Hey guys,

I'm looking for a book to read to improve my game.

1st... Does NLP really help with your game? to what extent? is it worth focusing on if my main goal is to improve my game, or should I focus on something else?

2nd... If you think that NLP works and all that... What book do you recommend for reading to where it actually makes sense and enables me to use this aspect on the field?

Thanks for the advice

1st. NLP is a very interesting topic that can help improve all sorts of social interactions. As far as it relates to "game", there is a sub-forum on NLP on this forum for a reason...

2nd. There's a sticky called "Where can I learn NLP" If you're interested in learning NLP, it would seem that may be a good place to check up on resources (such as books) for learning NLP.

Okay well, here is my experience as far improving game goes, and I will illustrate it with the following "parable".

would-be PUA#1 is socially very shy and feels awkward, then picks up a bunch of NLP-related books or other, and improves his game that way.

would-be PUA#2 is socially very shy as well, but has another problem: his bedroom abilities suck, and so he picks up a book on effective love making, becoming multi-orgasmic, giving women multiple orgasms, and so on, and in the course of trying his new-found skills on a bunch of OLD girl friends his confidence in his abilities go through the roof and that in turn affects his social life and his game.

would-be PUA#3 is socially very shy, but then so happens to set up his own business and through learning to negotiate for his business and build confidence with his presentations, one-on-one meetings, etc. he builds his assertiveness, his confidence, his grasp on human psychology, and that eventually leaks into his game, improving it dramatically (not to mention the confidence the wealth gives him).

See, there is no one-route to where you want to go. NLP in my opinion should be just one of other aspects one can and should improve on, which gives your inner game a more well-rounded boost.

Books that I would definitely recommend:

- ANY of David Shade's works on sexual skills
- ANY of Zan Perrion's works on Natural Game
- One eBook I am reading now called "The Secret Potency Report" by Riccardo Gueli (google it). HUGE HUGE eye-opener for me as far as the effect of diet goes on inner (and outer) game.

Yes that business route applies to me. I worked hard on my own online business and as I became more successful, my confidence and self esteem and feelings of strength and assertiveness went to an all time high.

Now I am studying speed seduction, and even though SS is not everything, it's still giving me a feeling that I will have a great power, an "ace in the hole," and that is giving me more confidence. It feels like it will be a strong weapon that I can rely on and have more power and control over my destiny instead of being at the mercy of these girls and whatever they feel like doing or not doing.

As for what ONE book to study, I don't believe in studying just one book or one audio course. I am studying all the good ones that I can find. This is a hard subject and I need all the help I can get. I want to be really good at this.

I don't know why everybody besides me is recommending so many NLP books.
Shouldn't you study speed seduction instead of NLP?

BTW, How do I get the 1999 Los Angeles SS seminar?
