Welcome to another episode of The Self Help Hipster Podcast. Where we discuss a monthly book we've read and quickly move over to our pop-culture pleasures and our obsessions. Shownotes below ----more---- INTRO  Bill O'Reilly Freakout: We'll do it live!  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vu2NK5REvWM 30 DAY CHALLENGE  We recap the Morning Pages experience, which Lianne will continue for her 30 Day Challenge. Andrew will switch to Data Tracking, which ties in with the book of the month AND our next book.  For a great Dutch read on The Artist Way that is currently sweeping the nation once more because of the 25-year anniversary of this book, check out this article by Merel (De Groene Meisjes): http://www.degroenemeisjes.nl/morning-pages-the-artists-way/ For a great English interview with Julia Cameron, the creator of the Artist's Way with Brian Koppelman: https://podcasts.apple.com/au/podcast/the-moment-with-brian-koppelman/id814550071 BOOK OF THE MONTH  Jon Acuff's book Finish: Give Yourself The Gift of Done (2017)!  Jon Acuff is an author and motivational speaker and this book is all about tackling and overcoming perfectionism so you'll keep working on the stuff you WANT to be working on. In his book, with a dry sense of humor, Jon talks about a lot of great strategies in both action and mindset to overcome the things that keep you from finishing your work and projects.  POP CULTURE PLEASURES  Ethan Fields  Meme Songs that I LOVE: https://vm.tiktok.com/ZSarn6qk/ The ABSOLUTE BOP that I am obsessed with: Watermelon Sugar But It's Blinding Lights. https://vm.tiktok.com/ZSahjbMD/ Selling Sunset: a Netflix show by the maker of the Hills about real estate agents in Los Angeles  The Boys: Very dark and gritty superhero show on Amazon Prime.  Black is King: The AMAZING visual album by Beyonce on Disney+  Tenet: Andrew saw Tenet and it's GREAT, a wonderful blockbuster.  OBSESSIONS  Andrew is obsessed with these Bamboo Hema Boxershorts:  https://www.hema.nl/heren/ondergoed/boxershorts/2-pak-herenboxers-lang-met-bamboe-groen-1000018774.html?gclid=CjwKCAjw74b7BRA_EiwAF8yHFNZyYxJ2donAgwYuwu27C89IbOoqnJq48T5K9I_hYj5_CpvHvdhMehoC7UMQAvD_BwE&gclsrc=aw.ds Lianne is obsessed with her AppleWatch (A wonderful hand-me-down from Susannah) and www.ditlustik.nl - the Birthday Gift she received from Susannah, WITH help from Andrew who built the website and created it with her!  NEXT BOOK:  168 Hours by Laura Vanderkam. Actually inspired by Susannah and perfect for Andrew who is going to do some datatracking for the upcoming episode.  See you then! 

In this episode, Lianne Keemink and Andrew Chin discuss the book "The Artist's Way, by Julia Cameron". Among other things.. ----more---- Shownotes 30 Day Challenge Andrew's challenge was: Take one deep breath a day. He did and found that it helped with relaxation and composure. Drew's also watching/listening to the Abraham Hicks meditations.  Lianne's challenge was: Act on one whim a day. I was a bit 'challenged' by the totally normal times, but it worked well. It is very satisfying!  Next 30-day challenge for both of us: the Morning Pages from The Artist's Way!  Book of the Month  This month Drew and I discussed The Artist's Way by Julia Cameron!  It is a book published 25 years ago by Julia Cameron, who has an impressive body of work of mostly non-fiction, but also some fiction and screenplays.  It's currently 12$ on Amazon and 18€ on bol.com, but we've mainly included these links so you can read about the book: If you're able to, buy your book at the bookstore near you so we will still have bookstores in the future!  The main things Drew and I got out of The Artist's Way?  The Morning Pages: Every morning you write 3 pages in a journal, stream-of-consciousness. Chris Winfield explains it fairly well right here. Andrew and I are doing this for our 30-day challenge for the next podcast, so we can talk a little more in-depth about the actual experience.  The Artist's Date: A recommended 2-hour period dedicated to a creative project. You can find more information about that here!  Julia Cameron is a very talented writer, so we also talk about her beautiful style (which makes sense because practicing every morning with the morning pages definitely helps) and the inspiration you can find in this book for creativity in your life, in whatever shape or form most suits you!  Pop Culture Pleasures Rain on me by Lady Gaga & Ariana Grande: Drew and I are SUCKERS for a good pop song!  Never Have I Ever on Netflix: A wonderfully inclusive-but-not-just-for-the-sake-of-it show about growing up.  Booksmart on Amazon Prime Watching the Avenger Movies in order during the Totally Normal Times.

