EMPOWER YOURSELF THROUGH THE HIDDEN SYSTEM THAT KEEPS OTHERS POWERLESS! The only book of its kind to have ever been written. What is the “Game” and how do you learn to play? Take a journey through the hidden knowledge and wisdom that many consider priceless. The Game is an anomaly; it is often spoken about but never defined. It has been that way for centuries, and for a good reason. I talk a lot about the Game and I realize that the majority of people have no idea what I’m talking about. It’s time to change that. This is what I call the, “Little Black Book.” This book breaks down in detail what the Game is, how it works and how you can use it to improve every area of your life. To be honest, this book may not be for you and I was very hesitant on releasing it. The reason is because when the Game is used unethically it can cause people to do things that are not in their best interest. But when I look at the general state of the Game and the World, I knew releasing this book was necessary. The Game itself is a system of knowledge, changing your perspective on situations and altering your standards. The foundation of the Game is empowerment through brutal honesty and self-reflection. These principles, if you honestly apply them, will change your life. Trivial matters which worried you before will no longer be of consequence. This is a Playbook – Packed with simple real-life principles that will enable you to excel in the real world. If it is your “time” for this information, you will know it. • Conquer fear, doubt and worry • Learn seven key principles that will make you a force to be reckoned with • Understand the hidden Structure of the Game and why it’s never taught to you • Discover why you hardly ever succeed at achieving your goals and how to change that • Understand how you’ve been programmed for failure (and why) • Understand one of the biggest “secrets” of the mind and how to use it to your advantage • Discover how to boost your self-confidence and develop unshakable integrity • Learn to increase personal value, influence people around you and rise to the top of your social circle • Acquire the ability to make less destructive decisions • Achieve the powerful ability to see through manipulations and lies • And this only scratches the surface… This information will change your life, just like it changed mine. Just one honest and open-minded reading from cover to cover, will have you looking at yourself and life like never before!

Nineteen-year-old Greg Sestero met Tommy Wiseau at an acting school in San Francisco. Wiseau’s scenes were rivetingly wrong, yet Sestero, hypnotized by such uninhibited acting, thought, “I have to do a scene with this guy.” That impulse changed both of their lives. Wiseau seemed never to have read the rule book on interpersonal relationships (or the instructions on a bottle of black hair dye), yet he generously offered to put the aspiring actor up in his LA apartment. Sestero’s nascent acting career first sizzled, then fizzled, resulting in Wiseau’s last-second offer to Sestero of co-starring with him in The Room, a movie Wiseau wrote and planned to finance, produce, and direct—in the parking lot of a Hollywood equipment-rental shop.
Wiseau spent $6 million of his own money on his film, but despite the efforts of the disbelieving (and frequently fired) crew and embarrassed (and frequently fired) actors, the movie made no sense. Nevertheless, Wiseau rented a Hollywood billboard featuring his alarming headshot and staged a red carpet premiere. The Room made $1,800 at the box office and closed after two weeks. One reviewer said that watching The Room was like “getting stabbed in the head”.
The Disaster Artist is Greg Sestero’s laugh-out-loud funny account of how Tommy Wiseau defied every law of artistry, business, and friendship to make “the Citizen Kane of bad movies” (Entertainment Weekly), which is now an international phenomenon, with Wiseau himself beloved as an oddball celebrity. Written with award-winning journalist Tom Bissell, The Disaster Artist is an inspiring tour de force that reads like a page-turning novel, an open-hearted portrait of an enigmatic man who will improbably capture your heart.
Raymond Gunt likes to think of himself as a pretty decent guy—he believes in karma, and helping his fellow man, and all that other good stuff. Sure, he can be foulmouthed, occasionally misogynistic, and can just generally rub people the wrong way—through no fault of his own! So with all the positive energy he’s creating, it’s a little perplexing to consider the recent downward spiral his life has taken. . . . Could the universe be trying to tell him something? A B-unit cameraman with no immediate employment prospects, Gunt decides to accept his ex-wife Fiona’s offer to shoot a Survivor-style reality show on an obscure island in the Pacific. With his upwardly failing sidekick, Neal, in tow, Gunt somehow suffers multiple comas and unjust imprisonment, is forced to reenact the “Angry Dance” from the movie Billy Elliot, and finds himself at the center of a nuclear war—among other tribulations and humiliations. A razor-sharp portrait of a morally bankrupt and gleefully wicked modern man, Worst. Person. Ever. is a side-splittingly funny and gloriously filthy new novel from acclaimed author Douglas Coupland. A deeply unworthy audiobook about a dreadful human being with absolutely no redeeming social value, it’s guaranteed to brighten up your day.
A compendium of human wisdom culled from the world’s celebrated–and anonymous –minds, from Confucius and Shakespeare to Maya Angelou and Woody Allen.

“The riders in a race do not stop short when they reach the goal. There is a little finishing canter before coming to a standstill . . . The canter that brings you to a standstill need not be only coming to rest. It cannot be, while you still live. For to live is to function. That is all there is to living.”
-Oliver Wendell Holmes Jr., on his 90th birthday (March 31, 1931) and after more than a half-century as Justice of the the Supreme Court
“We should be careful to get out of an experience only the wisdom that is in it-and stop there; lest we be like the cat that sits down on a hot stove-lid. She will never sit down on a hot stove-lid again-and that is well; but also she will never sit down on a cold one anymore.”
-Samuel L. Clemens (“Mark Twain”), American author
“It is a good thing for an uneducated man to read books of quotations.”
-Sir Winston Churchill, My Early Life, 1930
“We have flown the air like birds and swum the sea like fishes, but have yet to learn the simple act of walking the earth like brothers.”
-Dr. Martin Luther King Jr., American civil rights leader
