Good idea. Good book. I could help with the translation into Portuguese.

Ordered the colored/hardback version for my 12yo son. He is very ambitious. Thank you.

Does one of the 16 Cycles teach a young man what he needs to know about women, and dealing with the female psyche? I don’t see it mentioned in any of the reviews or descriptions of the Book. Seems like that information would be as important and valuable as all the other Cycles. I have a lot of friends whose lives have been de-railed by failed or strained relationships (both personal and professional) with females…

Nope. But, when young men have clear standards for themselves, they tend to avoid making these types of mistakes.

I bought a copy on Amazon. Arriving tomorrow! My son is under 2, so he has a ways to go before he can enjoy some of the adventures you wrote about. When he’s 18, the world is going to look different. Thanks for helping me dream and plan to help him navigate the world as it’s changing. Will let you know my thoughts on the book!

Was wondering if this book might help recent college graduates in the USA?

Seems it might be best suited for youngsters at the pre college age?

Trade school is good. I ll given you a path to a decent job. But, what squandered potential it'd be for a young man with some ambition.

Once you have a trade/skill you can follow any adventure you might choose.

Having fun when you’re young is fine, but raising a family requires an income.

I once met an underwater welder; she traveled the world over plying her trade, enjoyed many fascinating experiences, and made a ton of money. By the way, she was also a beautiful redhead 🧑‍🦰!

Agreed. And those who follow the program in the book will have many skills and abilities and they'll be inundated with income opportunities.

This book is written for young men considering college. I'm 50. Writing this book and witnessing my son's progress as he followed the program - drove me to step up my own game. At it's essence, the book guides men to realize their full potential. No fluff. Lots of action. And plenty of distilled actionable wisdom.

I have a son who left college for the trades, and one who just entered. I purchased this book to help them realize their potential - I'm not certain my son in college will finish there - I think this book might help him consider the possibilities - I have enjoyed watching Maxim through his experiences.
