Only Read This If You Are A Lion on a Mission (Sheep Need Not Apply)
If you are interested in getting ahead in your career, being a leader of any business or community, creating a following, or better understanding the art of persuasion, the lessons in this quick and vital read will get you there.Now, I do want to clearly offer this disclaimer, as this book is not for every audience:1 - This book is NOT for the easily offended, particularly those with no sense of humor regarding political correctness, feminism, liberalism, conscious living, or the like. To maximize your value, you must put away your white hat, and must pick up your sense of humor and understand satire. If you tend to take the ideas I listed above way too seriously, this is not a book for you.2 - This book is a fast read and it's cheap. It is worth more pennies than it costs and if you read and implement one chapter a day, you will have more impact and make more money. From start to finish, the ideas in this book have grown my mail list, increased my following on social media, and increased the dollars flowing into my bank account (persuasion is crucial for any leader and, of course, any copywriter).3 - If you are a woman, you can change the pronouns as needed. This book was clearly written for a male audience. Still the lessons work no matter what gender you were born with or identify with.4 - If you only like to read non-fiction archaic textbook tomes, this book is not high brow enough for you. Even though you will get even more value far more quickly from this book than most of the highly touted big-name business books out there in the world today.Villians is your money-shot!

It's as if Robert Greene and Ross Jeffries had an illicit love child they named Machiavelli who later changed his name to "Ben".
I loved this book. It's as if Robert Greene and Ross Jeffries had an illicit love child they named Machiavelli who later changed his name to "Ben" because because it would be easier to pickup dames.He might be my long-lost marketing brother as this book summarizes many of the lessons I've learned over the years myself.Hard-won lessons that took me from a typical AFC "nice guy" to what I am now: The epitome of awesome! Was skeptical at first as a lot of cheap kindle books that authors tend to crank out are pure crapola. Not this one. Although it's a quick read it's definitely worth the price of admission. Don't even think about it: Just buy it and you can thank me later.

If you're a woman working in a male-dominated industry, you need to read this book.
If you're a woman working in a male-dominated industry, you need to read this book.You may not - wait - you WILL not like everything that the author has to say, especially if you feel the world should always be just and politically correct. However, that is exactly why you need to read it.I worked as a manager in the service end of the automotive industry for a decade. Now that I'm self-employed, I find myself yet again in a niche in which I'm surrounded by guys. Many of the secrets I personally used to succeed and gain the respect of a bunch of dudes were revealed in the book, plus some other tips that hadn't even crossed my mind.This book succinctly dives into the mindset of successful people and the take-home facts are that you must not give two hoots about being PC, but you must at the same time be a decent human being. There's a balance, and this book will tell you how to strike that balance.Although it was written with a male audience in mind, that can be very beneficial to women, because you get a glimpse into that psyche. This is especially useful when you're the only gal in the boys' club of your industry.This is a short, sweet, and entertaining read that explains why putting your goals first will get you to the top of whatever industry you happen to be in. Unlike most success guides, it's very introvert-friendly, which gets it even higher marks from me.Stop being such delicate flowers, ladies. Read the book, use the lessons in it, and win.

A concussion device!
This isn't your usual Ben Settle how-to-do-it book. This is an attitudinal instruction guide, 10 lessons not about how to build a business or market your services but about how to keep yourself from being run over by the delicate flowers who routinely monopolize your time and crush your spirit. It's short, snappy, and worth keeping at hand at all times. More a powerful concussion device than a simple motivational pep talk. Bravo, Ben Settle!

How to be John Wick. The book.
That pretty much sums up what this book is.No, you're not going to learn how to dish out the hurt in a nightclub with just a suit and a tuxedo. But you ARE going to discover the mindset needed to have the sheer focus, will power and force needed to become a man as feared and respected as John Wick.This book is a manual on how be the best at what you do.And how to earn the respect of those around you.All in a very short and straightforward read.

amongst the top 3 books I ever read on owning your dark side for the good of all
We have a problem in this society. And the problem can be summarised as this: white must win. And I don't mean that in a racist kind of way. Not at all. I mean that in a yin-yang kind of way. I mean we have been conditioned to believe that we must be 'nice'. Yin and yang can be thought of as complementary (rather than opposing) forces that interact to form a dynamic system in which the whole is greater than the assembled parts. According to this philosophy, everything has both yin and yang aspects (for instance, shadow cannot exist without light). We need balance. We have been sheepled as a society to think that we must be 'nice' at all costs. This is bad advice, terrible advice. You must own your shadow if you ever wish to be a complete person. And this book tells it straight up! It's not about being the 'bad guy', any more as it is being the 'nice guy'. Its about embracing your shadow. Your Hero and your Villain. Balance. Wholeness. This book can unlesh your inner greatness held back by hiding half of yourself.

Classic Ben Settle
Like all of Ben's work this is concise, hard-hitting and gets all his ideas across without wasting a single page. A worthy read for any aspiring villain/persuasion student/marketer etc.P.S. If you're not subscribed to his emails - do so now. They are the single best free marketing resource out there, and quite frankly better than 95% of the paid ones
