"The Kiss of Death Mistake"

You replay the conversation at 2 a.m. She texted back fast yesterday. Today, nothing. Was that smile friendly or flirty? What did the shoulder touch mean?

Every hour you spend decoding her signals drains your confidence and hands her the controls. Women can sense that insecurity from across the room — and it repels them.

One of the "22 Rules" kills the obsession on the spot: assume she likes you, and act accordingly. Sounds too simple. Works anyway.

Her interest tends to rise to meet your expectations. Psychologists call it a self-fulfilling prophecy.

Am still struggling, but the following helped me to a large degree. Hope you find them useful :)

0. The Fountainhead

1. The Law of Success In Sixteen Lessons by Napoleon Hill

  • Other books written by Napoleon Hill are also worth reading.



2. Rich Dad Poor Dad: What The Rich Teach Their Kids About Money That the Poor and Middle Class Do Not!

  • Other books written by Robert Kiyosaki and his advisors are also worth reading.


3. The Richest Man in Babylon

4. The 7 Habits of Highly Effective People: Powerful Lessons in Personal Change. A must read IMO.

"Nervous Around Beautiful Women? There's a Rule for That"

I could talk to any woman I wasn't attracted to. Charming, funny, relaxed. Then a gorgeous woman looked my way and I'd become a sweating, babbling mess.

The fix took me years to find and ten minutes to learn. Nervousness and excitement are the same physical state — pounding heart, adrenaline, flushed face. Your brain just picks the label. And you can pick a better one.

Rule 16 shows you how. You feel the nerves, relabel them as excitement, and let that energy pour out as enthusiasm. Women notice the guy radiating it. They always do.

Best success/business book I've read lately:

http://www.amazon.com/Power-Some-Pe...&qid=1406730867&sr=1-1&keywords=power+pfeffer

Funny book on social class with a huge amount of useful inner game tips for DJs:

http://www.amazon.com/Class-Through...&qid=1406731034&sr=1-1&keywords=class+fussell

Motivational Gold from Eastern thought:

http://www.amazon.com/Classics-Stra...ords=cleary+strategy+and+tactics+volume+three

The I Ching, most misunderstood book in the world. Not just another kind of crystal ball, horoscope or tarot deck, but a focusing, flexibility and mind expansion tool unrivalled IMO. But once you know how to use it, it can be included in seduction routines to great effect as a fringe benefit ;)

This is also a book that has to be read:

http://www.amazon.com/The-Greatest-Salesman-World-Mandino/dp/055327757X

From a review:


"For those who enjoy classic business parables like the "The Richest Man in Babylon" by George Clayson, "The Baron Son" by Vicky Therese Davis, and "The Alchemist" by Paolo Coelo, they will certainly find interest in "The Greatest Salesman in World."

Like the other works, it has been translated around the world and brought joy to the hearts of many. "The Greatest Salesman in the World" is the first, and by far the best, in Og Mandino's trilogy including "The Greatest Secret in the World" and "The Greatest Miracle in the World."

As the title would imply, it is the ancient story of the world's greatest salesperson whose passes on his secrets of success by bequeathing ten scrolls to his protégé.

The Scroll Marked I, Today I begin a new life - Form good habits and become their slaves
The Scroll Marked II, I will greet this day with love in my heart - Show love and compassion to the world and you shall find it returned
The Scroll Marked III, I will persist until I succeed - Persistence will bring you success
The Scroll Marked IV, I am nature's greatest miracle - Love yourself
The Scroll Marked V, I will live this day as if it is my last - Seize the day
The Scroll Marked VI, I will be the master of my emotions - Live courageously and do not fall victim to fear and disappointment
The Scroll Marked VII, I will laugh at the world - Appreciate each situation and do not take life too seriously
The Scroll Marked VIII, Today I will multiply my value hundred fold - Find ways to create value for others in your exchanges
The Scroll Marked IX, I will act now - Act decisively to achieve success
The Scroll Marked X, I will pray for guidance - Renew yourself through a connection with God"

Classic "how to win friends and influence people" by Dale Carnegie. Applies to dating too actually. amazing book
 

"So, What Do You Do for Fun?"

She asks it casually, mid-sip. And you feel the floor open up, because the honest answer is work, gym, and a couple shows you're half-watching.

Women rarely say this out loud, but a man with a life is attractive before he says a word. The guy who spent Saturday deep-sea fishing and came back with photos and a story — he walks in already interesting.

The "22 Rules" pushed me to build a life worth talking about. Turns out the fastest way to be interesting to women is to be interested in your own life first.

I've read many self-help books over the years; I've read books about how to make money, how to withstand upcoming recessions and how to succeed socially. Most of these books, I learned about from this website - some through PMs, some through site searches.

The books that meant the most to me, though, were the ones that gave me REAL motivation. A few have done this, but only one has really stuck with me:

http://www.amazon.com/The-50th-Law-...=UTF8&qid=1407911877&sr=8-1&keywords=50th+law

Most people are familiar with The 48 Laws of Power, which is a phenomenal book in its own right, but no book has ever given me a since of drive like The 50th Law. I still refer back to it on a monthly basis.

I would also recommend The 33 Strategies of War for those in leadership positions.
