Rules of the Game

Neil Strauss, New York Times bestselling author of The Game, now brings readers a portable, omnibus paperback edition of his box set Rules of the Game—a unique how-to guide for pickup artists (The StyleLife Challenge) to master their social skills and a volume of Game stories (The Style Diaries)—with new bonus material. The Stylelife Challenge is the manual Strauss, author of Emergency, thought he’d never write: the ultimate guide with concrete dating advice for landing the woman of your dreams, while The Style Diaries takes readers further into the seduction underworld than ever before, and delves where The Game never dared to tread: into the even more complicated rules of relationships. This monthlong workout program for your social, attraction, and seduction skills includes:- Confidence Boost: A 30-day challenge designed to move from lonely and desperate to socially fearless, with daily missions to build unshakable self-assurance.- Approaching Women: Field-tested scripts and step-by-step guides to eliminate approach anxiety and start conversations anywhere, anytime.- Seduction Skills: Go deeper into the seduction underworld than The Game ever dared, with advanced techniques for creating attraction and connection.- Dating & Relationships: Move beyond the pickup and learn the even more complicated rules of relationships, with stories and lessons from The Style Diaries.
