The Essentials

There’s a lot of stuff out there. I haven’t seen or read most of it. I’ve read a lot of crap and seen a lot of useful things. Some things pointed me in the right directions and some pushed me way off course. The following is my list of the essentials: a culled down list representing the straight arrow hammer to greatness. Read/watch them in this order:

1. Neil Strauss - The Game (Book). Reading The Game is like the moment Morpheus tells Neo the Matrix exists. It doesn’t tell us how to get to the Matrix, how to play in the Matrix, or how to win, it just tells us its there.

2. Mystery - The Venusian Arts Handbook (the ebook, not that thing they sell on Amazon). The most concise pickup book ever written. Every page is essential. So perfectly organized, Mr. Dewey would be amazed.

3. The Mystery Method - The Mystery Method (DVD). Completely disorganized, but well worth the effort. After reading The Game, I was dying with curiosity of who is this Mystery guy. Although the information and techniques are outdated, you cannot learn art without learning art history.

4. Real Social Dynamics – Foundations (DVD). Always watch the videos/DVDs instead of listening to the audio. The majority of the information is actually how the presenter acts, his body motions, his tone, and facial expressions. An audio file can’t show these things. Study a person and learn more than just the words coming out of their mouth. Anyway, this is another RSD-blow-your-mind-program that takes months to settle in your brain. All men will become a better and strong person after watching this.

5. David Deida - The Way of the Superior Man (Book). No book has ever changed my life like this one. The ideas and concepts are revolutionary. This should be required reading for all males

6. Real Social Dynamics - The Jeffy Show (DVD). I haven’t finished watching these, but so far, Jeffy’s insights, stories, and mind frame have blown my mind and reshaped it into greatness.


Other stuff that’s useful, but not required:
A. Neil Strauss - The Rules of the Game (The Stylelife Challenge)
B. Tucker Max - I Hope They Serve Beer in Hell
C. Neil Strauss - The Annihilation Method
D. Real Social Dynamics - Transformations
