8 Rules from Fight Club

  1. “No fear. No dis­trac­tions. The abil­ity to let that which does not mat­ter truly slide.”
  2. Again: “No fear. No dis­trac­tions. The abil­ity to let that which does not mat­ter truly slide.”
  3. “I say never be com­plete, I say stop being per­fect, I say let’s evolve, let the chips fall where they may.”
  4. “It’s only after we’ve lost every­thing that we’re free to do anything.”
  5. “You’re not your job. You’re not how much money you have in the bank. You’re not the car you drive. You’re not the con­tents of your wal­let. You’re not your fuck­ing khakis.”
  6. “Peo­ple do it every­day, they talk to them­selves… they see them­selves as they’d like to be, they don’t have the courage you have, to just run with it.”
  7. “Stick­ing feath­ers up your butt does not make you a chicken.”
  8. “This is your life, and it’s end­ing one minute at a time.”


I came across this posting in another blog site while googling "Tyler Durden."  Fight Club is an amazing film and to boil it down to a few rules or quotes is  a disservice but simultaneously brings the overarching concept into focus.  So no complaints.  Just simple unadulterated enjoyment for such precipts that resonant at the core.  So what is the forensic inherent barrier to implementation?  Courage.
