Kindle Notes & Highlights
“Humans are attracted to each other’s rough edges.” Show your rough edges. Stop trying to be perfect. Expose yourself and share yourself without inhibition.
pay attention to the emotions and motivations behind everything that you do and say.
vulnerability is not a technique or tactic. It is a way of being. It’s not something you learn, it’s a mindset you practice.

Men who are non-needy establish strict boundaries because they value their own time and happiness more than receiving attention from a woman. They also see no reason to trample over other people’s boundaries.
Any attempt to control the reactions of others or take some kind of power over the reactions you receive is both foolish and illusory.
Lifestyle, Courage, and Communication: I refer to these as the Three Fundamentals.
If you’re afraid to approach a woman, it’s because somewhere inside you are more invested in her opinion of you than you are in your own opinion of yourself.
