Recommended readings to the Alpha Male program
I have read the How to become an Alpha Male by John Alexander recently and while there was some practical tips that I enjoyed, I got the feeling that the author prescribed to at all costs keep up an "facade" toward women. What I mean is the examples where he told you to "control the frame", "switching subjects", "keep talking when walking home with the girl at all times" - it just gave off a desperate an unauthentic vibe for me. Not at all in the same league with the profound things I've read here on this forum coming from Shannon, at all. What I expect about developing as a man wouldn't be so much about projecting things to other people, but to become more assured in myself, for one thing. And as this is mentioned in the book, it's only done on a superficial level.
My experience with John Alexanders book made me to look for something else and I am currently reading David Deida's "The way of the superior man" which is more appealing to me for some reason. It centers around the underlying energetic balances between female and male energies, and how they affect our relationships, and how important polarity is for creating attraction, among other things, such as finding your purpose in life.
If you haven't come across David Deida's book yet Shannon, it would be interesting to hear your thoughts on it and how well it aligns with the philosophy behind your AM programs. I think that you would enjoy it, based on our discussion in the Religion thread. It focuses on long term changes on a profound level, where I felt John Alexander's book was about projecting an image, mostly directed toward dating.
As a reference John Alexander's book has around 300 reviews with an average rating of 3,7/5 on Goodreads and David Deida's has 18 000 reviews with an average rating of 4/5.
I haven't gotten around to read the "Double your dating" yet but it's next in line after I've finished David Deidas book.