Hi, so glad you are listening to a new episode of the Self Help Hipster Podcast. The show where Lianne Keemink (The Self Help Hipster) and Andrew Chin (andrewchin.co) discuss a self-help book. This time it's Super Attractor by Gabrielle Bernstein. ----more---- SHOWNOTES 30-Day Challenges Andrew's 30 Day Challenge was getting out of bed at 08:30 and we're happy to report he succeeded! Listen to him divulge his success rate and how it worked. Lianne's 30 Day Challenge was doing something nice for someone else for 30 days, and she was very happy about doing this. Highly recommended! Book of the Month We talk about Super Attractor by Gabrielle Bernstein, Gabby's latest book. This is a book about spirituality to the Nth degree so it's gotta be your thing, but there are some very smart and interesting takes in the book. We're skeptical about manifesting as explained by most of the Law of Attraction but there is merit in some of the philosophy, and Gabby explains some of those parts well! Pop Culture Pleasures * (Andrew): Blinding Lights by the Weekend * (Lianne) Spotify Top 100 Playlists, and Rick & Morty Obsessions * (Andrew): Essential Oil Diffuser & Lulu Lemon for Men * (Lianne): Her letterbox in her office that she writes different quotes on each week Next Book The One Thing by Gary Keller !

Lianne (The Self Help Hipster) and Andrew discuss the book Art Matters by Neil Gaiman. They also bring back the 30-day challenges and talk about their pop culture pleasures and their current obsessions. Sit back and hang out with us for an hour or so. We love that you are listening.

Lianne Keemink (The Self Help Hipster) and Andrew Chin discuss self-help books, talk about their obsessions and their pop culture pleasures. BOOK OF THE MONTH Andrew and I discuss Atomic Habits, the book by James Clear ----more---- You can buy the paperback here* for 16.99 and you can buy the Kindle version off of Amazon for 12.00$!* James Clear is an American journalist, photographer and self-help blogger. For me he falls into the same category as Leo Babauta, James Altucher and Mark Manson: all big self help bloggers who came up around the same time, talking about self-development. James Clear has really narrowed down his topic to Habit Change, and the book 'Atomic Habits' is an amalgamation of everything he's ever read and everything he's ever written on the topic. Andrew and I really like the book, it touches upon some of the most important topics in habit changing, such as: It is about small changes! Getting little bits better, one-percenting (getting 1% better each day) as we coined the term in this podcast. Identity and the way you look at yourself matters, but it's a way to get yourself into the door - not a way to completely change your life in and of itself. We get into an interesting discussion about it! If you have systems in place, it is so much easier to do things, aka create new habits. Systems can be a step 1, step 2, step 3, but als other like getting an accountability partner, making the first 5 minutes of something super easy or habit-stacking. It's about progress, not perfection Andrew said: "Find the thing you want to identify with, and then prove it to yourself." Longevity and long term commitment are important. For anything, for success, for actual change, and therefore also for habits. "Just enough victories to keep you motivated, enough mistakes to keep working hard." OBSESSIONS Lianne: My dishwasher and making air horn sounds. Oh and Poolside.fm! It is SO FUN to me for some reason. I listen to it for bits and pieces here and there because it just makes me chuckle. Andrew: His Alexander McQueen double white sneakers POP CULTURE PLEASURES (Mostly Lianne, because at this point I'm 50% pop culture) Blade Runner 2049: I watched it with Vin on Netflix and it is STUNNING. Put away your phone one evening, get some snacks and go watch it. It is awe-inspiring. GLOW: Such. A. Good. Show. Also on Netflix. Andrew asked me what I thought about 902010 (no opinion but my friend Susannah hated it) and Hobbs and Shaw: I gushed for 5 minutes. GO SEE IT! Next book: Art Matters by Neil Gaiman! Other News: As mentioned in the Podcast, we're bringing the 30 Day Challenge BACK!

