Hey boys,
My KoC book is almost 100% complete. Final edit from editor is coming in this weekend, I'll put a few more touches, then record some bonus videos for the soft launch. After that I'll hand it to my typesetter and it'll be donezo.
Now, I want to know which book you want me to work on next. I have a few in mind and some are already somewhat written. Here are the ones that I have and some details on how far I already am on them and how it will go.
King of the Social Circle - this would be the follow-up to King of College. It would be focused on cultivating and managing your reputation in non-college social circles (for the older gents or for those who skip college). I would also include work-place reputation, though my only experience with a "work place" is in the nightlife industry where morals are much looser (people openly date each other and fuck each other..it's expected and somewhat encouraged in those circles), so I'd add in some "it works here, but you have to be careful in more conservative circles" addendums. I'd also include how to use or gain social circles in environements like bars or nightclubs (e.g., approaching people in clubs, being their friends, and being the cool guy at the club that night.) Also I'd go into how to "people collect," a concept that RSD Luke has gone into, quite expertly, but I think I can do it better (e.g., getting numbers, following up with people, how to make X person your friend, etc). I wasn't ready to write this until now that I've seen the ins and outs of post-college social circles. It's, as you would expect, not much different, but using real life examples from my life will help non-college people see it in real time. I'd keep the same format as KoC and use stories and anecdotes to help illustrate and demonstrate the techniques and concepts discussed. I suspect it won't be as monstrous a book as KoC (which sits at 650 pages right now with single spacing), but it will be complete. You will never need another reputation guide again. Also will include coaching experience I've had with giving people reputation advice, reaching all the way to the heights of society. The only heights you could go beyond these stories would be royalty, politics, and celebrity life (and I've crossed paths with a few modern day royalties, if you count billionaire heiresses and nightlife industry kings, and know a few people who are actively friends with celebrities. I'm sure in 20 years I'll write another one like this, similar to Casanova's memoirs, but for now, this will do). Currently 100ish pages of this are written, mostly in form of private lay reports that involve social circles lays.
What She Really Meant - a guide to understanding the texts of women and how to text women. This would be a companion to Chase's texting book. In theory, this book is for when you hit snags and a texting conversation doesn't go according to plan. It will be EXTREMELY technical. I will go as deep as you can - the ins and outs of how punctuation, syntax, spelling, tone, text length, response time, and the psychology of a woman reading texts - this will all be detailed with examples on examples. It will be entertaining, as always, but will be highly technical. That being said, if you read it with care, you will master texting, which I learned, IS an art in and of itself. I have around 100 pages of this done already and a rough outline already sketched. Of all the books, this would be the fastest to write, since a lot of it is copy/pasting texts and analyzing them. The level of detail I go into WILL fuck with your head like any high level mathematics textbook will...except it's about bitches, which makes it fun (not to say set theory isn't fun).
The Art of Persistence, Part 1 & 2 - this will teach you how to persist. The first book will be how to persist in person and the second is how to persist over text. This would be a 2 book affair. I will go into how and when to persist in person, as well as over text. I will go over the pros and cons of persisting and include many stories of my successes and failures in the area. This began as an article series, but once I hit the 50 page mark on that, I realized I had a book in the making. What's most interesting about these books is how romantic yet technical it is. It's such a fine art, one that borders on the complexity of texting, that I am surprised no one has written a book on it. Probably because it's difficult. Most people are either dogs (like me) about persistence or give up super quick. You will be amazed the level of persistence I've engaged in and succeeded in, and also the strange happenstances that occur in this fantastic simulation we inhabit and call reality. Strange, strange things have happened. This book WILL make you question your beliefs in fate. For it surely changed my attitude (I have a near unshakable belief in fate).
Three choices. I expect that all of them, if I'm as awesome as I think myself to be, will be written and finished by Christmas 2018, but which come first can be determined by you. I am leaning towards some more than others, but help me make this choice.
What do you want to read first?

But first need to do some other tings.
