We've been talking about it for ages and the day has finally arrived. The book that Doug Casey, my son Maxim, and I wrote is finally published and ready for release.

We recognize that most of our readers are not college age. However, many of you have children or grandchildren or nephews or other young men in your life who need a path to success in this incredibly uncertain future. We hope that you'll share it with them.

This isn't a cheap book. The hardcover version is in full color and costs $99.99. As best as I could, I wanted to make it beautiful. I wanted to make it so that when one held it, they knew that this book was unlike any other book they'd held before. Because it is.

There are cheaper versions. There's a paperback version in black and white for $29.99. And there's an ebook version as well - that's even cheaper. And I expect an audio will follow.

Why We Wrote This Book

Doug Casey had been asking me to write a book about becoming a renaissance man, for more than a decade. I had no interest, frankly, in writing a book of any kind for any reason. But Doug wouldn't let it go. Every year or two, Doug would bring it up again and say, "Yeah, it really should be done. We really need to do this." I still wasn't interested.

That changed in 2023 when I realized my son had a problem. He was about to turn 18, and the truth is, he had no idea what he wanted to do with his life. Just like me, and most young men at that age.

Now, this was the COVID era. You have to remember, the world was completely turned upside down, and young men and women were caught in the crossfire—all of which made the situation more uncertain from Maxim's perspective.

So here Maxim was, nearly 18 years old, facing down the future—a deeply uncertain future. I could see it in his eyes. I could feel it in his body. I knew he felt lost, and I thought of Doug's book. Maybe we can figure it out? Maybe we can come up with a plan? A plan that would solve Maxim's problem.

At that stage, Maxim really hadn't done much. He was an 18-year-old kid, homeschooled in the last several years. But the truth is he had no accomplishments to speak of—not in sports or work or hobbies or anything. What Maxim did have is he was a good kid, and he was extraordinarily coachable.
