Top 5 Most Important Books For Guys
A good book should not only teach me something, but give me interesting topics to talk about, compensating for holes in my life experience. If you’re a 23-year-old virgin who has never approached a girl before, books may be all you have to go on until you catch up (and you definitely need to catch up).
I thought of the books that made a strong impact on me, and that I think would help men out with life and women. I came up with five important books. Here they are in alphabetical order:
MEAN GENES
Why do humans do irrational things? Why are men scared to get rejected? This book offers evolutionary reasons on ten topics: debt, fat, drugs, risk, greed, gender, beauty, infidelity, family, and friends and foes, providing research data to support its claims. Think of this book as a hackers manual to the human mind, teaching you about yourself in the process.

THE 48 LAWS OF POWER
This book has laws on human behavior gleaned from historical examples, such as “Win Through Your Actions, Never Through Argument” and “Make Your Accomplishments Seem Effortless.” Not only do you learn about people but you pick up quite a bit of history as well, more than you probably remember from days in high school or college.
When I read this book at 22-years-old I was blown away, but recently I tried to reread it and felt like I was already familiar with its teachings, telling me that your level of experience will greatly dictate how much you get out of it. An alternate title for this book could be “Human Behavior For Dummies.”

THE PSYCHOLOGY OF INFLUENCE
Consider this book the bible of persuasion. It reviews dozens of studies to teach you what persuades and what doesn’t. It’s applicable to pickup because getting into a girl’s pants is indeed a form of persuasion, and Chapter 6 (Scarcity) will be the most helpful on that front. The other techniques discussed are reciprocity, liking, authority, social proof, and commitment/consistency.

THINK AND GROW RICH
This is the only “self-help” book you’ll ever need to read in your life. It was written about 70 years ago by a man who interviewed over 500 rich men, distilling their wisdom into 13 steps. Even though it’s about money, it’s very easy to change the goal to whatever else you want to focus on, such as women. This book teaches you to use your mind to get what you want instead of gimmicks.

WALDEN
Even if you’ve read this book in high school, it’s worth another look. It’s about a man who set out to live a simple, deliberate life away from modern excess. It contains reflections on human nature, labor, and happiness, giving you more reasons than you’ll ever need to act now and live out your dreams instead of waiting for a tomorrow that may never come. It’s no coincidence that the “here and now” teachings in this book have some overlap with Buddhism.
