    s04e02 - The Artist's Way by Julia Cameron

    In this episode, Lianne Keemink and Andrew Chin discuss the book "The Artist's Way, by Julia Cameron". Among other things.. ----more---- Shownotes 30 Day Challenge Andrew's challenge was: Take one deep breath a day. He did and found that it helped with relaxation and composure. Drew's also watching/listening to the Abraham Hicks meditations.  Lianne's challenge was: Act on one whim a day. I was a bit 'challenged' by the totally normal times, but it worked well. It is very satisfying!  Next 30-day challenge for both of us: the Morning Pages from The Artist's Way!  Book of the Month  This month Drew and I discussed The Artist's Way by Julia Cameron!  It is a book published 25 years ago by Julia Cameron, who has an impressive body of work of mostly non-fiction, but also some fiction and screenplays.  It's currently 12$ on Amazon and 18€ on bol.com, but we've mainly included these links so you can read about the book: If you're able to, buy your book at the bookstore near you so we will still have bookstores in the future!  The main things Drew and I got out of The Artist's Way?  The Morning Pages: Every morning you write 3 pages in a journal, stream-of-consciousness. Chris Winfield explains it fairly well right here. Andrew and I are doing this for our 30-day challenge for the next podcast, so we can talk a little more in-depth about the actual experience.  The Artist's Date: A recommended 2-hour period dedicated to a creative project. You can find more information about that here!  Julia Cameron is a very talented writer, so we also talk about her beautiful style (which makes sense because practicing every morning with the morning pages definitely helps) and the inspiration you can find in this book for creativity in your life, in whatever shape or form most suits you!  Pop Culture Pleasures Rain on me by Lady Gaga & Ariana Grande: Drew and I are SUCKERS for a good pop song!  Never Have I Ever on Netflix: A wonderfully inclusive-but-not-just-for-the-sake-of-it show about growing up.  Booksmart on Amazon Prime Watching the Avenger Movies in order during the Totally Normal Times. Ha. Lindsay Ellis - Why is Cats? (YouTube) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=G6iqAip-ZNo John Oliver thirsty for Adam Driver (YouTube) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ui21LSf9aLc Knifes Out - Movie (go watch)   Obsessions Technically this might still be pop culture, but I talk about my deep dive in the history of the production of Star Wars movies, particularly 7,8 and 9 who seem to have made PRETTY FUCKING SEPARATELY despite the intended trilogy they were supposed to be.  Lianne's sexy Excel sheet for word count Andrew's old blog https://andrewchin.wordpress.com/ Jamie Oliver's Crispy Duck Lasagne https://www.copymethat.com/r/EK8HFNI/jamie-olivers-crispy-duck-lasagne/ Other things we discussed The book by Des Blelis is called Ik ben er (ook) nog Link to the Medium article https://medium.com/@desbz/ik-ben-er-ook-nog-hij-is-er-hoor-d203b0577616

    s03e10 - Super Attractor by Gabrielle Bernstein

    Hi, so glad you are listening to a new episode of the Self Help Hipster Podcast. The show where Lianne Keemink (The Self Help Hipster) and Andrew Chin (andrewchin.co) discuss a self-help book. This time it's Super Attractor by Gabrielle Bernstein. ----more---- SHOWNOTES 30-Day Challenges Andrew's 30 Day Challenge was getting out of bed at 08:30 and we're happy to report he succeeded! Listen to him divulge his success rate and how it worked. Lianne's 30 Day Challenge was doing something nice for someone else for 30 days, and she was very happy about doing this. Highly recommended! Book of the Month We talk about Super Attractor by Gabrielle Bernstein, Gabby's latest book. This is a book about spirituality to the Nth degree so it's gotta be your thing, but there are some very smart and interesting takes in the book. We're skeptical about manifesting as explained by most of the Law of Attraction but there is merit in some of the philosophy, and Gabby explains some of those parts well! Pop Culture Pleasures * (Andrew): Blinding Lights by the Weekend * (Lianne) Spotify Top 100 Playlists, and Rick & Morty Obsessions * (Andrew): Essential Oil Diffuser & Lulu Lemon for Men * (Lianne): Her letterbox in her office that she writes different quotes on each week Next Book The One Thing by Gary Keller !

