“An amazing book that all men should read, not just to be better with women, but to have a more enjoyable life. True Classic. Only issue I have is that there are a fair few typos/missed words in sentences. Apart from that, Ooh La La!”

“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.”
“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". …”
“A self-improvement book first and foremost. Treat it as such. Don't get too bogged down with his views, make your own inferences. …”
“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. …”
“Unbelievably in depth knowledge for men. Wisdom to change your life and help understand women. Don juandom awaits”
“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.”

“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.”

“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.”
“Didn't agree with a lot of it but very much agreed with the self-development, focusing on your life and mission, and taking responsibility for your own outcome parts of the book. …”
“Great redpill book. Love the rant at the end.”
“Disregard women, acquire aesthetics, acquire currency, acquire bros, acquire puppies.”
“A fun read with matters going into self reflection and good mental health. It goes on a bit and you can tell it's an evolution of blog posts. It contains some pertinent points that I've found good for my well being.”
“A book about how to be a man in a feminist world.”
“Legendary Book!”
