CRP Patreon Exclusive: “More Stress, More Strength”

Listening to CRP stresses my brain!! lol

That's the fundamental tragedy of human life. That one must embrace the pain to lead a the good life.

Remember the brain is a muscle and it needs stress to become stronger just like every other muscle

Philip Rieff wrote a lot about this in "Freud: The Mind of the Moralist" and "Triumph of the Therapeutic". Freud understood the mind as a war between Id, Ego, Superego and external reality. There is no such thing as "progress" ("Civilization and Its Discontents") -- the best we can do is try to manage this war and achieve zero sum. Rieff argues that Freud helped create the West's obsession with the "Therapeutic". It's the exact opposite of CRP's video (which I agree with): we do everything to further well-being, even if that means avoiding the stress necessary for growth and achievement. It's one of the reasons why the education system is such shit.

The key is to control stress and emotions. Constant, chronic stress is very unhealthy and can literally kill you in a long run.

But too much chronic emotional stress can increase cortisol and impact your health. Still need to manage that and balance it.

Great video

Are you saying that living Life on Easy Mode is bad for us in the long run? Weak Men causes Hard Times. Hard Times cause Strong Men. Strong Men causes Good Times.

Thanks Coach, needed this

I’m pretty sure you shaved it off but regardless the beard looks great here coach. The least ugly I’ve ever seen you ❤️

What if you are not easily stressed?

Coach, you consider the emotional and physical aspects as separate entities but in fact they go hand in hand. One’s stress will effect the other. An example: too much emotional stress can lead to higher blood pressure which can lead in the long run to an heart attack. I get your point though. 👍

Thanks Brennan but I did it to myself. I had the means to pay but out of spite I didn’t. Why did this happen ? I fucked crazy lol. Let it get to me. Up to me now to find my way back.

I have a suggestion for another video that plays off of this one. That is why or why not to obtain woman either sexually or just as company when your shits not together. I’m a prime example. I’m debt, living at my parents 30 with a four year old daughter. I want to find someone but I know deep down I’m not there or even a catch atm.

Sorry to hear that. Child Support is a nightmare.

So a little disappointed with this one, not for lack of trying or topic. Maybe I’m just still missing your old content. I’ve been excited for new videos. Stress!! Your right tho it makes us stronger. I’m 10k in child support debt but have a plan to be even by next year.

Steven Decker

Yes, I'll do one. Thanks for the suggestion, Brennan! CRP

Coach please do a video on Child Support. Many guys aren’t aware of how devastating it is financially. Cheers
