Everything I know I owe to this man. What an asshole! (Gordon Gekko )
If I was alive today I'd definitely be following the rules of assholism. Buy this book! (Machiavelli )

Product Description
I was the nicest guy in the world. The kind of guy who gives up his seat for women who aren’t even pregnant. And all it had got me was a dead-end job, a crappy apartment and a dog that treated me as its bitch.
So one day I decided to become a totally different man. A rock-hard alpha male who fights to win, makes his own rules and doesn’t know the word sorry. An asshole.
The worst thing? It worked!
Here you’ll discover my revolutionary programme for assholism, including:
· Essential body language – don’t smile, unless others are in pain
· Workplace etiquette – taking credit for everything, except mistakes
· Diet and exercise – the power of red meat, energy drinks and hitting below the belt
· Relationships – how to avoid getting burned, even if your wife is a trained chef (like mine)
· Feelings – the only luxury you can’t afford
This is the story of my journey into jerkhood.
It is my story of glory.

If you like hurting people for fun, striking fear into their hearts and generally intimidating them off the planet, then this is a must read. It's so incredible that someone will have to make a film of this. Laugh out loud stuff, it certainly is and Martin Kihn's transformation is incredible, I can really see myself in his Mr. Nice guy persona. All I need to do now is to take a deep breath and put his teachings into practice. I really do love these books on how to succeed in life, especially with a humorous bent like this. A must for all of life's climbers and movers, highly recommended. Also check out Alan Bates' `The Post Box at the Crossroads', he's another hilarious nice guy trying to make good.

Martin's last book "House of Lies" provided me with a handy guide during my brief career with a wannabe major consultancy group, but perhaps you had to have been a consultant to really enjoy it. His latest book should have a much wider audience, appealing to anyone who suspects they might be just too "nice"
He tells me it sells very well in Germany - I suspect the Germans might not have realised it isn't meant as a serious self help guide.

It's a slender volume (242 pages of quite large print, which will take you maybe four hours to read), but it's jam-packed with belly laughs. Starting with the oldest story in the world - Marty is a "too nice" 40-year-old whose New York flat isn't really what he wants, and who has only a couple of people reporting to him. Somehow, he can't seem to get promotion. A ripped, deadpan, non-nonsense guy who looks and acts like an ex-Marine is eating his lunch (sometimes literally). Marty decides to take his fate in his own hands, and tackle this guy ("The Nemesis") head-on. His repeated attempts to become a genuine, hard-case a$$hole are unbelievably funny, and sometimes disturbingly touching. Essentially, he is trying to find the recipe for material success in modern-day New York, and it's harder than it looks. Eventually, having attained his first seemingly impossible goal, but with the rest of them further away than ever, he comes to realize that coming on like The Terminator is not a reasonable permanent lifestyle - but it is a handy addition to his repertoir.
