Through practical psychology and personal development, Manson argues that genuine self-improvement and vulnerability create stronger and healthier relationships. Exploring themes of confidence, rejection, neediness, and connection, the book presents a direct and modern perspective on attraction, self-worth, and meaningful human relationships.

"Models by Mark Manson is the best book I’ve read about finding a romantic-sexual partner" — Dan Silvestre, self-improvement blogger and book summarizer
"Models is a very good book on dating for men and covers many of the foundations that men should start with. It’s also one of the best dating books on mindsets and overarching philosophy" — Lucio Buffalmano (The Power Moves), dating and social dynamics coach
"Models is probably the best book on the subject, because it's not ON the subject it's about how to MAKE the subject" — Goodreads reviewer, highlighting its self-development focus
"Out of the three books I read on dating and attraction, this was by far the best. I love how the principles are grounded in being a non-needy man whose focus is on developing himself" — Marlo Yono Cruz, book blogger

This book will put you in a very good frame of mind.
When it comes to dating, it's important to have some “game.” It may sound silly, but we're not perfect human beings. More often than not, we build our belief systems around misconceptions, and finding the right partner -perhaps one of the most important decisions we'll ever make in life- isn't an easy undertaking.
For instance, don't assume every girl is within your reach. That's narcissism, as Mark points out at one point. So get to know her before making a big investment.
What do women want? One of the biggest questions we men ask ourselves. Mark argues that it's “status, looks, and lifestyle.” That's another good point.
But the core idea -the concept of honesty and vulnerability- is what I believe really works. Women definitely appreciate it.
The best: A really healthy book. It will help you breathe, live, and make things easier.
