The following are the books that I have read in the past years in which I would say played an important role in my development.
1. How to be a Jerk Women Love (F.J. Shark)
No questions ask. This is the Ultimate Jerk Bible. F.J. Shark made a wonderful job in writing this masterpiece. The book tours you inside the mind of women, their tactics and defenses in maneuvering the relationship. At the same time as the title suggest, it shows you how a jerk managed to bypass this prime defenses to become the one to control the relationship – THE ART OF CARING LESS. This book is a must read.
2. Art of Seduction (Robert Greene)
If reincarnation is true, then Robert Greene is the reincarnation of Machiavelli. But in this case he is no longer writing in the subject of politics but rather in the secret knowledge of seduction. If I were to ask I would say that all pick up and seduction books have been inspired in one way or another by this book. The Machiavellian style of historical writing that he used in this book is undoubtedly very useful to convince your mind that people since time of memorial is seducing each other.
Honestly, I want to see how an academic like Robert Greene plays in the field!
3. The Game (Neil Strauss)
Oh yeah! The game! The book which became the starting point of most so called pick up artist nowadays. Me too start with this one. In my opinion this book is a more solid motivational books rather than a technique book. Though you can learn here the fundamentals of the game, I am sure that it is possible for you to misunderstand or misuse most of the ideas in here if you are stuck reading only this book. However, the skyrocketing motivation this book will give to you can never be discounted.
4. Double Your Dating Attraction is not a Choice (David De Angelo)
De Angelo made a wonderful job in compiling all the theoretical basis, both scientific and philosophical for you to become a real man (jerk). Though you can manage to have success in becoming a jerk even if you don’t read him, the insights and knowledge that he offered will help you in understanding why your actions work. Aside from that, his this material is a great additional tool when you teach the art of jerkness to other men.
5. Men are Mars Women Are from Venus (John Gray)
Ha! You wonder why this one is here? Okay, I will tell it to you now! The only reason why I put this book in here is for you to know or have any idea what NOT TO DO or what NOT TO BE to become a successful jerk. Just DO THE OPPOSITE of most the things that are written here and you will have a clear sense of WHAT A JERK IS AND WHAT A JERK IS NOT. The topic of identifying and using CONTRAST in your Art Studies will be useful here! :D
_______________________
My disclaimer is don’t read these book if you are reading it only for the purpose of entertainment or even for the purpose of mere academic. The books are nonsense if you don’t apply it to the real world. As Tyler Durden of Real Social Dynamics would say, “You will be going to clubs with your mini notebook taking down notes while flirting only to the bartender while you spend all of your time observing other men to pick up women, while you are criticizing their moves as if you are way above them.” — in short the study of seduction in your ivory tower.
Only five books for now, I will continue reading and reviewing other books in the future. If you are new in the game, I suggest you start with the books above.
Keep it light men!
