Summary
No more games; it's time for the truth. I am not the hero in this tale. I am the villain.
Do you believe in monogamy? Neil Strauss didn't. The New York Times journalist made a name for himself advocating freedom, sex and opportunity as author of The Game - with intimacy and long-term commitment taking a backseat.
That is until he met the woman who forced him to ask the questions that men and women are asking themselves every day: Is it natural to be faithful to one person for life? Do alternatives to monogamy lead to better relationships and greater happiness? Can you keep passion and romance from fading over time?
Strauss set out on a quest for answers. It took him from Viagra-laden free-love orgies to sex addiction clinics, from cutting-edge science labs to modern-day harems and, most terrifying of all, to his own mother and his family's secrets. What he discovered changed everything he knew about love, sex, relationships and, ultimately, himself. The Truth may have the same effect on you.

A gd read for ppl recalibrating post "Manosphere"
I havn't read "the game", but I know of Neil Strauss after reading a lot of that type of material post divorce. This is a really good book for people who fear going down a "red pill rabbit hole" and want to recalibrate. Also just an intetesting story and he is a good writer.

How to grow long term happiness from the gulf of short term passion
A journey of discovering one’s self through the life journey of a witty, insightful and eventually loving nerd who done good.
I highly recommend this book. The only reason I haven’t given it 5 stars is because it’s not as good as his book the game!

Eye opening, great advice for men and women!
There were a few moments which made me gasp, feel angry, and want to cry with happiness. Not only was it a great story but also a real life honest self help book for one and all.

Surprisingly powerful
This is the first review I have done. I bought this after enjoying the game. Whilst expecting an exciting narrative, I was floored by the honesty of the author and his journey. It is equal parts entertaining, titillating and awesome in scale(relatively!) The truth will change your life.

Fantastic and uncomfortable listening
Listening to this just after a break up was just what I needed to restore a little faith but also take a good hard look at myself - recommended, highly!

Educationally brilliant and funny
I couldn’t stop listening. And I’m now never just ‘F.I.N.E’ again.
Very helpful book and feeling appreciative to Neil Strauss for writing it.
Enjoy! 👍
