Owen CookHOST
I promise you that you're dealing with this, we all are.
Owen CookHOST
And so another solution to this lateral thinking is just generally waking up.
Owen CookHOST
And if you actually apply the process, and the knowledge that I'm gonna show you in this video about how to wake up, the ability to think creatively, the ability to make more money, the ability to have more social success, the ability to be happier, the ability to wake up is gonna be right in the palm of your hands.
Owen CookHOST
If you actually use what it is that I'm showing you here, your life is gonna change dramatically.
11 MINS LATER
Owen CookHOST
Somebody like Ray Dalio has respect because he built something for himself first.
Owen CookHOST
So you can be aware of what's coming, but the extent that you make yourself strong first, that's when you can have an impact on these kinds of things.
Owen CookHOST
So one of the last skills that I'm gonna be teaching you this evening, and then we'll go out, is the idea that, Lateral thinking is such a powerful, powerful tool.
Owen CookHOST
And in socializing, when you're out there, lateral thinking is really everything, but that is actually a teaching and jump off point to lateral thinking that can help you maybe when you hit into your 50s and 60s and 70s, maybe you're a leader in politics, maybe you're a leader in global affairs or whatever that is, this can prepare you for that now.
Owen CookHOST
if you were being slowly poison dripped by people who want to exploit you so that you get to a point that you're too dumb, lazy, and unmotivated to stop them from completely overrunning you and exploiting you in every way possible? Well, in my view, that's actually what's happening.
Owen CookHOST
And I can simply see this by walking down the street and seeing that the average person lacks sustained focus, lacks lateral thinking, lacks any kind of adherence to a higher value to where they would not simply sell themselves out, and really doesn't have the motivation to stop society from becoming a complete train wreck.
Owen CookHOST
Now, as you're hearing this, I can promise you that you're thinking, that's not me.
Owen CookHOST
I wouldn't let that happen.
Owen CookHOST
You've gotta handle extended focus.
Owen CookHOST
You've also gotta handle centeredness.
Owen CookHOST
The other one is lateral thinking.
Owen CookHOST
I'm gonna be real with you.
Owen CookHOST
Everything's trying to put you in a trance.
Owen CookHOST
On the other side of this trance, what you're gonna see is incredible lateral thinking.
Owen CookHOST
You're gonna see yourself able to be creative and come up with things on the fly.
Owen CookHOST
Look, I learned a lot of this stuff from back in the day.
Owen CookHOST
But what I realized later is you can't always have the perfect thing to say.
Owen CookHOST
You've gotta get lateral.
Owen CookHOST
You've gotta have lateral thinking, think outside the box, be able to be spontaneous, have spontaneous responses and so on and so forth.
Owen CookHOST
So I had to learn how to free associate.
