How to overcome social anxiety and low self esteem... I was thinking about my thinking today - as you do. I've come to realise that my thought is completely conditioned and is pretty much on a loop, like a script. When you really watch the thoughts that come up for you today, you'll see that they can be condensed down to 5 main loops or scripts that I call hamster wheels. I've called them that because they're rigged against what you want consciously - and in understanding that glitch, they'll show you why you can never change. Let's say you want to know how to overcome social anxiety and low self-esteem. The hardest thing, apart from you lacking confidence, will be recognising and seeing the illusion. The illusion of you thinking your thoughts are real and unique when in fact they're just the same habitual wheel spinning as usual. In other words, just like an optical illusion, you're caught in a hamster wheel and you're believing it 100% and reinforcing it. How do you actually overcome social anxiety and low self-esteem? See that you've been conditioned this way and that underneath, you have an incentive to be that way to be safe. Sounds crazy, but it's true if you look. So the only way to overcome social anxiety and "gain" self-esteem is to dissolve the illusion - or in this young man's case, hit the wall and find out what he thought was a path was not. Rob

When a Bitcoiner explains your work better than you can.... Yesterday I sent an email about the hyper vigilant father whose body was breaking down from constant surveillance of reality. Jake Woodhouse - an Investor, MC, & Podcaster + bitcoiner [email protected] - left a comment that honestly made me laugh.😂 Not because it was funny. Because I had to ask AI to translate it for me. Here's what he said: "Brilliant example of combined intellectual and humanistic capital allocation that would drive returns in every area of your life." I knew it was positive. The words felt good. But I had no idea what he actually meant. So I asked Claude: "What's he saying here?" 😕 Turns out Jake saw something I'd been doing for 30 years but never named properly: Most people allocate 90% of their life energy to running survival code written by a terrified four-year-old. Every hamster wheel - the hypervigilance, the achievement addiction, the perfectionism - is capital allocation. Energy going into outdated survival protocols instead of actual living. The "returns" Jake mentioned? That's what happens when you debug the code and reallocate that energy. Suddenly you have bandwidth for: Actually being present with your kids instead of scanning for threats Relationships that feel nourishing instead of draining Work that flows instead of grinding A body that functions instead of breaking down The intellectual part: Understanding which wheel you're running and why. The humanistic part: Having compassion for the brilliant child who created it. The allocation: Choosing observation over automation. The returns: Everything else in your life. (Priceless) Jake nailed it in one sentence. Took me a whole book to say the same thing. If you're ready to see where your energy is actually going - and reclaim it - I can show you in a 60-minute session. I'll map your specific wheel, trace it to origin, and give you the observation practice that dissolves it. Email me: [email protected] Rob

The Admin Mode Inner Circle - Live Debugging Sessions For the past year, people have been asking: "Can I work with you directly?" The one-to-one rate is £275/session (going to £300 in January). Most people need 6-12 sessions to debug their primary wheels. That's £1,650-3,300. So I've been thinking: How do I make live guidance accessible without burning out doing private sessions? The answer: Group debugging. Introducing The Admin Mode Inner Circle: 4 live webinars per month where I demonstrate the framework from Glitch in real-time. Here's how each session works: Every webinar includes ALL of these elements: Framework Teaching: I go deep on one aspect of the system - showing you patterns you might have missed in the book, responding to questions live, demonstrating the mechanics in real-time. Your Situations: You submit your patterns between sessions or bring them live. I demonstrate how to spot which wheel is spinning, where you're stuck (left/right side), and trace it to origin. Hot Seats: Real-time debugging. I work through specific situations with members while everyone watches - this is where the multiplier effect happens. One person's breakthrough becomes everyone's learning. (You can turn off your camera and remain anonymous if you prefer - many people do.) Integration Practice: How to catch wheels early, comfort your inner child without it being abstract, maintain admin mode in daily life. Q&A: Ask anything about your specific situation, the framework, how to apply it. Every session is different because it's based on what YOU bring. No rigid structure - just live pattern recognition and debugging as situations arise. Its Fascinating!!! Can't make it live? The recordings clear patterns just as effectively. Many members have breakthroughs just from listening to others' hot seats - even weeks after the session happened. Plus: Archive of all past sessions Private Telegram group (I'm active daily) Submit patterns between webinars for me to address Frameworks I'm developing in real-time This is for people who: Have read Glitch and want to go deeper faster Value live guidance over solo figuring-it-out Are committed to the work (not looking for quick fixes) Want community of conscious people Can invest 6 hours/month in transformation This is NOT for people who: Think reading is enough (it might be! The book is complete) Want tactics, not consciousness work Aren't ready to be seen (your wheels will be visible to others) Expect instant fixes (patterns take time to dissolve) First Cohort - 10 Spots Only: £697/year (rate locked forever) - 21% off if paid in Sats so £550 Why only 10? I'm refining this format. I want to give deep attention to each person's patterns, learn what works best in group settings, and create a tight community where everyone knows each other. Once I've proven the model with this first cohort, I'll open more spots at a higher rate. If you're one of these 10, you're locked in at £697/year forever - even as the price increases for future cohorts. Timeline compression: Book alone: 1-3 years to debug your primary wheels Book + Inner Circle: 3-12 months to debug your primary wheels Private sessions: 3-9 months but costs £1,650-3,300 Same framework. Accelerated integration. Community support. If this resonates: Reply to this email and tell me: Which hamster wheel(s) you recognise in yourself Why you'd be a good fit for the Inner Circle I'm looking for people who are committed to the work, not just curious. People who've read the book and are ready to go deeper. People who understand this is observation and integration, not quick fixes. I'll review responses and send the enrolment link to those who are the best fit. Rob P.S. The book is complete. You don't NEED the Inner Circle to do this work. But if you value speed + guidance + community, this is how you compress the timeline without paying private session rates.

