This might not be the place, but I figure like minded MGTOW people may be in the same vein.

Im looking for a book that touches on understanding myself and others as humans better.

The Rational Male does a great job of going into female human nature, but I want to understand humans better so it is easier for me to navigate life and not get thrown for so many loops. The rational male made me realize how blind I was to how people(women) act on a psychological level and I want to get better at humans not affecting me.

I just started The Laws of Human Nature, but its 25 hours and already has a bunch of fluff. I don't think I can make it through. IS there anything straight to the point. Ive already read a bunch of self improvement books, but it would be great to find the rational male equivalent to human nature. It's a book that just nailed it on every page, and Im tired of self improvement books that aren't on that level stuffed with too much fluff.

Edit: I think much of the information out there wants to sugar coat how the world is. It wants to appeal to being noble in psychology and not honest. It wants to see the world through the matrix and how the world seems to be. Im looking for a book that sees through the rose colored glasses and gets honest. Theres been so many wars the past century and the matrix wants us to think we live in a 'good' world, but really we are a bunch of animals and I want to know how and why we act without the bullshitting.

Thanks in advance!
