So, I was reading Roosh's posts on books since I was looking for some new books to read, and I saw that he recommended How to Win Friends and Influence People by Dale Carnegie. A number of other people I have talked to in person, as well as other blogs I follow that are PickUp related have said that this book is great.
So, I bought the book and am reading it. But right now, I don't see how this can apply to pick up. For example, Principle #1 is Don't criticize, condemn, or complain. That whole chapter's message was, when angry, frustrated, etc., to take a step back and look upon the situation from the other person's POV, and not, under any circumstances, to criticize them.
How is that gonna help your game? I know that you don't want to complain around girls, and you shouldn't throw out insults all the time, but at the same time, shouldn't you not bite your tongue? I'm just really confused on how to apply this to pick up. I understand trying to make friends, but pick up, not so much.
So, can someone explain to me how this book is related to game? Or what perspective I should read it from in order to improve my game?
Thanks
