The Way of the Superior Man - David Deida

Just finished reading this book. The one thing I regret is not reading with my notepad close by, to write down everything that I want to remember, everything that I am aligned with, everything that brought forth enlightenment and realization.

Some brief points that I want to remind myself about here, from the table of contents:
Stop hoping for a completion of anything in life.
Never change your mind just to please a woman.
Enjoy your friends' criticism
Be willing to change everything in your life
Stop hoping for your woman to get easier

Praise her
Tolerating her leads to resenting her
Dont analyze your woman
Stay with her intensity- to a point
Don't force the feminine to make decisions

Choose a woman who chooses you
What she wants is not what she says (p108- highly recommended first read)
She doesnt really want to be number one
Your excellent track record is meaningless to her (this is excellent for day to day life / business as well)

You are always searching for freedom
She wants the "killer" in you

I'm going to skim through this book again right after hitting post, just a quick glance through every page, before moving on to our next book.
