Calm, Cool, Collected: How to Demolish Stress, Master Anxiety, and Live Your Life

Worth a listen

This is the second piece I've read by the author. It seems to me Morenas is a part of an ever growing group of young guys like Patrick King, Greg Greenway, and others who have spun off the pick up movement. They've adopted the business/lifestyle model and elevated it to help take men (and a hand full of keen women) to the next phase of social evolution.

In this book Morenas is on a path of self discovery and improvement. I imagine the content and writing will continue to improve as he continues to grow as a leader. The interjection of unnecessary swear words to relate to his audience and his strength on certain opinions was a bit dissuasive at times. I appreciate his analogies even if occasionally long winded. The meat of his book is quite good and, perhaps for some, a bit thought provoking as well.

While I don't agree with all the thoughts and beliefs the author puts forward I didn't need to. He kept his personal politics at bay for the most part, which some authors severely struggle with, and there were a number of great take aways I can incorporate into my life. Some of the material acted as good reminders of many things I've let slip away and some was new and fresh. The advice being put forward is, in my opinion, solid. There are a handful of people I would love to hand this book to right now if I thought they would listen. As a young author and leader Morenas shows great potential.

Not impressed

Would you try another book from David De Las Morenas and/or David De Las Morenas?

Not after suffering through this one.

What could David De Las Morenas have done to make this a more enjoyable book for you?

TELL the story instead of READING the story that is supposedly your own words.

What didn’t you like about David De Las Morenas’s performance?

Quick monotone delivery. He comes across as a young, know-it-all braggart instead of someone who his trying to share lessons with his listeners.

You'll get more from the seven habits of highly effective people

I felt his book approached life from a, "get them before they get you" approach. We've seen enough bad mannered people in life hiding behind a false facade.

Motivational and informative

Great for a person dealing with stresses and depression in everyday life. A great book!

great info

I really like this book. I've actually been practicing what it says for some time and want to validate its message

Horrible book

This is a very unprofessional book. The author uses the same analogies through out the book. Girlfriend, job, workout....... he has obviously not had much life experience! He also curses quite a bit which is not offensive to me just shows a lack of vocabulary depth. Nothing of any value taken from this book. Sorry Dave.

It’s just what i needed to hear

The message on it , it just to accept you reality , and be happy with it plain and simple

Great book! Wish I would have listened to this book a long time ago :,)

Thank you so much for what you do David . I see you have so much to give the world. Listening to that little voice in my head had stopped me from going after my goals and kept me in toxic relationships. No therapist has ever broke it down for me like this about meditating, not letting set back affect you, and just being happy with what you got.

This book has deff been a game changer for me. I highly suggest this book especially to people with past trauma and low self esteem.

Don’t get the audiobook

I listened to The Book Of Alpha, which was narrated by someone one else and the narrator was energetic, spoke using dynamics and enthusiastic, so I bought this audiobook, narrated by David himself, all due respect, but David sounds monotonous, boring, and he was speed reading. I’m 12 mins into it and I just want to turn it off. Waste. Get the kindle!

A beastly little read

A very educational book for me on how to deal with the things life throws at me. The only dissatisfaction I have with it is that it is a very short read. I am really impressed with how he addresses the "little voice in your head." It is the first I've read that acknowledges it as an issue and gives a solution to takle it. This is a book I feel that I'm going to come back to again and again. I'm satisfied!
