I’ve always liked the theory of the book. But it didn’t really do it for me .... so. I will recommend two books that have been important in my life.

No more mr nice guy.

Think and grow rich.

It’s dated and has a lot what I would call common sense in it, however if you’re painfully not a people person it’s worth it. Very BP but you have to play nice in a professional environment.

Is it blue-pilled?

Some would argue comfort tests are blue pilled. Theories and techniques are simply tools to guide you towards an end. Whether that end is blue or red-pilled is entirely up to you.

Is this book really that good and effective?

Try it u/goldenrocky. I could give you all sorts of examples of practically benefitting from the theoretical tenets I took away. That however won't convince you to try them. That; oddly enough; is entirely up to you.

Godspeed and good luck!

Just read the title. How to win FRIENDS. It's good advice when applied in the intended way. Just remember that what women want in a FRIEND and a MATE are not the same.

It's not blue-pilled but if you try to apply it while having a blue-pilled mindset and use the tactics of how to win friends on women you will end up friendzoned or BB

It's good for business purposes only. Do not do what I did in my blue pill ways and try to use the same tactics with girls.

It seemed a bit outdated to me.

I found it useful. I try to use its principles in conversation and I was a good conversationalist before I read it. I think you get more out of it the better you get at it.

INNASKILLZ2K18 · 2019-04-14T04:30:54+00:00

Yeah, this is ok in a workplace/business sense.

It's very dated and you want to read a lot more. It's good when combined with 48 Laws of Power, in my experience.

It's good for building relationships, rapport and first impressions.

It's not really what I would call Red Pill, but an early introduction into being aware of how you interact

Yes it is a very good book on influencing people & building good relationships. Especially for work & career. If you learn a bit about people and remember a few specific facts. I.e. pets, hobbies etc. It can pay off if the long run. That was my key take away.

It works a treat in modern business because people or driven by their own outcomes they can’t see anything but the most direct route. Which may not be the quickest or most beneficial in the long run.

It is neither red pill or blue pill. It’s knowledge. How you apply that knowledge can be blue or red.

It's good but it's a bit blue pill. I still do some of the habits the book instructs like smile alot, straight posture, have a genuine conversation etc.

It’s a good starter book. I wouldn’t dismiss it.

lolurfucked · 2019-04-13T23:53:27+00:00

ditch that book and go read 48 laws of power

anything from Robert Green is a masterpiece

he confronts the reality in a brutal way

and teaches you to use it in a machiavellian way
