Story
There would have been no KISS without Gene Simmons, the outrageous star whose superlong tongue, legendary sexual exploits, and demonic makeup have made him a rock icon. KISS and Make-Up is the wild, shocking, unbelievable story, from the man himself, about how an immigrant boy from Israel studied to be a rabbi, was saved by rock and roll, and became one of the most notorious rock stars the world has ever seen.

Story
As cofounder of KISS, America's number one gold-record award-winning group of all time, Simmons knows the thrill and seduction of power firsthand. But gold records alone don't equal power. The decisions you make once you attain a certain level of success are what separate the pretenders from the pantheon. Inspired by Niccolo Machiavelli's The Prince, Simmons offers his unique take on the dynamics of power in every realm of life, from the bedroom to the boardroom, to the world of rock, celebrity, and social media, to politics.

The world’s greatest bodybuilder. The world’s highest-paid movie star. The leader of the world’s sixth-largest economy. That these are the same person sounds like the setup to a joke, but this is no joke. This is Arnold Schwarzenegger. And this did not happen by accident. Arnold’s stratospheric success happened as part of a process. As the result of clear vision, big thinking, hard work, direct communication, resilient problem-solving, open-minded curiosity, and a commitment to giving back. All of it guided by the one lesson Arnold’s father hammered into him above all: be useful.

Story
With over 70 million records sold, Black Sabbath, dubbed by Rolling Stone “the Beatles of heavy metal,” helped create the genre itself, with their distinctive heavy riffs, tuned down guitars, and apocalyptic lyrics. Bassist and primary lyricist Geezer Butler played a gigantic part in the band’s renown, from suggesting the band name to using his fascination with horror, religion, and the occult to compose the lyrics and build the foundation of heavy metal as we know it. In Into the Void, Butler tells his side of the story.

People ask me how come I'm still alive, and I don't know what to say. When I was growing up, if you'd have put me up against a wall with the other kids from my street and asked me which one of us was gonna make it to the age of 60, with five kids and four grandkids and houses in Buckinghamshire and California, I wouldn't have put money on me, no f--king way. But here I am: ready to tell my story, in my own words, for the first time. A lot of it ain't gonna be pretty. I've done some bad things in my time. But I ain't the devil.

In his early 20s, Curtis Jackson, known as 50 Cent, rose to the heights of fame and power in the cutthroat music business. A decade ago, the multi-platinum selling rap artist decided to pivot. His ability to adapt to change was demonstrated when he became the executive producer and star of Power, a high-octane, gripping crime drama centered around a drug kingpin's family. The series quickly became "appointment" television, leading to Jackson inking a four-year, $150 million contract with the Starz network - the most lucrative deal in premium cable history.

Since you were old enough to hold a job, you've been hoodwinked to believe that wealth can be created by blindly trusting in the uncontrollable and unpredictable markets: the housing market, the stock market, and the job market. I call this soul-sucking, dream-stealing dogma "The Slowlane" - an impotent financial gamble that dubiously promises wealth in a wheelchair. For those who don't want a lifetime subscription to "settle-for-less", there is an alternative.

We're in the middle of an epidemic of average. So-called "normal" people get up every day, go to work, do what's asked of them, leave promptly at five, and return home to sit on the couch and watch TV. Society tells us that this is what it means to lead a balanced life. Don't stress too much or work too hard. Your career isn't everything. But Grant Cardone thinks this preoccupation with balance has really just given an excuse to be mediocre.

Publisher's summary
The quintessential self-made man, master of brand identity, New York Times best-selling author, and award-winning executive, KISS's Gene Simmons, shares his manifesto for business success.
KISS did not become one of the most successful rock bands in history by accident. Long before they first took the stage, Gene Simmons and Paul Stanley had a clear-cut operating plan for their business. Over the past forty years, KISS has sold over 100 million CDs and DVDs worldwide and manages over 3,000 licensed merchandise items. In addition to KISS, Simmons' lucrative ventures include two hit reality shows, a professional sports team, a restaurant chain, and a record company. A recipient of the Forbes lifetime achievement award, this brilliant executive runs all of his businesses on his own - no personal assistant, few handlers, and as little red tape as possible.
In Me, Inc., the marketing and finance wizard gives aspiring entrepreneurs the critical tools they need to succeed. Simmons teaches you how to build a solid business strategy, harness the countless tools available in the digital age, network like hell, and be the architect for the business entity that is you. Inspired by The Art of War, Me, Inc. is organized around thirteen specific, easy-to-understand principles for success, drawn from Simmons’s own triumphs and failures. From finding the confidence necessary to get started, to surrounding yourself with the right people, to knowing when to pull the plug and when to double-down, these principles can help you attain the freedom and wealth of your dreams.

