As a professional hypnotist, scientist and tenured professor for the
last 25-odd years, there is one rule that I always abide by with
absolutely no exceptions:
Everything that I teach or vouch for must be validated
scientifically and backed by rigorous, peer-reviewed research.
So, in kicking off Derek Rake’s Shogun Method™, I’d like to preface
this course with this statement:
The Shogun Method™ is fully validated scientifically and its
theories are completely backed by scientifically robust research
and methodologies.
This is important because there is high chance that you have been
duped, especially if you’ve bought a dating product or two in the last
few years. I can almost guarantee you that you’ve been reading
about techniques or tricks which are not rooted in hard science.
Some experts or teachers of “Pickup Artist” trickery may want you to
believe that their techniques are based on the study of human
psychology, but their claims are likely to be untrue.
This is how I know. About 16 months ago, Dr Nicholas HudsonGreen of University College (who was then working as a researcher
under my supervision) took a sample of 34 most popular dating
advice programs and did a comprehensive peer review with our inhouse research validation framework. The results had us completely
startled – not one of the 34 programs that we sampled pass our
stringent peer review criteria. None.
I am happy to report that the Shogun Method™ is different. One of
the many things that Derek Rake and I share in common is the
conviction that dating advice for men must have its roots in the“hard” science of psychology, persuasion and hypnosis.
The concepts that you will learn inside this book (Fractionation,
Attraction Buttons, Emotional Roller Coasters, Dual Polarity) are
tried-and-true psychology concepts. Derek Rake can legitimately
make the claim to be the pioneer in adapting these scientifically
validated theories in the field of dating and attraction.
As a lifelong humanist and a trained scientist, I don’t go for
gimmicks. In the case of the Shogun Method™, it may well be the
least gimmicky dating advice program for men you will ever find.
In the end, if you go through the entire program and you follow the
recommended exercises and strategies, I am confident that you can
attain the power to attract women beyond your imagination. I know
this for a fact as I have devoted a lifetime researching the same
principles and theories in the academia.
I wish you everlasting happiness from a lifelong mastery of dating
and attraction made possible by this book.
