Distilled from thousands of hours spent coaching forward-thinking-men all around the world, this audiobook will teach you how to galvanize your mindset and see opportunities instead of walls.

If you’re wary of bulls--t artists trying to sell you “happily ever after”...

If you want to make sure you don’t become another grumpy, soft guy who forgot how to have fun...

Then this audiobook will, indeed, make you dangerous.

A Different Kind Of "Self-Development" Book

I like non-fiction books and many of the audiobooks I listen to could be considered "self-development." Like a self-development book, This Book Will Make You Dangerous will a better person if you listen to it, but it's not like the "blow hot smoke" self-help rah-rah that you'll get at a personal development event – it's a guide that will show you a different way of looking at life and how to make your life better. If you like Tripp Lanier's podcast, The New Man, you will like this audiobook. It has the same wit and delivery as you get from his podcast. Like the title says, it's "irreverent," but that doesn't mean it's offensive or juvenile – it's simply not the typical "everything is great" and "you have greatness within you" self-help BS that you see 90% of the time. Every IS great, and that will be obvious when you listen to this audiobook, but Tripp isn't going to sugarcoat it just to play nice and be liked. If you like The New Man podcast, you know what I mean. I recommend this audiobook for people, especially men, who want to next level of personal development, but I also think women will get a lot out of it also, even if it's just to better understand the men in your life. If you're ready to move beyond the "you have greatness within you" gurus who make you feel good for an hour, but don't give you anything to hold on to that will really change your life for the better, you will like this audiobook. And you will definitely walk away with something to hold on to that will allow you to create a better life for yourself.

Good for reframing ideas

I don't feel like this should be anyone's first book on the topic. Others have gone into greater depth and provide more actionable material. However this book is extremely good at applying those ideas to some of our more private and (seemingly) negatively impacting thoughts.
