About this listen

This audiobook is narrated by an AI Voice.
For years, the hardest walk in his life was the few metres across a room to say hello.

Gourav grew up in Pune as a quiet boy who froze around women. Then he left home and started walking across the floor: in cafés in London, on buses in Warsaw, in hostels in Goa and on beaches in Kerala. He kept count. He made every mistake a man can make, and slowly learned what none of the pickup books had taught him.

Approaches is an honest, funny and sometimes painful memoir of one man's journey from silence to love. Each chapter ends with a law drawn from what went wrong and what went right: twenty-four laws that move from counting women to truly seeing them, from chasing a yes to respecting a no, and from half your attention to all of it.

Every chapter also asks how she felt, giving the women in these stories the voice the younger author never thought to ask for.

For anyone who has ever stood at the edge of a room, wanting to say hello and not knowing how.

Inspired by real events; names and identifying details have been changed.
