The suggestions in this book simply work.

I use it whenever a problem arises in my life.

-One day I got three parking tickets.
-One day I couldn't find my car for 30 minutes in an airport parking lot.
-One day I was stressed waiting for my offer to get approved.
-One day I hurt my shoulder very badly and was worried it would never be the same.
-One day a close friend betrayed me.

We all know stressful situations can creep in, they affect our breathing, our mood, our appetite, and even our digestion.

The point is, in each of those cases the lessons in this book came to my mind and I was able to use the techniques taught to regain control of my emotions and tackle the problems with a clearer head.

This is the first book I have read that tackles mindset in a non hippie esoteric manner.

I recently went to a Gorilla Mindset Seminar to get to know Mike a bit better.

I wanted to check his demeanor, his friends, his wife, and decide if this man is congruent with the claims he makes online.

What I found was that he is even better in real life!

He is the real thing, and he's a really NICE GUY despite all the trolling online!!

He did not try to sell anything to us. Everyone there already had Gorilla Mindset.

He paid for the venue out of pocket and charged us nothing.

He spent the entire time going over the techniques in Gorilla Mindset and answering our questions.

Believe it or not Mike is actually trying to help people!

I highly suggest this book to anyone looking for concrete and practical steps to get better control of their emotions.

As a medium to long-term reader of "Danger and Play" (I've been following the blog for about a year and check it on and off), I had high hopes for "Gorilla Mindset" and expected a lot of original and thought provoking content, as this is what Mike is known for. This book failed to live up to expectations in 3 major ways:

1). Unoriginal: Very little of the advice in the book is that new or original, and a lot of it is extremely generic. For example, the chapter on money talks about investing in index funds, the chapter on weight loss talks about eating natural foods and minimizing starch and dairy, and the chapter on self-talk talks about being positive. This is all good advice, but as a compulsive reader, investor, and fitness fanatic, this is extremely basic (all of it is probably the advice you would get on page 1 if you picked up a book on any of those respective topics)

2). Lazy/Minimal Effort: Many of the recommendations in the book were copied almost word for word from "Danger and Play." I noticed this especially on the chapters about posture, but all chapters were guilty of this to some degree

3). Poor Attention to Detail/Idea Development: I like what Mike did with the structure of the book (touching on a number of disparate elements and connecting them to mindset), but the way he developed each idea was extremely poor. Most books I found groundbreaking would bring up some controversial ideas, develop each in a lot of detail, then connect this to a new idea in a series of logical steps ("So Good They Can't Ignore You" by Cal Newport is a great example), but this book gave a number of half baked ideas, provided minimal evidence, then jumped on to something new.

Short version: The best $10 you will spend all year, and possibly ever. This book will make you a better man.

Long version: three years ago I found myself divorced, overweight, and directionless. Mike Cernovich's blog, Danger and Play, was vital reading about topics like fitness, game for introverts, juicing, posture, money, and generally living your life to the fullest extent. His blog has had an incredibly positive impact on my life in terms of mental focus, fitness, freedom, and the understanding that you can live the life you've always dreamed, if you have the courage and skills to do it.

What makes Mike different? Cernovich is not a self proclaimed "alpha male" or anonymous blogger complaining about modern women. He is the man you look at and say "Wow, I want to be more like him." Mike is fit, well traveled, articulate, and never shy about speaking his mind, even if his opinion might hurt a feeling or two. He is one of the few people whose advice and input I actually value.

This morning I woke up and was excited to find Gorilla Mindset on my Kindle. I figured that I would read through a chapter or two and go on with my day. I ended up reading the entire book in one sitting from cover to cover. (let me be clear about something - reading this book cover to cover in one sitting will not maximize it's value. It's one you'll probably read several times, make notes on, and re-read again and again. Can't wait till it comes out in paperback. It's one that is going to be dogeared, written all over, and referred to quite a bit.)

Gorilla Mindset blew me away. Is is an excellent, practical instruction manual on how to get the most of out life. It's definitely not Danger & Play repackaged into a book. It's a book I will read several times.
