Story4 out of 5 stars 544
For a long time, I found myself possessing the majority of those traits. I thought, "This is just who I am. I can't change that." Wrong. So Wrong. Most of these traits were handed to me, and probably you too, without request. With the way our society is organized (media, school, parents, etc.), these character traits proliferate. However, it wasn't until I started Un-Learning, that I truly became the well-rounded confident man I am today. Free and fulfilled in ways you can't currently imagine.

A blueprint. A bible. What Sun Tzu’s Art of War was to ancient China, Pimp is to the streets. As real as you can get without jumping in, this is the story of Iceberg Slim’s life as he saw, felt, tasted, and smelled it. It is a trip through hell by the one man who lived to tell the tale—the dangers of jail, addiction, and death that are still all too familiar for today’s black community. By telling the story of one man’s struggles and triumphs in an underground world, Pimp shows us the game doesn’t change; it just has a different swagger.

From one of the most revolutionary writers of the twentieth century comes the uncensored and gritty novel that inspired today's street lit and hip-hop culture. After my ninth birthday, I began to really understand the meaning of my name. I began to understand just what my mother was doing for a living. There was nothing I could do about it, but even had I been able to, I wouldn't have changed it.

Refusing to abandon his life in the ghetto and a chance at revenge, Folks is taken under the wing of an older mentor, Blue. What happens next is unbelievable.

Do you remember when you had your first thought of corporate America and working there? A job of high importance came to mind, maybe even wearing a suit and working in a fancy office. The sad truth in the matter of this place is, although it has its perks and benefits, it has about as much politics and as many cliques as the high school cafeteria. When thinking about life after high school we always imagined that the real world wouldn't have as many barriers.

Warning! What you are about to learn will change the way women look at you, how people treat you, and will skyrocket your confidence levels! It seems so simple. You want confidence. You want respect. You want to be an alpha male. So you read up on all the self-help pap on how to improve yourself. But, you still feel weak and depressed.... Unfortunately, a mere intellectual understanding of confidence, charisma, and the alpha male is not enough. You must first embody the presence of the alpha male. You must master the art of body language!

What's the number one quality in men that attracts women, guarantees success, and inspires your peers to follow you? Answer: confidence! Some guys have it but only in certain environments (i.e., the club, the gym, the office, etc.). But almost no one has the core confidence that you can carry into ANY environment, no matter how foreign it is to you.

Whether they want to admit it or not most women play mind games on men. Some do it ruthlessly and maliciously and others do it because they feel that this is a clever way and the only way sometimes to get men to do exactly what they want them to do in a relationship. These mind games that women play involve the highest form of manipulation. For example, a woman shedding crocodile tears with the sole purpose of getting a man to bend to her will.

A lot of times, when people think about success, they immediately start to think about their goals. They look at their life and start to measure their accomplishments. I then ask these people, of their goals, how many they would say they accomplish in a year or month. In most cases, they have set goals but they have no idea of the steps or work it takes to accomplish them. I tell you, although we set goals, the outcome we desire is a specific set of results. Let's look at the big picture.

From his perspective in Renaissance Italy, Machiavelli's aim in this classic work was to resolve conflict with the ruling prince, Lorenzo de Medici. Machiavelli based his insights on the way people really are rather than an ideal of how they should be. This is the world's most famous master plan for seizing and holding power. Astonishing in its candor The Prince even today remains a disturbingly realistic and prophetic work on what it takes to be a prince, a king, or a president.

Life is a Game, and Ken has the moves
Would you consider the audio edition of The Art of Human Chess to be better than the print version?
You get different info from reading and listening to books. The narrator was on point. The music set the tone while I listened in my car too.
What did you like best about this story?
I liked the personal stories and the way in witch they play out.
What about Mr. Gates’s performance did you like?
He was lively energetic and conveyed the points to Human Chess well.
What’s an idea from the book that you will remember?
Your either playing the game or getting played.
Any additional comments?
Great job, Applause for the author and the production team for uping the quality of audio books.

Okay im going to be honest this book can't offer you much. I'm being serious in saying I came into it with an open mind and this dude gives a lot of stories and little content. Most of it is bragging on himself or others. I would instead read the books he recommended. just save your money or credit and get the 48 laws of power.

meh. good for something super simple.
A little hard to listen to. author appears to think a lot of himself so it's a little distracting. starts strong and could use a strong finish.
The simplified version is good for what it is. it really wasn't my favourite, though.
listen to the first half and you'll be happy. but if you're inspired by examples of others then you may like it more than I did.
