[Ezio]

Any books for social circle, social and relationship power dynamics, social power, psychology of men in group, reputation and things like that? Actually, not very seduction related. I feel like I can't explain myself very clear but I hope you get me.

I am very well aware of the golden advice that was given in my earlier post about power games, but if there is a book or a source of information that actually discusses these things even in more depth, please tell me, so I can feed my mind and become stronger against potential people who would want to tool me, manipulate or dominate me or bully me.

Sometimes I struggle more in dealing with the same gender than women, then both in general and lastly with women.

Any sources, books, or places like GC that discusses social dynamics, especially between men, would be great.

Ideally something practical, not something like mental masturbation types of information.

Thanks in advance!

Love to all,

-Ezio.

Ezio,

I highly recommend reading Girlschase articles and then go out and meet different social circles. Books helps and guides you on what to do. Experience on the ground means you going to understand why people do what they do and books will support you understand the so called rules and fundamentals of how things work.

Just make a hobby out of reading any social and psychology articles. Psychology today is one website to start, but ultimately, always remember whether you want to make reading/sociology a part of you because you sometimes can indulge in it and you become more inefficient because you're always reading but not necessarily operate very well in the real world

I came to Girlschase because of the article about Shame attack and how to counter them. I read all the articles related on social game (not seduction, just stuff about social status and game people plays) and quickly improve to no sense my life and the control I have in social situations.

I really, really recommend this site:
… I have spent 4 years searching the internet to find way to counter emotional bullying (I was a target of that, at my job, at my school, from boss, colleagues, teachers, other student, even girls…)
… I learned hypnosis and NLP to resist and fight back and deal with social situation…

… and nothing come close to the articles here about that. Especially Chase's articles.

Of course, my understanding of psychology, hypnosis and NLP help me a long way, yet, Chase's stuff is pure gold that give me a new perspective and a kickstart to push that to a whole new level.

… and of course, I guess having both the context understanding of psychology & Chase's article on top of being able to act through NLP and hypnosis just push my "social game" to a very high level… but if you need to pick only one of the 4, pick Chase's article. Seriously, it's the real deal my friend.

I very doubt that you could find a book that come close to what you may find on this site. Not a chance.

I recommend reading some books on body language. Chase covers body language in his articles a little bit. After doing further research on the science of body language, I feel more skilled in both expressing myself through body language, as well as being able to recognize how others are feeling.

Here are two books I have found particular interest in:

The Definitive Book of Body Language by Allan and Barbara Pease
What Every Body is Saying by Joe Navarro
