"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 remember reading on a thread here that someone read Dr. Maxwell Maltz's "Psycho-Cybernetics" and said that it helped them develop a better self-image. From the reviews of that book it seems to be a powerful tool in working your inner-game through a better self-image. I've been reading it and trying to do the exercises for almost a week. Anyone else know anything about this book? Is it the "life changer" that I've heard it can be?
 

"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'm reading it now. I've heard a lot about it and finally decided to have a look myself. It seems brilliant so far, I'm almost halfway through. In almost every chapter I realize something important. A lot of it parallels a lot of other inner game and spiritual stuff I've been going through lately.

I would definately like to hear other peoples opinions of it.

To Shake_it, make a journal and keep doing the exercises for a month and I'm sure you will find out for yourself ;)

yep, that book is a definate. Make sure you make it a real habit to visualize or something like that everyday. it takes a while to reprogram yourself, but its worth it. Most champion athletes swear by that method.

I'm reading the original version, ninth printing. I'll start keeping a journal of my visualizations. Are the relaxation exercises very useful? I know that the visualization exercies are key.
