There's a lot of crap out there, here's the three books I've read that actually helped me on my journey
1. The Art of
Seduction- Can totally change how you see the world.
This book had a major impact on the pickup community, and for good reason-
it uses historical examples of how some of the greatest people of history gained power
or were dominated by seduction.
It lacks practicality, but in terms of a book that can improve your mindset, there's none better.
You were asking for my favourites but you already mentioned it. No, I´m serious. This book is such a great advice for all buddys out there who want to start as a PUA or want to improve theire game.
So definitely have a look on the Art of seduction.
