"You'll Never Feel READY to Walk Over"

Next Monday you'll feel more confident. After the gym you'll feel more confident. After one more drink you'll feel more confident. After you get a better haircut, a better jacket, a better job.

You've been "getting ready" for two years.

She's standing ten feet away right now. She'll be gone in four minutes. No amount of preparation will manufacture the courage that only comes from moving your feet.

Walk over. Stumble through the first sentence. Let it be clumsy. Let it be imperfect. You will feel more alive in those ten seconds than you have all month.

I dont know if its me or not. I got my hands on a few e-books. After reading 10-20 pages. My eyes get sore and over the long haul it just dosent feel the same. Yea there free but nothing like holding a book in your hand.

I watched the secret and plan on again. Amazing. Ive read similar books.

Im going to barnes and noble to pick up a few;

Rich dad poor dad
48 laws of power
unlock reality
the attracto factor
how to win friends and influence people

anything else ?

i just finished Ageless body, timeless mind - deepak chopra md

Robert Greene is a great author on the subject. I see that you've listed "48 Laws of Power", a great book. Don't forget "The Art of Seduction" & "33 Strategies of War" by that author as well.

The Art Of War - Sun Tzu -- Classic, must read book on the subject.

Miyamoto Mushashi's "Book of Five Rings" is very interesting as well.

The last two books I've listed here can probably be found online simply by going to google. Free is sometimes a good thing...

I can get every single one of those books listed online, i just dont know how i feel about reading the entire "art of war" online. Free yes but in the long run im going to kill my eyes. I checked my lib and they have a few books listed. I would like to own then but i dont know if id read them again. Or if they would just end up in my own personal lib.
 

"The Coffee Shop Girl You Never Spoke To"

You've replayed it a hundred times. She stood three feet away, scrolling her phone. You had an opening. You composed the perfect line — after she was gone.

For all you know, she's married now. To some guy who said something. Anything.

Openers are cheap. Almost any sentence works when it's delivered within three seconds. The expensive part is the standing there, drafting and deleting, while the window quietly closes.

The "22 Rules" stripped out my hesitation. What to open with, how to keep it alive, and the one habit that costs guys more women than anything else: waiting for perfect.

If you can get them m8 then flick then over to me aswell Ive searched high and low for some of them and dorks aroudn this place dont stock them much, its a true pain.

Also if its a ebook you can get it printed for really really cheap, I bought 48 laws of power for real cheap online and just had the file printed out at a printing store only cost like 15 bucks and it was in good quality.

A lot of e-books (& regular books) have audio counterparts or similiar material on audio...so seek those out, but u get used to e-books after a while...

I've been reading The Emperor's Handbook by Marcus Aurelius and it's definitely a great insight into his mind and Stoicism. It's along the lines of the 48 Laws Of Power, but more direct and extreme.

"Stop Asking Your Friends What to Text Her"

Your buddy Dave has been single for three years and thinks "hey u up" is a valid strategy. Your other buddy Mike just got dumped and told you to "just be yourself."

You showed them her text. You asked them to decode the emoji. You drafted four responses and sent the screenshot to the group chat for a vote.

She's been waiting forty minutes.

Put the phone down. Stop crowdsourcing your love life. Type something that sounds like you. Hit send. Then go do literally anything else with your evening.

it's a shorter book, some great messages about frame of mind and making the most of what's in front of you.
