You have taken a tremendous step forward in achieving your goals as a pick-up artist. If you are a man who actively pursues his goals in meeting and attracting absolutely gorgeous women, and you are already getting good results, The Hidden Power of a Master Pick-Up Artist will lock into those skills and feelings that you already possess and give them a turbo boost that will bring you even greater results and consistency. In the short amount of time it takes to read this book and do the exercises, you will gain a better understanding of key concepts I refer to as “The Hidden Power” and “Congruency,” and this understanding will bring you even greater success with those women you have only been partially successful with. Furthermore, you will discover how to reprogram your “internal settings” to attain a certain persona and experience various emotions naturally. These are the same settings that make you feel nervous in a completely natural way. Once you create a blueprint of these settings—one that describes how you want to act and how you want to feel around gorgeous women—you can reprogram these settings to help you feel confident and act naturally, without thought or conscious effort. During this process, you will discover that those forces driving you toward non-action are the same forces you can redirect toward your goals. If you read this book and dedicate yourself to integrating these concepts internally and achieving your goals, then I guarantee you will start taking the first steps to having success with women, naturally and easily. At the current time, you may not be entirely certain that you want this, or possibly you are not man enough to make the decision to obliterate all obstacles that stand between you and your goal. After your mind is made up and you have decided you want this, continue reading and nothing will stand in your way when it comes to achieving your goals with absolutely gorgeous women. This book is written in the context of meeting and attracting women. The men who make an art form out of this process refer to themselves as “pick-up artists.” To use this book, you don’t have to be a pick-up artist or even understand the concepts of meeting and attracting women. In fact, you can use this book to design yourself to meet and achieve any goal that you have previously fallen short of. With the concepts presented in this book, your goals become easily achievable. All you need to do is reach out, grab them, and own them. I want to thank you for buying this book. It is a tremendous value for the price you have paid. I truly believe that, and I hope you take your time to complete all the exercises in this book so you can obtain the true value behind the words on the page. I’ve worked very hard in writing this book to bring you the best value possible. I’ve used some of these same principles and concepts to create myself as a writer and become congruent with that discipline. Writing in a way is similar to meeting and attracting women; your skills and self-esteem are on a roller coaster of ups and downs. Writing a book is a long and difficult process, and to create a good book you need a consistent set of emotions and skills. I have created an identity, values, beliefs, and behaviors that support my goals as a writer. In the same way, you will create your own identity, values, beliefs and behaviors to support your goals with women. The existence of this book is proof that the concepts, principles and techniques presented will work since they worked for me, and I wouldn’t have been able to write this without them. With that said, I want to wish you as much luck as I possibly can on your journey learning The Hidden Power of a Master Pick-up Artist! I know you can succeed in your goals! Note to the Reader This book isn’t a guide on meeting and attracting women; rather, it’s a guide that helps you create yourself in a way that supports your goals of meeting and attracting beautiful women, and doing it easily and naturally. This book assumes you have at least a basic understanding of the techniques and principles involved in “picking up” women. As you are reading, you may notice that I sometimes use pick-up terminology, so if you are just entering the world of picking up women, you may want to begin your journey elsewhere—but this isn’t necessary. If you do want to start with a more basic book, you might try reading The Game, by Neil Strauss. It’s a good narrative that introduces you to the life and world of a pick-up artist. It presents some tactics, but it only superficially addresses “the game.” But this is exactly what a newbie needs, and it will prepare your mind for your new life. Also, it will help you decide if this is the life you really want. After all, some people enter the dating community to find a great woman. Some wish to have fun and be social while being promiscuous. Some wish to gain confidence and be better with women or people in general. No matter what your goal or intent is, The Game is a great place to start, and if you decide to enter the dating community, you can move on to other books like The Mystery Method, by Mystery. That book is more of a textbook as it breaks the process down step by step. You will learn techniques to quickly get into a conversation with a woman and get her attracted to you, turned on, and even more. Where you take it from there is up to you. You may have noticed that these men who are learning to be more successful with women are often referred to as a “community.” These men sometimes call themselves “pick-up artists” or PUA’s for short. Also, this group might be called the “dating community,” or the “seduction community.” Sometimes the community gets a bad reputation, and at the surface some elements may seem odd or even creepy, especially to women looking in from the outside. No doubt there are some bad people in this community who consider women as only pieces of meat. If you are one of those people, I suggest you stop reading now and delete this book from whatever device you are reading it on. In reality, at the heart of this community is a group of men with truly good intentions. As I said earlier, most of these men just want to meet one girl—the one who is truly meant for them. Also, these men are working very hard to improve themselves. They are learning social skills; they are learning how to be funny and confident. They are raising their self-esteem and learning how to be their best for a woman—how to be their best selves. With that said, most people just don’t enter this community; they immerse themselves in it. They read all the relevant dating books and attend all the seminars. Many sources of information exist. I’m not going to tell you about every “Guru” out there because that’s part of the journey. The journey is finding the right information at the right time. Somebody who is proficient at pick-up, but not yet a master, may have found this book. This book could be the next puzzle piece that takes you to your next level of mastery. I’ve already told you the places to start, and from there you will be led to other sources of