a computer, and everything is fully deserved. Any misfortune, any problem, any limitation in your life – you deserve it a thousand percent out of a thousand. On the one hand, you’re not living too badly. Everything seems fine, you can read my books, you’re still alive, still breathing – that’s one way to look at it. But on the other hand, you’re not among the world’s super-successful people either. And the question is – why? That’s my question – why? Because you’ve had all the opportunities, but you don’t use them. You don’t unlock your full human potential. And now you might say to me, “But Alexandr, are you saying we should live modestly?” And who told you that being flashy automatically equals success? No, being flashy and being successful are not the same thing – that’s where you’re mistaken. That’s just you once again refusing to think, numbed by social media. You don’t even want to consider that there are millions of different paths, millions of cities in the world, yet you keep stomping around in the same little corner, in the same manure pile. And you think that’s the whole world – but it’s not.
And intentions matter too. Imagine, you could easily say that you read my books just as a kind of spa for your soul, as a simple pastime, something to do in your free time.

And you – you prefer to sit alone with a notebook, read what I write, and take notes. Of course, this is the most reasonable way to think about it. But imagine – probably only 30% of you truly have that kind of sincere intention, where that is the real reason you read my books. The remaining 70% are reading for a different reason. And the most interesting part? The biggest reason most of you are reading my books is fear. In second place – egoism. Fear and egoism. A large percentage of you – your main reason for being here – is fear. You are afraid to live, afraid to die, afraid of yourselves, afraid for your loved ones, afraid of everything. You are looking for something to hold onto, something that psychologically comforts you, something that makes you feel like everything will be okay. But you are scared. And this fear has been with you since birth, long before my books. I have nothing to do with it. But your fears led you to esotericism, in a way. Still, it’s fear – fear as a means of survival. Subconsciously, that’s what’s happening. In second place, the true hidden motive for why you read my books
