How to Have Confidence and Power in Dealing with People, I didnt read it yet, but I heard many good things about it. It is also listed on the booklist and got mentioned in several good books I read. Definitely will read it soon too.


“If you're going to try, go all the way. Otherwise, don't even start. This could mean losing girlfriends, wives, relatives and maybe even your mind. It could mean not eating for three or four days. It could mean freezing on a park bench. It could mean jail. It could mean derision. It could mean mockery--isolation. Isolation is the gift. All the others are a test of your endurance, of how much you really want to do it. And, you'll do it, despite rejection and the worst odds. And it will be better than anything else you can imagine. If you're going to try, go all the way. There is no other feeling like that. You will be alone with the gods, and the nights will flame with fire. You will ride life straight to perfect laughter. It's the only good fight there is.”

― Charles Bukowski

@kras Books:

How to Have Confidence and Power in Dealing with People

Models: Attracting Women Through Honesty - Best dating book I've ever read.

The Charisma Myth

How To Be a 3% Man

The Laws Of Human Nature

Shadow Dance - Not a book for social situations per say but you can use this to uncover and integrate your limiting beliefs and insecurities which is the core of most of your problems in life. Must Read!

 

Other advice:

Meditate before you go into social/stressful situations and incorporate deep breathing. (This is a short term strategy but good in a pinch) This will help to detach from neediness and be calm. 

Don't think of people as your enemy. Learn to love and accept yourself and then others. Easier said then done obviously. Watch Leo's video on Self-Love.

Do shadow work.

Listen to songs that make you feel like a badass before you go out or while in your car. 

Smile. Smiling makes you feel more confident. When you feel more confident, others will perceive you as more confident. You will see people's reactions to you and reinforce the confident feeling. (Self-Love is sexy)

Use powerful body language. See above excerpt for how this affects you. Your mind can be tricked by manipulating your body.

Study human psychology. Male and Female, they are different.

Learn to be compassionate. Study people or groups whose perspective you don't share or understand.

I'm also looking for good sources about the topic and just only read Carnegie's book. Right now I'm watching " Charisma on Command" youtube channel and trying to practice some advice on this pandemic/lockdown situation, which also comes with another question: Does this advice works in an almost online pandemic context?
