Can you imagine feeling relaxed and comfortable in social situations?
I couldn’t. I’d “freeze” around people. I was clueless about social rules and often misunderstood. People betrayed my trust, disrespected me, and treated me like a doormat.
The Social Gladiator helps you overcome these same issues.
Yeah, this guy in the white shirt who looks like a hobo about to ask you for some crack money. Take a good look at him.
That was me in high school.
I was obsessed with becoming liked, respected, and accepted by people around me. Instead, I was that weird guy who would draw cartoons in the back of the class, talk about things nobody cared about, and look creepy in social gatherings.
Don’t believe me? Look at this photo.
I didn’t even know how to play the guitar. I was thought it would make me look cool and impress people when I post it on Facebook.
The worst part is that I couldn’t figure out what I was doing wrong. Here I was, just as “normal” as everybody else, yet I had so much trouble talking to people without feeling like I’m diffusing a bomb.
I had no self-esteem, no confidence, and worst of all… no idea how to improve myself. I’m guessing you can relate to this, right?
I went on Google and typed in stuff like “how to become popular” and “how to improve my social skills.
This led me to a lot of bad advice.
From self-help “gurus” to pickup artists, everybody claimed to have “the magic formula” or “the golden technique”.
I tried everything I could. Some things worked, most didn’t. After almost two years of constant effort, I was pretty much the same person. Insecure. Unsocial. Unhappy.
Most people around me just seemed to “get it”. They knew how to behave in social groups and say the right things.
I didn’t. And this made me frustrated and anxious. I mean, I felt like there was something wrong with me. This stuff isn’t supposed to be so complicated. And I’m a pretty smart guy. Why can’t I figure it out?!
Instead, my mind was filled with thoughts like…
I honestly never believed I would ever be able to say these words, let alone truly believe them. But these days, I can’t imagine socializing being a source of stress for me. In fact, it’s a source of great pleasure.
Can you believe that this is me? The same weird-looking creepy guy from the beginning?
When people see my photos from high school, most of them can’t believe how different I used to be. When I tell them I was awkward, shy and insecure, they literally think I’m lying.
My personality is so different that people can’t imagine there was ever a time where I wasn’t a social and outgoing person.
Believe it or not, I wasn’t posing for this photo.
It looks like I was because I look confident in myself. You can see I’m. comfortable in my own skin and that power is visible even on a random, casually-taken photograph.
You cant tell by my body language, posture, look, and the way I dress that I have completely transformed.
Hi. I’m Phil Janecic, the guy behind Mind of Steel.
In 2014, I started sharing ideas about building mental strength, becoming disciplined and improving your social skills.
My writing was harsh and honest because I thought nobody would actually read it. It turned out that my brutally honest way of approaching important subjects was something a lot of people needed to hear.
Don’t pretend to be someone you’re not. Become someone you want to be.

“Books are an investment. I hear from people all the time who tell me they plan to buy this book or that book. Plan? Just buy it. I promised myself a long time ago that if I saw a book that interested me I’d never let time or money or anything else prevent me from having it. Not money, not time, not my own laziness.”
Ryan Holiday, Bestselling Author

No. Even though I’m a guy and my personal experience is from a guy’s perspective, this guide is focused on how anybody can deal with their insecurities and improve their social skills.
Yes! In my teens and early 20s, I was extremely shy and awkward around people. I’d go out every week with the sole intention of talking to one new person — then fail every single time. This book is all of the advice I needed at the time, but couldn’t get.

I have personally dealt with all of the issues the book covers. I also spent years researching psychology and understanding this topic, as well as coaching other people in becoming social.
I interviewed five people in total. 4/5 of people who had trouble being social and managed to overcome their issues (some with my direct help). They talk about dealing with issues like bullying, dating, travel, business, moving to a new place, etc.
One person I interviewed is someone who is very social and extraverted. He provides a lot of useful insights into how naturally social people view the world of social dynamics.