information. So if you are new to the community, go get the two books I recommended above, and then come back to this one because you do not want to miss out on this! If you are already a part of this community, then read on—right now! Readers on the Kindle You are most likely reading this on your computer or on the Kindle because this book was written to be published as an e-book. The Kindle is a great device because it allows you to do so many different things. On the Kindle you can highlight sections of the book that are important to you and then come back and review those sections at any time. I suggest you do that because we’re only humans and we tend to forget much of what we read. When you review those parts you’ve highlighted, you will internalize that knowledge much faster and much more easily. Once you internalize these concepts, your skills will turbo boost to the next level. If you find entire sections valuable to your learning experience, you can place bookmarks throughout the pages. You can then go back to any of the pages you’ve bookmarked at any time. The kindle comes with a built-in dictionary. At times, certain words convey subtleties in meaning that other words just can’t. Because the Kindle comes with a dictionary, I didn’t limit this book to using only simple language. To view the definition of any word, just move the curser to that word, and the definition will appear at either the top or bottom of the screen. Go ahead and try to highlight a sentence. Also, try finding the definition of a word. The Kindle makes it very easy to rate and to give the book a review. If you enjoy this book, please rate and review it so other people don’t miss out on this cutting-edge material! I appreciate anybody who reviews this; thank you. Notes on Multiple Readings As you read this book multiple times, the material will affect you how you need it to, and it will get you to the next level of success. In this way, the material is always relevant to you and your situation. This is both a newbie guide and an advanced guide because the information will affect you according to your current level of success and the level of success you desire, always giving you the fuel you need. For this reason alone I encourage you to read this book more than once. For most readers, the experience will be similar to viewing a hologram: the light hits it in a different way each time, allowing you to see a totally different picture. Have you ever seen a holographic billboard? From far away you see one picture, but as you get closer it becomes a totally different picture. As you get closer to your goals, this book too will change. In contrast, a billboard doesn’t change. The only thing that changes is your perspective. The Magic Genie Lamp This book isn’t a magic genie lamp. If you just wish without applying the ideas presented in this book, and without taking action, you will not achieve your goals and dreams. Take heart from Bruce Lee who said, “Willing is not enough; we must do. Knowing is not enough; we must apply.” This book is practical but fresh. It will open your eyes to new ideas; it will give you the motivation you need; it will give you new inspiration and creativity. This book will empower you to achieve your goals and become successful at meeting and attracting women. It’s time to live on your own terms. The Map is Not the Territory Quite a few books exist on this topic, and after reading many of them, I know just as well as you that most other books don’t meet the standard of quality needed to be successful. You may have read many of these books, and probably have many of them sitting on your bookshelves. I know you’ve tried to apply the information, but many of us lose touch with the ideas and have a hard time applying them in real life. Those books are forgotten. My goal for this book is to give you quality information so you can apply these ideas to real life. I know the map is not the territory. Think about that now: The map is not the territory. Think about what this phrase might mean. You will get the idea of this concept throughout the book. Those other books make sense in terms of the map, but my goal is to speak specifically in terms of real life. I want to take the idea and allow you to feel it and bring it to life in terms of your own life. That is the concept of this book, because our dreams and imaginations are just ideas. They are the map per say, but this book is the vehicle that will take those ideas and your dreams and bring them to life and make them as real as possible. When you’ve finished reading and this book sits on your shelf with your other books, every once in a while this book will reach out to you from the shelf, drawing you in again, deeper, giving you even more power to use as you see fit. Now as we move forward in this book, begin opening your mind to the idea of having your goals come alive in your life. Begin to get excited. Introduction At this point, you may possess a limited understanding of what this book is about, apart from what you may have read in the description on Amazon.com. This book isn’t full of pick-up lines or gambits to pick up women. As I have stated, there are many sources that provide a multitude of great pick-up lines and behavioral cues. And this is exactly why this book came into existence. People often get caught up in the “outer-game” of pick up. For those of you that don’t know about the outer-game, it is everything you say and do to pick up women. Some people are always searching for the right thing to say. They want more and more pick-up lines. They want more and more material. Most of you probably already know there is more to this game than that. The other part of this game is called the “inner-game.” This involves your emotions, thoughts, beliefs, values, identity and intent. Some readers may have a good understanding of this from other sources; others may not have a clue, and the rest are somewhere in between those two groups. Whatever stage you are at in this game, you are perfectly fine. If you already have a good understanding of inner-game, that’s great, because this book doesn’t go into great detail in that area; rather, it focuses on a few KEY areas. On the other hand, if you know very little about the inner-game, that is also fine because I will explain everything necessary to get the most out of this book. So what is this book actually about? Look, so many people in this community read on and on about pick-up, but when they arrive at the bar, club, college campus, or wherever it is they go to meet women, they freeze up, or they don’t use what they have learned, or they don’t act on what they want to do. This is called “approach anxiety.” As soon as these people think about approaching a beautiful women, they start to feel nervous. For some people this leads to non- action. Others move forward with the approach anyway, and things become sketchy because their nervousness gets the best of them. Now, this isn’t just a book on curing approach anxiety, but it will result in that. This is a book about congruency. It’s about getting every ounce of your
