As someone who has researched the so-called Pick-up Artist area of the self-help genre for several years for an academic book project in Cultural Studies, I found this book unique and compelling. My own research aside, I recommend it to any man who would like to refine his own vision of what kind of woman he would like because this book reveals why so many otherwise fantastic women lack confidence and show up mediocre at best.The book is well-organized and each chapter ends with some action-steps that the reader can take immediately, or at least consider experimenting with.The best parts of the book have to do with helping anyone (both male or female) generate confidence, new personal behaviors of excellence and, as the other says, let go of the outcome. His tips and strategies for allowing oneself to do that are priceless.Above all, the author is well-studied in terms of drawing conclusions based on personal observations and experiences and is clearly very passionate about this topic. He gives very detailed examples in the form of different scenarios that really cut to the quick.Women: don't be surprised if you recognize your faults in these pages. But don't worry. There are plenty of techniques and approaches that will help you.Men: you will definitely find yourself re-considering what you want in a woman. I sure did.In sum, this is amongst the best of the books in this genre I have read. I place James Taylor in the good company of other authentic writers in this genre like Leil Lowndes and David Wygant.
