The Game: Penetrating the Secret Society of Pickup Artists

Hidden somewhere, in nearly every major city in the world, is an underground seduction lair. And in these lairs, men trade the most devastatingly effective techniques ever invented to charm women. This is not fiction. These men really exist. They live together in houses known as Projects. And Neil Strauss, the bestselling author, spent two years living among them, using the pseudonym Style to protect his real-life identity. The result is one of the most explosive and controversial books of the year -- guaranteed to change the lives of men and transform the way women understand the opposite sex forever.

On his journey from AFC (average frustrated chump) to PUA (pick-up artist) to PUG (pick-up guru), Strauss not only shares scores of original seduction techniques but also has unforgettable encounters with the likes of Tom Cruise, Britney Spears, Paris Hilton, Heidi Fleiss, and Courtney Love. And then things really start to get strange -- and passions lead to betrayals lead to violence. The Game is the story of one man's transformation from frog to prince -- to prisoner in the most unforgettable book of the year.
 

Customer Reviews:

Amazing, fascinating, funny and an easy read.

Just after reading the intro i was smitten by the book. I have hardly ever laughed so hard while reading anything. I find myself thinking back at events that went bad or good, and realizing now why it did.

This is a great book for any boy or men from 15 and up.
If you can't handle the content of the book then you can't handle real life.
This books is straight forward and shows how much you can accomplish with a little self esteem and confidence.
So Buy it, read it, and have a great time with the humorous mind pictures that Neil Strauss is painting.

If you need a guide to pick up women, than try David DeAngelo instead.
Learn some NLP, Palm reading, cold reading, and a little magic never hurts anyone.

Very inspiring

This book demonstrates what's possible for any guy. Also recommend "Secrets of the A Game" by Logan Edwards and "Mystery Method" by Mystery.

okay, but uncaring

Similar to Cougars, Poptarts & One Night Stands by Billy Conroy. I thought both books cared little about women's feelings. The guys simply want short-term relationships.

How could anyone not like this book???

It's well written, funny and highly entertaining. It's not a 'how to' manual on picking up chicks, it's the author's experience on journey going from an Average Frustrated Chump (AFC) to Pick Up Guru (PUG). Highly recommended.

A good book!

When I got this book the look of it was fantastic. After I got about 3 quarters of the way through, honestly I had trouble to keep reading. I got onto this book from a friend from my hypnotist group, he said to have a look how they are using waking hypnosis. THAT PART FANTASTIC. It is just the author lost me after a while.

Good book though.

P.S. From some of the reviews I have read on this book, I don't know why but people are regarding this as a self help book. This is a not a self help book. It is a story of how people have used Hypnosis and Hybrid Hypnosis (NLP and others) to win the opposite sex. For those people who think this is a self help book, get a life! Rebuild a confidence pattern in your head and move on.
