New World Ronin: Strategies for Artists, Entrepreneurs, Rebels, Warriors and Outcasts
Stop living like an invisible ghost and start living like a master of Destiny. In the old world, a ronin was a wandering samurai, a disgraced slave without a master. Whatever a samurai did or didn’t do in the past is irrelevant to the New World Ronin. We live right here and right now, and right now this world allows anyone to be a tidal wave or a tear-drop.

It's very well written. There are indeed strategies which we may follow in business and in life. The choice of ronin legend as a vehicle works well enough.
I just couldn't get past the "bro" stuff. It reads like an overly-muscled personal trainer shouting missives at you while you're at the gym, only pausing to flex.

Interesting book with a few neat concepts that are worth thinking about. His piece on the importance of breathing properly made me stop and think about the impact of breathing and how not breathing properly impacts the body. I also found the concepts of Black & White work versus Full Colour work interesting.
Victor is a good motivator but the concepts are really kinda lame at points. The whole "Sho'Gunna" part is some cringe word play on 'You're gunna' and Shogun, which made me feel this book is aimed at 15 year old boys who grew up without a father and are a bit directionless in life. To add to this, a lot of the concepts are a straight rip of Zen Buddhism, but made more accessible for the masses. I imagine his whole part on breathing is also taken from Zen Buddhism.
Clearly I am the wrong target audience and that's probably a large reason why I can't enjoy this book that much. Still, I would recommend it to teenage guys or guys who need some structure and motivation to what they're doing.

Pride will always be my favorite blogger and his latest book is kind of a culmination of his entire philosophy.
The way to succeed is to take matters into your own hands. Start a business and commit to it with a force that cannot be stopped.
"To achieve ultimate focus, the state of being "in the zone" or "flow," you follow the way of always moving forward. The one true way to greatness."
Pride is a strong believer in action and only through action will one ever become self-made and self-paid. The ability to always move forward is inherent to all of us. Anyone can conquer themselves if they choose pain over comfort.
The books overarching theme is to Always Move Forward. NWR is a catalyst behind that idea.
If they are willing choose the pain of discipline over the pain of regret.

A sometimes comical, yet enjoyable read. Much of the book is Victor going on about how great he is and repeating 80s go-getter mantras ad nauseum. He reminds me of 80s Guy from the Futurama episode Future Stock. About 10% of the book is useful information, and even with all the filler did manage to inspire me a bit to make some changes, so perhaps time well spent.

This book really resonated with me about how I left my corporate job and moved someone else and started my business. None of my friends really understood it but this book articulated clearly. It gave me inspiration to be "unbreakable" and gave me a new mindset to take on life.
