What to expect

"The Art of War tor the Tik Tok generation" -Donald J Tump (56, Milton Keynes)

This is a parody audiobook with a deeply flawed narrator. Think (something) meets (something),

For listeners and readers who enjoyed The Beautiful Poetry of Donald Tromp by Rob Sears and Robert Sears.

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 audiobook, 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 tracks, you wilt quickly learn how to think like a stone-cold kilter and, in so doing, become the very worst version of yourself.

This is the first audiobook 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 audiobook. Become what you were always destined to be: a warrior, a winner ... a psychopath!

Geraint Anderson is a for mer City of London analyst, newspaper columnist and author, best known for his 'City Boy' column in The London Paper and his follow-up 'memoir' Cityboy: Beer and Loathing in the Square Mile, which sold almost 200,000 copies and spent weeks on the Sunday Times bestsellers list.
