Neil Strauss is the author of the New York Times bestsellers The Game, Rules of the Game, Emergency, and Everyone Loves You When You're Dead. He is also the coauthor of four other bestsellers--Jenna Jameson's How to Make Love Like a Porn Star, Mötley Crüe's The Dirt, and Marilyn Manson's The Long Hard Road Out of Hell, and Dave Navarro's Don't Try This at Home. He can be found at www.neilstrauss.com.

His latest book, The Truth: An Uncomfortable Book About Relationships, was released on October 13. The review in Grantland described it as follows:

"I want you to read this book. I want your partners to read this book. I want your families, your friends, your coworkers, and your colleagues to read this book. I want women to read it, and men — especially men — to read it. But more than that, I want you to think critically about it, about what it says about you and the world around you and your romantic relationships. I want it to inspire you to dig deep inside yourself and figure out what’s stopping you from making yourself happy: I want it to inspire you to embrace and engage with love, in an honest and healthy way."

Entertaining

Reviewed in Canada 🇨🇦 on November 19, 2011

Verified Purchase

Definitely a very entertaining book! However, at times it can feel a bit like watching TV with someone who's channel surfing. Stumble upon something great and then in an instance its on to the next channel. I understand Strauss wrote this book in that manner, but some parts do leave you wanting more, while others you can't wait to get over.

I thought it might be more like his other books. I really enjoyed "The Game" and "Emergency" but this one wasn't like his other books that grabbed my attention so I couldn't put it down. I'm almost half way though and really struggling to pick it up. I've read many others in the meantime.

Got Style

Reviewed in Canada 🇨🇦 on March 15, 2011

It occurs to me while reading this book that Neil Strauss has met a lot of people. Over 3,000 close encounters of the celebrity kind. Andy Warhol said; "Everyone gets their 15 minutes of fame." Not everyone gets more than 15 minutes, but thankfully most of those that do get some inclusion here, the permanent wavers. Presented in the form of dialogue. A veritable who's who of our cultural icons.

And, if you're a writer for the Rolling Stone, that's a tremendous entree into the rarefied world we all know perhaps not intimately, and would like to enter. Imagine being able to meet your idol.

Even a short encounter encounter can turn into an adventure, if you're hanging out with Motley Crue, and two band members get marched away in handcuffs, or the wife of a bluesman who cannot distinguish between perception and reality makes a ridiculous accusation, and the police get called. Maybe Tom Cruise will take you under his wing and explain Scientology, or perhaps Courtney Love uses you as her personal pin cushion.

Beatling o'er the bass, a Starr drummer, those guys who gather no moss, Pinball Wizards, Crocodile Rockers, climbing Plant's Stairway. Ozzy to Orlando. Bloom's flowering self doubt. Cruise control or lack thereof. Life after Love, how Ali Khan fawns fan mania, and puts his fans in trance, how dangerous it can be to perform music in certain parts of the world. Cher and cockroaches. Eight years to make a famous song, and many songwriters to make it number one. Mindreading with Britney. Success, excess, demon wrestling. Checking outrageous facts. Cockblocking copy editors. Some still haven't found what they're looking for. Sometimes you just want a girl who will sit on a bottle. All of life is here. Even aliens. Don't ask. Not everyone successfully wrestles their demons.

The one thing that I felt lacking was the Index. I wanted to look up Ali Khan again, p331. Almost no one mentioned in the book is mentioned in the Index. I suggest you highlight or bookmark what you may wish to refer to again.

Sometime ago, I looked up the most sampled artists. Rick James was one of the top 3, along with Parliament eg.Mothership Connection, and was famously sampled by MC Hammer. I found the Rick James vignettes fascinating, how drugs influence every decision he makes,an excellent and somewhat poignant peek into the murky mind of an addict.

This would make a great coffee table book. I read the epilogue several times. Derive your self esteem from within not from other people's opinions. If you are like me you may have some attention deficient friends, and this book with its short vignettes provides great talking points. You may also find yourself googling some of the more memorable yet less familiar names. As far as other Strauss books go, certainly get The The Game: Penetrating the Secret Society of Pickup Artists, if you don't already have it, with its faux black leather binding, and a red string bookmark, it's the bible of seduction. The closer you look the more you can see its principles at work here.

Everybody Loves You When You're Neil Strauss :)

Reviewed in the United Kingdom 🇬🇧 on March 20, 2013

Verified Purchase

This is a great book to dip into and out of, as well as being beautifully structured so readable in a short space of time. There will be interviews with people you've already heard of and are a fan of, interviews with people you don't like, and interviews with people you were previously unaware of. All of these interviews are woven together wonderfully. Neil's ability as an interviewer means he gets great stories and he talks to people who are obscure or usually reluctant to do interviews. If I wasn't busy already I'd like to be Neil Strauss, it sounds like he had fun talking to some of these people. I especially loved the epilogue, where Neil puts together a list of instructions for living, based on other people's commonly made mistakes.

I haven't read the book yet it it was delivered within the specified time and was well packaged. The transaction was painless from the moment I clicked checkout so I'm grateful and I'm sure as it's Neil Strauss I'll have a good read when I get around to it. Many thanks.

Snippets and insights from many interviews - entertaining, good for dipping in to. There is some lack of coherence - but when there are so many interviewees, that is not a surprise.

A good read

hätte nie gedacht das ich mir mal ein buch nur auf die empfehlung von Mr. Leto kaufen würde, aber bei diesem werk habe ich mir gedacht warum eigentlich nicht das klingt ganz interessant, und das ist es auch. man schnuppert hier mal ein bisschen in die denkweisen und "psychen" der sogenannten promis rein. ist auch einfach geschrieben, man versteht eigentlich alles wenn man ein bisschen englisch kann.
