Rules of the Game
by Neil Strauss (Goodreads Author)
by Neil Strauss (Goodreads Author)
Not quite as good as The Game, but a more interesting package - two mini-books together. Book one is kind of a supplement to The Game - more stories, but fleshed-out (no pun intended). The second book is an actual 30-day "Style-Life Challenge" self-help regimen aimed at taking shy guys from timidity to actually getting a date. It's a fascinating read, and offers a bunch of interesting and legitimate (but not cheesy or obvious) self-improvement tips and personal challenges/head games to become more self-aware and confident. The downside of this, if one were to actually using it for its intended purpose (to get a date) and not merely as a piece of interesting reading, is that it vacillates between treating the reader/challenge-taker as a borderline autistic person (with baby steps like striking up a conversation with another human being and essential grooming for going out in public) and then expecting this person to do things that a significantly more socially confident person might even struggle with, without enough middle ground. Still, a fascinating read after you've finished Strauss' first book.
