      "the way of the superior man"
      is the best book on this list if you have questions or confusion as a "man" ,
      or having gripes to come in terms with some male only problems
      anyone that thinks otherwise simply hasnt read the book. thats it.
      it is ultra precise, no political biases ,
      super specific and technical ,
      and to appreciate it you dont need prior knowledge of any other aspects (philosophy, poilitical ideology, psychology , history, theology etc) no nothing. it is a short book and absolutely worth it.

    I read David Deida first time back in 2007-2008, I was like 23 years or so back then. Still young and lost back then. I read it again a few years ago, now in my 30s, and let me tell you, I understood so much more from the book. This last year I have learned so much about women and relationships and I'm thinking of reading it again with the clarity I have now. I could actually recommend reading the superior man once in a decade or so. Because as you grow older you see the world from a new perspective.

This is the first time I publish a comment in any of your videos; a few days ago, I found this one and I liked it. In this month March I have finished of reading "12 Rules For Life" by Jordan B. Peterson, in a comprehensive way. It's a great book, I liked it much. I got it in January 2022 (last year) in English (exactly equal than yours) in my city, semi-new. But in this March 2023 I decided to read it. Congratulations for this video, "The Roommates", greetings and blessings 🙏 from Sonora, México 🇲🇽. I can read in English about 80%, in academic/ scientific books, articles, texts, etc.

    Read The Ways Of The Superior Man many years ago. It's a gem that rivals the classic Iron John. I have dated many beautiful women, but I slept with thousands of books. The mind is the magnet that brought them my way and many are still just great friends to this day! "No More Mr. Nice Guy" changed my life and perspective on how to be a stronger man of faith.

    Hafeez, when are you writing your own book? Also, you need to start a “Level Up” Men’s Conference! Keep leading by example and dropping this knowledge. We all appreciate it.

    Finally read all seven. The last being “His Needs, Her Needs”. IMO, all but Lost Connections and His Needs, Her Needs.
    I would recommend “The Tactical Guide to Women” before “His Needs, Her Needs”.

    Great video, Hafeez! I really appreciate the work you do to help men become their best selves.
    Since I love to read ,It would be amazing if you would do a similar video but for women.
    "7 books every woman should read" I know your channel is mainly for men but I ,as a young woman , often watch your videos and learn a lot from you and I m sure I m not the only one 😇
    If anyone has good recommendations too here in the comments ,feel free write them below
