Travel Plans for Europe

Travel Plans for Europe

I took my first tour of Europe last year (link). It was a great time … and one of the most gut wrenching experiences of my life, if not the most up to this point.

While I don’t expect to look psychological collapse in the eye again, it’s going to be a welcomed wake up call to the glory possible to me — of a massive, successful event in London England.

It’s an interesting thing to know what is possible to you, and have a show down with it — a war.

In any case, I will be doing another tour of Europe. I did this on the fly last year to promote T21C 2010. I may or may not be doing more speaking engagements this year. But travelling is a must for the short time I am in Europe. It’s been too long since I’ve seen friends of old, and it’s time I met some new ones…

World’s Greatest Under 21 Pickup Artist Speaks at The 21 Convention

World’s Greatest Under 21 Pickup Artist Speaks at The 21 Convention

If there was ever a catchy title, this is it.

World’s best under 21 pickup artist speaks at The 21 Convention 2010.

So many 21s in there it makes your head spin.

Watch now.

– Anthony Dream Johnson

ps — this guy usually talks as fast as Skyler Tanner. I swear they are related.

pps — Dodger’s 2009 speech spread around his college campus pretty hardcore via Facebook last Spring. I’m betting this one draws even more attention. Public opinion be damned.

My College Evolution

My College Evolution

This is not so much a post as it is a directory of past posts that directly and indirectly express my evolving thoughts on college. They are best viewed in the listed order.

(Orlando btw got to see me on my journey more than almost anyone last Summer. From Munich to Stockholm to Florida, he was there).

Enjoy.

And, if there are new questions about my thoughts on college, they should be posted here, not in the old posts.

– Anthony Dream Johnson

ps — Yes, I really did fail “How to Start a Business” at UCF, twice, in a row.

pps — No, I don’t ‘hate’ school by default. I do dislike anything that is stepping outside of it’s proper function and purpose though. Like government. Like school. And…

What Have You Done Today?

What Have You Done Today?

From a commenter on Clarifying “Uncertainty over Unhappiness” (link)

Anthony I think this is a story you will like to hear.

 

This happened two days ago. Me and one of my good friends (or so i thought) moved to British Columbia with his money that he had inherited from a relative (90 thousand dollars) . As far as i was concerned it was me and him alone in BC. i didn’t know anyone but him.

 

At first it was all good we had a great time and we partied it up for the first few days. Then we had to look for a place to live and do some serious things. Shit turned sour and me being the friend who had no power what so ever was in grave danger. He was not the person i thought he was, not even close!. So i sucked it up and took the abuse. I would argue and not go quietly over some of…

Clarifying “Uncertainty over Unhappiness”

Clarifying “Uncertainty over Unhappiness”

In my 2010 Stockholm speech I discussed unhappiness and uncertainty, and how I chose uncertainty over unhappiness — when it mattered most, and when I was not getting the details right (when I was screwing stuff up).

I will clarify what I mean by this today — choosing uncertainty over unhappiness.

Clarify because I see it as necessary to get my ultimate point across, because I have come to further understand the gravity of what I was saying … and because I have come to understand that this is one of the greatest gifts my best friend gave me before his death — and that this is an expression of the greatest sensation man can experience.

~~~

When James Galt II chose uncertainty over unhappiness (in regards to a work related decision if I’m not mistaken), little did he know, I think, that in the process of choosing “uncertainty”, he was choosing his own certainty.

He chose to…

The Savage Triangle

The Savage Triangle

There are a few things I disagree with Jason on. I believe the vast majority of these are disagreements in terms, and definitions there of  (knowledge)– not judgement, not basic premise.

With that said, and while there have been a number of incredible speeches given over the past few years concerning similar topics, this is the single best speech I have ever witnessed to come from the “pua community”, or any person even remotely involved in it.

This 100 minute presentation really is that good — astounding.

View the full speech here, and buy the DVD here for $19.99. If there was one Stockholm speech you were going to buy, this is it.

Want to Define a Man?

Want to Define a Man?

 

“Want to know what defines a man? Look no further than what gets him out of bed every single morning.”

 

Since July 2006, what’s gotten me out of bed every single morning, first and foremost, is The 21 Convention – my greatest achievement, and physical expression of my deepest vision of what is right in the world.

 

While other things have, at times, contributed to this act – The Dream Lounge especially — nothing has taken importance over The 21 Convention. Not even close.

 

By my judgment, this is also it’s greatest appeal.

 

Greatest appeal because a man and his focus – his purposesucceeding in the world today is becoming rarer by the day.

 

And this is something we value to the highest of degrees.

 

An outlet to admire that which is deserving of admiration.

 

This is the value people attribute to The 21 Convention when they view it as “the grass roots”, “hope for the future”,…

Dear Dream: The PUA Community? – and Its Cardinal Sins

Dear Dream: The PUA Community? – and Its Cardinal Sins

An e-mail from a reader came in today. I have removed his name for anonymity.

I’ve been a subscriber to your blog for some time now. You do a great job. I was first turned on to you by your affiliation with Drew Baye, HIT in general and the primal lifestyle.. It turns out we have strikingly similar interests.
Having successfully implemented proper exercise and nutrition into my life, I have recently shifted my focus to the other great failing of my existence: women. I am very new to the pickup community and have read The Game and some other online stuff but not much else. Respecting your opinion as I do, I was hoping you could steer me in the right direction in terms of gurus and mentors with whom I should invest in and learn from. But also, which ones to avoid! There are just so many out there. I am after training that focuses on wholistic development and teaches skills which transfer into other areas of my…
