On Power

My Journey Through the Corridors of Power and How You Can Get More Power

De: Gene Simmons

Narrado por: Alan Sklar

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.

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.

Love Gene's Books!

Once again he interweaves his life story into a true fairytale ....meager beginnings to wonderful endings!!

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!

A book every business owner should own !

Gene Simmons should be my company's CEO! Stay in power to help others less powerful!

In the real world

Love the tough love & advice that is given in this book. I really has me fired up.

motivation to the highest

This is another great book by Gene Simmons. And Kiss is one of my all-time favorite rock and roll bands. he lays it all out there for everybody with blunt honesty and sincerity and he doesn't sugarcoat anything. he tells it like it is. this is a highly motivational book I love it and if you're motivated to win to become successful you will like it too. Happy reading and learn something

Passing this to my daughters

Gene,
I hope you read these reviews. I purchased this audio book after seeing you on Fox News and glad I did. Most of what you said reinforced my way of thinking but elevated those thoughts much higher. I feel more confident about taking risks I have been wanting to take and will.

I have two daughters who will listen to the book, both who are exceptionally hard working but allow things to get in the way of realizing their true potential. Some may say that I shouldn’t let them hear it because there are many parts that are too “harsh” but I say they deserved read it because it is too true.

Great book. Keep writing. Thank you!

Very informative and inspirational.

I highly recommend this audio book. I listened to it over and over because it is very informative if you listen to the message.

Wildly fascinating and informative

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.

Inspirational

Loved this! Very Insightful and Inspirational. Get off your ass and do it! Gene words are very much needed.
