>>19962755I read some in University until I realized it was just a bunch of hopium and the only way to improve was by creating habits etc. But one I read on psychology and influencing people actually helped, it's a pretty famous one but just the ideas of body language etc. changed a lot for me. Book of Five Rings, the biggest takeaway for me was that he said once you go on the defensive you are leaning towards defeat. Most successful people never go on the defensive and just keep attacking. The only good defense is actually baiting, or setting uo your offense, a la Mayweather cheesing all those wins being a 'defensive' boxer. When the scandal with Vince started, he didn't play D, he appeared on Smackdown the next show and it worked. But other factors took him out of action.
>>19962760Smarks who criticize it don't often realize how much it actually worked to divorce himself from other wrestling because the reality is that he took his dad's company and added Memphis, Florida, ECW, etc. to it overtime and even got all those guys to work for him and do creative, commentary, train his roster, etc. from Lawler, to Dusty, Heyman and Cornette, etc. then other places like Patterson, Pritchard, Hayes, etc. All his people were from said 'wrestling' but he convinced people he wasn't one of them or using their ideas. All his top guys from the past fee decades were brought up by those people, and all the match styles and stips and angles etc. are from them as well.
