What’s a good book to get?

What do you mean by elevation effect?

 

"The Way of the Superior Man", by David Deida. This is a SR/NF handbook.

 

Well, I would recommend The Case Against the Sexual Revolution by Louise Perry. It's the best argument I've come across against porn and it also helped me understand what was going on biologically speaking when I looked at it.

Another book is Emotional Agility by Susan David. While it's not about porn per se it has some good things about how to deal with temptations and mental health challenges.

I know none of the books are fantasy but I haven't read any fantasy except A Christmas Carol. One fantasy book I want to read is Wuthering Heights but I don't know if it would be inspiring. I've heard it's rather dark and weird but it interests me.

 

I've never really had a problem with reading books by women myself. I will say in her book Louise Perry doesn't seem to understand how hard it is to give up porn. She writes about how it's easier to give up porn than to give up fast food. I guess from her perspective is that you need food to live but you don't need sex so giving porn up should be easier. Still, she has the best arguments against porn I've come across. She argues against porn from a socialist and biological perspective which convinced me porn was something I should give up.

As for the Susan David book, I don't remember anything in it that didn't apply to me. She uses examples from her male and female clients and seems to understand both men and women.

 

in that case you might like The ape that understood the universe by Steve Stewart-Williams.

 

Looks like a good book.

 

Thus Spoke Zarathustra

 

My favorite book.

Definitely an elevation book

 

The Brain That Changes Itself by Norman Doidge. This book is good for understanding brain and addiction. You can read this if u haven't red this book earlier. I don't know the price of it. But this book can be helpful.

 

If I was looking for one book that would have like the most ROI possible I would personally be looking at a stand alone fantasy novel or something The Girl Who Fell Beneath The Sea, The Spear Cuts Through Water these are both in my opinion fantastic self contained fantasy stories. The benifit here is that you get a really nice story that is worth it for its own sake. The issue with say self development books is that it isnt really about the book its about picking out the lessons and the authors arguments and applying them to your own life they arent really going to change your life on their own
