Enjoyed the principles and learning taught in the book, but I was amazed with how many spelling/grammatical errors there were for a book that’s been through several revisions/editions over the years.

5.0 out of 5 stars A Tour of the Business World (Screw-U)
Reviewed in the United States on May 10, 2015
Verified Purchase
The biggest takeaway for me was, It's not what you say or do, it's your posture (status) when doing it. That corresponds to the
axiom, Often it's not what you say but how you say it. This is the third time I've read it so nothing jumped off the page. It is a nuts
and bolts account of how the author became adept at asking for and receiving large commissions for putting real estate deals together.

I profited from his account of absolutely going all out to secure his commission when it was threatened. He makes an absolutely
logical case for acting in your best self-interest. Somewhere in the book it said the New York Times rated it as one of the 15
biggest selling self-help books of all time. You don't have to be a businessperson to profit from it.

The author thought a lot about how to be successful and throughout the book he mentions in passing things he found to be true,
such as the phenomenon of "The expert from afar." That is, someone from far away always seems to be more impressive than
someone in closer proximity. He concluded everyone was going after as much as they could -- the law of the jungle; Screw-U.
I recommend it.

5.0 out of 5 stars Robert Ringer, you are so freaking awesome !

I enjoyed this book so much. I read a lot of business books, and this one was so entertaining, suspenseful, deep, full of lessons - all in one. O, I forgot hilarious. I finished the book, and started reading it from page 1 again. I started checking out the author's other books. I'm currently reading Million Dollar Habits. His books do have a tendency to have misleading titles. Although I haven't finished reading Million Dollar Habits, they are really about an outlook of life that serves you well. Really enjoying that book too.

By that I mean the book, not Mr. Ringer.

I first read this when I came out years ago and I thought I was getting rusty at a lot of things I could use a little brush up, a little refresher course.

I think that given the fact that things have swung back to where big business is in control and we are facing people who would tend to intimidate us more and more this book is an excellent read.

Buy it read it thank me

If anybody criticizes you for reading this book, and they haven't read the book, then watch out for that person. They may be exactly the ones to watch out for with regards to intimidation. I read this book about a year ago, and I still remember the tongue in cheek 3 types of people:
1. People who want to screw you, and are open about it.
2. People who want to screw you, but who claim otherwise.
3. People who don't want to screw you, but end up doing so anyway.

5.0 out of 5 stars Don’t be misled by the title — this is one superb book
Reviewed in the United Kingdom on August 30, 2019
Verified Purchase
Mention the title and many people will shrink away. Well, don’t judge a book by the cover as they say! Did you really think anyone would write a book saying you should frighten people into giving you a job?? It wouldn’t sell very well, would it?

On the other hand, have you ever felt a bit ‘intimidated’ when you *applied* for a job? Maybe you have, maybe you haven’t. But if you aren’t in your ideal job, one that you know you could do, maybe you could find a whole new mindset to get there ...

That is what happened to this reviewer many, many years ago shortly after this book had been recommended to him by his teacher. Consequently it is firmly on a short list of ‘books that changed my life’.

Recently I bought this copy for a friend, an intelligent man who feels he’s been successful in life. Thing is, I know him, and am amazed he’s not in the sort of job that vastly exceeds what he himself believes he could do. This is what the book does.

I didn’t find much to get excited about in other books he’s written — a few cool ideas, but not the remarkable game changer that this, probably his first book, proved to be.

I’ve often bought the odd ‘self-help’ book to read on a plane. They’re entertaining and seem great until you put them down, get off the flight, and step back into the real world. Many don’t apply to everyone or else they’re written with lots of buzzword-filled pseudo-science, ‘inspirational quotes’ and dodgy logic. Ringer’s book on the other hand has big ideas condensed into a sentence that condenses into the action. Robert Ringer is someone whose hand I’d be proud to shake and thank him for writing his first book, “Winning Through Intimidation”.

Make it your ‘bible’ — you may never look back!
