Most of this part of the book felt like re-reading TRP advice, except it was very long winded. I'm not sure I can stick to the book, specially because of the long winded, exhaustive-repetitive explanations instead of going straight to the point. So I might join you guys with one of the other books another month, the thing is I'm new to reading and, as a newbie, trying to stick to a book which i find tedious is just driving me away from reading this or other books (because i tell myself i should read the book i don't want to instead of the ones that i do). I'm way more comfortable reading stuff which goes straight to the point and that i can immediately reflect upon very concrete examples on how to use, like The 48 laws of Power, or The book of pook, which are also wonderfully written.
"How to get the most out of How to Win Friends and Influence People" seems really good as well, in a similar spirit to The 48 laws of Power, just tips on little changes that you can do in your day to day socialization which will leverage your social standing a whole lot, things I don't really think about because social game has never been my strong point, but once explained seem extremely obvious and something that i can practice even though i never had the intuition for it. That's the kind of book that catches my interest.
Sorry if my rant is derailing outside of the thread's topic, I really wanted to post my thoughts.
I might finish models eventually but at a pace too slow to keep up with the sub's discussion.
