You have never seen a book like this before. No such book exists, and I felt, from my unique perspective with many colorful experiences, it was my duty to create it. I hope this book helps young men to make good choices and stay safe. The nightclub and house party scene is not only dangerous, but incredibly toxic. Many women are mentally unbalanced, some very much so. I have suffered many hard lessons over the years and experienced my fair share of trauma as a result. By sharing my stories, I'm hoping you may be able to avoid poor decisions I've made in the past.
