I tried explaining spooks using the example of die hard vegans. When I explained who Stirner considers humans rights as a spook that should be dropped I ran against some protest - I didn't push it any further.

>What do?
Make a guess what their reading.
Most often people read for school/university, I'd guess from one look at it if it's math/business/chemistry and say how I relate to the subject.
They'll often say what they study, then you again say how you relate to that field. You go on with
>I heard that...*x students are so and so*
>Is it true that *so and so*??
or
>I have friends who study this, they say that *so and so*
or you say at this point what you do, and what you know.
Then sooner or later I'd ask them if they can hand my their stuff. Brows through the book/text.
I'd often say what my favorite format of books is, hardcover/size etc.
In any case, you say how you feel about this and that, and as soon as she engages and says what she things or feels about something, you should either disagree or ask (in a sort of psychological analysis way) Why is that??
More generally, be conscious about your inner monologue and express what you feel about stuff. And also be aware if she reveals an opinion (try to get off the monologue that you inevitable have to start at first) and engage/counter/sympathies with it. If you're sincere, that's hardly ever bad. Even if you sketch why you never considered reading John Green.
At this point you're over the hurdle and you can slow down the conversation, let her do more of the talking.
You eventually want to find something you both like, talk about events in the city, food, and in the end you'll tell "hey, give me your number *hands over phone*, maybe we can XXX in two weeks or so."

That's completely unrelated.
In fact Stirner doesn't speak of the ego at all, that's a bad English translation - he speaks of the unique individual.
Stirner would consider Tollo to be extremely spooky - that's not to say he'd recommend that you don't adopt the Tolle teachings. It's just that Tolle has a clear idea of what's good and what's bad, and how even society as a whole should develop. He consequently implicitly tells everyone what they should do.
Stirner doesn't even accept the declaration of human rights! In fact, in Stirners rhetoric, all rights are shackles - e.g. if you have the right to buy alcohol starting with 18, then this is just a positive framing of: You're not allowed to buy alc before 18!
Stirner is actually fun to read, and consequently

You're an asshole tbh.

But I don't know about the Englisch translation.

Tolles stuff is written as self-help. He says
"Don't be in your head: Reduce thinking about past and future."
I like the appeal to a mediative lifestyle, but I don't like the teaching as such. While talking about the supernatural (if you can stomach that at all), he twist some historical figures and actions to his ideology and this loses me.

I don't think you'll pull though with it. Like many philosophers of his time, he's attacking socialism/capitalism/state/... (in fact Stirner doesn't like all of those), and you seem like a /fit/ bro who just wants to sharpen his view of where to take your live.
To be honest, I discovered I lack the necessary Hegel to really understand Stirners perspective and reason why he writes certain things.

I'd say you should start reading 30 minutes a day before going to sleep. Not Stirner, but books in general.

Protip: It is not only more visible and effective, but also much much easier to just take the bait book with you and put it open on the coffee shop table next to whatever you do.

I've pulled girls from there, reading textbooks. (Let's be honest, from about 100 girls I talked to, I had 7 dates or so and fucked one.): And (unless they were waitresses there) I don't recall any of them starting the conversation.

Ah, my thinking must have been as follows:
Let's say she drinks a cup of coffee. I might go with this and ask where to get better coffee than here. I'm not talking about her cup in particular (like "what sort of coffee are you drinking"), I rather just
>ask a question regarding something in the surroundings.
I think that's looser.

Der Einzige und sein Eigenthum

I'm completely unrelated to this (>>6692966) posted btw.

What is Le Petit Prince, The Little Prince, teaching?
What point is the book really making?

I read it twice, and mostly I only get sympathy for melancholic feels.
