Self Improvement vs. Looking for your self in the future
I'm trying to get my older brother into Tolle. I know once he starts listening he'll be addicted.
A lot of his teachings that I've shared with him don't completely resonate yet. I think that's because you have to listen to the audio's and it will start to click. It doesn't make sense until you've become still and present.
Anyways, one of the objections my brother brought up was that he felt that it's important to look for your self in the future. That to him is how you self improve. I shared my response to him below, which is heavily influenced by Tolle. Let me know your thoughts and if you guys tend to feel the same way. It's funny, I work as an online fitness coach. And getting people into Tolle has had a massive benefit.
Anyways, here's what I told my brother.
Ok it's decent. But sell him on the benefits, not on what he's doing wrong

Ah true, didn't mean for it to come accross like that. Didn't mean 'you' specifically, but just talking in generalties. To apply to everyone, even myself. But good catch, I'll make that clear and possibly hone in on the benefits.
im not a fan of tolle and after reading this Im still not.
its easier to influence people if they look up to you and if you are trying to pass off a book like this its good to have results yourself to back up your claims. instead of passing off your religion just becasue you think its good yo.

The month after he finished coaching he told me he only went out a few times that month, so he couldn't practice much, but he'd fucked a new girl every time he'd gone out that month. Derp

If you were my student, Gnarly, I would make you listen to Tolle. But you haven't even had the fortitude to get that going yet.

It seems like you're leaning in, chasing, trying to sell him on the Tolle. I'm not sure that works brother. Jon can do it because people are coming to him for help and advice, is that the case with your bro? I think the best you can hope for is just lean back, do you, set a good example and let him come around or not on his own. I'm not saying give up talking about it but I'd be concerned about putting him off. I'd invite you to look at it like this: don't try to solve the problem for him solve it inside yourself.
That's the thing about family tho. You can use more aggressive tactics because he ain't going anywhere lol. You better believe I forced it on my mom lol