Lianne Keemink (The Self Help Hipster) and Andrew Chin discuss self-help books, talk about their obsessions and their pop culture pleasures. Book of the Month Andrew and I received the book by Philip Zimbardo & John Boyd, the Time Paradox! I had a copy of a friend, but the Kindle version is 16$ on Amazon. ----more---- Philip Zimbardo is a huge name in (pop) psychology, he's best known for the Stanford Prison Experiment, and the book reads like a big parade of the biggest things that happened in psychology, somehow related to...time. It's an interesting read on human perspective on time, and it's not a very practical self-help book but inspiring you to take a look at your own attitudes towards time. You can take the surveys to check out your own attitudes on time here! "Your attitudes on time have a profound impact on your life and your world." "Whether you look for happiness in the past, present or the future, you experience happiness in the present." I mention the article I wrote about taking the long term approach where I also mention the Marshmallow experiment that's also mentioned in the book. Pop Culture Pleasures Lianne: Wine Country on Netflix (read my Dutch review on that movie here!) Lianne: Godzilla, King of the Monsters.OBSESSED. Saw it twice. Lianne: Good Omens, it's on Amazon Prime and stars David Tennant & Michael Sheen in the TV recreation of Pratchett's & Gaiman's awesome book, Good Omens. Lianne (I had a lot to share this week): The Loch. It's terrible (especially in terms of how Steve Alten writes about women) but I like it for what it is -- suspense ridden monster stuff. I love it even more when I found out the movie The Meg is based on one of his books either. Lianne & Andrew: GAME OF THRONES. Obsessions My new pair of pants. (Lianne) Essays on Game of Thrones and how it ended. (Andrew) Next book Atomic Habits by James Clear!

Lianne Keemink and Andrew Chin discuss the latest book by Sarah Knight - Calm the f*ck down. We also talk about our pop culture pleasures and our obsessions. In between all the madness we even find the time to eat a huge lemon meringue from Stach.

Lianne Keemink (www.theselfhelphipster.com) and Andrew Chin (www.andrewchin.co) sit down and talk about Grit, the great book on Passion and Perseverance by Angela Duckworth. They find out that Grit just might be the key to unlocking the pathway to the next stage in life where the magic happens. While they are at it, they also manage to talk about their pop culture pleasures and their current obsessions. Enjoy the show! ----more----   Shownotes  ASMR Clip  My time on BNR- where Roelof played a clip of our podcast for all the listeners out there!  Book of the Month Grit, by Angela Duckworth! You can buy the Dutch version of the book here*, and the English version here*(and it's 5 euro's cheaper).  Grit: "The passion & perseverance of long-term goals" Do you wanna do the Grit-scale? Find it here*!  You can read more about The Hard Thing Rule here.  "I've never really viewed myself as particularly talented. Where I excel is ridiculous, sickening work ethic. [...] The only thing that I see that is distinctly different about me is: I'm not afraid to die on a treadmill. I will not be outworked, period. You might have more talent than me ,you might be smarter than be, you might be sexier than me. You might be all of those things. You got it on me in nine categories. But if we get on the treadmill together, there's two things: You're getting off first, or I'm going to die. It's really that simple." - Will Smith Because Angela quotes Will Smith, I mention The Red Table with Will Smith, which you can watch it here*. Growth Mindset vs Fixed Mindset  "The one thing I want from life is that when it's over, I didn't squander the potential that I had." - Lianne  Pop Culture Pleasures Haunting of Hill House (Lianne): SUCH A GOOD SHOW.

Thanks for listening to the Self Help Hipster Podcast! In this episode Lianne Kay (The Self Help Hipster) and Andrew Chin discuss the book Do The Work by Stephen Pressfield. Spoiler alert, the book is amazing. Also, as usual, we talk about our 30-day challenges, our pop culture pleasures, and our obsessions.

