"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.

I overheard something about this book months ago on this forum...

fast forword to last night/this morning... when i realized, in a 7X-prescribed-daily-dose amphetamine-induced, ZOMBI-like state -- that something's gotta change. And it's gotta change now.

I googled that book, read a few beginning pages, and it blew my mind - like nothing i read/seen before. And i wasn't high or anything, cuz i ran out of that $hit last night (if your wondering).

I didn't even order the book, I just got into my car and went to the store instantly and bought it. Havent read much further yet, but I'll read it slowly to make sure i really digest the information and let it sink in..

Discuss the book anyone?
 

"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 think it's one of the best books I've ever read.
It is truly one of the most influential books I have read.
There's a lot of deeply changing insight in that book.

I highly recommend it.

I have it and recently got a smaller book called 'practising the power of now' which is a shorter version.

It thought me about how the ego operates and how to observe the ego etc. Also accepting things and resisting things only gives it more energy etc..

Eckhart Tolle has a new book out but I've yet to read that.

I bought this book over four years ago and still have yet to read it. I think I tried starting a couple times but something inside me say "this is just bullsh*t" and put the book down. I need to pull it out of my closet and give it another shot.

"Power of Now"

I think thats the summary of the whole book right there, I refuse to read it.
 

"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.

This is an incredible book that has changed my overall outlook on life for the better....if you follow it up with A New Earth, also by Eckhart Tolle. It could very well take your inner game up to a whole new level....
