Don Juan
To all fellow DJ's and converting AFCs.
I have listed and reviewed my all time favorite books for giving you the tools and mindset of a true Don Juan. All of these books have equal merit for different reasons. For compactness, I've left out a lot of great books that didn't make it to the final list. I invite all of you to add any of your own that you think is particularly useful to the aspiring DJ. These books are classics, and are mostly about attitude and general approaches. These are not books with specific tips and techniques. None of them apply directly to picking up women. They are books that will make you seem more attractive, and give you the correct mindset so that you can pick up women in the way you are best at.
They are split into 3 sections:
Military Strategy - These are life manuals. They need to be read many times to be fully understood.
Power Books - Power is critically important in attracting women. Many of you would not like to admit it, or don't recognise all the types of power that you have/use. It is essential though. Women love limelight, and they love powerful men. I actually beleive it's the single most important factor. Many, I'm sure will disagree and that's fair enough, but you can't deny it is at least of Major importance.
Life Improvement books These two are the best I know of for helping you to become more likeable. It can make you the kind of person all people want to know and be around. This kind of person attracts women like you would not beleive, so I've suggested them.
I'll start out with military strategy books, because these books have a far reaching applications well beyond just dating women. In my view, the true Don Juan applies the principles in this book to all of his life, he just may of gotten the information through experience and other sources. These are must reads.
The Art of War by Sun Tzu
This book is essentially a big list of tips on military strategy. However, it's so much more than that. What is said here is applicable in so many other areas of life that it has to be read. You will have to read it several times to fully understand it and gain enough insight to apply it to other situations. This is one for the long haul. It’s worth it in the long run. If you were to make one book your manual for life, it should be this.
On War by Carl von Clausewitz
Again a book on military strategy. This one is a lot longer and heavier than the Art of War, but it's also packed with a lot of gems. Of particular note is his controversial views on how war is just a natural extension of politics. It's a very unique and convincing view. Given the current world situation, war can easily become a conversation point with anybody, and this knowledge will arm you perfectly for a discussion
The Art of War by Niccolo Machiavelli
One of the less popular books from the great man, but also very useful. Although it has the same title, it's quite different from Sun Tzu's book. It has more of a focus on the use of perceived power and reputation in military strategy. Excellent read.
What now follows is books about power. Whilst I appreciate that this is not everybody's ultimate goal, all people would like to have more power of some type (power comes in many forms). Let us not forget either that the great Henry Kissenger, when asked "How does an ugly Jew get all those women?" replied "Power is a potent aphrodisiac". There is no doubt about this. None.
The 48 Laws of Power by Robert Greene
This book borrows ideas from a lot of the classic power books (most of which are mentioned here), and forms 48 rules to live by to increase your power. The rules apply to gaining power in any situation, but most examples have a business focus. This is easy to absorb, and is very highly recommended. Some of the rules you may not like the sound of ("Pose as a friend, work as a spy"), and there is no doubt that this book is Amoral (note, not immoral). Some ofthe rules are also very useful in dating as well ("Always say less than necesary").
The Prince by Niccolo Machiavelli
The ultimate book on Power. This book is so instrumental in shaping views on how to get power, that it coined it's own adjective (I'm sure you've heard people being accused of being "Machiavellian"). It's reputation is well earned. This book has a lot of useful stuff. Again, it's heavy reading, and you may need to read it more than once to fully understand it.
Leadership secrets of Attila the Hun by Wess Roberts
Another practical guide to power, using the famous dictator as inspiration. A good read again, with some very good rules for both power and leadership. More politically correct than the above books.
Now we go onto less cynical books about life improvement. These books are also very useful, and aim to deliver life philosophies that bring success, just as the others, but in a nicer way, and without hurting other people. My opinion is some sort of middle ground is required for a successful DJ, so arm yourself with both.
How to win Friends and Influence People by Dale Carnegie
Want everybody to like you and to be great at conversation? Read this!. Some of his main points are mentioned now and again on this site, but you have to read the book to get all the information. This book will get you more friends, and make people listen to you, but some rules go contrary to seducing a woman. This is because being a friend and being a lover are two very different things. Use this book to get lots of friends, and then use other techniques on women you want to sleep with.
The 7 habits of highly effective People by Stephen Covey
A lot of waffle in this book, but the end result is sound. Read the first and last chapter, and you've covered everything you need to know. The stuff in the middle just confirms the knowledge. Recommended because this is great for helping you acheive your goals and getting others to do things for you. In my view, it puts too much faith in other people for me to follow to the letter, but it's useful to know, and hey, some of you might not be so much of a bast*rd as me!
That's it! Read these books and start transforming your life.
