I have read about half of Dantalion Jones' new book, The Mind Control Manual.
The Manual is broken into three sections. The first is a few pages describing different meditations. I found these meditations to be useful.
One technique I loved, was to ask yourself an empowering question. Like, "why is my life so awesome?"
The second section is on self esteem. Much of this chapter made me think of things I was taught in school and in youth group.
I left off at chapter 3 - Charisma. Charisma is a great topic and an obvious topic for people who want to start or recruit for a cult.
Start building an anti-fragile lifestyle, complete with FU Money today. These are not the views the Pravda Press would share. Be lean, nimble, free of bad debt and exceedingly competent.

Beat the Money Game and Retire Early - Part 2
Gen X and Y could (and should) mobilize and ask Congress for:
- Lowered capital gains tax.
- Cuts in frivolous spending by colleges & universities (to reduce tuition).
- Further cuts to the payroll tax.
- Reform of regulations for mutual funds (I.e. number of stocks in the fund, use of options, etc.)
- Reduction in taxes for the 401K and 403B. A significant cut would encourage people to retire, resulting in job openings.
- Enforce existing fraud laws and repeal Sarbannes Oxley.
