Happy Friday gents! Just hit 226lbs (down 89! Awwww yeah) and feeling under the weather so I thought I would write up a quick list of some red pill themed/tinged literature I have read since finding this sub. Hope this is useful - if you have any recommendations of your own, share (pretty please with a fuckin cherry on top).

One cool note: One of my favorite things about being Alpha is realizing that there are many flavors of Alpha that you can choose from. You can be yourself guys. In my mind an Eagle Scout is as badass as a biker or a rockstar. It’s all about your frame. Even white knight douches have a place; you can go from a beta white knight to a Guardian. As you will see, some of these books appeal to different alpha personalities.

Bang by Roosh – Extremely basic, recommended for virgins, spergs and guys in high school. I am not insulting Roosh, if you are one of the guys in those categories you will gain a lot from this book. But if you are a guy who can get laid (maybe not with the hotties you want or all the time, but can pull occasionally), a lot of this will seem redundant. For those that don’t know how to talk to chicks at all, have never taken a bra off, etc. this book will be a helpful read.

Mystery Method by Mystery – The goddamn bible, start here lol. Some of this stuff will fly over your head if you are not out gaming on the reg but once you are, you will recognize/remember his words haha. This is one I will be rereading soon, as I have finally mastered how to pull a one night stand (i.e. defeat ASD cuz chicks get the provider vibe from me and want to make me wait past the first night. Once you know how to short-circuit that, it’s on baby). I want to reread because this book is a very rich resource.

48 Laws of Power by Robert Greene – This one was great, very long but worth finishing. The things I learned the most were “act like a Prince” and “Don’t outshine the master.” Acting like a Prince is highly recommended by the esteemed Rollo and CH; consult their archives. Don’t outshine the master taught me to defer in certain situations to other men, something that seems against my nature (being a devil may care badass). This was key to calibration. After finding the redpill I went a little…overboard in demonstrating I was the most interesting man in the room. Learn when to defer to certain people if it can get you further than if you had insulted them (which is one of several techniques recommended by YaReally; aka dealing with AMOGs). Especially suited for Asshole/Machiavellian types (Lets just call a spade a spade; if you like Roissy, you will like this book).

Unlimited Power by Tony Robbins – Goddamn I love this book. By far, this book helped me the most toward getting my internals working. Picturing yourself succeeding before you attempt something is a simple but very effective method of increasing your confidence. It works guys, I fucking swear. Also, replacing repetitive, annoying sad thoughts/mental images in your head with goals/images of you WINNING. People talk shit but this guy deserves all the cash he made. Recommended for all men.

Emotional Intelligence by Daniel Goleman – Ok this one ended up kind of being bullshit but it was helpful in introducing me to a lot of terms for parts of the brain and body; this in turn made it much easier to digest other books like What Every Body is Saying (the limbic system don’t lie so rely on it for Attraction Indicators and check how you are coming off to others). I had hoped this book would teach me to better hide/control my emotions (better poker face, greater ability to not be bothered/affected by irrational females). Instead its mostly blue pill shit about how emotional intelligence (sensing pain in others, having empathy) is just as valuable as intellectual intelligence. In effect, the author argues that the emotional (female) is equal or better than the logical (male).

The Art of War by Sun Tzu – Short and sweet. Make sure you get a decent translation (or hell, find it somewhere online for free). I think the most valuable thing I took from this book is that Men have been thinking this analytically for thousands of years! Made me proud to be a man. Recommended for military-minded men/men who enjoy analytical thinking/strategy in general.

The Kama Sutra by Dot head indians lol – not a lot of reading but still very interesting lol will definitely implove your sex life, show bitches you are not a vanilla lover and will definitely make your back stronger. I’ve had a couple girls notice it, pull it off shelf and make suggestions for immediate use lol. Never bad to have this one on your bookshelf fellas.

Might is Right by Ragnar Redbeard – Holy shit, this is probably my favorite discovery. This book was apparently used in parts by LeVey when he wrote the Satanic Bible (haven’t read it yet but it’s on the list). This book will make your hand curl into a fist and long for war. Very interesting insights on Women but the parts that made me fall in love were the treatises on how the nature of man is war (reminded me of Judge Holden from Blood Meridian) and the absolute cold bloodedness of Nature. See Nature is beautiful because Nature only cares about the winners. Survival of the fittest, not “everybody get a ribbon.” This book is straight up an affront to the pussy ass sensibilities of modern wymyn and beta white knights. Therefore highly, HIGHLY recommended.

Meditations by Marcus Aurelius - Lol I read this book right after reading Might is Right…two very different sides of the coin. Whereas Might is Right advocates taking what you want, stomping on weaklings/pussies and being a complete savage, this book advocates kindness, deferring to others, humility and other “guardian” alpha qualities. I wasn’t into that shit at the time lol so I connected much more with Aurelius’ ideas on self-analysis and Nature. See if you focus on the concept of “follow your nature” (i.e. be what you were born to be; whatever that is), Ragnar Redbeard and Marcus Aurelius have a lot in common. Most men don’t even attempt to find what their true nature is, let alone live in a way that is in harmony with their nature. As we are all aware, currently Blue pill men follow the goddamn Feminine Imperative by default…(which is literally an affront to Nature lol)

On Self Reliance by Ralph Waldo Emerson – This is a short essay. Reminiscent of Aurelius’ Meditations in that following Nature and self-analysis are the keystones of Emerson’s argument. Definitely a worthwhile read and easy to find online for free.

