This review is from: MACK Tactics: The Science of Seduction Meets the Art of Hostage Negotiation (Paperback)

As a single female, I didn't think I would like this book. After a friend told me about it, I was interested in seeing what the talk was about and read it...I couldn't put it down, it was so interesting. I love hearing from men's point of views on how they think they know what women want and need. I was shocked that I actually agreed with the writers on just about every tip in the book! I told all my girlfriends they should read it too, just reverse the male version to the female version, it applies to everyone. I would highly recommend this book, it is a great gift also!

This review is from: MACK Tactics: The Science of Seduction Meets the Art of Hostage Negotiation (Paperback)

I've read a number of books in the dating/seduction genre, a lot of which tend to recycle the same information. Mack Tactics is an explosion of fresh ideas, clever writing, and one hell of a unique twist: one of the authors, Christopher Curtis, is a former top hostage negotiator. This gave him an incredible understanding of the power of words and phrasing, and how to quickly create bonds with people and keep a conversation flowing.

Mack Tactics explains how to take these negotiator techniques and apply them to how you interact with women, with your boss, anyone who you want a "tactical advantage" with. The methods it teaches are easy to follow and apply. But I was surprised to find the book is about much more than that. It's really a step-by-step blueprint that teaches guys how to be more confident, skilled, and desirable to women....from confidence-building exercises, to fashion tips, to how to get a great conversation going, "negotiate" a girl's phone number, and take her out on a memorable first date.

Very cool stuff. I remember seeing this book written up in FHM Magazine a few months ago and I'd been waiting for it to come out. It's a fun read, and it's packed with tips that I've already started using. (The chapters on "Hypotheticals" and how to generate "I.O.U.s", a classic negotiator technique, are worth the price alone!)

This book sheds a different perspective on the dating scene; which, most people wouldn't even thinking about dating in this way. Definitely a good read for anyone that wants to understand their partner or potential partner.
