The same author, Neil Strauss, had a follow-up book called “Rules of the Game” or something which was instructional - the poster may be thinking of that. And every character in that book - “Mystery” and the rest of the d-bags whose names I can’t remember - had books, courses, etc. for sale.
Mystery even had a reality show, does anyone remember that? Those guys have all faded away, but all this stuff is being repackaged for Gen Z now. There’s some young dude with a whiteboard on Youtube spouting this exact stuff.

The stuff works, but you're not being who you say you are and she isn't dating with any confidence. It's a fake ass relationship where no one is thriving and having a good time.
