GIRLS CHASE MONTHLY SUBSCRIPTION
• Unlimited access to GirlsChase.com
Here's another diversion from the ordinary (we're
getting a lot of
that this week - the "Do You Like Someone?"
infographic yesterday, and now a book post), but we had a few requests
over the past few days for a recommended reading list... and since
those are fun to do and I haven't done one on here before... well, here
you go.
I've broken these down into sections via category. Some are books everyone's going to love... some are books only certain folks will. I'll note which books will appeal to which people in the descriptions.
Anyway, who's this post good for? This is good for anyone who wants to read on a wider selection of topics - or anyone who's curious to explore some of the literary background of a lot my own personal thinking.
Note: yes, the links to
books on Amazon below are affiliate links. No, you don't have to buy
the books via the links included. But they're there if you need them.

Thank you! I've been looking
Thank you! I've been looking for a way to kill time at home.
I'm only in high school, but I'm definitely going to read the Psychology and Sales books :)
thanks
Hey Chase, this is great. Besides, Ricardus mentioned something about the senegalese sage-the four pillars of love. Can you share some of the wisdoms of the senegalese sage?
Senegalese Sage
Hey Chan,
The Senegalese Sage is Ricardus' friend; I haven't met him myself, so can't so much about him personally. Though, I know Ricardus has said he'd write more on him in the future - so stay tuned for that!

No Mention of the 4 Hour Work Week.
Hey Chase I'm surprised that you made no mention of the 4 hour work week by Tim Ferris. Most entrepreneurs say that is the book which got them started. Is there a reason you did not mention this book?
4 Hour Workweek
Hey Todd,
That's a good recommendation; it probably should be on here.
I listened to The 4 Hour Workweek for the first time about half a year ago. I'd had legions of friends refer me to the book, especially when I talked about the kinds of businesses I was working on and a lot of of the systems I was using. By the time I finally got around to listening to it, I'd already done a lot of the stuff Ferris talks about, though I remember thinking he had a lot of good insights and a few sharp ideas I hadn't implemented yet.
At the moment I can't remember any key lessons from the book, which is probably why it didn't spring to mind when I was going through my list. I've heard a few criticisms of Tim Ferris being a trust fund baby but I don't think that takes anything away from his book; those are just people looking for a way to be able to say, "See, that's why I can't do what he can do - it's because I wasn't born rich," and excuse themselves for failing or not trying.
My feeling about 4 Hour Workweek was that it was a good book with a lot of good content, with the big advantage of having a lot of concrete steps and examples - sort of a "guidebook to online business" - which a lot of other books lack.
I might update this post to include - thanks for the suggestion.

Books on Sex?
Chase,
You have mentioned that you know how to give a woman the time of her life in the bedroom... while I am sure that a lot of that comes from personal experience (and I know it has for me), I wouldn't doubt if there was a book or two involved. There are hundreds of books on sex, but I was wondering if you could recommend a few that have truly helped you "up" your game behind closed doors. Every man wants to feel superior in the bedroom, so it would be a nice boost of confidence for us readers to know that we have read the same material as someone who is applying that material successfully.
Thanks!
Re: Books on Sex?
Hi Franco,
Ah, that's a good question! It's been so long since I read a book on sex I don't really remember where I got the initial foundation that made me good in bed.
Essentially, I read a lot on sex before I ever had sex, wanting to be good at it from the start. I wasn't - I was mediocre at the beginning, and I started off doing the same thing most guys do (I used to talk about this with guys a lot when I was still excited about sharing the process I'd happened on for easy and powerful multiple orgasms, but eventually you tire of talking about something and move on to other topics) - but ultimately I ended up in a time crunch where I essentially had to give a girl a powerful sexual experience or I was going to lose her, and I tried out something different and it worked.
My learning style is generally to get the underlying concepts, then figure out the technical details on my own. Most of the technical advice I find is geared around getting average results, but that isn't what I want; most of the rest is overly complicated or confusing.
One thing I do remember that helped put some of the finishing touches on my verbal game during sex was The Sex God Method, by Dan Rose. I've heard some criticisms of Dan himself as not being all that good with women, but I've heard the same things about David Shade too, and everyone tells me he's amazing (hypnotize women into orgasms, that sort of thing...). I don't agree with everything in Dan's book (he has a very slow and inefficient method for trying to get orgasms, and he has pretty standard and spotty advice on achieving multiple orgasms), but that's the best technical manual I can think of at the moment.
You've probably seen it, but Ricardus has a post up here on his method in bed:
How to Be a Good Lover (and Give a Girl Orgasms)
... and I still have to release my technique at some point. Honestly, it's one of the few things I've been hesitant to post publicly over the past 7 years, because I've searched ALL the sex literature and haven't found it anywhere, and it's actually incredibly simple and an incredibly effective method at achieving very powerful multiple orgasms in women during vaginal sex within a matter of minutes (and I do like efficiency... and I don't know why no one else does this, people are a mystery to me)... but anyway, so long as only I know it, it's easy for me to claim to women to be able to give them better sex than they've ever had in their lives ;)
At some point though when I've got a little more time, I'll put together a post or maybe even a small program on it. Heh, maybe a demonstration video...!
Chase
Well, now you've definitely piqued my interest... haha
Thanks for the info, Chase. I will definitely look into The Sex God Method for a future read.
I've had several friends claim that they have their own personal "sexual techniques" that make their girlfriends orgasm in minutes, but given enough time with a girl, I find that I can also usually find that magic "spot" for her. I would love to hear what your universal technique is though! It would be nice to reliably give any girl multiple orgasms on the first sexual encounter. A post on this in the near future would be great ;)
Thanks for your continued support!
Chase, I've enjoyed reading,
Chase, I've enjoyed reading, learning, and applying what I've learned from Girlschase for the last year and a half.
I've read the bulk of the articles of this site and found myself to have much in common with you (and have guessed that my world view would be quite similar to yours).
I found it funny then that my favorite political economist Peter Schiff made it to the list of my favorite PUA Chase Amante ;)
Haha amusing and somehow unsurprising, it makes sense that one who sets out to find the truth about a particular chief matter of life (game/seduction) will work to search and find and discover underlying truths about other core matters of life

