. Who's the first best? Stan. Stand the man. Oh, yeah. I know. I think Ben did all right for a youngster. Same exact hits, same exact amount of hits on the road as home. Yeah. Ben could be like a restaurant critic. He could. Yeah, he could. But no one will let him in the restaurant. No. That whole shirt and shoes thing. At least you don't need the vaccine passport. He didn't have that purple swollen pussy toe. They wouldn't ask you to wear shoes. Well, I'd just like to barefoot look. That feels good. It's a natural. You know, it's money on rubber. If Joe and Jerry will do that song by Robert Parker barefoot. That's a good song. One of these days. Yeah, but they would. I think that would be so great. Everybody get on your feet.

Santa Carolina Reserva Cabernet Sauvignon 2018 Review
"This. Is Dave cheap wine fighter dot. com. Another one. Another day. Wants from Moscow again, and it's a crazy cheap price for. Really Nice one. Let me grab the bottle so I get the name, right? Santa Carolina. Reserva? Cabinet sobbing young from Chicago States in Jakarta Valley in Chile. And, the vintages twenty eight. And it's a really really Nice Cabernet. Chilean cabinet China for me splits the difference between Bordeaux and. California has got the good right fruit of California. And its sleek and lean like Gordo and you put them together. Good. And this is a seven. Forty nine set wine. I wasn't the Internet and it's it's not an expensive wine anywhere, but it's ten to thirteen dollars elsewhere. Seven fifty for cloudy Capita Sauvignon is really crazy. Because Cabernet Sauvignon, a wine that you expect. Good. Barrel slavery. Now I don't think this one had any oak barrels. There are other ways to get the oak flavoring in. They I think they said in the tasting Meltzer had contact with. And contact with. Isn't necessarily hope bureau? But whatever they did it works it tastes really really. Really Drinks. Baba's price tag. I'm going to take a separate now. This is. No issues really good tasting very well made. Cabernet Sauvignon it's sleek. It's leaning tasty. Got A great. No the Scott got kind of a little bit of a complicated Flavor profile it's not. It's not like the hugely expensive one where there's layers but the applications. And Yeah I mean Santa Carolina. Has Been Around for one hundred, forty, five years. They know what they're doing and they were one of the video wineries it got destroyed in that two, thousand, ten earthquake. I don't recall that in Chile and they had to rebuild and they did by twenty twelve. And they took the time to invigorate wiring everything else I think last year they were delaying winery the year. So you know from the. From the ashes comes, Victorino. Deals. Another SIP. Tastes grape does not tastes like a seven fifty one again. You. Expect a certain amount of flavoring and improper. Cabernet Sauvignon. We read plans and stuff. You know that's that's open to interpretation but Cabernet. People expect a very specific thing. This delivers. And that's really nice and it's got good grades estate vineyards. They have many states from two states. And expensive winds. Estate Vineyards. Means exclusive. This just means that they had control the grapes. which is a good thing because year after year they're working with those grapes they know. What to do in good years bad years great years anything else they have experienced. So. This is a really good wine The NAME ONE MORE TIME FROM COSCO Senate Carolina's. Valley. Reserve a Cabernet Sauvignon twenty eight, hundred eighteen. I, read that James Suckling, who is the premier wine? Critic right now Robert. Parker junior is a retired nowadays, he was the king for years and. James ducklings take over that role. He gave the white ninety three points I mean. Supposedly. That's what they said on the on websites. I. Didn't actually hear it for him. Ninety three points for seven dollars ninety nine cents Cabernet Sauvignon from Chile. Is Crazy. Good. So there you go. I liked it tastes great. It just drinks well above its price tag if you like, Cabernet you WANNA everyday why it's hard to beat this one.