The Myth: If you get into a good college, study hard, and graduate with excellent grades, you will be pretty much set for a successful career. The Reality: The biggest thing you won't learn in college is how to succeed professionally. Some of the smartest, most successful people in the country didn't finish college. None of them learned their most critical skills in an institution of higher education. And like them, most of what you'll need to learn to be successful you'll have to learn on your own, outside of school.

In early 2012, Jim Tselikis visited LA and met up with his cousin Sabin Lomac. Over a few drinks they waxed nostalgic about their childhood in Maine, surrounded by family, often elbow deep in delicious lobster while gathered around the picnic table. From this strong memory was born the very first Cousins Maine Lobster food truck. Smart, authentic marketing, and sustainable, delicious ingredients helped turn that one food truck into an overnight sensation.

So why is Jonathan in the back seat of the limousine and Arthur in the front? What explains the difference between success and failure? Joachim de Posada found the answer in a Stanford University study of children who were able to delay gratification by not eating a marshmallow with the promise of receiving another one if they resisted eating the first for 15 minutes.

Story
There is a common misconception about KISS, one of the greatest hard rock/heavy metal bands of all time: that their "non-makeup" era of 1983-1996 is not as enduring as when they rocked stages as the Starchild, the Demon, the Spaceman, and the Cat. In fact, this period helped resuscitate KISS' career. While the majority of KISS books are focused on the iconic makeup era, the non-makeup years are ripe to be explored in book form, and Take It Off does just that, zeroing in on the albums KISS issued during this period, as well the resulting tours, videos, and other escapades.

From 1974 to 1980, the landscape of American culture was a banquet of hedonism and self-indulgence, and no person or company in that era was more emblematic of the times than Casablanca Records and its magnetic founder, Neil Bogart.

Not the Gene Simmons you THINK you know! 10 stars!
Would you listen to Me, Inc. again? Why?
Yes, I WILL listen to it again and again. This is a gold mine of wisdom. I had pre-ordered this book, which was a first for me. I was chomping at the bit to read it, because Gene is no fool. When I saw that he wrote a book about success, I had to have it. Think about it, the man's philosophy and his great work ethic got him where he is today, so he KNOWS his topic. While I was waiting for the book to be released, I sometimes wished I could pick his brain. Well, this book IS like sitting down with a FRIEND who is successful and who wants ME to do well in life. He didn't have to write this book, but he did, and I hope I can thank him personally one day. He is warm, caring, humble and brutally honest with both himself and the listener about his failings and his successes. I didn't BUY this book... it IS an INVESTMENT. An investment in ME.
What other book might you compare Me, Inc. to and why?
"The Seven Habits of Highly effective people". Both lay out proven wisdom and then explain it so well that you realize I CAN do this, I SHOULD do this, and I WILL do this. The trick is, to DO this. Awaken. See. ACT.
What does Gene Simmons and John Varvatos bring to the story that you wouldn’t experience if you just read the book?
The audio version really feels you've got a friend who cares about you. There is a lot of warmth and caring in this book. If you think that's nonsense, I challenge you to read his section on Philanthropy. Both Gene and John aren't just saying "Do this, and you'll be successful". They're saying You CAN do it!!!
Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting?
YES, ABSOLUTELY. I will often refer to this book.
Any additional comments?
I'm in my early 50's, and developed some successful guitar amplifiers and other musical instrument products. I lost my job a few years ago and shortly after that, I was diagnosed with a neurological condition. The diagnosis devastated me. I wasn't able to work anymore. I now receive Social Security Disability payments. (Like Gene said in the book, it's insurance that I paid into.) I thought I was finished and useless. About a year ago, I started believing in myself AND my abilities again. I sold my favorite vintage guitar (My ONLY guitar...) to get started working on a design for a musical instrument product that I want to patent (In fact, I showed my idea to Hartley Peavey and he told me I should patent it) and I bought recording gear to get going with songwriting, but I allowed fear self doubt to conquer me. NO MORE. We all fall down at different times in our lives, but this book helped me stand up again. Not only that, it made me WANT to stand up again. This book lit a fire under my backside after my first listen to it. That's a key word here: LISTEN. I have a lot to offer, and I, like Gene, have a pretty damn good gut instinct. My track record proves that. I made a lot of money for my bosses, and my goal is to turn my ideas into significant money for my family and I. (Gene quotes Dr. Farrah Gray on this topic, and Dr. Gray is correct.) I don't want to *need* my disability payments to get by, and I don't want to just "get by", either. I want to support myself and my family again, even better than I used to when I was working. Am I kissing up to Gene is this review? NO. I am extremely grateful to him? YOU'D BETTER BELIEVE IT, PAL. Big difference. BTW, if it wasn't for KISS, I wouldn't have entered the music business. Thank you, Gene. I wish you and your family all the best. PS: Next time you're in Big Bear, the coffee is on me!

