Book Reviews of The Way of the Superior Man

Book Review: Changed my life--if only I had discovered it years earlier.
Summary: 5 Stars

This book has given me invaluable insight into what I had done wrong in past relationships.

Just to give an example, in the past, when my girlfriend at the time used to complain to me about her life situation and her job predicament, my first reaction was always to offer her advice as to the best way I saw for her to overcome the obstacles she was dealing with. Curiously, that would just make her more stressed and annoyed. I could not figure out what I was doing wrong--after all, that was the same thing I did when my guy friends told me about their problems. Didn't she want help solving her problems? Why was my advice making her angry?

Years later, after a particularly sharp friend of mine recommended this book, I had a revelation when discovering, thanks to this book's advice, that when women confess their problems to you, they don't actually want you to offer advice like your guy friends do--they just want you to shut up and LISTEN. Applying what I had learned to my current girlfriend, it was almost like I had uncovered the ultimate secret to a successful relationship. The difference in her reaction was like night and day.

Anyway, this is one of three books that were recommended to me that basically changed my life for the better. The other two are The Red Queen, which is about evolutionary psychology, and Mystery Method. To these three books I am forever indebted.
