This time, we’re doing something a little bit different. As part of learning and improving, I do a lot of reading and I recommend a lot of reading to my clients as well.
Doing well in social interactions and with women is all about psychology and there’s so much to learn. Recently, I convinced McConnell to read Sex at Dawn which is a book that I found so interesting because they really interpret a lot of things very differently from the conventional view.
It suggests that monogamy is actually not the norm for our hunter gatherer ancestors and points to all sorts of anthropological and biological evidence to support the view that we are indeed a sexually wild species!
Here’s what we talk about in part 1 of this discussion:
- How reading makes you a better thinker by giving you new ideas and frameworks to try on and apply
- Confirmation bias is destroying your mind and here’s how to overcome it
- What evolutionary psychology says about your sex and love life
- The actual love lives our hunter-gatherer ancestors
- Why sexual dysfunction is a myth
- What your body says about your sex life
- and a whole lot more…
