The Gamer’s Guide to Social Success
If you can succeed at video games, you can succeed socially.
That’s the promise of Level Up Your Social Life.

The author is currently doing a IamA on reddit.
How come?
Malcolm Gladwell talks about the 10,000 hour rule to become an expert. I've put in 10,000+ hours studying social skills since I received my diagnosis in high school — it's not like I read "How To Win Friends and Influence People" a month ago and declared myself an expert
No, I pretty much think that's what you did, buddy ;)
If you can't convincingly answer "Why should I listen to you?" with verifiable proof without just repeating ""Because I say I'm an expert" again then these books are always at best common sense but mostly absolutely worthless…
When I was going through my motivation sales, and visualisation phase , I attended a breakfast where there was a motivational speaker. His presentation was word for word of another presenter (from USA and not working in Australia). I had a tape that I played over and over while traveling for work, and I too could repeate the presentation. Good thing I did not pay to see this fellow nor breakfast. Lol
How is he going to prove anything when you ask that question?
People who identify as "gamers" (rather than someone who plays games but doesn't explain to people that it's their identity like it's a profession) as a group have lower social skills, are of lower socio economic status and they have less partners … probably due to their habit of explaining how no woman is good enough for them in the looks department.
Oh sorry that was a bit sexist.
lol
LOL
So it's Amazon US only? That would've helped in the title…
The main link is for the Australian store. I think it's free everywhere.
Thanks, much appreciated.
Lol video of author with a cat
I can identify.
My cat gives me little nips on the heels if it considers I don't pat it enough in the morning. I have to back away slowly and carefully, lol.
Are you trying to say us gamers have poor social skills ?, you sir are racist.
Maybe discriminatory is the word you're after, because for the life of me I can't see how this is racist… Gamer is a race?
Relax, @Kaptn. You need to chase up the free ebook on humour.
If you can succeed at video games, you can succeed socially.
Pew-pew, bitches! ;)
If im at a party, and if the general conversation gets a bit heated, i just go into a hadouken stance.
I find most people see my way of thinking, once the lighting starts to gather at my fingertips
I used to be an adventurer like you, then I took an arrow in the knee
LOL
Thanks OP, this is perfect for … a guy I know. cough

What if I can't succeed at video games?
Change the difficulty setting.
Can do the same with life too - just aim to be on a minimum wage job in a dingy 1 bedroom flat
See, now your 'winning'
how come it costs $6.99 for me?
Looks like the offer has finished. I'll mark this as expired.
You couldn't even pay me to read this laughable garbage.
I will give you $200 to read it and submit a book report.
I think he already submitted the report
how about me? I'll do it (srs).
I cant wait for his next ebook:
"Get a Grip. Monkey Bars for people with one arm"
The cringe is real.