Welcome back to an all-new season of the Self Help Hipster Podcast! In this episode Lianne Kay (The Self Help Hipster) and Andrew Chin discuss the book You Do You by Sarah Knight. Also, as usual, we talk about our 30-day challenges, our pop culture pleasures, and our obsessions. Let us know what you think of the show by subscribing on iTunes and giving us a review. Or just talk to us via our Instagrams! Enjoy the show.

We read TWO books! We read The Life Changing Magic of Not Giving A Fuck and Get Your Shit Together by Sarah Knight. ----more---- SHOWNOTES 30 DAY CHALLENGE LIANNE: I have been doing reiki before going to bed, which is somewhere in between an "energy healing" and a very relaxing meditation (I'm still on the fence what it actually is, I just enjoy the moment to chill and connect with myself). It's been nice. BUT. New challenge is me editing the chapters of my book, to hand in a manuscript. Exciting times. ANDREW: Too busy, but the tracking mornings is up for the next episode. There is a fresh unboxed 5-minute journal ready to be used. BOOK OF THE MONTH We read TWO books! We read The Life Changing Magic of Not Giving A Fuck and Get Your Shit Together by Sarah Knight. The ebook for Life Changing Magic of Not Giving A Fuck is only 5 euros here!* And Get Your Shit Together is also just 5 euros here!* BUY THEM. Best 10 euros you'll spend this year, because in my humble opinion these are the best self help books of 2017. Andrew (more of less) agrees, except he got more out of the previous book (the Subtle Art of Not Giving A Fuck by Mark Manson) because he already applied a lot of the stuff from Sarah's first book about not giving a fuck to his life. Get Your Shit Together however? Made him realise he wants to get more of his shit together. Our favourite aspects of The Life Changing Magic of Not Giving A Fuck is how Sarah explains you have a "Fuck Budget" and there is only so much fucks you can give about certain things. And it is okay to not give a fuck about things like meetings (Andrew) or birthday parties where you don't know anybody (Lianne). Our favourite quotes from Get Your Shit Together: "Just because you are doing a ton of shit all day, every day, does NOT mean you have your shit together. It means you are a high functioning human to-do list potentially on the verge of total mental and physical collapse." "I know so many people who complain about there finances. Who lament not being able to pay for or save for thes or that. They think of money as a lion that can't be tamed. Or worse, as a cute, fuzzy little Norway in the streets and a gremlin in the sheets. In reality, money is just a piece of paper and you are a real live human being with free will and probably two pairs of sneakers. If you're someone who says "I can't make it to payday without dipping into my savings" or "I'm always spending a little more than I should" then you're allowing money to build a prison around you and make you its bitch. What I'm saying is, don't be money's bitch." As mentioned before, buy the set. OBSESSIONS ANDREW: His van, obviously, and the idea of living in a TinyHouse on an acre of land in Sicily. I plan to visit and eat pasta. LIANNE: DIWMOTZ. The website, the book (buy it because it's cute, cheap and perfect to put in the bathroom so that when you hear people laughing, you know that they're pooping on your toilet), the people I met at the book launch. Deal with it. POP CULTURE PLEASURES LIANNE: Stranger Things S2 is AMAZING. (I spent quite a bit of the podcast explaining the concept of Stranger Things to Andrew because he's never seen any of it.) I am also really into 80's music at the moment. ANDREW: Bladerunner! Both the old and the new version. Apparently it's a go-see, because it's beautiful cinematography AND a great film. ALL TIME FAVORITE POP CULTURE PLEASURES Because it was the season finale we also talked about our ALL TIME FAVORITE honourable mentions. Bojack Horseman. A show that takes some getting used to but is so funny and smart and deep you are hooked for life. Rick.& Morty, because of this clip. Reese's Pieces, because at one point I talked about it so much. And my Dad Wrote A Porno because it hit us hard and fast at the end of the series.