Beyond Good and Evil by Friedrich Nietzsche – At times convoluted, occasionally confusing if you are not a philosophy major but goddamn this guy had his pulse on how women operate and the men that let them act like fools. I found similar interesting arguments on these topics in another of his works, “Thus Spoke Zarathustra” but I gave up on that one lol hopefully I will come back to it.

The Wisdom of Psychopaths by Kevin Dutton – Mostly interesting because it helps you understand your own dark triad qualities and the benefits they bring. Some great quotes but the author goes up his own ass frequently, inserting himself into the text via useless asides (bro I don’t give a shit if you ate rattlesnake tacos while conversing with some of your contemporaries, stay on course lol). My favorite thing about the book was the closing poem on moths being drawn to the flame (I am definitely a moth haha). Recommended for Dark Triad type guys but like I said your gonna want to skip some pages/passages.

How to Win Friends and Influence People by Dale Carnegie – Ok this one is will most benefit “nice guy” (I prefer the term “Guardian”) alphas. Guys who still think that being nice is the best way to go. I mostly used this book to increase fake charm; helped me understand more clearly the importance of remembering people’s names, letting people talk about their favorite subject (themselves) and how to subtly manipulate people into getting what you want (kinda like women lol; in fact, this book is very feminine in that way but always good to understand the enemies tactics). Also, the chapter on smiling will make you smile :)

The Way of Men by Jack Donovan – This one is HIGHLY recommended. Short and to the point. A little reminiscent of Palahnuik’s writing style in Fight Club, it really cuts to the core of the problem: Modern men have no reason to act like men anymore. Its that simple. Strength. Courage. Mastery. Honor. These are core concepts of the book and the core concepts of being a real man. This book will make you want to ACT not think or speak, which is a beautiful thing boys. We need a war, a mass culling like nobody’s business. Kill all the losers and weaklings, pump fresh alpha genetics back into the world and reset the clock. The zombie apocalypse can’t come fast enough…

What Every Body is Saying by Joe Navarro – I was surprised how much I liked this book. You will see a lot of things you know from every day interactions and will instantly understand why people (including yourself) do them. I had already greatly improved my body language to be more alpha (command presence, natural swagger) after finishing this book DAMN I just leveled up lol. Favorite one I will be testing is sub-communications of the legs and feet of chicks while out gaming. (I might even tell the chicks; explain how I know they are long time friends or are lying; like a parlor game. Kind of like some Style/Mystery chick crack type games in that women will be intrigued by your understanding of something “mystical” lol)

Baby, I Don’t Care by Lee Server – This is an biography on actor Robert Mitchum, the original alpha badboy. I mean before Elvis, before Brando, before any rockstar this guy was banging bitches 2 at a time and not giving a fuck, getting into brawls, drugs and boozing. Very long and specific so if your not a fan of his, good luck lol but jesus, the anecdotes perfectly illustrate that if you act entitled you can get away with murder. My favorite part of the book is the author and seemingly every single interviewee’s unending sympathy for Mitchum’s long suffering wife. None can seem to understand how she put up with all the affairs, all the cheating right in her face. With a red pill lens, I think I cracked the case: Robert Mitchum made her hypergamy kick in so hard her hamster had no choice but to create justifications for staying with him, lest a “lesser” (different) women would end up with him. Like they say, a bitch will fight and claw for 10% of a high quality man, but will reject 100% of a low quality man (or like Rollo says, they will invent justifications for your bad behavior if you are alpha and invent rules and restrictions if you are beta).

Currently reading:

The Manipulated Man by Esther Vilar – Very hard to track down for some reason. Probably the most honest woman I have ever read on the topic of women. I am always skeptical of any woman talking/writing about what a Man thinks. Currently ¾ done and I agree with a lot of it. The main problem with this text is its age; it presupposes women staying home as the default instead of coming from a modern place where women are not only in the workplace, but are taking it over.

The Rational Male by Rollo Tomassi (The book, not the blog; going to order his new one, "Preventative Medicine" soon) – Exactly as good as I expected so far lol. Currently in Chapter 2. Rollo is the clearest voice in the manosphere (aside from CH, but some find Roissy's caustic/sarcastic/at times misanthropic writing style to be “juvenile; fuck em if they can’t take a joke or the shiv of truth). if you guys read the red pill sub, you probably read Rollo's blog. Cough up a few bucks for Mr Tomassi, its well written so far and it would be fitting tribute to him for all the free articles he posts on his website, which he intentionally refuses to advertise on (I respect Rollo and CH for that alone; Return of Kings is losing some credibility due to all the ads and articles that are obvious plants).

The International Jew by Henry Ford (Yes that Henry Ford) – Found via mentions on Return of Kings and CH comments section. Had to get it from the American Nazi party website lol. About 60 pages in and I have to say, pretty damned interesting…

Next:

Winning through Intimidation by Robert Ringer

The Descent of Man by Charles Darwin

The Story of O by Pauline Réage (AKA the book where Roissy got his name!)
