My main job is being the co-founder of Reconnected, a coaching company that specializes in strengthening your dating and social life to help you connect deeply with others. We have a number of coaches specializing in different fields, so we can help you with any problem in your love or social life, whether it’s finding a girlfriend or becoming a better lover, we have the experts and the coaching to help you achieve your goals.
Nick Notas: Dating 101
by Reconnected
My business partner and friend Nick Notas is one of the most sought-after dating coaches worldwide and on his site he has a large collection of links to everything you need to know to become successful with women. Everything is 100% free to read. If you haven’t done so yet, I bet you’ll bookmark it as soon as you see the huge value there.
Last Longer In Bed – Online Course
by Keeley Rankin
We all want to be seen as great lovers and lasting longer is a key part of that because if you constantly have to worry about not ejaculating too early then you can’t connect and fully be with your partner. Our sex coach at Reconnected, Keele Rankin, has created an online course to solve that problem. It’s a great alternative for anyone who can’t or doesn’t want to afford her coaching rates.
The Guyde: Science-Sourced Self-Improvement and Dating Advice for the 21st Century
by Howie Reith
The Guyde was written by Howie Reith, who is a dating coach at Reconnected. Even before Howie worked with us, I was a big admirer of his answers on Quora. The Guyde is what I consider the most complete and practical book on becoming great with women in an honest way. I like it even more than Models by Mark Manson. It is a very detailed book, so much so, that we also require all our coaches to study it.
If you only read one book about dating advice, it should be The Guyde.
The Perfect Voice: Complete Collection
by Roger Love
Learn to speak in a confident, attractive way from the world’s top vocal coach. Great speakers such as Tony Robbins or Simon Sinek have used Roger’s methods and swear by it. Personally, I have made the experience that working on my voice has changed how confidently others see me. It’s obvious that a deeper and stronger voice makes you come across as more confident, but I would have never guessed how big the effect is.
Headspace – Mental Health App
by Headspace Inc.
Headspace is one of the two apps I use for meditation. But Headspace is far more than just a meditation app. They have a large number of lessons and techniques that they teach in little animated videos. It’s the one-stop-shop for your mental health and its basic functionality is available for free and definitely enough to get started with meditation.
Waking Up – Meditation App
by Sam Harris
This is the second app I use for meditation. Waking Up has a great number of free lessons and I find it a bit more in-depth than Headspace. Here is the description of the app they have on their site: Waking Up is a guide to understanding the mind, for the purpose of living a more balanced and fulfilling life. Join Sam Harris—neuroscientist, philosopher, and New York Times best-selling author—as he explores the practice of meditation and examines the theory behind it.
Writing Your Story with Joyce Maynard
by Joyce Maynard, CreativeLive
Celebrated journalist, novelist and memoirist Joyce Maynard will give you the tools you need to translate your own experiences into a memoir that captivates readers. You might think, “What has this to do with me succeeding in my love life?” Well, you often have to write about yourself, especially in dating apps online, on social media, or in job applications. Therefore, I view presenting yourself in the most interesting way as a key life skill.
Break the Habit of Self-Doubt and Build Real Confidence!
by Mel Robbins, CreativeLive
Mel Robbins is the most booked female speaker in the world, a serial entrepreneur, and a best-selling author. Her class will give you the motivation to get off your a** and get busy building the life you want by removing the internal barriers that often keep us circling nervously around ourselves without ever taking action.
The Power of Body Language
by Vanessa Van Edwards, CreativeLive
One of the reasons Vanessa’s body language course on CreativeLive impressed me was because she uses the concept of baselining, where you first determine a person’s standard behavior and then observe deviations from it, as opposed to just making general statements like, “Putting your hands in your pockets shows insecurity.” It’s an interesting introduction into the world of body language and Vanessa is a fabulous presenter.
Master Your People Skills
by Vanessa Van Edwards, CreativeLive
Some people dislike Vanessa’s presenting style because it can feel too recited at times. But whether you like her or not, the effort she puts into her classes and additional materials is incredible. I always liked her a lot and think anyone can learn from her.
Robin Roberts Teaches Effective and Authentic Communication
by Robin Roberts, Masterclass
This is a must-watch! The “Good Morning America” co-host’s approach to teaching communication is very much in line with what I believe is the best way to learn how to connect with others on a deeper level. If you are sick and tired of boring small talk and want to establish real rapport with people then you should watch Rabin’s class.
Tan France Teaches Style for Everyone
by Tan France, Masterclass
Some believe they need to get sixpack abs or be at least six foot tall to look attractive. In fact, the best way to immediately become much better looking is by improving your style. This Masterclass will give you everything you need to know about style and how to use it to make you look your best. What I love most is that he uses the concept of a capsule wardrobe, which is also what we teach our coaching clients at Reconnected.
Thomas Keller Teaches Cooking Techniques
by Thomas Keller, Masterclass
Impress your dates with delicious home-made dishes. As everyone knows, love goes through the stomach. Learning to cook well has certainly been one of the best time-investments of my life and has impressed many a woman as a nice by-product. This Masterclass is a great introduction. I would especially urge you to take one of the pasta ideas Thomas presents and make it your own so you can serve your signature pasta to dates and friends from now on.
Models: Attract Women Through Honesty
by Mark Manson
No list would be complete without Mark Manson’s fabulous read Models. For many years I considered it the bible of modern dating advice (until The Guyde came along) and I still recommend it to all my male friends and clients. It is an absolute must-read!
The Subtle Art of Not Giving a F*ck: A Counterintuitive Approach to Living a Good Life
by Mark Manson
This book should be required reading for every school and every university.
It helps you reduce your ego, uncovers what triggers unhealthy behavior, and just opens your eyes to a lot of things you were unaware of prior to reading it. Damn, I should read it again asap.
Emotional First Aid: Healing Rejection, Guilt, Failure, and Other Everyday Hurts
by Guy Winch Ph.D
This book should be required reading for every school and every university.
It helps you reduce your ego, uncovers what triggers unhealthy behavior, and just opens your eyes to a lot of things you were unaware of prior to reading it. Damn, I should read it again asap.
Rejection Proof
by Jia Jiang
This book is about a guy who challenges himself to get rejected every day for 100 days straight. It’s insightful, hilarious, and opens your eyes to what is possible if we only dare to ask for it.
The School of Life – Youtube Channel
by The School of Life
I love the Youtube channel of The School of Life because it has hundreds of well researched and beautifully animated videos on every topic imaginable that’s related to mental health, love, philosophy, self-improvement, happiness, and more. I also bought a few card decks from them, one about gaining perspective and one about confidence, and both are very well made.
Womanizer – Luxury Adult Toys
Womanizer
There are three brands that I trust when it comes to sex toys: Womanizer, We Vibe, and Lelo. I think it pays to spend a bit more on quality in general, but especially when you touch your most intimate areas with something, it should be free of any harmful chemicals like softeners and, of course, it should feel amazing. Womanizer’s products fit both, in my experience. When you purchase something through this link, you’ll get 5% off.
We Vibe
We Vibe
This link will give you free shipping for orders over $50. I have bought toys from them and was… well, very pleased. ;-)