Lianne Kay and Andrew Chin discuss another self-help book. This time it's The subtle art of not giving a fuck by Mark Manson. They also discuss their 30-day challenges, pop culture pleasures and obsessions. ----more---- Shownotes   30-day challenge Lianne: Reiki and continuing to do that 30-day challenge Andrew: Sleep Meditations and tracking mornings The book: Mark Manson's The subtle art of not giving a fuck   Obsessions Lianne: Pink waterkettle One fit membership Obsessions Andrew: Harewood bakery donuts   Pop culture pleasure: 6LACK Documentary of Lady Gaga   PCP Andrew: My dad wrote a porno   The next books: The life-changing magic of not giving a fuck by Sarah Knight Get your shit together by Sarah Knight       

Lianne Kay and Andrew Chin discuss another self-help book. This time it's Thrive, by Arianna Huffington. They also discuss their 30-day challenges, pop culture pleasures and obsessions.   ----more---- 30 DAY CHALLENGES ANDREW: Noticed there are certain ones that keep popping up as 30-day challenges. Next challenge? Tracking his morning, as he wants to get up a little earlier and write more. By consciously experiencing your mornings you're more likely to be able to do both! LIANNE: Did self-help exercises aplenty during the summer! Gratitude lists never fail, but also investigated limiting beliefs and self-destructive tendencies. It was very interesting and I will keep going down that road. Andrew and I are gonna make a little book with some favorite small self-help exercises, probably. BOOK OF THE MONTH Thrive by Arianne Huffington! You can get it for 7$ on Amazon* (the Kindle version is 10$) and Bol.com carries it for 11.99! Ariane Huffington is a Greek-American author of multiple books, engaged in politics as well as business, and she is one of the most influential women in media. She is co-founder and editor in-chief of the Huffington Post and is very well known as the advocate of sleep, as in this Ted-talk. Thrive is her book in which she wants you to learn how to thrive, not by working harder, longer, more efficiently, but by actively pursuing relaxation and self-care. In ‘Thrive' Arianne explains in a very matter-of-factly way in what ways you can improve your well-being, backed up by science and research at every turn. From meditation to putting away your phone and yoga, but also through giving and service. This book is very suitable for anyone who isn't into the more American gospel-type “YOU CAN DO IT” books, or who breaks out in hives as soon as someone talks about the Universe and energy. Some of Andrew and Lianne's favorite quotes: · “We may not be able to witness our own eulogy, but we're actually writing it all the time, everyday. The question is how much we're giving the eulogizer to work with. (…) The good news is that each and everyone of us still has the time to live up to the best version of our eulogy.” · “Eulogies aren't resumes.” · “It's really not so much habit breaking as habit unmaking.” · “If you want to catch little fish, you can stay in the shallow water. But if you want to catch the big fish, you've got to go deeper. Down deep, the fish are more powerful and purer. They're huge and abstract. And they're very beautiful.” · “Knock on your inner door. No other.” · Giving up drugs is easy compared to dealing with the emotions drugs protected you from.” POP CULTURE PLEASURES LIANNE: My Dad Wrote A Porno. Oh. My. God. This podcast can cure your acne, water your crops and have you laugh wherever you go. Listen to it via iTunes, aCast and follow MDWAP on Instagram. (After I talked about it in the podcast, Andrew started listening to it in the car on his way back from my place and he is now JUST AS OBSESSED.) ANDREW: Lana Del Rey's latest Album ‘Lust for Life' This new album is incredible. So beautiful. I like it just as much as I did Born To Die. Amazing. LIANNE: American Gods. Television series based on Neil Gaiman's novel ‘American Gods'. I am four episodes in and it's bloody amazing. The intro is just as good as the Game of Thrones intro (yes I said it fight me) and I LOVE the amazing story arc. OBSESSIONS LIANNE: Tony's Chocolonely's Milk & Coffee Crunch. Because Tony's Chocolonely forever. ANDREW: The movie Baby Driver. You can find the MovieBitches review I refer to here. For those interested, here are Into the Blood & I'm On Fire by John Mayer we briefly discuss! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yxq9PV9plck https://open.spotify.com/track/77Y57qRJBvkGCUw9qs0qMg NEXT BOOK The subtle art of not giving a fuck by Mark Manson!

