I assume it's because our major U.S. press is owned by a handful of guys who are close friends, one of whom also owns the retailer

Karl Bode @karlbode.com · 1d

twice a year the entire U.S. press becomes a marketing extension of a single billionaire-owned retailer, and nobody in any position of editorial power thinks it's weird or gross

btw are you calling reps? will attend protests?

my audiobooks/ebooks used by 7,000 people are free if you did or will do 2 hours of volunteering, those count no proof needed

not trying to sell here, gifting it to help people who help people

GetYourselfToDoThings.com ➡️ Gumroad ➡️ "I Will Volunteer"

3 photos in circles with testimonials (woman, guy outside, man with beard): "I love it! Honestly. Listening to it I think gives you a good kick! I like to listen to it while I walk or during my workout."
-Martina Natale

"Chris' book Self-Command changed the way I do tasks (work related or otherwise). It's a simple and powerful tool that anyone can make use of. It's been the only system I've stuck to for several years without deviation... this changed my level of productivity so profoundly that I feel it would be selfish not to share."
-Brian Nielsen (LinkedIn post)

"I was a person who would sit and internally debate about what I need to do next. Then it would turn into hours of me thinking about working/completing task and not actually doing them... by applying Chris' method I have been dramatically more productive. But most importantly I now enjoy my downtime without the stress/anxiety of something needing to be done."
-BaronJ67.

Photo of a guy around age 30 with curly hair. Text: "Chris DeLeon's 'Self-Command' is both necessary and sobering for any frustrated and creative person in the post-internet era, where resources are infinitely growing yet attention spans shrink to near-zero. DeLeon's book is unique in the world of self-help, showing a rare empathy as he acknowledges the very real pitfalls people face and offers pragmatic guidance despite our seasonal slumps. My first listen with 'Self-Command' marked a significant turning point, helping me become more robust and achieve my academic and professional goals. Routine re-listenings of the book keep me steadfast."
-Hamza "Hums" Sehavdic

Photo of a guy with a camera from a distance, face blocked by his camera on tripod, outdoors, text: "One of the things I loved in Self-Doubt is the importance of getting your work out there. If you don't publish your work, you will not benefit from it, and the public who you can help will also not be benefitting from it. It helped me finish a book that I've been working on since 2019."
-Rodrigo Bonzerr Lopez.

Photo of woman with guitar, purple lighting. Testimonial: I do a lot of things. It’s a natural part of being a musician. I teach around 30 students a week, compose for games, implement audio, gig on the weekends, play video games, play Magic, visit family, have fun with friends. All of this is kept together by an eternally under-construction schedule. However, putting events on calendars and writing to-do lists for the day or the week, always made it seem like I was living on the next item.
If I made a list of things and then assigned an order, it always felt like I was second-guessing my priority assessment every time I glanced at the list. “What if this takes too much time?“, “should I have done the other thing first?” And so on. This inevitably lead to multi-tasking unrelated tasks, getting things halfway done or, even worse, getting a burst of focus and inspiration at inconvenient times where I had to stop. It seemed like total focus was a happy accident.
When I saw the summary for ‘Get Yourself To Do Things’ [bundle combining Self-Command and Self-Doubt] I thought it could offer a solution to the multi-tasking problem I had. As of page 46 of 206, it has helped far more than I imagined."
-Dannyellis Meléndez.

text: title I will volunteer option.
Confident you'll benefit from this material, but not in a position at this time to afford the purchase?

This entire program is also available, at no direct cost, through a unique arrangement: the "I Will Volunteer" option. How this works is simple: you can receive all the material, free, simply by agreeing to spend a minimum of 2 hours on specifically helping other people within the next year, or fairly recently did.

That's it.

It's fully up to you when, how, or where to do this. Also left to your judgment is what "counts."

Guest speak at a public school. Run a workshop activity at a shelter. Organize a donations drive. Assist a non-profit with fundraising. Serve at a food kitchen. Participate in an important protest. Call and write representatives to support the USPS.

This is not required to be through a formal organization, and I'm not asking for any receipts or proof. Do this on your own in whatever way works for you.

Worried or feeling unsure as to whether you'll be able to get yourself to follow through on this? Fortunately, that's literally what this material exists to address. Apply techniques from this content to search out and pick a way to help others, use the same techniques to sort out timing or other logistics, and to get yourself to do it.

If and when it works, you'll be more ready to get yourself to do this--and the many other things--you mean to do.

Maybe you're worried, you might feel saddled with guilt, if it begins to feel those two hours are overbearing pressure and don't look likely to happen.

Well, I don't want that for you, either. In combination with that money-back guarantee below, if you choose to use this no-cost volunteering option, but it is not working well for you, consider yourself off the hook - can think of it as a refund on the volunteering promise. So if it does work, and helps you do it, then do it. Otherwise, no harm in having given it a shot, and nothing owed.

Captain America comic quote with frog emoji edited poorly over the superhero's face, few paragraph speech bubbles: Doesn't matter what the press says. Doesn't matter what the politicians or the mobs say. Doesn't matter if the whole country decides that something wrong is something right.

This nation was founded on one principle above all else: The requirement that we stand up for what we believe, no matter the odds or the consequences. When the mob and the press and the whole world tell you to move, your job is to plant yourself like a tree beside the river of truth, and tell the whole world -- "No, YOU move."

Trump (1) reveals he doesn't know what habeas corpus is and (2) punts to Noem, who famously revealed her own ignorance at a Senate hearing when she defined habeas corpus as "a constitutional right that the president has to be able to remove people from this country."