Audio Learning
Hey Man,
Thanks so much for the article. I've read Outliers and Blink before and those are great books. I'll definitely throw the rest onto my summer reading list. I just got The Art of Closing the Sale on my kindle, and it's turning out to be an informative read. Out of curiosity, you mention that you've been listening to a lot of books; is there a reason for this, or is it just personal preference?
Thanks again,
Anon
Recommendation
Hey Chase, great list, I read Becker and the way I see the world is strikingly different. I read a lot, currently working in a bookstore where customers rarely come in so I can just study all day, and two books that I'd recommend you read and then perhaps include in this list would be: for another history books: Mirrors by Eduardo Galeano. This book consists of short paragraphs focused on people throughout all of human history. Besides being fascinating and full of great lessons, it also is extremely humbling, and I've never read anything like it elsewhere. The second recommendation is the first book I recommend to men who want to take their live's into their own hands: How to Read A Book by Mortimer J Adler. He breaks the process down, talks about types of reading, how to read analytically, reading different types of things, and other elements of being a demanding and active reader. If this book were required reading for students in high school, people would learn to think for themselves more and be critical. After reading this book I felt deeply ashamed of my previous ability to read, and mind you I was probably a more active reader than most.
Carnegie
Hey, Chase. It seems to me that some of your articles were influenced by "How to Win Friends and Influence People," written by Dale Carnegie. It seems like the art of deep-diving article was extremely influenced by this book. I think it would be a great addition to the list.
Hitch-22
If you want to read an amazing autobiography I suggest reading the book Hitch-22 by Christopher Hitchens. His life was so rich and interesting. That's the kind of life I'm striving to live.
Stockmarket and randomness.. Not that random though
Hey Chase,
Lovely list you put out there, weird how I missed this page for so long and still relieved you actually did put one out there :).
Randomness is also such a huge topic for me.
I think people sometimes tend to overstate the importance of "visible results" at the detriment of the randomness factor, which plays a much bigger role in our lives than many people realize, or make it out to be.
And I find it interesting that a guy like you who so strongly puts human will and talent above randomness actually accepts the stockmarket to be "randomly uncontrollable", so to put it, when there are actually guys and institutions who *do* manage to consistently grow richer through it.
Take Warren Buffet, or Godlman Sachs... They all (fairly) consistently beat the benchmark and keep growing their money stack.
Proof it's not really 100% random, is it?
Forgot something?
The Passion Trap
How to Win Friends and Influence People
Social Arts Books?
Hi Chase,
Nice recommendations! I'll start reading The Denial of Death, you convinced me that it's a great book.
Now, in your articles, I've seen you recommending How to Win Friends and Influence People by Dale Carnegie, which I read and found really amazing. I like the obvious statement that one should be interested in the other person when in a social situation - however, no one really does that.
Do you have more books regarding the social arts that go deeper into detail on being a conversationalist, how to behave and what to look for in a social situation, how to develop charisma and how to make people like you and find you entertaining?
Looking forward to your recommendations! Thanks!
book
Getting the love you want, Harville Hendrix.
A psychologists take on why you choose the partners you do based on what your reptilian brain learnt growing up and how this causes LTR's to fall apart.
Some interesting exercises in the back give you one explanation for the types of girls you are attracted to.
Add this to the mix
The Gita should be on this list, I feel.
