"I just moved here from Florida."

That sentence contains at least five follow-up questions she WANTS you to ask. Where in Florida? What brought you here? How long have you been in the area? What do you miss? How does it compare to here?

She handed them to you on a silver platter. And you said, "Oh cool. I come here every week. I love this band. Ummm... pretty crowded tonight."

She smiled politely. Nodded. And never texted you back.

I was that guy for years. Talking too much. Listening too little. Panicking about my next sentence while she was literally feeding me the answers.

Then I found 22 rules that fixed the whole thing. Rule number one: shut up and listen. She'll tell you exactly what to say.

Anyone have any suggestions for some good books to read. I like to read if i get time to. I dont want any motivational speaking BS, just some inspiring content, something that may change my perspective on things. Doesnt even necessarily have to be solely based on the premise of women either
 

"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.

Yes, Think and Grow Rich and Law of Success by Napoleon Hill are paradigm shifters.

You should check out As a Man Thinketh by James Allen, a very short but meaningful discourse on man's dominion over his mind as the means of his existence.

Atlas Shrugged was the biggest eye-opener for me, it exposed me to Ayn Rand's Objectivist philosophy. Her basic position is that man is only responsible for himself, that he cannot bear the responsibility of others and he cannot expect others to be responsible for him.

ok yeah think im buying the last book you mentioned. lately ive really been thinking about how i worry too much about other peoples problems, like things that dont involve me whatsoever, and i will dwell on others problems. i start thinking, "how are they gonna get out of this", or "how would i react", but to an extreme where it starts to worry me so much that it manifests into a problem that starts affecting me. somehow some people perceive me as selfish, but i honestly dont think im selfish enough. i definately need to start doing what I want and what makes ME happy.

i have read rich dad poor dad and am halfway through think and grow rich, just getting prepared. thanks for the suggestions!

Uncommon Geniuses is a book I never see anyone mentioned that is wonderful.
 

“The 22 Rules That Flip the Script With Women… And How You Can Use Them Tonight”

Most guys accidentally kill attraction before they even speak. They assume they need a bigger bank account, a better physique, or smoother lines. They miss the point.

Female desire operates on a specific set of psychological triggers.  Break them, and you're invisible. Follow them, and you become magnetic.

I learned this the hard way. Years of freezing up. Getting friend-zoned. Watching other guys walk away with the girl I wanted. Then I discovered a set of 22 simple rules that rewired my entire approach.

Standing At The Crossroads
The Language Of God, by Dr.Francis Collins.

Dr.Collins was the director of the Humane Genome Project. Dr.Collins was not a religious person when undertaking the project but came to the conclusion that the order of the genome, it's mathmatical equations and models, could not simply be random. Therefore, he suggests in his book that there was/may be, something greater that created the universe and ultimately, life itself.

Not overly technical. A good read and fascinating.