Lianne Kay from www.theselfhelphipster.com and Andrew Chin from www.andrewchin.co discuss another self-help book. This time they discuss Reinvent yourself by the legend James Altucher. ----more---- SHOWNOTES LISTENING IN: A previous question we got was “what are the best/worst self-help books we ever read?” TLDL (too long didn't listen); Our favorites are (and will forever be) Self Development For Smart People by Steve Pavlina and Eat That Frog by Brian Tracy. One of the worst books is probably the Secret, although a) at one point in my life I did love it and b) marketing-wise that one was nuclear. Another point we make is that sometimes it's not the book, it's you. I have picked up books and threw them in a corner after a few chapters, while if I come back to it a couple of months later I actually really like it. BOOK OF THE MONTH: Reinvent Yourself by James Altucher. BUY IT, THE KINDLE VERSION IS LITERALLY 2.20$ ON AMAZON. James Altucher also has a podcast (Andrew considers it the Podcast of all podcasts!) and I love his writing style. POP CULTURE PLEASURES I refer to this quote in the chapter on Scheduling Inspiration of ‘How to be a Bawse' and relentlessly doing, reading, watching and browsing what gives you joy. Hot New Pop Tracks is Andrew & I's favorite playlist at the moment. OBSESSIONS Andrew's: In the previous episode he talked about his obsession with Urban Van Dwelling, and now he bought a van! It's gonna be the WorkLifeStudio Van and he's gonna tour with it! Mine: A weird phenomenon called “WHERE IS THE FUCKING AIRPORT” on MapCrunch. Tumblr post here. I've tried playing it and it's absolutely impossible. NEXT BOOK Radical Candor by Kim Scott. I had just received the press release for the Dutch version and Drew and I will read the original version. The Dutch version is coming, but the English one is available as an ebook for 16.00* on Bol.com but yay Amazon, yay Kindle, I got it here* for 13.79$. *Affiliate links, meaning we get 1-3% when you buy something!

SHOWNOTES Lianne Kay from www.theselfhelphipster.com and Andrew Chin from www.andrewchin.co discuss another self-help book. This time they discuss Playing Big by Tara Mohr. ----more---- LISTENER IN! Vanessa asked us the question: How can I learn to speak up without being worried I hurt people's feelings OR they think I'm stupid? Short summary of our answers: You are not serving anyone by keeping your ideas and thoughts to yourself. You have an opinion or perspective based on your observations and arguments, you can argue your point and you should. Even though feelings are irrelevant in case of constructive criticism and feedback, I know it doesn't seem that way. But you know what? Tough. You have an opinion/something to say, and you should say it. Sometimes people's feelings need to be hurt. Read Playing Big, and focus on the chapter of Unhooking from Praise & Criticism. It doesn't matter all that much what your coworkers think of you. Do your best work, receive feedback but don't be dependent on praise or criticism. The fear of being stupid is holding you back, the way it often holds me and many other people back. You're not stupid (and it doesn't matter all that much if people think you are.) Josianne asked: What is your biggest life lesson or mottos? Lianne: I don't really have one particular one, I work more in themes. Mine change depending on what period of my life I am, what I am working on, what I am devoting my energy on at that time. Right now, it's that I need to surrender to what is happening in my life, trust the pace instead of trying to race ahead. Andrew: Dance through life is a recurring one. Whenever something is scary or slippery or I am going through something, I remind myself I just need to dance through it. That way I am most myself and find my way. Do you have a question for us?

It seems like it's going to be a super cool in-depth online platform for stories on gaming. Lord knows I am only capable of point-and-click adventures and some bouts of Sims 4 obsession, but I am interested in game culture, hacker culture and other people's experiences gaming. I follow Laadscherm one of the creators and one of the writers on Twitter. Andrew: Ed Sheeran's new album, Divide! Ed Sheeran is a BOSS. I love reading up on artists that I love and you can read on his Wikipedia about how he crashed on Jamie Foxx's couch while in the US, performing. Lianne: LOOK AT HUH. The Hey Queen aftershow where drag queens have to look at pictures of fellow drag queens and comment. Pretty much all my favourite drag queens have been on. I LIVE. OBSESSIONS Andrew: Flying, because Andrew is a HUGE pilot-o-phile! Andrew: Stealth urban van camping/van dwelling. NEXT BOOK Reinvent yourself by James Altucher, who also has an amazing podcast!
