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.

What does it mean to be a man in the modern world? Throughout history, being a man has meant different things. Maybe being a man was about being a good hunter, or a good soldier, a good businessman, or maybe good with women. Hard Times Create Strong Men examines what it means to be a man in the modern world relative to money, sex, religion, and politics. This audiobook examines what worked and what doesn’t work based on proven history instead of feelings.

The Oracle examines what it means to be a woman in the modern world and explores the four types of women: oracles, queens, princesses, and whores. What each type of woman is and how they fit into the world of power of the world of men. The definition of a woman has become more flexible than ever in history, and The Oracle offers a clear path to what is feminine instead of feminist. Where the world encourages women to become men by competing with men, The Oracle allows a woman to find harmony with the male species by embracing her femininity.

What is masculinity? Ask ten men and you'll get ten vague, conflicting answers. Unlike any book of its kind, The Way of Men offers a simple, straightforward answer - without getting bogged down in religion, morality, or politics. It's a guide for understanding who men have been and the challenges men face today. The Way of Men captures the silent, stifling rage of men everywhere who find themselves at odds with the overregulated, overcivilized, politically correct modern world.

What is more powerful than to influence and persuade the mind of another? To influence and persuade is to sell and to sell is human. In business and in life, there is only one way to make money and that is to sell. You either sell your time or you sell something else. The art of selling has always been powerful and will always be the key to reaching an unlimited income in business and in life.

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.

In Fire in the Dark, author Jack Donovan - best known for his underground classic, The Way of Men - explores the common themes in these myths that are still relevant to the lives of men today. Beginning with the simple, primal metaphor of the campfire, Donovan identifies a tripartite system of masculine roles and shows how those roles have been repeated again and again throughout the history of myth and religion.

Men have been conditioned to be the quintessential "nice guy". They're trained to be overly humble, kind to a fault, and that just "being themselves" is enough to attract and keep the woman of their dreams. Men are told to believe that conventional masculinity is toxic and to put women ahead of their own interests, passions, and purpose. This book exposes the comforting lies you've been told throughout your life for what they really are, enabling you to become a truly authentic alpha who chases excellence and leads a successful passion-filled life.

Good, modern, civilized Western men today are expected to think like "citizens of the world" - obligated to everyone and no one. Natural, meaningful tribal connections have been substituted with synthetic, disposable consumer identities. Without a sense of who they are and what group they have a place in, modern men are becoming increasingly detached, disoriented, vulnerable, and ever more easily manipulated.

In A More Complete Beast, Jack Donovan picks up Friedrich Nietzsche's thoughts on nobility and master morality and uses them to guide men through an "upside-down" modern world, avoid the trap of hateful ressentiment, and overcome adversity through creativity. In Donovan's hands, Nietzsche's words are rasps and chisels to help men refine a strength-based ethos, revealing their highest and noblest selves to become more complete men. And, as Nietzsche reminded us, man is a beast - so to become a more complete man is always to become a more complete beast.

Publisher's Summary
You deserve to have power.
It is yours for the taking.
Gene Simmons is here to unlock the doors to the temple.
Gene Simmons, KISS front man, multihyphenate entrepreneur, and master of self-invention, shares his philosophy on power - how to attain it, how to keep it, and how to harness it as a driving force in business and in life.
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. With one-of-a-kind anecdotes from his life and career as well as stories from historical and contemporary masters of power, including Winston Churchill, Napoleon Bonaparte, Warren Buffett, Michael Jordon, Oprah, and Elon Musk, Simmons crafts a persuasive and provocative theory on how the pursuit of power drives civilization and defines our lives.
The rules of power are changing in today's fast-paced, hyperconnected world in a way that Machiavelli never could have imagined, and we all need to learn to adapt. Simmons tells listeners: Ignore the negatives. Be unrelenting. Rise above the rest. You are the architect of your success.

Thoroughly entertaining and educational. I was disappointed to find the author wasn’t reading the book. Alan Sklar gives a remarkable performance. I highly recommend this book. Love or hate Gene Simmons. Agree or not, he’s a brilliant guy.

A TOTAL Surprise!
I stumbled on this book in a store, and picked it up out of curiosity, expecting the usual cocky attitude Gene often displays. Randomly opened to the chapter on Dave Grohl and couldn't stop reading! This book showed a side of Gene that was far more relatable than I ever expected! I'm not a fan of his larger than life ego...but in this book he seems far more down to earth and humble than I ever imagined. Oh, there's still an overdose of confidence, but he's far more palatable, and it was an interesting read for this 50 year old, who had been a huge KISS fan in the 70's. I liked it!

An elegant portrayal of basic Information
Gene puts together a practice guide to being an effective adult (it could be subtitled “what to do after puberty is over”). On Power is an easy to understand review of concepts many people know but forget and never use due to what he would describe it in the book as “entitlement” or being “sheltered.” Gene hits it spot on with “On Power” and I look forward to the next one of his books I will listen too. Alan Sklar is a great orator and sounds like Gene I think, though honestly I just started getting into his music. Quick last little note this book is NOT a politically correct (PC) book and Gene makes a point of calling out common erroneous PC thought patterns that detract from people’s actual standing in the world. If you are one of those people who lives life looking for a chance to be offended and act indignant this book will definitely be an ego threat for you. Thanks Gene!

His other book is better.
I liked Gene Simmons' other book, Me Inc. This one had a few highlights, but not as informative. I enjoyed hearing about his life, and a few tidbits. I really enjoyed hearing stories about Oprah, Elon Musk, Stan Lee, and Warren Buffett towards the end! This book was ok, but not life changing for me.
