Why Men Recommend It
The book men pass to other men
Not a stack of lines or quick fixes. It is a blunt, memorable frame for standards, self-respect, and action.
“I think that was when my Big Change came — when I realized I was the problem, not the women. The solution to your problems is not in the woman but in yourself.”
— Pook, Volume 1
Become A Man, Not A Nice Guy Or A Player
Neither weak nice-guy nor empty player. Honor, self-respect, standards — and a life you built, not a performance.
Masculinity without the costume.
Written To Be Remembered
No filler. Stories and hard lines men still quote years later — not recycled pickup theory.
Sentences that stay with you.
Three Volumes, One Education
Vol 1: frame and foundation. Vol 2: relationships and female psychology. Vol 3: the full arc. Most readers don't stop at one.
Start with Vol 1.

Talking To Girls
Don't compliment unless it's something you are genuinely impressed by (authenticity is the key).
Everyone likes to feel unique and special in their own way. Show interest in HER and her life. Believe me, she will make your ears bleed. (this will come off naturally since you are already interested in her, therefore interested in what she does, etc.) While you are finding out everything about her, YOU have remained a mystery since you're not trying to 'sell' yourself. The chick will love someone asking about herself (thus validating in her eyes that she's 'special') AND her interest in you will grow because she wants to know more about you. Not bad for letting your ears bleed, eh? Also, the more information you get, the better and more precise you can take the next step with a higher probability of success.
DON'T be sweet. LISTEN to her and add in your thoughts (don't try to FIX her problems, UNDERSTAND them). When a trait or feeling comes up that you agree with, don't hesitate to tell her. She will feel a 'connection' with you and her interest level will rise.
If she ever makes you mad, tell her EXACTLY WHY YOU'RE MAD. Amazingly, girls LOVE IT when guys will shout at them because girls want HONESTY and DIRECTNESS. Many girls will put up a 'test' of standing you up just to see if you will swallow it like a 'nice guy' or if you will have the STRENGTH to put them in their place (Women are not attracted to guys they can control).

What readers keep returning to
Real Goodreads and reader notes — men who read once and keep recommending it.
“This is clearly the best book I have ever read. The Book of Pook teaches you to be a man and to not give in to the power that women yield over spineless guys. More effectively, the book wants you to respect yourself and to love yourself. If you don't love yourself, how can you expect anyone else to love you? In Pook's world, there is only one process - and that is yourself. You need to change yourself, and changing yourself is good. All I can say is, I am going to print it out and bind it like a Bible and when I am down and out of strength, and I feel like giving up, I am going to come back to this book, for it gave me more strength than any religious book ever gave me.”

“Don't categorize it as PUA, red pill, or a pickup guide. Yeah it teaches you what women are really thinking and is a survival guide for this feminism rampant society, but more importantly it teaches you to value yourself. Deeper than picking up girls, the techniques and philosophies here will grow you into a better person.”

“Fantastic book that focuses on improving your core self rather than remembering tactics.
Think of Pook to Sosuave as Satoshi Nakamoto is to Bitcoin. The long lost founder with the core concepts.”

“One of the most essential books for the modern man to read. Please do not be turned away by the lack of ratings on goodreads, this extremely female dominated site. This is one of the most important texts you can get your hands on as a man, period.”

“What are you expecting here? A long-winded diatribe on the virtues of strong masculinity in an increasingly decadent and feminine society? If The Book of Pook taught me anything, it's that bookish exercises in philosophy frequently lead to feeble stasis, and almost never to life's sweeping heights. Your time is better spent building, creating, and pursuing YOUR passions! So get off your butt young man, stop reading this review and go create your own world!”

“The author is not one of those; he is real, not defending anything, just being.
In relation to seduction, tricks, methods, lines, excuses are all lanes driving away from the real challenge, therefore away from the real growth.
This book has great insights and I would recommend it to any emasculated creature (nice guys, wimp guys) and to boys (method seducers, routine addicted dudes), and to those select few that realized that paradise is now.
Best quote in the book: "YOU are the GREAT CATCH" , "Perfect is boring."”

“This book as huge downside! I want to read more, I want to talk to the author - invite him to my house an discuss this subjects.
I had huge moments of awareness and realizations that make a lot of sense. Guys are being feminine and passive, being reactive rather than active.
Shiittt, this book is awesome. The way that Pook writes is funny and very easy to understand. We can see he has read a lot and thinks regularly about this stuff.
He should do a "real" book.
I can say that he changed my life for good. This was almost like talking to god. Shit...
Just read 5 pages and you will get your mind blown! I'm in awe!”

“Improve yourself, and women will follow.
The high standards you apply to your desires must be applied to yourself.
Main Ideas
- Only go for many women or none at all (monk mode)
- Improve yourself until you do not need women to be happy
- Embrace being a sexualized male
- Nice Guy vs. Jerk
- Nice guy depends on good reactions from women
- Jerk depends on getting laid from women
- Attractive man: Doesn't give a shit what women think”

“I cant stop raving about this book and "Pook" obviously. Although this isn't really technically a book but a collection of a forum posting. Having read a lot of other RP books, this book was a great treat. This is one book that will open the floodgates of self improvement if you accept issues in your life and seeks actively to correct them. "Pook" goes over them one by one and tries to help you out as a friend and a mentor.
I can't stop raving about the book and "Pook", I'm pretty sure this is for a very selective audience and doesn't appeal to the mass crowd. I'll read these again and will recommend the book to any of my friends who are open to self improvement.”

“I have read this book over and over again, and every time, I have learned something. It has taught me things that are more than just "how to get girls". It is hard, in this day and age, to really know what it means to "be a man". Pook answers those questions. To be continuously striving forward, to go past the manuals and instructions and create your own life, that is what he advocates. I don't agree with everything he says, but many of his words resonate with me.”

“Very opinionated. However, there is a lot of introspection and truth to most of what he is saying. He essentially says that it's all backwards. We need to focus on being ourselves and CONSTANTLY be improving that self. Not trying to be someone else.
Very good at parables and telling stories. Storytelling is similar to Arabian Nights.”

“A self-improvement book first and foremost. Treat it as such. Don't get too bogged down with his views, make your own inferences. Gets better in latter half, especially the last few pages dealing with success.
Gold:
How do I judge a woman's character? I see how she treats people who can do nothing for her.
Your life depends on the choices you make now in your youth. What you do today echoes a lifetime.
Passion - never lose it, for that would be the death of your soul.
Consistency is the most important thing to success... in anything
Honor your dream and have patience. You are the catch.
OOH LA LA”

About Pook
He wrote for himself. Men still pass it on.
In the early 2000s, Pook wrote on SoSuave about standards and self-respect — not nice-guy or player theater. Blunt. Memorable. Still quoted.
“Stop worrying about Pook and worry about yourselves.”
Collected into three volumes by Pook Media. Focus on yourself. You are the problem and the solution. Above all: action.
