The book jump-started the international “seduction community,” and made Strauss a household name—revered or notorious—among single men and women alike.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eBut the experience of writing \u003cem\u003eThe Game\u003c\/em\u003e also transformed Strauss into a man who could have what every man wants: the ability to date—and\/or have casual sex with—almost every woman he met. The results were heady, to be sure. But they also conditioned him to view the world as a kind of constant parade of women, sex, and opportunity—with intimacy and long-term commitment taking a back seat.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThat is, until he met the woman who forced him to choose between herself and the parade. The choice was not only difficult, it was wrenching. It forced him deep into his past, to confront not only the moral dimensions of his pickup lifestyle, but also a wrenching mystery in his childhood that shaped the man that he became. It sent him into extremes of behavior that exposed just how conflicted his life had become. And it made him question everything he knew about himself, and about the way men and women live with and without each other.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eHe would never be the same again.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eSearingly honest, compulsively readable, this new book may have the same effect on you.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"HarperCollins","offers":[{"title":"Audiobook","offer_id":49345220968752,"sku":"BDbaz8","price":39.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Audio CD","offer_id":49345221034288,"sku":"ZEbaz8","price":55.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Audio CD [ZP]","offer_id":49345221198128,"sku":"ZPbaz8","price":76.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0879\/2784\/9264\/files\/baz8-Square-cover.jpg?v=1776907831","url":"https:\/\/downpour.com\/products\/book-baz8","provider":"Downpour","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
