the truth and uncomfortable book about relationships

It’s one that’s fairly easy to be cynical about.

So full disclosure: I was given a copy of The Truth: An Uncomfortable Book About Relationships for review, I’ve hung out with Neil and I’m a former pick-up artist myself. I want it to inspire you to dig deep inside yourself and figure out what's stopping you from making yourself happy: I want it to inspire you to embrace and engage with love, in an honest and healthy way.'

But more than that, I want you to think critically about it, about what it says about you and the world around you and your romantic relationships. I want women to read it, and men - especially men - to read it. I want your families, your friends, your coworkers, and your colleagues to read this book. The review in Grantland described it as follows: He can be found at His latest book, The Truth: An Uncomfortable Book About Relationships, was released on October 13.

He is also the coauthor of four other bestsellers-Jenna Jameson's How to Make Love Like a Porn Star, Mötley Crüe's The Dirt, and Marilyn Manson's The Long Hard Road Out of Hell, and Dave Navarro's Don't Try This at Home. Neil Strauss is the author of the New York Times bestsellers The Game, Rules of the Game, Emergency, and Everyone Loves You When You're Dead. Searingly honest, compulsively readable, this book may have the same effect on you. And it made him question everything he knew about himself, and about the way men and women live with and without each other. It sent him into extremes of behavior that exposed just how conflicted his life had become. It forced him deep into his past, to confront not only the moral dimensions of his pickup lifestyle, but also a wrenching mystery in his childhood that shaped the man that he became. The choice was not only difficult, it was wrenching. That is, until he met the woman who forced him to choose between herself and the parade. But they also conditioned him to view the world as a kind of constant parade of women, sex, and opportunity-with intimacy and long-term commitment taking a back seat. The book jump-started the international “seduction community,” and made Strauss a household name-revered or notorious-among single men and women alike.īut the experience of writing The Game also transformed Strauss into a man who could have what every man wants: the ability to date or have casual sex with almost every woman he met. Neil Strauss became famous to millions around the world as the author of The Game, a funny and slyly instructive account of how he transformed himself from a scrawny, insecure nerd into the ultra-confident, ultra-successful “pickup artist” known as Style.