Your suffering isn't random. It has exactly five cogs. ⚙️ ⚙️ ⚙️ ⚙️ ⚙️ Naval Ravikant said something brilliant about David Deutsch's work: "Good explanations are hard to vary." When you look back on a truly good explanation, you think: "How could this have been otherwise? This is the only way this thing could work." The iPhone is hard to vary. The aeroplane wing is hard to vary. The electric car design is hard to vary. They're all constrained by reality itself: physics, aerodynamics, human hands. You can't just change them without losing what makes them work. Here's what I realised after 30 years of debugging human consciousness: Human suffering has exactly five shapes. Not four. Not six. Five. The Five Hamster Wheel System isn't something I invented. It's something I discovered, like finding the periodic table of human programming. Gain/Loss Able/Unable Right/Wrong Support/Let Down Attention/Ignore Every pattern of suffering I've ever encountered, from Premier League players to Olympic athletes to struggling parents, fits into one of these five binary wheels. I tried to find a sixth. I looked for years. It doesn't exist. I tried to collapse them into four. They won't collapse. Each wheel is distinct, irreducible. The framework is hard to vary because it's mapping to something real: the actual architecture of how childhood survival programming gets written into your nervous system. When I show someone their specific wheel, they don't say "interesting theory." They say "Holy shit, you just described my entire life." That's not because I'm clever. It's because the explanation is constrained by reality. It's hard to vary because it's true. Naval talks about how good knowledge is fractal. You meet it at the level you're ready to receive it. You might get 20% the first time, 25% the second time. That's exactly how "Glitch" works. First read: you recognise your dominant wheel. Second read: you see how your parents ran the same wheel. Third read: you catch yourself spinning in real-time and step into admin mode. The framework doesn't change. Your depth of understanding does. If you're ready to see the five patterns that are running your life (not theory, but the actual code), grab the book here: link in bio It's hard to vary because human programming is hard to vary. Rob P.S. The reason therapy often fails isn't because therapists aren't trying. It's because they're working without the map. They're treating symptoms without seeing the underlying wheel structure. Once you see the five wheels clearly, everything else makes sense. That's what "hard to vary" explanations do: they make the complex suddenly simple. #consciousness #psychology #naval #selfawareness #trauma

The moment I almost broke my daughter's trust forever --- Yesterday I shared my first rollercoaster ride, but I had another story from Disney that was even more powerful. We all arrived home to our cabin at Center Parcs after an exhausting but exhilarating day. I was getting things ready for bed when I heard my youngest start to cry. I rushed into the living room to find Sylvia comforting Bo as Lima looked on, upset and starting to cry herself. My Unable/Able hamster wheel got triggered immediately. I angry-panic asked: "What's going on?!" Sylvia explained that Lima had thrown a sharp keyring holder at Bo which hit her on the forehead. This triggered my Right/Wrong wheel. I became 100% angry and raised my voice at Lima for doing something so "wrong." Lima burst out crying. Immediately upon seeing her like this, I caught myself and stepped into admin mode. I KNEW Lima would never intentionally hurt her sister. I went to soothe her, but she was also triggered (her Unable/Able wheel) and moved away from me, hiding behind the curtain. **This is exactly how wheel scripts get imprinted.** I asked Sylvia to go comfort Lima, which she was able to do. But when I approached, Lima pushed me away and told me: "Get away. I don't want you here." Those words cut deep. I went to bed but realised her words had triggered something profound in me. A deep sadness at being pushed away. Sitting on my bed, I watched my thoughts spin: *"I shouted at her and now she no longer loves me."* *"I've hurt her and now I'm unable to get close to her."* *"I've broken something in our relationship."* I watched the hurt spin and looked for the hamster wheel causing the most pain in me. I knew the situation "out there" had triggered some deep glitchy coding in myself. I also knew that if I reacted from that place, I would CREATE the very reality I feared most. Then I saw it: **Support/Let Down.** I felt I had let her down. Not supported her. And she was deeply disappointed in me. That disappointment wound cut straight to my core. I immediately picked up little Rob (the practice I teach in my book) and comforted him. That mechanism - understanding the glitch in my code - made the wheel dissolve. Peace washed over me. Without thinking, I stood and went back into the living room. I hugged my wife, then Bo, then Lima - who was now calm and allowed me to hold her. If I hadn't done admin mode, I would have returned in anger. Because I was hurt, I would have angrily told Lima "you can't push me away like that." **That would have energised the exact script I was trying to avoid.** It would have created more disappointment and let down - a wave of destructive energy flowing through my family system, encoding the pattern deeper into all of us. Instead, I returned to my bed and slept peacefully with a deep knowing: I had stripped away another layer of conditioning that would inevitably bring me closer to my family. And that connection is the most valuable thing in my life. **Do this work. You will find that nothing is more important.** If you're ready to see which wheels are running your life - and learn how to step off them before they damage what matters most - my book "Glitch" maps all five patterns with surgical precision. **Read it here: https://www.glitchthebook.co** Rob P.S. Lima doesn't remember the incident this morning. But something shifted in our relationship. That's how this works - you don't fix the other person, you debug YOUR programming, and the relationship transforms naturally.

Physical Intelligence - wow

💝

Yes translations on the way. Agreed... its mind boggling and important 🙏 🤯

Yes as I wrote it’s important to point out when something is dangerous - it was the after thinking that was problematic- mine was saying negative things but that was old programming

Right side hamster wheel power - Mind over matter.

Haha

"ANY belief system is a crutch."

If you watch, really watch, you will see how deeply conditioned we are. If you want to change something in your life, just 'watch', that is the secret. If you 'do', you will reinforce the conditioning.
