Not sure the tribalist is necessarily the right word for this and I know damn well that’s not the right SEO term but whatever it works and communicates the right general idea. I’m have no idea what I’d call myself anymore I think red pill tribalist might be best but even then that leaves a lot to be desired (and honestly wasn’t that just called a man for the past million or so years?), which is why I’m not a big fan of labels. But anyways here I’m going to lay out some books that will help those of a tribalism persuasion to shore up some misunderstandings and weaknesses to become all that they can be and have the strongest tribes possible.
What area where I see many tribalists go wrong is with women. I guess it depends on the tribalists the ones that trend towards the outlaw/barbarian side seem to “get” women just fine (both in understanding them and their nature as well as actually getting laid) while the more politically ones trend anywhere from a halfway understanding to a complete loss. Which is why I’m here to help. And this isn’t to say that the red pill gets or understands women completely either, they have their own faults and other things. But overall a synthesis of the best of these two worlds is I believe what is needed. So I’m starting with 3 red pill books every tribalists needs to read.
Red Pill Book For Tribalists #1 – The Rational Male
An introductory text to the red pill and a great read. Though it has often been misunderstood and used to justify some really dumb ideas (not by Rollo but by those who don’t take time to read or understand the book) the actual book itself is great and a needed book for every man to read. It lays out the macro interactions between the sexes very well as well as what the biggest modern threats to men are. It does a great job of debunking the modern social order’s ideas about men and women and sex in general. It teaches men to pursue their own interests and how to date and screw for their maximal benefit. It also helps men understand the differences between men and women beyond a superficial level.
I don’t agree with every single word in it but that could obviously be said of literally every book in existence (including my own that I wrote some time ago, minor things of course but still there). The Rational Male does a great job of laying out the fundamentals of right relations between the sexes. At first you may think “Shit I already know that” but I’d still encourage you to pick it up and give it a read even the most experienced man will still learn a thing or two. The Rational Male is the best book to get the “mind/intellectual understanding” of relations between the sexes right. Also as a side note the “War Brides” essay is worth the price of the book.
Red Pill Book For Tribalists #2 – The Manual
This is the most no nonsense break it down book for understanding how men and women were meant to relate to each other and how a man who is successful with women relates to them. If The Rational Male is the “mind/intellect” of right understanding of the sexes then The Manual is the “spirit/ethos” of that and offers practical tips and things to implement to begin putting this understanding into practice right away. Again even if you’re a guy who understands women I’d still recommend you pick up this book and give it a read, it’s the best for what it does.
Again not perfect I think he fails to highlight the importance of things like working out, being able to fight, dressing right, and things of that nature but hey no one book can lay everything out perfectly anyways. But if you’re a guy who already does those things but isn’t experiencing ridiculous success with attracting women then this book is going to be the perfect read for you. It’s also a great snap shot of how men and women are supposed to interact with each other again taking it beyond a superficial level. A great read that I highly recommend to everyone.
Red Pill Book For Tribalists #3 – The Book Of Pook
One of the greatest things to come out of the manosphere and red pill. It’s hard to believe that Pook started to MGTOW movement considering how some of its “adherents” have become. This book is severely under read and doesn’t get 1/100th of the popularity that it should. It laid of everything just about perfectly long before everyone came along and warped and misinterpreted everything. The Book of Pook is a self-development book that is so much more than self-development book. Pook manages to capture not only masculinity but how exactly real masculinity is the most attractive thing to women in a poetic way.
Pook is well versed with the classics which gives this book a deep well of wisdom and understanding that is missing from many red pill texts. Pook even talks about how the knowledge and understanding the red pill seeks has been in the classics for those that can see and look for it. Pook talks about how men should focus on becoming the best that they can be and how this is the best way to attract women among other things. This book covers a lot of ground and contains a whole lot of wisdom that is missing in many other places.
Summary
Next I’m going to do a 3 tribalist books that every red piller needs to read. I think that a synthesization of the best elements of the many modern (or ancient) movements that we say around us is what is needed. For example on this site you’ll find me recommend everything from Arnold’s Enclyclopedia of Bodybuilding to Dempsey’s Championship Fighting to the classics to texts by Evola and Guenon to much more. Don’t get bogged down with a mindset that isn’t flexible (but at the same time learn to recognize truth from B.S.). Synthesization, strength, and forward movement is what is needed. Check out these books, read them, digest them, and most important of all implement what you learn from them.
