> [@Book Recommendations](https://pheromonetalk.com/t/book-recommendations/42337/14): > > Some important books that have really changed me and my outlook: > The Four Agreements > Way of The Superior Man > The Power of Now > A New Earth another Eckhart Tolle book > The 50th Law > The War of Art..yes The War of Art and not The Art of War. > I’ll add to the list as I recall others. I’m an avid book reader. > > Authors to look out for that you can pretty much purchase anything they write and get something out of it. > John C. Maxwell > David Deida > Eckhart Tolle > [@Steve](#): > > Science of Getting Rich: Wallace Wattles > Psycho-Cybernetics: Maxwell Maltz > Think and Grow Rich: Napoleon Hill > 7 Habbits of Highly Effective People: Steven Covey > 4 Hour Work Week: Tim Ferris > Brain Droppings: George Carlin > Miriam Webster Dictionary > Secrets of the Millionaire Mind: T Harv Eker > Influence - The Psychology of Persuasion: Robert Cialdini > TranceFormations: Richard Bandler > Frogs into Princes: Richard Bandler > Using Your Brain For a Change: Richard Bandler > Get the Life You Want: Richard Bandler > The February Man: Milton Ericson > The Art of War: Sun Tzu > Subliminal Persuasion: Dave Lakhani > Every Word Has Power: Yvonne Oswald > Cirque Du Soleil The Spark : John Bacon > Influencer The Power to Change Anything: Kerry Patterson +4 others > Radical Honesty: Brad Blanton > > There are countless others on PUA stuff, but many are simply rehashed and written in such a way to funnel you to buy more. I’ve also avoided any titles that I think others have already mentioned. I pretty much read a book every three to four days. I am currently reading Lift - again for second time, and I’m also reading “Will” by G Gordon Liddy, which is actually pretty darn funny. > > My all time favorite books would be: > To Kill A Mockingbird: Harper Lee > Fear: L Ron Hubbard (This is not a scientology book. This is an incredibly scary book) > > Stay interesting and don’t just read about self help. My suggestion is to read everything and anything that keeps you happy in life. > [@RADMAN513](#): > > The Alpha Male Bookshelf (A RAD Compendium) > Alpha Male Challenge by James Villepigue and Rick Collins (good fitness program coupled with some character development exercises) > Any Leadership Books by John C Maxwell > Being the Strong Man a Woman Wants by Elliot Katz > Hold on to Your NUTs: The Relationship Manual for Men by Wayne M Levine > Living the Martial Way by Forrest E Morgan > No More Mr Nice Guy by Robert A Glover > The Assertiveness Workbook by Randy J. Paterson Ph.D. > Way of the Superior Man by David Deida > > And if you really want to capitalize on the sophisticated vibe of James Bond (who inspired A314 according to MHarris) or the Most Interesting Man in the World from the Dos Equis ad campaign (who I believe is a TOTAL A314 man) then perhaps a nice survey course in some sophistication. > Any beginner level books on Blues, Jazz, Classical, Opera, And Ballet would be a good start. (don’t be embarrassed to try the “for dummies” versions. I did and they’re great for starting a subject you may not know much about plus they give good suggestions for building a music collection based on the genre of each book) > A book or two followed by a course on wine tasting (a wine store in your area may have them), A few Art books. > Even if the female you’re interested in doesn’t know a damn thing about these topics it can create a catch-22 attraction effect. > Knowing about topics like these act as a DHV that helps to create attraction (since they’re associated in most peoples minds with wealth, status, culture and sophistication.) so it adds to attraction. > As you build attraction the girl will actually find these topics more interesting even if she was never interested in them before. > Kind of like how women say they’re attracted to a man with a good sense of humor…but if the man is attractive they’ll laugh at even the lamest jokes. > > Likewise some good books on politics, philosophy, religion, law and economics will both broaden your own world and and impress people high on the social ladder. Look up Easton Press’s 25 books that changed the world. > If all of that sounds like too much to start with, try the Intellectual Devotional, Daily Dose of Knowledge or the Bedside Baccalaureate each one contains 365 daily bits of info (think wikipedia entries) on many of the topics I just listed. Make it a personal resolution to learn one new thing every day. > [@piotro2](#): > > How to win friends and influence people - Dale Carnegie (Written in like 1930) > > Good hands on advice. Nice ans short too. I pulled these off of some threads I remembered --- _[View the full topic](https://pheromonetalk.com/t/balanced-personality/49703)._
