This book was fucking shit

>>21756412
Crazy how this guy got his start as a half-baked PUA blogger who had a mildly successful seduction book but he wrote this and blew up to become a decamillionaire.
The book is shit btw., but I have to say that the title is an expertly chosen attention-grabber that probably explains 95% of the book's success.

Okay, I'll bite. How.

I listened to this while jogging for a while and it's unironically one of the dumbest books ever. If you want to read a good book - get Center for Applied Rationality Workshop Handbook. It's free.

I read that book years ago and i dont remember anything about it. Not really sure whats the difference between that book and the millions of other self help books

i want to kill myself!

literal redditcore, do you happen to be a homosexual OP?

I heard Book of Pook was better than Models.
At least, that's what they said on plebbit the red pill. Even then, I enjoyed Roosh's Return of Kings much more than the Red Pill.

How do you reply to a friend when he says he's reading that book?
This motherfucker was acting like he was obtaining actual wisdom from it. I wanted to call him a faggot but I haven't read the book myself so how could I possibly know the book's shit?

That guy was a literal buzzkill and obviously didn’t know what he was talking about. More pseudo philosopher bullshit with no citations.

i made the mistake of listening to the audiobook for it when i was commuting and it's shitter than you can probably imagine just from the title alone. all of the shitty self help cliches that you can think of pop up in it but the gimmick is the guy is COOL and says fuck a lot
modern self help books are a meme and any true wisdom should be sought from things that have stood the test of time, not propped up on bestseller lists because it's edgy. your instincts are right and yes your friend is a faggot

>>21756412
You know what would change your life even more?
Stopping wasting your time on 4chan and starting to actually reading books, you lazy fuck!

>marcus aurelius
the one whose wife couldn't stop fucking gladiators?

>>21757504
Simply tell him there are historical philosophical works which deal with the same subject.

>>21758550
This is what I usually do. Someone tells me they're reading a book on leadership from some faggot who is like a manager at Costco or whatever, I always tell them you know there are writings from actual great leaders you can read right?

Yeah it's not bad

Models is highly derivative of the PUA scene at the time. He just put a PC spin on it.

>>21756412
Holy fr**king sh*t, this book is so f***ing good my fellow r/essentialreading member ;)
