The Game rivela l’alfabeto della seduzione maschile, nero su bianco. —The Observer Esiste una comunità segreta di uomini che hanno sviluppato tecniche letteralmente infallibili per affascinare e sedurre le donne più belle e sexy, quelle che sembrano inavvicinabili per i comuni mortali. E Neil Strauss, detto Style, il suo alter ego da playboy, è uno di questi uomini. In The Game racconta la sua storia, dall’incontro folgorante con Mystery, “l’artista del rimorchio” numero uno al mondo e suo mentore, ai due anni trascorsi nei locali notturni di New York, Montréal, Londra, Belgrado, Melbourne, ad agganciare — con successo — modelle e star mozzafiato. Una storia vera ma incredibile, un romanzo sulle bizzarrie dell’amore, un manuale della conquista sul campo: gli uomini negheranno che “il gioco” funzioni, le donne non potranno crederci.
"Kevin Hart was born an accident, unwanted by his parents. His father was a drug addict who was in and out of jail. His brother was a crack dealer and petty thief. And his mother was overwhelmingly strict, beating him with belts, frying pans, and his own toys. The odds, in short, were stacked against our young hero. But Kevin Hart, like Ernest Hemingway, JK Rowling, and Chocolate Droppa before him, was able to defy the odds. In his literary debut, he takes the reader on a journey through what his life was, what it is now, and how he's overcome each challenge to become the man he is today. And that man happens to be the biggest comedian in the world, with tours that sell out football stadiums and films that have collectively grossed over $3.5 billion. He achieved this not just through hard work, determination, and talent, but through his unique way of looking at the world. Because just like a book has chapters, Hart sees life as a collection of chapters that each person gets to write for himself or herself."--Back cover
This account is not a journalistic endeavor but a brutally honest reflection on a personal crisis stemming from my own actions. It involves sharing aspects I'm not proud of and some I feel I should regret more than I do. Unfortunately, I am not the hero but the villain in this story. This narrative is a long-awaited follow-up to a previous work that ignited the "seduction community," making me a household name among singles. Here, I confront my greatest challenge: relationships. This wild and entertaining exploration addresses pressing questions: Is lifelong fidelity natural? Do alternatives to monogamy enhance relationships and happiness? What attracts us to our partners? Can we maintain passion over time? My quest for answers leads me through Viagra-fueled orgies, sex addiction clinics, cutting-edge science labs, modern harems, and even to my mother. The revelations I encountered transformed my understanding of love, sex, and relationships, as well as my own identity. This searingly honest narrative is compelling and may alter your perspective on these themes. If the previous work taught you how to meet potential partners, this one will guide you on how to maintain those connections.

Whiskey and porn stars, hot rods and car crashes, black leather and high heels, overdoses and death. This is the life of Mötley Crüe, the heaviest drinking, hardest fighting, most oversexed and arrogant band in the world. Their unbelievable exploits are the stuff of rock 'n' roll legend. They nailed the hottest chicks, started the bloodiest fights, partied with the biggest drug dealers, and got to know the inside of every jail cell from California to Japan. They have dedicated an entire career to living life to its extreme, from the greatest fantasies to the darkest tragedies. Tommy married two international sex symbols; Vince killed a man and lost a daughter to cancer;Nikki overdosed, rose from the dead, and then OD'd again the next day; and Wick shot a woman and tried to hang his own brother. But that's just the beginning. Fueled by every drug they could get their hands on and obscene amounts of alcohol, driven by fury and headed straight for hell, Mötley Crüe raged through two decades, leaving behind a trail of debauched women, trashed hotel rooms, crashed cars, psychotic managers, and broken bones that has left the music industry cringing to this day. All these unspeakable acts, not to mention their dire consequences, are laid bare in The Dirt. Here -- directly from Nikki, Vince, Tommy, and Mick -- is the unexpurgated version of the whole glorious, gut-wrenching story. In these pages, published for the first time anywhere, are Tommy Lee's letters to Pamela Anderson from prison: Mick's confession to having an incurable disease that is slowly killing him; Vince's experience burying his own daughter -- and the train wreck that his life became afterward; and Nikki's anguished struggle to deal with an entire life fueled by anger over his childhood abandonment, his discovery of the family he never knew he had -- and his subsequent loss of them. And all of it accompanied by scores of rare, never-before-published photographs, mug shots, and handwritten lyrics. No one is spared. Not David Lee Roth, Ozzy Osbourne, Vanity, Aerosmith, Heather Locklear, AC/DC, Lita Ford, Iron Maiden, Pamela Anderson, Guns N' Roses, Donna D'Errico, RATT, or those two girls from Dallas, Texas. Make no mistake about it: these guys are geniuses. They invented glam metal and then left it in the dust; sold more than forty million albums from Shout at the Devil to Dr. Feelgood; toured the world dozen times and have the scars to prove it it; and maintained a rabid following in an era of throwaway pop stars. Mötley Crüe has done nothing less than tattoo the psyche of the entire MTV generation. They are the ultimate rock 'n' roll band. And if you don't believe it, read The Dirt. You don't know what decadence is...
„Kdo chce hýbat světem, musí nejdřív pohnout sám sebou.“ (Sokrates) Kevin Hart se narodil jako nehoda, jehož otec byl drogově závislý a matka přísná. Jeho bratr se potýkal s kriminální činností. Přestože měl Hart v dětství mnoho překážek, dokázal překonat těžké časy a stát se jedním z nejznámějších komiků na světě. Ve své knižní prvotině sdílí svůj životní příběh od dětství až po současnost, ukazuje, jak se vyrovnal s výzvami, které mu osud postavil do cesty. Díky tvrdé práci, talentu a jedinečnému pohledu na svět se mu podařilo vyprodávat fotbalové stadiony a jeho filmy vynesly přes 3,5 miliardy dolarů. Hart vnímá život jako sérii kapitol, které píší on a lidé kolem něj. „Život je příběh, sled kapitol. Je na vás, jak interpretujete jednotlivé kapitoly, a vaše interpretace určuje další kapitolu. Můžete si vybrat, zda to bude komedie nebo tragédie, příběh o vzestupu nebo pádu. I když nemůžete ovlivnit, co se vám stane, můžete rozhodnout, jak to budete vidět. Proč si tedy nevybrat ten nejlepší příběh pro svůj život?“

Mötley Crüe -yhtyeen jäsenet kertovat rohkeasti omista tarinoistaan, luoden värikkään ja häikäisevän kuvan rock’n’rollin maailmasta.

Kirjassa esiintyy myös tunnettuja henkilöitä, kuten Heather Locklear ja Pamela Anderson, ja yhtyeen jäsenet pohtivat heavymetal-filosofiaa, konsertteihin liittyviä tappeluja sekä sitä, miten käsitellä faneja, jotka pyrkivät taiteilijoiden pukuhuoneisiin. Tämä on elävä painajainen kaikille vanhemmille.
