The Stylelife Challenge is the manual Strauss, author of Emergency , thought he’d never write: the ultimate guide with concrete dating advice for landing the woman of your dreams, while The Style Diaries takes readers further into the seduction underworld than ever before, and delves where The Game never dared to tread: into the even more complicated rules of relationships. This monthlong workout program for your social, attraction, and seduction skills includes: Confidence Boost: A 30-day challenge designed to move from lonely and desperate to socially fearless, with daily missions to build unshakable self-assurance. Approaching Women: Field-tested scripts and step-by-step guides to eliminate approach anxiety and start conversations anywhere, anytime. Seduction Skills: Go deeper into the seduction underworld than The Game ever dared, with advanced techniques for creating attraction and connection. Dating & Relationships: Move beyond the pickup and learn the even more complicated rules of relationships, with stories and lessons from The Style Diaries . Review: Awesome Book! Highly Recommended! - This may be a stretch, but I think it safe to say that The Game: Penetrating the Secret Society of Pickup Artists by Neil Strauss is one of the most talked about and popular books among men in our generation. I read "The Game" (years ago) and found it hilarious, intriguing, inspiring, and useful all at the same time. I had no idea that "Rules of the Game" existed until a friend told me about it a few weeks ago. Given how great I thought the original book was I had to go out and buy the book. I really like this book. It feels like a cross between a pick-up artist book and a lifestyle change book (leaning much more towards lifestyle change). The book is divided into three areas: The Stylelife Challenge, The Routines Collection, and the Style Diaries. The Stylelife Challenge is a 30 day challenge to help people not just to pick up girls, but improve their lives (especially social lives) in general. Some topics include: Grooming, openers, conversation, getting a number, setting up gatherings, and more. To "win" the challenge you need to get a date. Not have sex, just get a date. I think the challenge has some pretty interesting ideas (one of them is for men to read a "Cosmopolitan" magazine from cover to cover to help get a woman's perspective on men). Although I don't think that some of the events are necessary I do think that the vast majority of them will help anyone socially and are beneficial. Overall I think the Stylelife Challenge has some EXCELLENT strategies that any man who is having trouble with women should read. I have already implemented some of them and have seen some great results. If anyone has read "The Game" they will remember Neil constantly talking about "material." Well, the Routines Collection is some of that material. Various openers, value demonstrations, games, and more are described in great detail. These routines are a great way to engage women (and sometimes groups in general) and keep conversations fresh and interesting. Finally, there are the Style Diaries. You can basically look at this as "The Misadventures of Neil Strauss." They are random stories from his journals. His writing style is still like it was in "The Game," so it is hilarious and graphic, but it does not feel like a sequel and is not nearly as long has "The Game" (The Style Diaries is only a little less than 100 pages vs. The Game's 452 pages). However, it is still definitely entertaining stuff that is worth a read. I've seen some reviewers knock a few stars off because they felt the book was not made for shy people and therefore has no merit. I have to disagree with this (I used to by crazy shy for YEARS). The point of the book is continuous progress. You can't break out of your shyness without at least trying to progress and he has some great exercises to address this problem. While he does not use the word "shy" I feel he implies that he does write from an understanding that most people reading the book are shy. If you are "painfully shy" it may help to read this book first: From Shy To Social: The Shy Man's Guide to Personal & Dating Success in conjunction with other small talk books to help build your social skills. Overall I think this is an excellent book. While the book is made for what he calls "the hardest cases" it is easy to understand how to implement his strategies and know when to scale them accordingly. There are A LOT of useful strategies and tips not just to help men with women, but to live their lives in a more positive way in general. I highly recommend this book not just for men who have problems with women, but for men in general. Review: This book saved my life. - This is the first review I've ever been motivated to write. If I had gotten to read this and The Game 17 years ago at age 14, my life would have taken a more positive route. I would say up until last May, I was in the VBAFC category (very below average frustrated chump). I won't go into too many details of my life, but I suffer from a nasty biological illness known as Borderline Personality Disorder. Up until last May when I was diagnosed I never had any idea of what was holding me back. When I looked into dating books along with the dialectical behavior therapy stuff I came across The Game, which told me what truly is possible. This book, told me HOW to make that possible. I came face to face with my own worst enemy and learned how to attack my anxiety and depression at its root source. The exercises helped combat my social anxiety, while the write-ups in the briefings helped me master my inner game. In barely 2 months, I turned everything around...and blew everyone away at the complete 180. This book recommended Intro to NLP and Mastering Your Hidden Self that took my improvements even further. I have this book on my nightstand and have all of the briefing articles and read at least 4 of them daily. If one applies themselves, they can change their way of thinking and their reality. Because of my "disorder" I considered myself probably in the worst case scenario category. While none of this was marketed as medical advice, it changed everything. I now feel I've made a complete recovery and I look forward to every opportunity I go somewhere I can potentially meet women. This book will only help you if you WANT to change and are willing, able and ready to APPLY what you learn. I've recommended this book as well as david deangelos video seminars to my AFC friends. While some of them chose to remain AFCs, the ones who took my advice made 180s themselves. I can't think of a reason not to recommend this book. Again, this is something I wish I had much earlier. But since I barely turned 30, I know that my 30s are going to be one kick ass decade. :) Thanks Neil ## Features - Rules of the Game By Strauss Neil ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | Best Sellers Rank | #93,144 in Books ( See Top 100 in Books ) #332 in Interpersonal Relations (Books) #345 in Love & Romance (Books) #2,751 in Memoirs (Books) | | Customer Reviews | 4.2 out of 5 stars 1,134 Reviews | ## Images ![Rules of the Game - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/81KsEnkG8lS.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Awesome Book!

The system this book follows is truly groundbreaking. It may sound weird, but you see a girl you'd like to approach, following this system truly gives you the highest possible chance of actually getting somewhere with said girl. After not that long, you'll atleast be able to be friends with any woman you want, then again, I'm only on about day 10 out of 30 so I've only worked the beginning parts of the game, but i must say, this system will help the dorkiest fattest dude, or anyone else! long as you got the balls to follow through. ## Frequently Bought Together - Rules of the Game - The Mystery Method: How to Get Beautiful Women Into Bed - By Neil Strauss The Game (Paperback)?2018?
