Right now I’m maybe 25% through a 10 volume set called the “gateway to the great books.”
Here’s a amazon link for reference: Gateway to the Great Books [10 Volume Set] https://www.amazon.com/dp/B000K078GY/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_i_7aPbCb7NX63C5
And the wiki: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gateway_to_the_Great_Books
I found this little nugget on Kindle last week. Here is the Amazon link.

Sounds awesome. This short term thing you mention is my biggest concern with this kind of book. Maybe that's why I liked "The Power of Habit" so much.
Anyways, will surely read "No Excuses". Thank you!
The guys where doing "great" by their therapists, then I insisted to my guys that they talk about the covert contracts they use (that they don't really know themselves they do).
The typical contract is, if I date a woman is because something is going to happen, I only date a woman for that, not because I want to go out and have fun, and they believe everyone else is going theirs lives around thinking like that. The reality is that you date a girl with no real expectations and you only idea is to have a good time, if you can escalate, great, if not, whatever, you had a great time doing something you wanted to.
Once they started talking about this mental model, their therapists reverted to "yeah thats not ok lets concentrate on that"
At the beginning he tries to explain where the nice guy comes from, family abandon issues, etc. I felt that part was lacking some real investigation, unlike the rest of the book.
I liked the book, it was not for me (I am far from a nice guy) but some NC friends that read it felt it was enlightening.
Some books:
* Predictably Irrational - Dan Ariely
* Organized Mind _ Thinking Straight in the Age of Information Overload - Levitin, Daniel
Great List
I would suggest "The Art of War" and anything by Shakespeare (probably his most RP book would be Richard III)
Its not a coincidence those are the only books in Sean Connery's bookshelf on "The Rock" movie
Go to /r/personalfinance and read The wiki top to bottom. It has good info and a list of books. I recommend this one for anyone starting from square one.
I Will Teach You to Be Rich, Second Edition: No Guilt. No Excuses. No BS. Just a 6-Week Program That Works https://www.amazon.com/dp/1523505745/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_glt_i_Z2GN442TFAZB4GRRBPK1
Sort of that way. But if you like reading, you will not mind reading it. It is very much so like what you mentioned but it is also a bit more. If you want to learn how to effectively communicate I would recommend checking it out. I just finished re-reading it last month and it was okay. I am currently reading Models by Mark Manson and I am absolutely intrigued by it. This book has me entranced, ever since the beginning and I want to find other books similar to it. I don't want this book to end, and I'm half way into it. I just want to stay within this book if that makes sense. It is that interesting. lol. Anyways, best of look.
How was the way of the superior man? That book is under the further reading section of Models. So I will probably check it out later.
Robert Greene's other books are useful as well. The Art of Seduction (while not really a red-pill like strategy, it's a great book examining seduction), and The 50th Law was an extension to 48 LoP. His book on war doesn't really fit here.
I also like "A Guide to the Good Life {the ancient art of stoic joy}" by William B. Irvine.
That certainly makes sense and could be why so many people reading this book consider it boring and unhelpful. For this reason, many editions of The Art of War come with comments by the editor giving examples of actual battles.
My book. I Hope It's Sunny Out.