Short and to the point!
I like Gene Simmons. I liked "Kiss and Make Up" and "Sex, Money Kiss". This book is like an updated version of the latter. It is truthful and to the point. One the key points that came home to me, was that most projects and business ventures fail. Being able to come to terms with this fact is very important. So is the ability to move on to the next project.
He is truthful and brutally honest, so if you are after sugar coated material this might not be for you. But overall I thought it was great.

Amazing BUSINESS book, don't use it as a LIFE book
What made the experience of listening to Me, Inc. the most enjoyable?
Gene's story is simply excellent and leaves you wishing for more details about his pre-KISS life.
What did you like best about this story?
The honesty of the observations and leaving political correctness to those who aren't interested in being successful.
What about Gene Simmons and John Varvatos ’s performance did you like?
I listed on 1.25 speed because Gene's voice is just a touch slow or maybe I'm just hyper.
What’s an idea from the book that you will remember?
Fail NOW, fail OFTEN so that you may succeed.
Any additional comments?
As I write this, there are very few reviews. I suspect many will come complaining about his insights on marriage and children and such because they will take him as saying he is against these things. The book delivers an objective, gloves off view of the requirements for massive success and is not a marriage book or parenting book. If you actually listen to what he says in context (wait to get married and wait to have kids), this is one of the best "get off your butt and start your own business" books out there.

Scomo Review Me, Inc.
Always wondered why some celebrities, for example Joan Rivers in comedy, Gene Simmons of Kiss in music, with good but not great talent, grew ( in Gene's case from impoverished beginnings) into multi, multi millionaires while other groups ended up dead broke. This book explains it all.

Gene at his best!
I grew up with KISS blasting from my brothers room every day. I enjoy the KISS shows but I'm not the kind who dresses up and hangs out with my KISS collection all day. This is the part of the band I have really been interested in. The stories about 5,000 one night stands are fine but I love the other side of Gene's story. The principles of success and ideas of what it takes to do something special in business are awesome.
I wish I heard this when I was 20. I will be sending this to my 44 year old brother, the one with the KISS collection.
Thanks Gene!

Gene Needs His Own Podcast
What about Gene Simmons and John Varvatos ’s performance did you like?
It's always nicer hearing the book in the authors book. Thanks Gene for taking the time, but after listening to the book you know that Gene goes the extra mile.
If you were to make a film of this book, what would the tag line be?
From Douchebag to Moneybags
Any additional comments?
Gene says some things that would be deemed controversial, but they are true WORK HARD, WORK SMART. I LOVED the section on how you need to learn English if you want to do business in America. "If Siri can't understand you, there is a problem" is a classic line. I thought the book showed a wiser, more mature Gene than in the past. He showed his shortcomings, and explained how he has been a jerk in the past. I thought that was cool. I knew how he grew up poor, but this contained details that I hadn't heard. If you want some straight talk, check this out. You don't need to be a Kiss fan to enjoy it (although I am).

Be A Rock God!
Would you recommend this audiobook to a friend? If so, why?
Absolutely. Gene Simmons really "gets it". I definetly saw "You" in "Me". I loved this audio book and listened to it 3 times. Gene does not sugarcoat anything and really lays out the realities of making it in America. I also recommend "Empowering The Professional Woman" by Susan Diane Howell for women who are trying to make it in the business world.
She decribes many similiar thought processes from the woman's perspective and she also came from the entertainment world.
Thank you Gene for taking the time to write this MUST HAVE book for the rest of us. You are truly inspiring and I'm also glad you have decided to commit to family. The only point that I will disagree on is that FAMILY MUST COME FIRST. Without your family Gene, you would have been zero in life. (Your mother, wife and kids.) You are nothing without them and do not ever question that.
What was one of the most memorable moments of Me, Inc.?
I liked Gene's contrast of his early upbringing in Israel and his newfound perspectives of American lifestyle. Most American's don't have a clue as to what America offers that the rest of the world does not enjoy. This is why native born Americans tend to be underachievers. We simply don't get it!
What does Gene Simmons and John Varvatos bring to the story that you wouldn’t experience if you just read the book?
Personalization. First person passion.
Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting?
You bet!
Any additional comments?
Thank you Gene for sharing and thank you John for supporting Gene's dream to write a book of legacy.

Gene holds nothing back
Gene holds nothing back in this book. he is not PC and I like that. He tells it like it is. if you get offended easily don't bother listening. Work hard and maybe, just maybe you will become your own "Rock God" in what ever you want.
