Publisher's summary

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 best-selling 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.

Great book about relationships and social dynamics

The great thing about this book is that it contains not only a lot od information and theory about the Game and social dynamics but most of all it is a great pile of interesting stories narrated in very fascinating way. I do recommend it to every guy!

This Book Changed My Life!

A year after I read this book I became a PUA. Turned a nice guy into a player. 10 years later everything that happened in this book happened to me. Then I read The Mystery Method: How to get beautiful woman into bed! WARNING! Be careful with these techniques! If used wrong itll cause you a lot of drama and heartache!

This really is the most important book in pickup

After 7 years of being in pickup never reading this book, I finally understand after reading it why it's so popular. It might just be the most interesting book I have ever read.

Amazing. Could not stop listening.

This book changed my life 10 years ago, yes it taught me the psychology of how to pick up women. But more than that, it sent me on a journey of self development and exploration that. Thank you Neil Strauss, for writeing this book. Thank you. Again and again. Re listening to it was powerful and I could not put this audio book down.

Suprising life lessons.

Great book to listen to for everything I'm going through right now. Not the ending I was expecting, but the ending I needed.

very captivating

At first I admired them. Then I didn't like them. Finally I just felt sorry for them.

The Absolute Truth

I've read this book and observed the lessons over the years. I have peacocked, sarged, and closed for years after. This book is an absolute gift from beginning to end. not only does it explain the game, but it shows you how to use it without devious manipulation. Take the lessons from Neil, all of them. what to do, what not to do, and how not to lose yourself when doing it.

This is not a play book.

If you are thinking that this is a playbook or information on Mystery Method, it's not. what it is is a great story filled with flashy characters and more drama than an episode of The Real Housewives.and is more than enough to keep you entertained. This should seriously be turned into a movie.

Most honest book ever

What I absolutely loved about it was the fact that it paints the subconscious reality of most normal guys. And it clearly highlights the pain of understanding human nature, while attempting to attain meaning. Whether the stories are accurate or not, it is irrelevant, the bottomline is that my inner monologue has always felt like a combination of styles and mystery, and that was cool, I no longer feel along. And while I know this review is pathetic to most, but in an era where self-preservation compels us to save face, such stream of honest emotions, despite historical accuracies is nothing short of refreshing, for lack of a better allegory.

Great

It’s a great expose of the PUA community. It shows the good and the bad of the seduction community.
