Dude, I don't think its out until December 18th. When I'm done reading it then I'll let you know. It looks like this one is more about the actual theory, and has a 30 day challenge. It also has Style's diary, from his experiences. I think that regardless how they compare, you should probably get both. They look completely different.

It is actually 2 books, one of the books is a set of rules for pick up and a 30 day challenge type of thing. the other one is sort of like a personal diary or stories about the game, i'm not sure. I am fairly disappointed by the fact that they don't look as long as his first book "the game". Nevertheless I am excited as well because I enjoy Neil Strauss' writing style along with his stories. I am anxious to see what rules he has devised. You can watch this interview where he briefly talks about his new book coming out December 18. I hope this helped.


scroll to the bottom of the page for the video.

I got it.

It's pretty basic stuff.

The coolest thing about it though, is the book that chronicles his PUA lifestyle.
Lots of failures, anecdotes, and love stories.

Besides, the challenge is pretty thorough.

ive read the diary part (the black book) in its entirety and it's actually quite amazing and inspiring. the rules he lays out make total sense and he has a little story along with every rule and they are very fun to read. great emotional trip.

I actually disagreed with one of the rules when i just read the title of it: Know the territory before taking the journey. I normally say that you should explore first and find stuff out as you go along, but you can't take every situation like that... when i read the story that demonstrated that rule i was like "wow...yeah...ok. that's pretty damn intense."

i havent delved much into the white book yet.

I've received this new one today, my brother bought it for me, it basically says FORGET EVERYTHING YOU HAVE EVER LEARNT FROM DATING.

Then do this one day at a time for 30 days, and at the end you will be abe to get any girl you want.

Well, pick it up on Amazon for $15.57. I got it and I think it's worth the money and a nice follow up to The Game.

Its pretty much the How - To & How Not To Book as Style describes it.
Although I have not finished it, Ive been doing the Style Challenge, series of Missions in 30 days. The missions are quite easy, and basic to do if you're willing to do them. Style describes the prize is the date. You may win it within the 30 days period span.

I thoroughly enjoyed 'The Game', but this book is useless and a total waste of time and money.

The first book contains nothing new and consists of material freely available on the web. A true copy and paste job.

The second book is uninteresting, uninspiring and seems like it has been rushed together. It has no order and it's message is dissapointing.

I rate this book a 1 out of 10. I rate it's marketing a 10/10.

I have come to the conclusion that Neill has given up on the community and is at a stage now where he is simply cashing in on his former life.

In my view Neill Strauss is a total sell out.

In other words, you really didn't take an accurate look at the books. I've got them also, and they are well worth the money. The challenge book has some great insights in it that any noob would do WELL to learn, and even some more advanced guys could benefit from.

I even had an excerpt of some of it on the forum before we lost 5 days of work. There are insights in that book alone that guys that have been on this forum for over a year honestly don't know.

Agreed.

"The Game" imo tells a story how how he became a pickup artist, and maybe some of how he did it.

But pretty much "The Rules of the Game" is the instructions on becoming one.

Please correct me if im wrong here.
