1st time author, 1st time narrator = lame fiction

3 stars for decent structure & grammar. Everything else, from content to production quality is between 1 & 2 stars.

The material is Beyond WEAK. Nearly every line starts w complimenting some random woman's appearance, which any middling vet knows is the absolute last thing u wanna do!! Seriously, Beautiful women HATE that!

2nd. knowing how to read & write a foreign language, without having any concept of what it means, or being able to speak what u somehow know how to read... Come on, seriously?... I call BS!!

Has the narrator never heard of "Post Production"/ editing /pdf view??? Pretty annoying to hear those pages turning every 30 seconds or so... Otherwise, not too bad (speaking voice & annunciation etc.)

Overall, I'd say if you're in Jr high, or have never spoken to a woman / human being before; there's a SMALL chance u might actually benefit from this book. Otherwise, save ur money & look for something written by someone who's not a total amateur & completely full of crap. It's blatantly obvious this author wrote this book on a subject he researched online, in his pjs & is just trying to make a few bucks from the comfort of his moms basement. LAME!

Teaching men how to fish.

As the cliché goes, “Give a man a fish, and he eats for a day. Teach a man how to fish, and he eats for the rest of his life.” Yes, I know it’s an overused saying, but I think it perfectly encapsulates what this book was trying to do. Having finished the book, I can finally understand the title. The central theme is about the “art” of approaching women. Towards the end of the book, the writer even refers to himself as a “maestro”. And if that’s the case, then that must mean that the readers are his understudies? Is that what they’re called? I don’t know the technical terms for this, sorry!

Anyway, what I mean to say is that this particular author/maestro wants to help people become as skilled as he is. Instead of just giving them the lines they need to say, he attempts to train his readers. And if I remember correctly, there was a part of the book where he even encourages readers to craft their own lines. In effect, it’s as if he’s teaching the readers how to fish. He goes into detail about why the lines work, where and when they work, and even the underlying principles that form the bases for good lines. Learning all of this means that not only do we now have an abundance of great lines to use, but we are even given the ability to continue creating lines of our own. Ultimately, this means that we technically have an unlimited supply of lines. And honestly speaking, how many of us could say that before we read this book?

Interestingly enough, the cliché about teaching men how to fish also fits in perfectly with another cliché saying, “There’s plenty of fish in the sea.” Keeping that in mind actually makes me grateful that the book is so process-oriented. After all, having only a limited number of lines to use on an almost incalculable number of women in the world means that we would be seriously underprepared and ill-equipped. In summary, the book is an extremely useful resource, which I plan on revisiting time and time again. And maybe that was the maestro’s intention all along because Chapter 2 actually mentioned the continuous and looping process of self-improvement, which would require rereading a few parts of the book.

This is still consistent with the maestro-understudy dynamic because no one’s training is completed all at once. Training and learning are continuous processes, so it could be that reading this book should also become a habit. Again, this is just my personal opinion and speculation. However, you wouldn’t be doing either the book or yourself any justice, just saying!

The Real Deal

So many of these dating books teach a lot of nonsense. But this is the real deal.

generic self improvement tips mixed with bar pickup tips. I bought this with a hope to learn inner game for approach anxiety, but it's minimally helpful.

Versatile advice that takes into account all conte

There’s a lot of emphasis on the fact that there are no “magic formulas” that work no matter what. In truth, this theme is repeated and implied throughout the whole book. Thank goodness that this is established even early on in the book because it definitely revolutionized the way I wanted to improve the way I approached women.

As weird as it may sound, I personally think that the best terms for describing the techniques you can expect to get from this book are “flexible” and “versatile”. It’s probably safe to assume that there’s a general consensus that many facets of dating are relatively subjective. For example, certain responses and reactions would be considered normal in one context or culture, but inappropriate in others. So it makes sense that the guidelines and general rules of thumb should also be as equally “malleable”. I think the book does a good job in this area, and I think I can explain why.

First off, there’s literally a list of various lines to use in various locations. It’s a very detailed system that requires some paying attention to (otherwise you might get confused), but it’s definitely very informative. That section alone already covers a lot of ground, but it would be too much of a stretch to assume that it covers every single possible situation out there, and that takes me to my next point. Secondly, in order to help the readers even in situations that aren’t explicitly mentioned in the book, they are provided with lots of guiding principles that can be shaped and adapted for specific situations.

Sure, there are some fixed rules. For example, Chapter 1 mentioned that a man shouldn’t approach a woman from behind and surprise her, especially if she’s a stranger. It’s a good rule that applies in all contexts. However, dating isn’t comprised of only fixed rules. As the very last chapter of the book emphasizes, there are guiding principles that as long as they’re present, you’ll be able to deal with almost any situation that comes your way. For example, maybe there are certain cultural events that are exclusive to your community. So even though the author has never heard of the cultural event and hasn’t given you the specific lines to use in that situation, he has given you some guiding principles such as, “Be clear and open about your intentions when approaching someone. Be aware of how you’re presenting yourself, etc.”

So armed with even just those general principles, a man won’t be out of his depth no matter where in the world he is or who he’s talking to. If that’s something that you’re interested in, then this would be a great book for you!

Plot twist!

Up until this book, I had no idea it was possible for a non-fiction book to have a plot twist in it. I don’t want to spoil anything, so suffice it to say that this book is filled with surprises (but only good ones!). Obviously, there isn’t really a story or plot within the book itself, because this book isn’t a narrative, it’s a guide. But to be fair, there could be a plot twist in my real life because of everything I’ve acquired from this book.

It’s almost as if your mind and inner person evolve throughout the book, which makes sense in a way because learning can be transformative. So as you go through the book, there’s this sense that more is expected of you as your abilities increase and develop. It’s feels as if you’re undergoing training. You start with the basics, work hard and practice, and keep going as your tasks increase in difficulty. Similarly, the beginning of the book doesn’t involve that much interaction, but eventually, you reach a point in the book where you’re expected to actually put yourself out there. But it’s not overwhelming or too nerve-wracking because you know you’ve got a great coach (the book) behind you who always has your back. Happy reading!

If you leave off "How to Pick-Up Women"

As a woman, my thoughts are: If you leave off ... "How to Pick-Up Women" ... more people would benefit and buy this book. There are good points to be had. The advice is useful for a lot people and situations. Adding the "Pick-Up" I feel, de-values the information somehow. I would recommend this to anyone interested in the art of communication.I was given this free review copy audiobook at my request and have voluntarily left this review.

pretty good book

pretty good book on the basics of how to approach ladies. actually the advise can be applied to anyone just seeking to be more confident talking to anybody not just ladies. there are some good pointers but nothing ground breaking. overall I think it's an ok book to spend your couple hours listening if you are trying to up your game of art of approach.

Useful tips and techniques

I'll begin by making it clear that this widower is well past his days of approaching woman. I saw that this audiobook was on a list of available audiobooks in an audiobook club that I'm a member of. So out of sheer curiosity I decided to listen to it. After listening to this audiobook in its entirety, I must say that it is chock-full of useful tips, techniques and strategies that any young man who is still in the dating field will find very useful. If I were still a young man in the dating field, I'd devour the information in this book and apply the strategies routinely.

Nothing new

This book brings nothing new to the table. If you have common cense, look normal and all ready talk to other people, this book is not necessary.
