7 MUST-READ nofap books when you are on nofap
I have compiled all the books that have really impacted my life in a BIG way.
The books cut across various aspects of life, and you’ll be amazed if you can read and (or) listen to them.
That said, the list contains affiliate links. If you buy through these links, you’ll be helping me out in keeping this website running.
Without further ado, let’s get into it.
Your Brain on Porn by Gary Wilson
Your Brain on Porn was my first real insight into porn addiction. This book gave me the conviction that porn addiction is real.
This book is rooted in scientific research. Wilson provided the science of why porn can be addictive and how bad of a problem it’s become in our society.
YBOP is the book that sort of blew the lid off of porn addiction and introduced the world to the concept.
With millions of copies sold worldwide, and the book already translated into several languages, the wealth of knowledge in YBOP is undeniable.
When you’re attempting nofap, or you’re already doing it, if you really want to get educated on the side-effects of excessive PMO, you should consider listening to this book or reading it.
I listen to this book every now and then, and after a session of listening, it kind of reminds me of the havoc that porn has wrecked on my life. With this, I get a renewed motivation to make NoFap my way of life.
A World Without Porn by Yours Truly
Because of the way I struggled with achieving the nofap challenge, I promised myself back then that if I successfully break this addiction, I would teach others how to do it.
While some people find the nofap challenge easy to do after one or two tries, the majority of us find nofap difficult to do.
I was a chronic porn addict for 13 years. Been watching porn since I was 12 years old. Of the 13 years, 7 years had been about trying to quit. During the seven years, I searched high and mighty for help. I just couldn’t find any.
All the books I read said something like this, “You have a porn addiction, stop watching porn”. And that would be the extent of it.
There wasn’t ANY comprehensive, cheap, and most importantly, effective help for porn addicts.
So, I went to work.
I read books, researches, saw a therapist, tried different things, tested different things on myself. The ones that really helped in successfully breaking this addiction, I wrote in a step-by-step easy-to-use format in the book I titled;
A World Without Porn
My struggle with porn addiction helped me achieve empirical validation for the work in this book. Achieving a breakthrough after 7 years of consistent relapse proved that there can’t be many addicts out there that have it worse than me. So, if the methods in the book can work for me, it can work for anybody else. And I was right!!
I took these methods to over 30 other porn addicts I met through my website and the nofap forums; it worked like magic for them.
Since publication to the time of writing this, I’ve sold 2,686 copies of this book and I’ve received over 300 written testimonies from people telling me that the methods I demonstrated in the book have helped them break their porn and masturbation addiction.
The book contains everything you’ll ever need to quit porn and never look back.
Over the years, people that have applied the methods in this book have only good things to say. It has helped them achieved the nofap challenge after several years of struggle.
The book has metamorphosed into a full-blown course with accompanying mp3s and materials that will speed up rebooting and recovery. These add-ons come at no extra cost and if you take the time to check it out, you’ll realize the book is of great value
No More Mr. Nice Guy by Dr. Robert Glover
This book is a product of years and years of the author’s experience, patients’ experiences, and all sorts of field-tested facts and statistics.
Till I read this book, I had no idea what a nice guy syndrome was. I had no idea that I was a nice guy.
This book resonated with me so much that after reading it, I read it again, and again, and again. Then I recommended it to two friends, who also read it over and over again.
This book will help you understand why you developed a PMO addiction in the first place. Because chances are if you’re addicted to porn, you are a nice guy. You can take that to the bank.
The kicker is that this nice guy syndrome affects every other part of your life; your relationships, your finances, your career, and so on.
Doing nofap is a huge step in getting rid of this syndrome. The author also reveals the ways to get rid of this syndrome and live a better life as a result.
Outwitting the Devil by Napoleon Hill
This is the book that gave me my breakthrough in life.
This book is my Bible.
I live my life in accordance to the rules and guidelines set forth by Mr. Hill in this book.
After reading this book, I understood how fear had been holding me back and how it’s been blocking all the things I wanted to manifest in my life.
This book is a follow up to his record-breaking book; think and grow rich. It reveals the ways to apply what he taught in think and grow rich in the practical scene of life.
Napoleon Hill told his story of how he struggled to apply what he’s been teaching millions of people. And how he tested those philosophies for himself and got the empirical validation that the philosophies are true for anybody that would apply them.
Outwitting the devil is an interview that Mr. Hill had with the devil. He forced the devil to reveal all his secrets in this book. He revealed how PMOing will keep you mediocre and how channeling your sexual energy can make you a superior man among your peers.
In this book, you get to understand how the devil has been using several mainstream media and authority in our society to do his bidding.
One thing I realized after reading this book was that transformation is never too late. Anytime you decide to wake up from the deep slumber you’ve been put in, you can truly live the type of life you want to live.
The Subtle Art of Not Giving a Fuck by Mark Manson*
Mark Manson is not your conventional author. His view on life is counter-intuitive.
And he does a good job of serving the dishes of several unpalatable truths in their raw form.
He’s a say-it-as-you-see-it kind of guy and that’s what always makes his books hypnotic.
This book will get you to think, and more importantly, get you to set your priorities in life.
The Subtle Art of not giving a Fuck delves into the core values that you live your life by. Most people have negative values that aren’t sustainable and this can be costing them their happiness.
To live a happy life, you need to choose positive and sustainable values and these values would move you into the direction that you really want to go. Mason reveals ways to go about obtaining these sustainable values.
He also reveals how to choose the important things in your life to give a fuck about.
At the time I read this book, I was going through a depression phase and this book helped me out of that phase. And not only that, it helped me figure out what really mattered in my life. By the time I finished reading the book, I was able to find the silver lining amidst the darkness.
The Power of Now by Eckhart Tolle
This book on spiritual enlightenment has sold over 10 million copies worldwide and has been translated into over 30 languages.
This was the book that introduced me to my higher self and the power of living in the moment.
Ekhart Tole delved into how we are always either living in our memories or how we are always projecting the future.
We rarely live in the moment. We are rarely present.
Reading this book will help you a lot when you’re on nofap. It will help you leave your ego-mind behind and this allows the higher self to take control.
Relapsing on nofap has to do with the ego-mind and how all these porn thoughts invade without your permission.
When you try the things recommended in this classic book, you’ll be able to be mindful and have more control over your mind. And this is the key to nofap success.

*Atomic Habits by James Clear
As I always tell my readers, nofap is a tool for transforming your life. And the best way to transform your life is to build better habits.
Whenever you’re on nofap, I expect you to be using the energy and time you’re gaining from a No-PMO lifestyle to work on yourself, to build better habits that’ll make you the best version of yourself.
When it comes to building better habits, the best and most practical book I’ve ever seen on the subject is atomic habits by James Clear.
The book teaches you how to build better habits in simple and easy to apply steps.
If you read this book together with your nofap practice, you must build better habits and improve your life.
Think and Grow Rich by Napoleon Hill**
I assume you’ve read this book or at least heard about it somewhere.
Why?
Because as at the time of writing this post, this book has officially sold over 15 million copies worldwide. It revolutionized (if not ushered in) the self-help and self-improvement industry.
This is the book that fueled the nofap movement. The chapter on sexual transmutation opened people’s eyes to the fact the fapping to porn is affecting their success in life.
Napoleon Hill was tasked by Andrew Carnegie to study over 500 successful people and observe what makes them successful. It was his findings that he published in this book.
