self help general? I dont have the links edition
personally Im just looking for websites/books/etc that have generally interesting topics or people come and discuss things. I like the joe rogan podcast, because a variety of interesting guests come on and talk about things they know a lot about or are passionate about. I just like diversifying myself a little bit. Looking to try out some new things in life. So any websites/books/etc you guys could recommend would be great.
Book of Pook

Favorite it.

this seems geared almost entirely towards relationships with women from the contents. Is that all this is?
How do I quit visiting this place? I feel like visiting this shithole is my replacement for relationships because I don't have any. Not even internet friends since I quit playing vidya. I currently have two contacts on whatsapp and most of the time they don't really want to chat with an autist like me. The idea of getting friends seems a bit far-fetched because I've been friendless for uh.. seven years now I think.
desu I can't even eat my meals without opening my phone or browsing useless websites.

Finding a hobby that involves others can help. You then have something to work with around others, and it'll be a mutual interest you share with them.
If you are at uni or going into uni i highly recommend you take a beginning acting/drama class great way to get comfortable in your akin and know how to talk and keep eye contact
A friend recommended me this and last semester i did and it was great and helped out a lot, and got to meet some qt's
>>34993955
Nope, the moral of the story is fuck girls, work on yourself. Usually when people say that you brush it off because it doesn't seem realistic. This book will help you see. I highly recommend it, and I'm not the person you just posted it.
>>34993830
this is a great one indeed
>>34993955
No it's about being happy with yourself and what you need to do to get women and understanding them to some level. For example the Womanese thing is so true it hurts. I was dating this girl and i thought she was great and after a while we where at the point of 'what are we' after a month of dating and she was like i'm not ready for a relationship bla bla and later she broke it off because she liked someone else. The womanese was i'm not looking for a relationship what it actually is i'm not looking for a relationship with YOU. And there are more examples in the book
>>34993788
Look up the book 'How to win friends and influence people'. I'm serious. It has good insight
>>34994192
get some books to read? you can always talk about like the larger subjects within the books to other ppl.
if you want a good one to start with, "Zen and Art of Motorcycle Maintenance" is pretty good book, not much about motorcycles, more about outlooks of life, with bits and parts of Zen mixed in, I have the ePub that i read in iBooks with.
yeah i don't talk to that many people either, most of my friends in RL, don't hit me up any more, theres only 2 people that call me, one my study partner, and my parents. I still upgraded my phone to the iDank 6shit, was worth it tho, takes nice pics.
- love Anon
-ps thx 4 reading my blog, make sure you follow.

Yeah this has worked for me before. Last summer I wanted to start playing tennis again but I had no idea how to find someone to play with. So I went to the courts and started practicing my serve. After practicing daily for couple of weeks, some old pal came to chat with me and we became tennis buddies. Unfortunately, it's snowing right now so I suppose I just have to wait for summer before I get to play more tennis.
t b h I can't think of any other hobby I could try. I mean the only reason I go to the gym at 6 in the morning is because nobody is ever there. Being around other people feels very awkward. Oh lord, I done fucked up bad..
Luckily I have a part time job so sometimes I get to interact with other people. desu usually I don't say anything.
>>34993788
OP meditation is pretty powerful. Its pretty hard to get into at first, just like anything new but it really helps you out a lot in life if you do it seriously and consistently.
"Mindfulness in plain english" is a good one you can find online for free. I also recommend any book on buddhism, just to understand the four noble thruths and the eightfold path. Im not saying become a hardcore buddhist or something, but just take it as philosophy(which is what all religion really is)
>>34994327
I knew a few kids who talked about that book and they were both pretty douchey and had issues. I mean just by the title it sounds to me like its something thats gonna steer you in the wrong direction.
>>34994323
Right in the feels.
>>34994469
yes when i reflect that time to the book i made many mistakes. For example there's a line that women want a free bird and not the caged one( basically they want what they can't have) I made myself to emotionally available to soon and basically she 'had' me and bam weeks later it's over because she gets feeling for a other guy( she doesn't have yet)
>>34994426
Not really. Those kids don't know how to utilize it in the proper way. It's nothing about controlling others, its about being empathetic with people and being genuinely interested and caring to others. Hell the very start of the book basically says that you need to work on yourself first before you can go on to the next steps.
It was written back when Teddy was alive (if I remember right) but a lot of people read it today and don't actually do what they're fucking supposed to. Or they read it because " so-and-so-ceo" read it so they think it makes them look intelligent.
>>34994560
ah, well yea that doesnt sound bad. The kids i knew would say shit more along the lines of taking(faking) an interest in what the person is saying to get them to like you.
>>34994616
They're fucking retarded, and manipulative assholes. It's about being genuine. Not faking it.
>>34994628
yea they were and even then i dont think it worked too well for them unless the person was really fucking beta
Thanks for clearing that up though
>>34993830
rip Pook
>>34994692
Whatever happened to him? I like to think he found his dream girl, put all the sosuave shit past him, and lived happily ever after.
>>34993830
What's a Pook? I feel stupid reading this word every other 5 words.
>>34994327
This is more geared toward professional relationships, but it's still a good read. Talks about how to be an honest person and how to interact with people in sympathetic and genuine ways.
Any good non-fiction books youd guys recommend? Other than meditations. Read meditations but didnt love the format really. It seemed like good stuff but it was just so many jumbled thoughts and ideas, etc, and it was hard to try and remember the lessons or ideas from all of them.
>>34994845
Pook is your guide to discovering your masculinity. (It's also the guys username on the sosuave forum. No one actually knows who he is or anything about him.)
>>34994900
Yeah, I read it over twice last week. Working on being more empathetic to others since I have a general distrust of people. Shitty childhood, blah blah blah.
>>34994929
No More Mr. Nice Guy really helped me become aware and correct some of my beta behaviors.}
Also these:
>The Charisma Myth
>Gorilla Mindset
helpful and to the point. Both are more "how to" than actual self helf books.

I'm doing noporn and reading is definitely helping me mentally. I'm reading Jurassic Park and its pretty cool since there are things not in the movie.
>>34995195
>since there are things not in the movie.
Try reading Stephen King's IT when you're done with that. There' so much shit in the book that wasn't in that crappy made for TV adaption.
why is half the stuff in this thread things relating to picking up women or whatever? I dont want to read about "how to be alpha". I dont want to read about how to better myself, I want to ACTUALLY do the bettering of myself. Am I going nuts? Why all the reading recommendations about improving your social skills and trying to be cool?
>>34995524
People think that learning how to get with women will improve their lives. I think self improvement is if you want to be happy and content with yourself. You'll attract women anyway if you're the latter.
Don't really have anything to add but I love the JRE too OP. I listen to it every day on my commute and people think I'm crazy I laugh so much. For example, the guy breakdancing in his shit in the psych ward.
>>34995509
Haven't seen the movie but I'll definitely check out the book, thanks m8.
>>34995602
exactly what Im saying. I have no problem with women and I dont want to read or learn anything about women. I want to listen to experts talk about their respective fields, I want to educate myself well on a certain aspect of history or type of science. That sorta thing. Not how to interpret what a girl texts you.

Self help is a scam, get out before you blow too much money on it. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Self-help#Criticism
It's fiction, but Siddhartha is one of my favorite books. It's a western interpretation of the Buddha narrative.
>>34995524
Okay then fucking do it? You're not though, right? Because you don't know how. That's why you're here lurking in a thread looking for an answer that will change your life or at least your mindset. Well, you're not gonna find it here. But you might get something useful from a book written specifically for this purpose. Read Book of Pook.

thanks for these mate, just spent the last 90mins or so having a lot of fun with these.
