    07 Create difficult situations without being aware of it!

    In the recent pair of episodes, you've gained expertise in morphing into an enigma to others, and in elevating money and appearances as the pinnacle of importance. Today, we're on a quest to investigate how you can kindle that chilling sensation of isolation within yourself.

    All it takes to marinade in the feeling of exclusion is to believe that your coworkers are covertly snickering at you. As a result, it's only logical to cultivate a healthy dose of mistrust towards them and to morph into a veritable Sherlock Holmes hunting for the tiniest signs of ridicule. Once this mindset is in place, it's only a matter of time before the hushed whispers of others will start to echo in your ears.

    Having navigated the choppy waters of negative thinking in the first couple of episodes and handed you the map to glorifying the past in the third, we now shine a spotlight on the virtues of scorning the present in today's episode.

    American author Dan Greenburg had already started brainstorming back in 1966 about ingenious ways to artistically wreck one's life. When it came to the present, he cherry-picked four enviable attributes that, despite their vintage, haven't lost an ounce of their relevance: Wealth, fame, talent, and beauty. If you're blessed with more than one of these prized possessions, consider yourself on the starting block of a perfect misery marathon!
