Lifehack or Lose Out in Life: Introduction to the 3rd edition of my memoir & lifehacking manifesto, "How to Be Cross Eyed"

Published 7 months ago

Description

You’ve been sold sweet lies by the mainstream personal growth pop culture. That you should “just be yourself.” That you should “go with the flow” of life more. That you can “manifest” the life you want via positive thinking. That you should “be kind to yourself” no matter what. That obsessive self-improvement feeds an inherent psychological defect somewhere in the murky depths of your being. That you should do less to get what you want. These lies are comforting, and perhaps they work for some people. But not for me, and they probably won’t help you.

You must lifehack relentlessly. You need the underground, unconventional, barely legal, ride-the-ethical-edge shortcuts to what you want. If you’re not occasionally called a “control freak,” you’re underestimating the amount of agency you need to bring to bear in life. And when you’re called that, just do what I do: smirk.

You need to bring sharper tools to the project of architecting a beautiful life.
