Synopsis

“The Art of War for the Tik Tok generation” – Donald J Tump (56, Milton Keynes)

Geraint Anderson is a genuine phenomenon.

Ever since he wrote his bestselling memoir Cityboy, which followed Geraint as he embarked upon a wildly successful (and not at all fraudulent) investment banking career, publishers have been begging him to reveal how he climbed the corporate ladder with such ease. Did he achieve his remarkable brilliance through diligence and hard work?

No, he did so because he is a psychopath.

In this remarkable book, Geraint explains that the world is rapidly becoming such a brutal place that soon it will only be psychopaths who succeed - whether the aim is to become top dog in business, politics or, indeed, the clergy. Within these pages, you will quickly learn how to think like a stone-cold killer and, in so doing, become the very worst version of yourself.

This is the first book of its kind – a realistic manual that explains exactly how to be a winner in today’s dog-eat-dog capitalist world. You may not like a lot of what Geraint has to say, but that’s only because it’s radical, disturbingly honest and usually involves a surgical scalpel.

So, stop behaving like a limp-wristed fruit picker and, instead, buy this book. Become what you were always destined to be: a warrior, a winner… a psychopath!
