Sorry from my side as I am talking about other person's work on @Leo Gura 's forum.I just want to ask that are the books like Fearless Dating,Subtle art of not giving a -- ,Models worth reading along with Mark Manson's YouTube channel ? As I found lot of useful content there and some similarities between his and Leo's work.

He's good. I've followed him over the years, he is good at giving you unique perspectives. If you resonate with his content then use it.


You are a selfless LACK OF APPEARANCE, that CONSTRUCTS AN APPEARANCE. But that appearance can disappear and reappear and we call that change, we call it time, we call it space, we call it distance, we call distinctness, we call it other. But notice...this appearance, is a SELF. A SELF IS A CONSTRUCTION!!! 

So if you want to know the TRUTH OF THE CONSTRUCTION. Just deconstruct the construction!!!! No point in playing these mind games!!! No point in creating needless complexity!!! The truth of what you are is a BLANK!!!! A selfless awareness....then that means there is NO OTHER, and everything you have ever perceived was JUST AN APPEARANCE, A MIRAGE, AN ILLUSION, IMAGINARY. 

Everything that appears....appears out of a lack of appearance/void/no-thing, non-sense (can't be sensed because there is nothing to sense). That is what you are, and what arises...is made of that. So nonexistence, arises/creates existence. And thus everything is solved.

I read Subtle Art and it was fine. Don't recall any big takeaways that have really stuck with me.

I'd probably recommend these books by Sean Webb instead:

Mind Hacking Happiness Volume I: The Quickest Way to Happiness and Controlling Your Mind
+
Mind Hacking Happiness Volume II: Increasing Happiness and Finding Non-Dual Enlightenment

Not mainstream, I just happened to find the guy on Youtube a few years ago. The books only have 100-200 reviews each vs 60,000 for Manson's books, but they tie together a lot of big concepts.

Models is a nice basic dating advice book focused on inner game.

Fearless dating isn’t a book it’s a video course summarizing models in video format.

I read the subtle art book and his writing style is good. He is good at making a fun read. I didn't really get anything life changing from it though. 

If you resonate with him, then give it a shot. A few members on here liked the models book.

I remember reading the suble art of not giving a F, quit halfway through because it bored the shit out of me and I don't usually get bored reading. He doesn't seem to have any big expertise in any specific field besides writing of course. Personally I like reading about people who spent their entire lives trying to understand 1 thing
