A summary of all the concentration principles and techniques seen thus far, and how to combine them for an efficient and effective training regimen.
Build your inner powers with assembly line level efficiency.
If you take self-improvement seriously and like to pursue your goals methodically, strongminding is the real deal.
And it's perfect for you.
What is strongminding?
Strongminding means training your most basic mental faculties to improve your performance in every aspect of life. What calisthenics, sports and combat conditioning are to the body, strongminding is to the mind.
Who can practice it?
Strongminding is for brainy doers with a drive to excel in life and work.
It is most suitable for grounded, pragmatic, methodical types.
Strongminding is for those who wish to explore and manifest their inner potential, but are put off by the prevalent touchy-feely, new agey or narrow-minded careerist approaches to self-improvement.
You call this a "soft technology".
What do you mean by that?
It's a “technology” because it applies scientific or practical knowledge systematically to produce concrete, predictable results.
It is “soft” in the sense that, similarly to other soft technologies such as traditional systems of yoga or chi kung, it requires (and fosters) an awareness of subtle qualities and changes.

"There's not a lot of content here.
How do I get more tutorials about my favorite topics?"
I only just launched the project, which means you still get to have a big say in what I choose to publish first. I have a lot of videos lined up for production, which of these topics would be most useful to you right now? Pick ONE (that's a bonus productivity lesson right there).
Who are you?
I'm Lorenzo Durand, a compulsive creative from Northern Italy.
I was obsessed with augmenting my mental powers and unlocking true human potential from a very early age, so I spent a lot of time researching and experimenting with all kinds of systems.
I take a strongly pragmatical approach: “whatever is needed, whatever works best, coherence is nice but effectiveness is better”.
I believe the human mind is capable of extraordinary feats; sadly, our education system does more to warp, numb and weaken our mind than it does to empower it.
My goal here is to provide you with the information you need to develop your inner powers reliably and efficiently. Time-effectiveness is a high priority.
