A$$hole - How I Got Rich and Happy by Not Giving a S∗∗∗ About You! Martin Kihn
Martin Kihn was the nicest guy in the world – and it was killing him.
But on the day he turned forty, Marty decided to change his life – for
the meaner. Tired of being passed over for promotions at work, Marty set
out on a journey to transform himself from Mr. Nice Guy into a
rule-breaking, order-giving D***H*** like the “Marty Kaan” character
played by Don Cheadle in the Showtime series House of Lies, based on
Kihn’s book of the same name.
A$$hole is the story of Kihn’s ascent from Beta Male to Alpha Male to
A$$hole. He shares the techniques that helped him hone his image as a
jerk, including the essential body language (don’t smile, unless others
are in pain); covers typical activities (credit stealing, getting even);
and delineates classic behavior patterns, including speaking loudly and
interrupting often, and insisting you’ve never, ever made a mistake.
From acting lessons to boxing lessons, from hiring a life coach to covertly
observing his nemesis at work, Marty develops the Seven Principles of
A$$holism. But will it be enough to earn him a promotion? Or will he
alienate others to the point where his own wife won’t be able to stand
him?
“Kihn’s got a great ear for dialogue – and a comedic sense worthy of Second City.” — Booklist
“One of the funniest books I’ve ever read, with Kihn starring as the world’s
most lovable A$$hole. It is also remarkably useful in a sick sort of
way.” — Robert Sutton, author of New York Times bestseller The No
A$$hole Rule
“A$$hole is remarkably profane, laugh-out-loud funny, and surprisingly sentimental. Marty Kihn
is one Grade A A$$hole.” — Rory Freedman, coauthor of Skinny Bitch
Reviews
Praise for A$$hole:
“A$$hole is remarkably profane, laugh-out-loud funny, and surprisingly sentimental. Marty Kihn
is one Grade A A$$hole.” —Rory Freedman, coauthor Skinny Bitch
“Prepare to be riveted and to laugh out loud. What’s it like when the nice guy
finally decides to take the bull by the horns to become like those
complete jerks who seem to get all the girls, all the cash, and all the
glory? Through humor and vivid storytelling, Martin Kihn takes you
through that journey until he discovers an astonishing lesson.” —John
Alexander, author of How to Become an Alpha Male
“A$$hole is the funniest business book I’ve ever read, with Kihn starring as the
world’s most loveable *****. It is also remarkably useful in a sick
sort of way. If you want to get rich through fear and intimidation, and
don’t mind hurting people along the way, this is the book for you.”
—Robert Sutton, author of New York Times bestseller The No ***** Rule
