Publisher's summary

The much-anticipated memoir of Dan Bilzerian is almost here! Dan takes listeners on a wild ride, from his anything-but-normal childhood, to the insanity that has followed him on his journey to becoming one of the most famous people in the world. Hear about his upbringing, military service, gambling, guns and other toys, and about girls. Lots of girls. And for the first time, Dan talks openly about how he was able to live unapologetically live his dreams using a simple method that he calls "The Setup".

The Setup is jam-packed with crazy stories and incredible adventures that bring listeners into the world of Dan Bilzerian.

Honest, entertaining, and inspiring

Anytime somebody hits fame the rumors that exist are outrageous, mostly by jealous people seeing something that they can’t get. It’s really great to hear Dan’s story, and I interpret it as honest. It’s also one hell of an entertaining read !

This book’s legit if you’re not a hater or loser

I read this book earlier this month and now I make $25k usd per week. Earlier this week I picked up a girl from a hot spring in Thailand and fingered her with my left hand while driving a motorcycle with my right hand and getting an over the pants HJ while on the way back to my place. When she got off the motorcycle there was a puddle of wetness on the seat cause she was just wearing a dress and a bikini bottom. Dan’s stories are incredible and his advice is legit. Ignore the haters and losers.

Absolute Banger

My only complaint is that Dan has yet to make a movie about his lifestyle yet. I believe the majority of young men secretly aspire to live their life’s the way Dan does.
