Reminder that this book is heaven sent

How percentage of Jow Forums has read this book? This book seemed silly when reading it in high school, but now I attribute most of my professional career to it's framework.

I've read it and think it's the only self-help improvement type of book that is actually worth reading

just the basics, which most people never even start mastering
perfect

>How percentage
American educaiton spotted.
>heaven sent
Christcuck spotted.

>not understanding a metaphor

went to high school with the author. The book should be called "How to have no friends and get your ass kicked"

The book is useless if you are ugly.

Solid read, can anyone recommend any books similar to this one

>make money
>fix yourself
What so hard?

Damm how old are you boomer

Ugly people are poor

Emotional intelligence or strategic leadership techniques are basically manipulation. So reading books on ei will help you with knowing how and when to use people, read people, etc.
So maybe books by Daniel goleman

What part of make money y don't understand? Don't tell me because i'm ugly so nobody hire me, stfu y fucking lazy ass. Nobody give a give a shit how y look, y're wagecucking finish your damn jobs and went home, got some saving go invest into shitcoins,penny stock. "Make money"

Calm down raseesh

Im actually reading it rn, almost done.

Honestly I'm not impressed. It mainly sounds like ass kissing and being a complete suck up u til eventually the person you're talking to does what you want.

This is not the type of behavior found in your typical alpha Chad, this is teaching you to become a yes man for him. I don't like it one bit.

The only thing it did teach is something I already knew from psychology 101, that positive reiforcement does wonders on kids, pets, and women.

Search Youtube for Mexican Andy and consider that he makes 1k a day with tts. Is he ugly?

I honestly don't want """friends""" and I don't care about "entrepreneur" scam buzzwords like "influence" or whatever. Fuck all people, I am completely disillusioned with society and I just want to be left alone to masturbate to shitty moe anime

>This is not the type of behavior found in your typical alpha Chad
You've missed the point. Think about why people like Chad and want to be around him.

>being such a pathetic misanthrope that you even try to alienate 2d women

FAG!

I know why. It's because hes extroverted,so he garners attention because people listen to him speak.
This book tells you basically to listen to everybody. Let them talk about themselves, etc. You're never going to gather respect and attention without a big mouth. If you hardly talk, you will be forgotten. Seems to me this book teaches you how to suck up to Chad and/or be his loyal sidekick buddy

I live with my girlfriend

>listen to everybody. Let them talk about themselves, etc
People will like you if they think you care about what they have to say and are interested in their well-being. That predisposes them to giving you respect and (positive) attention.

>If you hardly talk, you will be forgotten.
Duh, but if you're a loudmouth and people don't like you then things are gonna get worse for you.

Send her my condolences.

have you used this shit on someone successfully?

this user is correct.
you fags need to read winning though intimidation by robert ringer
it's basically saying that life is one big larp so if you can larp really well people will believe you and you'll do well.

She already has her parents' condolences.

>People will like you if they think you care about what they have to say and are interested in their well-being.
lol bullshit.

The exact opposite. Being a yes man will mean people will push boundaries and try to see where they can get to next with you and if they can take advantage of you. Self-help books like these rarely help. Self-help books being high on the list on best sellers just tell us what people in the west desperate need - companionship, community, friendship and deep relationships.

Turn back to Christ if you want those. You're not going to get it from some self-serving book that only wants you to be a beta cuck so you can be fully exploited by the elites.

>lol bullshit.
It's basic human psychology, my man.

>Being a yes man
Is something completely different. A beta cuck is a beta cuck whether or not they're likeable.

there's a difference between being a yes man and doing things that make people think you're interested in their well being. the point of the book is how to get other people to be your yes men. I thought as a whole it was pretty lame and common sense but there are some interesting takeaways.

cx in that

so why do we want people to be our yes men? what are they going to do for us? get coffee?

in real life its supposed to be team work where the team are trying to accomplish a goal, so you are all on the same train. everyone should be committed to the truth, and you want to follow the guy that is correct.

what kind of work situation are we talking about even?

>point of the book is how to get other people to be your yes men.
By what, being a yes man yourself? That shit hardly works in real life. If you've ever worked an office or corporate job before, the most assertive and confident people are the ones who get people to rally behind them, not "yes" men.

something like Tesla right now, i imagine

huh?

>how to become an obnoxius faker

can you give an example where this have worked, where someone that has no official leadership get people to rally behind him and how did it end

Seriously, I hate people who blaming their failure in life by saying their gene isn't perfect enough and shit. Life is unfair and hard af so fucking accept it move on. People will always judging u no matter how good looking u are so fucking ignore it and do whatever da fuck u want for your life seriously.

Well there was this guy from Austria

>citing Dale Carnegie's arguably worst book he ever wrote as a cornerstone of your success or lack thereof

How to Stop Worrying is the definitive and ultimate Carnegie book, How to Win Friends & Influence Normies is his meme bait book meant to lure in retards.

You have to be really curmudgeonly to actually need this book. Nothing in it isn't already common sense. Make yourself sound genuinely interested, phrase things as requests not demands, don't point the finger and use excessive blame... who the fuck doesn't do this already?

Pre-Suasion. Influence by Robert Cialdini summaries a lot of scientific literature on influence and cognitive priming in a digestible form.
Look into the work of George Lakoff if you're interested in the theory behind it - he wrote a lot of stuff about metaphorical processing.

There was a book by a HR guy who worked for Apple which has some pretty good practical examples of how Steve Jobs motivated people. Stuff like asking "what do you think of this watch?" and if they commented on it aesthetically he would give them an identical watch, or his famous 'pirate vs. the navy' analogy. You can start to see why Apple was a cult, because Jobs was really good at picking people who were 'enthusiastic'

Oh, and maybe read "The Confidence Game" by Maria Konnikova

>Don't be a dick for the sake of being a dick, only when the situation calls for it like if it's funny for either you or other people. IF SOMEONE has authority over you, Judges, Cops, Teachers, Managers Totally kiss ass most of the time though like the book shows

Its a good book but like with any other book if you don't APPLY it you might as well be jerking off in your bed 5 times a day.

I read this book and started applying the principles for a few days and it went really well. I was socializing and striking up conversations with people I didn't even know. Then I got lazy and stopped trying now I'm back to being an awkward retard again. Such is life.

Ahhh yes, the BF Skinner intermittent rewards approach. Commonly seen in 'Narcissistic Trauma' dyads

EUROKEK spotted

No book in the world will make you friends in Sweden. People are socially retarded on the extreme end of the spectrum here. People don't even look each other in the eyes or say hi when passing by each other. It's pointless. Also no true brohood or pack mentality. The government had curled people for too long here in modern times and in older times it was each village to itself and each villager to himself. Isolated cuck society. In career life only the ass kissers get anywhere.

what are you even trying to say, you just strawmanned me and then agreed with me in the same post

I got the audio version

The author completed high school in 1906, dummy.

jews are the ugliest bastards around and they own the world

this is a good point
generally speaking the more socialist a country, the more asocial the people
i'm a frog and going to america was a transformative experience, it's easy to make money in a country where people talk to you

this

go back to plebbit, boomerop
