/u/captaincringeworthy has posted a nice article on why law 18 directly conflicts with monk mode. I agree with him on this one. Monk Mode is bull shit especially in the business world. He kind of missed the point of what is really happening. Being loose and going with the flow is the work of followers. He was on point that you need to be out there networking with your colleagues. Ask yourself. Are you the guy who always says no to happy hour on thursdays? If you are, its probably time to think about how those people see you.

Which brings me to the next point. When people ask you out somewhere and you say no multiple times, did you notice they quit asking you? Did you also notice they stop including you in general? Yep, that's life.
