I recently finished reading The Luck Factor by Richard Wiseman and want to convey its messages to you today. A while ago I wrote about how luck was one of the missing ingredients needed to succeed with Game. The question might be, then: “how do I increase my luck?” Well, the problem is that being … Continue reading The Luck Factor, Richard Wiseman (Book Review/Summary)

Daygame Robots, Rejection and Hibernation
We’ve all been there: over-caffeinated, eyeballs bulging out of their sockets, industrial quantities of pussy repellant seeping out of our gas exhausts. You’ve been approaching relentlessly for weeks on end, probably driven by promises that your “conviction will max out if you approach every single day.” If you find yourself in this situation then you … Continue reading Daygame Robots, Rejection and Hibernation
Automatic Behaviours
Everyone seems to have these automatic behaviours which they can’t help but do. An Indian guy moves to the UK: he must open a corner shop. Daygamers feel compelled to hit the streets on Saturday and Sunday afternoons. A squirrel will claw at pavement as if it was trying to bury an acorn. These behaviours … Continue reading Automatic Behaviours
Looks vs Game
I posed the below question on my Twitter recently. I wanted to find out what guys would prefer to have, and implicitly find out which they thought was more effective and had more power. It was really interesting to see the near perfect 50/50 split in results (I myself would have gone with “great looks, … Continue reading Looks vs Game
Stoic Daygame
If variety is the spice of life, and new things are challenging, well then Daygame is the gift that keeps on giving. If there’s one thing on this planet which is determined to turn you into a Stoic then that is Daygame. That or those who succeed at Daygame were the Stoics all along. By … Continue reading Stoic Daygame
Comfort is a Feeling (The Myth of Grounding)
I had a Skype call on Sunday where part of the conversation went like this: What do I do if the girl is shy and won’t ask me questions? If she doesn’t ask me any questions and doesn’t know anything about me then surely she is more likely to flake? Am I running enough comfort? … Continue reading Comfort is a Feeling (The Myth of Grounding)
Work Update, and The Importance of Being Able to Walk Away
I’d like to cap off this week of work-related posts with a quick update. I ended up talking to my manager about my plans: I didn’t say exactly what I was going to do, just that I was going to be leaving within the next 8 months “to start my own business.” I’m lucky in … Continue reading Work Update, and The Importance of Being Able to Walk Away
Progressive Overload
I recently saw this tweet from Mr. B and thought it would be a great opportunity to talk about progressive overload in Daygame. The thing is, reaching the optimal point / your potential / achieving anything is actually very simple. You just have to start at the lowest point possible and then slowly become better: … Continue reading Progressive Overload
How to Talk to Anyone, Leil Lowndes (Review/Summary)
I recently read How to Talk to Anyone by Leil Lowndes. To cut a long story short, I do not recommend that you read this book. I’ll explain why I think that. Each chapter is structured in roughly the same way. A bit like a TV advert for each technique. Lowndes sets the scene and … Continue reading How to Talk to Anyone, Leil Lowndes (Review/Summary)
The Charisma Myth, Olivia Fox Cabane (Review/Summary)
I recently finished re-reading The Charisma Myth by Olivia Fox Cabane and today I want to share some of its lessons with you and give you my recommendation. This book falls firmly into the practicable camp, rather than Seven Habits, which was a lot more foundational. I prefer the practical books, though, since I already … Continue reading The Charisma Myth, Olivia Fox Cabane (Review/Summary)
