Why you should read this book?
💡This review is my personal masterpiece, read it until the end.
💡 I do not think it helps you to find love, but in case you are a couple, it can be very enriching read.
💡Contains many lovely and beautiful quotes.
To be honest I started to read this book, because Jay Shetty is my all time favorite podcaster. I regularly listen to his podcast “On Purpose“ since he started it in 2019. Since then he interviewed many interesting people like Ray Dalio, Tony Robins and many others.
Back then I was disgusted by Western style of life. School, life and all then fuckin’ bullshit. I was fascinated by Jay, because he came up with something different. He lived 3 years as a monk in an Indian ashram, where he just meditated and studied spirituality. He wrote another book about that called “Thinking as a Monk.“ Now, guys, I have to disappoint you, because I did read the book, but it was before I started to write on-line reviews and as a consequence I did not review that one.
If I would have to compare both books, I would say “Thinking as a Monk“ was more original. It was written by the life itself, it was new and groundbreaking, at least out of my perspective. On “8 Rules of Love“ I appreciate Jay voiced over the audio version of the book, nevertheless I was missing those new groundbreaking ideas 💡I have never heard of before. I also felt that Jay is using some some of the material form his podcast in 8 Rules of Love.
…
To be honest I usually do not read this type of book e.g. 8 Rules of Love. I doubt any kind of book would help me to find true love, which is also related to my overall perspective. When it comes to love. Based on this book I do not think that Jay Shetty lives on this planet, in the reality most modern men live nowadays.
The problem is that Jay does not see is how fucked up the dating market has become. Look for example on the app like Tinder. The problem of Tinder is that fat, ugly and not so smart girls get more matches, likes and attention then then would have ever gotten in the real life. Moreover even an ugly and fat girl gets far more likes then an average good looking guy. The major problem is that those average girls then think that they can date men who would never ever date them in the real life. This distorts the reality for both of men and women.
A real Top G like me has a loads of boxes that need to be checked before he even considers some girl as “dating worthy“ material. The boxes are:
✅ University education, ideally from abroad
✅ Speak foreign languages (seriously, I cannot date a girl who does not speak with minimum 3 languages, it is defo a bummer)
✅ Certain figure (I won’t do fat girls)
✅ Pretty, ideally blond
✅ Classy behaviour. Not to be a hoe and be low maintenance (no party lifestyle, no need for expensive vacations)
✅ Cooking and caring skills
Another problem is that girls get overload of messages and they keep talking only to a guy who drives the last model of BMW M6 or a Lambo. You do not have one? Too bad, motherfucker… You drive old Škoda Fabia or an old Mercedes? You are not getting a chance on Tinder.
In an on-line world only the 20% of all top earning men get 80% of all women. I`m always utterly stunned how 100% of women compete for 1% of men. They even do not care if this man has many other women or number of children. I would never ever date a girl who has a child from a previous relationship / marriage.
Tech is literally fucking up the natural way of dating. I get a loads of matches, but most of the time it does not lead anywhere. Conversations get boring and tiring.
You can get a god dam premium, but it is a waste of money. In general, dating apps are waste of male energy, unless you are a Top G and there are loads of girls who wants you, because you have a Lambo, money and you can ultimately provide for them and their future offsprings.
But then how the fuck you can provide for them when you live in the Czech Rep.? Where every company pays 1/3 of what they pay their employees in Germany or in general in Western hemisphere. And those companies even think we should be grateful for miserable salaries they offer! The western hemisphere thinks that they can continue to exploit us that we are happy to do the same work for less. That is wrong my friends! We demand the same pay and the same quality of living as in Western Europe! There is no housing in the Czech Rep. respectively there is too much, but it comes down to a miserable pay in the Czech Rep. so normal working people cannot afford to get a mortgage and buy a fuckin’ apartment. You do not have an apartment? No money, no funny mate. Or maybe: no apartment, no funny, no future prospects of rising a family and therefore no purpose in life.
It is a fucked up world my friends… In my perspective man leads, man shows the way, man makes decisions and women follow. If this model is to work, women have to be dependent on men, not vice versa. We need well paid jobs. It is proven that this model works, so let it work and stop screwing it up with some useless reforms which will only result in the reality that majority of women after 30 are single, no kids and the western states continue to die out, because they keep turning their own peoples' potential in biological waste!
But back to the review my friends! The view I have just shared with you above is the one which is pissing me off for a long time and I need to get it out of the system! I need every god dam girl on Tinder to hear that her ghosting has fatal consequences for men and that we won’t allow them to treat us that way. Also I would like to stress out that if a girl is not mythical No. 11, she has no chance to date handsome and smart men, because we won’t settle for less than we deserve. Btw. do not settle for less then you deserve is also one of Jay’s advices from this book.
One principle I really liked in this book is this one: Rule 6 Win or lose together as a couple. It talks about mutual understanding of two people and always wishing the best for the other half. I think it is beautiful. The problem is that you cannot practice this, unless you actually got through the god dam game on the dating market and found somebody who can practice it with you.
Another great principle is Rule 5 Purpose comes first. This applies especially to men. Never put your other precious half higher then your life purpose. I think you are never going to be truly happy unless you are going to fulfil your full-potential.
I’m going to finish with a story Jay uses permanently on his podcast, but he used it in this book as well:
There was once a farmer who owned a horse and had a son.
One day, his horse ran away. The neighbours came to express their concern: "Oh, that's too bad. How are you going to work the fields now?" The farmer replied: "Good thing, Bad thing, Who knows?"
In a few days, his horse came back and brought another horse with her. Now, the neighbours were glad: "Oh, how lucky! Now you can do twice as much work as before!" The farmer replied: "Good thing, Bad thing, Who knows?"
The next day, the farmer's son fell off the new horse and broke his leg. The neighbours were concerned again: "Now that he is incapacitated, he can't help you around, that's too bad." The farmer replied: "Good thing, Bad thing, Who knows?"
Soon, the news came that a war broke out, and all the young men were required to join the army. The villagers were sad because they knew that many of the young men will not come back. The farmer's son could not be drafted because of his broken leg. His neighbours were envious: "How lucky! You get to keep your only son." The farmer replied: "Good thing, Bad thing, Who knows?"
The point is that we never know whether something is good or bad. Hence there are no good and no bad decisions in life. There are only decisions. Many decisions bring something but do take something away. We should not fear it, we should get on with it and enjoy the ride! 😊🎢
Kaiser’s Verdict: 🫳
This book is not for people who are looking for love. This book is more for a couples who who found it and want to keep working on their relationship in the best possible way.
