!~How to Win Friends and Influence People~!
I just finished reading one of the most inspiring, informative, fulfilling, and useful books in my life and I don't think I'll ever come across a book as complete as this in a long time. I am bold enough to say this book is better than any "PUA", self-help, or psychology writing on how to deal with people.
This book is all for outer game. In fact, to me, this book teaches exactly HOW to be assertive (like in Dr. Paul's MindOS). Knowing how to be effectively assertive is FAR more useful than being aggressive, timidly-assertive or passive.
Dale Carnegie, the author, tells us thee most important aspect in dealing with people is making the other person feel important. I'll go into this more in a second.
Here are all the Principals:
It does seem like a lot, but its about 230 pages and Dale offers brilliant and exciting stories clarifying EVERY SINGLE ONE of those points. The most important driving force is making the other person feel important. By doing that, the rest is almost common sense.
To truth is, the book is so concise, all I can say is please check out this book. This book is the "How to" for asserting yourself, winning people over, and being nice. In the past, I was always unsure if I was being rude or stepped on people's toes when I gave them criticism or advice. As I read this book, every 10 pages I'd slap myself on the head as I realize I broke so many of these points at every point in my past. (Remember my post about Toastmasters when I gave the guy harsh criticism?)
I feel that if I were to master this book to a good degree, it could take care of my comfort building power. But we'll see.

I heard this book is the second most selling literature behind the Bible. You'd almost expect more people to be socially savvy, but oh well. It takes a lot to implement this new social philosophy, but as Pick Up Artists, it is part of our trade to master this stuff. Every master I have met, in some way, exhibited these points to a much higher degree than normal people.

Great read isn't it. One of my all time favorites. You should also check out "How to talk to anyone" by Leil Lowndes it's like a modern version of Carnegie's book.
So bigsend how would you befriend and get rapport with guys fast?
