ON POWER: MY JOURNEY THROUGH THE CORRIDORS OF POWER AND HOW YOU CAN GET MORE POWER GENE SIMMONS *On Sale: November 14, 2017*
You can have power. You deserve to have power. Gene Simmons is here to unlock the doors to the temple.
Dey Street Books is excited to announce the publication of ON POWER: My Journey Through the Corridors of Power and How You Can Get More Power (Hardcover; On-Sale: November 14, 2017; $15.99; ISBN: 9780062694706, E-Book ISBN: 9780062694713) by cofounder of KISS, multi- hyphenate entrepreneur, master of self-invention, and New York Times bestselling author, Gene Simmons.
An immigrant from Israel born into humble beginnings, Simmons decided at a young age that his circumstances did not have to dictate his failures or successes. This drive to create a greater destiny for himself ultimately led Simmons to become one of the most successful and recognizable personalities in the world. Drawing on his own experiences and on the experiences of historical and contemporary figures he admires, Simmons shares his philosophy on power in his upcoming book— how to attain it, how to keep it, and how to harness it as a driving force in business and in life.
Simmons is familiar with the thrill and seduction of power in a way that only mega bestselling rock stars can be. But Simmons says that gold records and screaming fans alone don’t equal power. The decisions you make once you attain a certain level of success are what separate the pretenders from the pantheon of the truly strong. ON POWER aims to drive a simple—but powerful—message home: you are the architect of your success.
Inspired by Niccolo Machiavelli’s The Prince, Simmons offers his unique take on the dynamics of power in every realm of life—from the bedroom to the boardroom, to the world of rock, celebrity, social media, and even to politics. Simmons advises that power is a living, breathing thing—something that can be attained, used, abused, and lost. And the rules of power are ever changing in today’s fast-paced, hyper-connected world in a way that Machiavelli could have never imagined.
In ON POWER, Simmons provides the tools and knowledge necessary to adapt to these changes. With one-of-a-kind stories from his life and career, as well stories from masters of power past and present—including Cleopatra, Napoleon Bonaparte, Oprah Winfrey, Michael Jorden, Warren Buffett, and Elon Musk—Simmons crafts a persuasive and provocative argument about how power is used to drive civilization and inspires readers to rise above the rest.
