I’m not going to be using my computer a lot this year and it would bea waste if this mindmap I made just sat on a HD never being used.It’s basically a run down of what I saw as the core elements of the book,it’s not completely finished and comes from the second last revision ofthe book. Since then Mark’s changed the terms non-neediness andneediness into confidence and false confidence (and some other things)Before you even BOTHER reading the mind-map or the book readthese articles:http://markmanson.net/a-note-on-vulnerabilityhttp://markmanson.net/power-in-vulnerabilityhttp://markmanson.net/vulnerabilityMark added them in after making the book (that’swhere he fucked up) but the point is that ‘beingvulnerable’ isn’t attractive if under the surface levelyou’re still needy (or have false confidence)”Until you get comfortable with being alone, you’ll never know if you’re choosing someone out of love or loneliness.” -Mandy HaleThat’s why it’s the second half of the book that you shouldapply before the first half (Creating an attractive and appealing lifestyleand being comfortable being single)Because it’s about how comfortable you feel when you’re willing to make yourself vulnerable – that’s attractive.All in all this book is good because it removes a lot of the gameplaying, stops you from being a ‘try hard’, ‘fake alpha’ and from havingto prove yourself (a long with other things) but if you want to actuallyapproach a girl that’s hovering around you and interact with herI suggest you read The 50th Law or The 4 elements of game.This is less practical, more philosophic and about lifestyle. The othertwo books will give you some ‘methods’ for AA or inspire you tomove passed it.I also added an icon file I personally use on my desktop
