Just got done watching Jim Carrey's movie "Yes Man"

It's always nice to see Jim Carrey back in top form in a comedy. I never understood all the backlash when he tried to do drama.

One of my personal favorite movies of his is The Truman Show. It has a lot to say about our dependence on living other people's lives – as well as the artificiality of the world around us.

Jim's latest movie is actually another riff on what I consider to be an Alpha Man subject – thinking in terms of positive outcomes instead of blocking yourself off.

You may already be familiar with the plot which riffs on his "Liar Liar" theme of being compelled to do something he doesn't want to do. In this case it's saying YES to every opportunity that comes his way.

I know a lot of guys that close down and look for excuses to say NO to things all the time, and this locks us into patterns of pain and scarcity.

Every guy should watch this and see how a philosophy of acceptance can bring you out of your comfort zone and back into your life.

Definitely worth a watch.
