    As a therapist from Nepal, I am honestly blown by your wisdom. I have learnt a lot from your video as I've been working as an addiction counselor for two years now, I've shared your tips and tools in my sessions. I am very grateful. Wish you all the best for your book.

    Got my book recently from Amazon, I'm a few chapters in but I wanted to point out that the first thing I did was flip to a random page to read from. Instantly I felt greeted by the familiar voice we all know love, and after reading a few chapters I knew this book would be a game changer. Dr. K really knows how to help from a place of understanding and acceptance while also basing information off the latest neuroscience but what really blows my mind is how he articulates information in a way that's easy to understand and absorb. Thank you Dr. K, truly you are a blessing to society.

    I've already pre-ordered it. It will be available here in a few days. I didn't buy it for myself, though, but for my best friend and their partner. They will start raising a (hopefully) healthy gamer in a few months. All other presents I found for future parents where either expensive or stuff they would get themselves or tons and tons of outright cheap shit. But fortunately I remembered this book and now I think it's the perfect gift.

    I am so grateful for you and your team Dr.K I understand that we are the only people who can change our lives, but the tools and resources that you give us make such a big difference in fighting the battle against our minds in this technological society we live in now. Bringing awareness to the reality that we live in makes a huge impact and develops a community of growth and change. In one of your livestreams, you said,” I can give you a sword but you have to swing it.” and to that, I say I’m gonna swing that sword hard asf. Thank you for all the work you and your team have put in to create Healthy Gamer.

As well as maybe how to communicate properly with other people sense thats one thing I really enjoy about watching Dr. K. Especially with how he talks to streamers and such.

    Would love to get the hardcover but in the EU right now, the shipping from uk or us kills me. Since Brexit, products from UK not only have stupid expensive shipping for the cost and most of the times it gets stuck in customs so you have to pay it as well. Hopefully i can get a digital copy, or audiobook cheap but from what i see it's the same price ( i never understood why). Oh well...i will get it one day for sure. Congrats Dr.K! Not much content on parenting so thank you as well

    Hey Dr. K - big fan of the channel
    Could you have a guest on who is prepared to discuss the entertainment media (such as Drake and Jay-Z) who is supported by government intelligence agencies and the justification of using a technology called v2k on citizens ignoring all privacy and human rights laws whilst facilitating their profit and propogandising and weaponising their self-imposed authority?
    For example - why is a bookmaker allowed to influence the brain of their customers?
    Isn't that quite dangerous? The question is - to what extent can a commercial company influence the public? Should they be allowed access to someone's physiology and brain wiring?
