Dopamine is the reward, goals are the quests, and the challenges are what make it all worth it (if you've learned and practiced the necessary skills). In this video, you'll understand how to turn your life into an enjoyable game by combatting anxiety and boredom.

Just from the Thumbnail, sound design and animation in the first 10 seconds, you already know this is a going to be a certified classic.

Please continue to post astonishing, life-changing content, of whatever length suits the message you’re articulating. What many don’t understand is how dense your material is. Most YouTubers need to be played at 2x speed. You need to be slowed down, not because you rush, but because my brain has become accustomed to low density. Well done.

Retirement took a toll on my finances, but with my involvement in the digital market, $47, 000 weekly returns has been life changing. AWESOME GOD❤️

2 minutes in, and I love this video already. Made my first $60 from selling my first e-book called Mindset Mastery, and I'm grateful for this because it came from your teachings.

Im gonna continuously push on, build the right connections, and get this book to 10, 000 sales +

Thank you, Dan
God bless ❤️

I feel like this is similar to Joseph Campbell's Hero's Journey. But it is even more refined.

Mostly people want to look at a few things in a hero's journey. Acquiring something, escaping something or from someone, getting back something which is lost. It quickly throws you into a state of flow. Which also is in line with Blair Warren's forbidden rules to persuasion where he tells you that you cannot put a finger when a person gets immersed into a movie. You can never know the exact moment. This is pure gold. Thank you so much Dan

Before I watch this video I want to say THANK YOU! Because after watching your videos and subscribing to your channel for the last few months I started to apply what you were teaching to my YouTube channel and this week I finally reached 100k subscribers and my views are great! Thanks dude! And now I’ll be watching this video 🎉

[francisbaranski]

I started making money online out of my passions, because of your videos, Dan! You were silent for a few weeks and I knew you were preparing a banger.

Thank you, Dan, for your entirety of work!

[christian-iikc]

The visual of that video is art, the music is beautiful and the knowledge is priceless.

[george_white]

In a world where people have an attention span less than a goldfish, it’s a blessing. We need to have more long-form quality content like this. Thank you!

[leapthenest]

Dan this feels like you made it for yourself.

It feels epic and authentic 🕊️

[StevenCodeCraft]

I used to be addicted to video games and could go for hours. Now will my goals, I often fall off and don't have the same stamina. Thank you for this video and the production was so entertaining

[GudLawdHammercy]

Dan "Koe-mercial"... Love your style... It's about accepting frustration, repetition, and collaboration with the "self" - The "reflection".

Acceptance of "nobody's coming."

Abandoning materialism for a moment to moments, from moments to momentum, to momentous.

The magnum opus awaits only the brush strokes from the hands you tie behind your back.

[zaccrowlands]

Dude…this is a really awesome creative leap in terms of production. Big upgrade with all the animations.

It’s fascinating to see more of the creative energy behind the words come to life.

Also love the thumbnail. So sick.

[ECHOSIXTORONTO]

This is the most impactful and resourceful youtube channel I have ever stumbled across. I am 12% through the two hour writer and I've already learned so much. You're the man, Dan

I used my world of Warcraft grind mindset to go from ugly, unsuccessful, obese, sickly, and anxious/depressed, to handsome, successful, athletic, healthy, and mentally healthy. People do not realize that if you grind in real life, you can achieve things.
Growing up playing world of Warcraft is the reason I believe I have such intense “if I’m going to go after a goal I will push until I achieve it”. Grinding for special mounts, like the Nether Rays in Outland, takes time and focus. You have to kill hundreds and hundreds of the same monsters over and over, and turn their loot in for faction towards some bird people. If you reach exalted status with them, you earn a neat looking flying mount. This took me like 18 hours to do in game. I could have given up, but I could see what I could achieve if I pushed on.
Growing up playing games that reward work and time like that I think really wired my brain for success. I am one of those people that sets a goal and stops at nothing to achieve it. I push myself, I focus, and I will grind until I achieve the goal.
I’m glad someone is finally drawing connections between a game like world of the Warcraft, and the real world. There are so many amazing parallels that once harnessed you can achieve whatever you want. People don’t realize that you unlock immense power.
I realized all of this on my own and I wish I could have sooner….and I am so happy that someone else is putting it into a video and putting it out there for people to see. This is invaluable advice here. This mindset changed my whole life. It was one of those “holy shit, the world is just like the game”

[TheBrettWay]

An absolute piece of art thank you for taking the time to make this masterpiece brotha

[dwaleberryflavor]