    s03e08 - Atomic Habits by James Clear

    Lianne Keemink (The Self Help Hipster) and Andrew Chin discuss self-help books, talk about their obsessions and their pop culture pleasures. BOOK OF THE MONTH Andrew and I discuss Atomic Habits, the book by James Clear ----more---- You can buy the paperback here* for 16.99 and you can buy the Kindle version off of Amazon for 12.00$!* James Clear is an American journalist, photographer and self-help blogger. For me he falls into the same category as Leo Babauta, James Altucher and Mark Manson: all big self help bloggers who came up around the same time, talking about self-development. James Clear has really narrowed down his topic to Habit Change, and the book 'Atomic Habits' is an amalgamation of everything he's ever read and everything he's ever written on the topic. Andrew and I really like the book, it touches upon some of the most important topics in habit changing, such as: It is about small changes! Getting little bits better, one-percenting (getting 1% better each day) as we coined the term in this podcast. Identity and the way you look at yourself matters, but it's a way to get yourself into the door - not a way to completely change your life in and of itself. We get into an interesting discussion about it! If you have systems in place, it is so much easier to do things, aka create new habits. Systems can be a step 1, step 2, step 3, but als other like getting an accountability partner, making the first 5 minutes of something super easy or habit-stacking. It's about progress, not perfection Andrew said: "Find the thing you want to identify with, and then prove it to yourself." Longevity and long term commitment are important. For anything, for success, for actual change, and therefore also for habits. "Just enough victories to keep you motivated, enough mistakes to keep working hard." OBSESSIONS Lianne: My dishwasher and making air horn sounds. Oh and Poolside.fm! It is SO FUN to me for some reason. I listen to it for bits and pieces here and there because it just makes me chuckle. Andrew: His Alexander McQueen double white sneakers POP CULTURE PLEASURES (Mostly Lianne, because at this point I'm 50% pop culture) Blade Runner 2049: I watched it with Vin on Netflix and it is STUNNING. Put away your phone one evening, get some snacks and go watch it. It is awe-inspiring. GLOW: Such. A. Good. Show. Also on Netflix. Andrew asked me what I thought about 902010 (no opinion but my friend Susannah hated it) and Hobbs and Shaw: I gushed for 5 minutes. GO SEE IT! Next book: Art Matters by Neil Gaiman! Other News: As mentioned in the Podcast, we're bringing the 30 Day Challenge BACK!

    s03e07 - The Time Paradox

    Lianne Keemink (The Self Help Hipster) and Andrew Chin discuss self-help books, talk about their obsessions and their pop culture pleasures. Book of the Month Andrew and I received the book by Philip Zimbardo & John Boyd, the Time Paradox! I had a copy of a friend, but the Kindle version is 16$ on Amazon. ----more---- Philip Zimbardo is a huge name in (pop) psychology, he's best known for the Stanford Prison Experiment, and the book reads like a big parade of the biggest things that happened in psychology, somehow related to...time. It's an interesting read on human perspective on time, and it's not a very practical self-help book but inspiring you to take a look at your own attitudes towards time. You can take the surveys to check out your own attitudes on time here! "Your attitudes on time have a profound impact on your life and your world." "Whether you look for happiness in the past, present or the future, you experience happiness in the present." I mention the article I wrote about taking the long term approach where I also mention the Marshmallow experiment that's also mentioned in the book. Pop Culture Pleasures Lianne: Wine Country on Netflix (read my Dutch review on that movie here!) Lianne: Godzilla, King of the Monsters.OBSESSED. Saw it twice. Lianne: Good Omens, it's on Amazon Prime and stars David Tennant & Michael Sheen in the TV recreation of Pratchett's & Gaiman's awesome book, Good Omens. Lianne (I had a lot to share this week): The Loch. It's terrible (especially in terms of how Steve Alten writes about women) but I like it for what it is -- suspense ridden monster stuff. I love it even more when I found out the movie The Meg is based on one of his books either. Lianne & Andrew: GAME OF THRONES. Obsessions My new pair of pants. (Lianne) Essays on Game of Thrones and how it ended. (Andrew) Next book Atomic Habits by James Clear!
