Yes,

Step 1) Decide what you want to achieve and how much you are willing to sacrifice to get there. Sounds cheesy but this really is like taking the red pill - your perception of the world will be shifted forever.  
Step 2) Read the Game, realise it is heavily exaggerated & embellished but enjoy it as a story. this will give you the foundation to understand how and why Pick-Up work.  
Step 3) Read the first 3 chapters of The Mystery method and STOP.  
Step 4) Do not read any more.  
Step 5) Go out and practice. - where do you live? find out if you have a local community - if you have great, ready made wingmen, if not it is slightly tougher but you can still do it, go out, stay sober and talk to everyone, it is all practice, the more people you talk to the better, don’t owrry to much aobut following the method etc just concentrate on enjoying yourself and learning about different people.

Good luck.
