In the way The Game was about dating, Emergency was about fear of death and survival and this one’s about the fear of intimacy, connection and family. I don’t see it as a sequel, exactly, but as a continuation of chronicling a life and the challenges in that life. The Truth is available now, and in the midst of a busy tour, Neil Strauss was kind enough to join us in conversation about The Truth, his previous works, fatherhood and how to live a happy life.Ĭould you tell me about how The Truth has been billed as a sequel to The Game? No, I never thought of it as a sequel ’til it was almost done.

Strauss may be an example to follow, as he’s recently had his first child and is happily married, all as a result of dealing with his personal issues and working to make his relationship stronger. Strauss is back with The Truth - a book which examines the failings of thinking in not just his own relationships, but also the mental health of society. Though founded on the basis of people having better relationships and improving themselves, not everyone took that away as the message. With The Game, however, Strauss found himself in a new level of success, following his immersive experience in the seduction community. His career began telling the stories of some of the musics industries greatest artists, he’s written a book about survival techniques and even released a collection of interviews from his decades long career.

It’s not the first time New-York Times bestselling author Neil Strauss has had to fall under these claims, though. It’s even more suspicious to some when they release a book chronicling these changes, and providing insight with how people can improve themselves and their relationships. It’s easy for life changing events in celebrities to be swept under the rug or billed as some sort of ploy.
