What's a good book on being a man? Like topics like leading, taking risks, your role, ect.
Why "Whatever You Want" Keeps You Single
She says the movie looks dumb; you suddenly agree. She tests you with a little attitude; you apologize for nothing.
You think you're being easy to get along with. She reads something else entirely: a man with no edges. Nothing to hold on to. No friction, no tension, no reason to wonder what he really thinks.
The "22 Rules" taught me to push back — playfully, calmly, without needing her approval. Strange things happened after that.

"She Made Her Decision Before You Finished Your Sentence"
Three seconds. That's how long it took. Your shoes. Your posture. The way you held your drink. Whether you looked at the floor or looked at her.
She already filed you away. Interesting. Boring. Safe. Bold. Before you even opened your mouth.
Everything you say after that is just her confirming what she already decided.
So stop rehearsing lines. Fix the first three seconds. Stand tall. Look up. Smile like you mean it. Walk like you belong wherever you're standing.
The words come later. The impression comes first.

There're some great books:
"The seven habits of highly effective people" by Stephen Covey;
"Absent fathers, lost sons" by Guy Corneau (recommended in David de angelo's seminars);
"Influence Science and Practice" by Robert B. Cialdini;
"The 48 laws of power" by Robert Greene. (not really sure if it makes you a "man", but an interesting read, though)
I follow most of david's tips (I apply my own ideas too). In his seminars he said that most of the things that make you successful with women, are the same things that make you successful in business.

"What to Say When You Talk to Your Self" by Shad Helmstetter
"How I Made Sure No Woman Ever Friend-Zoned Me Again"
She calls you when her car breaks down. When she needs help moving. When some guy she's actually dating treats her badly.
You're the listener. The reliable one. The guy who would treat her so much better, if she'd just open her eyes.
She won't. You trained her to see you as the low-effort option — the friend who requires zero risk and zero investment. Every favor dug the hole deeper.
The "22 Rules" break the pattern. You'll stop auditioning for a role she already cast and become the man she chases instead. It starts with Rule 1.

His best series are "Sexual communication" and "Deep inner game". His "Deep inner game" is a KILLER! It's not exclusively directed to women, it's more of a general program. His guest is a psychologist who is the main lecturer in the program.Originally posted by organizedconfusion
