Happy 2009 from the APMID team

Happy New Year to all our readers! :)

Thanks for reading and following our blog throughout the year.

For 2009, we plan to make this blog even more exciting with quality blog posts and article series.

Specifically, we plan to continue the $100,000 Flash game experiment as far as it goes. Part 3 is on the way and at the drafting stage!
Additionally, we will focus on psychology and sociology topics such as influencing people, social dynamics, leadership, seduction, and body language. Perhaps we also dare to take a critical look on spiritual topics!

If you would like to see any article series about APMID topics, let us know in the comments! We’re more than happy for input.

Our partner site, stiffgoat.com, is also wishing all the best.

Book Review: The Way of the Superior Man [Deida]

I’m a strong atheist and scientist and therefore I am totally suspicious of anything which looks or sounds like religion or “spiritual fluff”. In that regard, it’s a wonder I even touched a book with a subtitle such as “A Spiritual Guide to Mastering the Challenges of Women, Work, and Sexual Desire”. But anyway, being able to look into different topics than your usual ones is what allows you to grow. So today, we will review David Deida’s The Way of the Superior Man.

What is really your purpose in life? How do you find it? How do you keep a healthy relationship with the woman you decided to spend more time with? How can you satisfy her properly over a longer period of time?
Deida managed to write a book consisting of many small (1-3 pages) advices around men’s most important topics: career, women, sex drive, self actualisation. While some are too extreme or woo-woo to be followed, there’s many hints and thoughts which are worth thinking about.

Team Dynamics with Steve Zissou

History has known many famous teams. Be it Pierre and Marie Curie who changed physics almost 100 years ago, a bunch of daredevil friends who shared cigarettes in the trenches of the great wars of the last century (while maybe later going together to Norway to blow up Nazi bunkers), the A-Team who helped those in need of help while being chased by the military police, up to present day football teams like the FC Barcelona, gangs of corporate lawyer vultures and adventurers like Team Zissou from “The Life Aquatic”, which I will use as an example throughout this article.

Whenever we see a team that works well we might wish to be a part of it, as they seem to be combining a bunch of very positive virtues: a common goal, determination, fun at the workplace and effectivity.
