Wisdom and Vin-isms: Slams, Laughs, and Lessons Learned

About the Book

When would you ever bet a “punch in the face?” Why is it necessary to park so you can pull forward? How do you get in World War Z shape? What does my Mom know about making friends? During a verbal slam session, when is it ever okay to go tactical nuke when a proportional response would be a bow and arrow? What is the Rule of 72? What does “give him the heater” mean in your world? What can only 5% of American men and 1% of women do? How can you determine if a dude is wearing a quality suit? Shouldn’t some leaders talk more directly than they do? How do you know what to order at McDonald’s? What are “Chiefl y Things?” How does action breed more clarity than thought? These and many more are the questions answered or lessons highlighted in this book. Wisdom and Vin-isms is a companion to The Red Pill on Wisdom and an homage to Heartbreak Ridge. Just because it’s not deep, or rooted in classical philosophy, or perfectly coiff ed by a titan of industry, doesn’t mean it’s not wisdom. It defi nitely is a Vin-ism and should be embraced.
