"Even though there are genuinely major problems in our modern world, most of us are living with a level of comfort, safety, and self-importance that was unimaginable just a few decades ago. We’ve quickly adapted to these advantages, and many of us have gotten softer, more isolated, and more self-absorbed as a result. Which, as we’ll explore later on, wouldn’t be that big of a deal if it wasn’t killing our ability to enjoy the good fortune and opportunities we already have..."
This Book Will Make You Dangerous was a great short read. The author drops the quote above in the book's preface.
As intimated by the book's subtitle; it is aimed at an audience of (mostly) men interested in self-betterment and/or mastery. So, if that's not your cup of tea, then a lot of the writing here will likely fall flat with you...
Author Tripp Lanier is a professional coach and host of The New Man Podcast which — for over a decade — has been downloaded millions of times.
Tripp Lanier :
Lanier hits the ground running here, with a great high-energy intro. He writes with an easy, natural, down-to-earth style; peppered with many humorous tongue-in-cheek tidbits thrown in along the way. A difficult task for many writers to pull off effectively, I think that this style worked for Lanier here (thankfully).
The audiobook version I have was also read by the author; which is a nice touch I always appreciate.
Despite the book's short length, it covers a wide swath of territory. Lanier talks about psychology, mindset, meditation, motivation, fear, greed, envy, and many other performance-related topics here.
He does this well, and I found the book to have both great formatting, as well as a nice flow. Points again to the author, as this can be fairly hit-or-miss, in my experience with these kinds of books.
The book contains many excellent quotables, including this one:
And this one, which he drops in the conclusion:
**************************
As mentioned at the start of this review, I really enjoyed the book. I wasn't sure what to expect from this one, given its mildly campy title...
However, the author did a great job putting this short work together.
I would definitely recommend it to anyone interested.
5 stars.

The book contains many excellent quotables, including this one:
"The more we care about something — our money, our careers, our relationships, our self-image — the more serious we tend to become. We strive for more certainty, structure, direction, and order so that we’ll feel safe and have a “competitive advantage” in the world. But here’s the cruel paradox: the more we tend to care about something, the more we tend to become fixed and rigid. And the more rigid we get, the more vulnerable we become. Our efforts to protect — when out of balance — often make us a liability to ourselves. When we’re constantly playing defense, we stop enjoying our lives, and we end up being one of those old farts who have a stick up their caboose about everything..."
And this one, which he drops in the conclusion:
"Because we will always normalize and adapt to whatever level of comfort and safety and status we have, our brains will always find new threats. This perpetual escape, this pursuit of some magical finish line, is what puts us on the hamster wheel. It keeps us in a prey mentality, and we forget that we’re actually hunters.
We learned that, beyond just feeling comfortable and safe and important, we want something more substantial for our lives. When we fantasize about objective achievements and outcomes and mountain summits and finish lines, we’re really fantasizing about the subjective experience we hope they’ll allow us to enjoy. And we know this because if we accomplished all of that stuff on our vision board and still felt trapped or drained or isolated or bored or stressed, then it would be a huge disappointment..."

The ideas and proposed practices found within this book proved to be succinct, fluid, and impactful.
Tripp is a life coach who works with Navy Seals and industry leaders to transform their quality of life. While I'm not really big on the "productivity focused" Self Help movement, I thought that Tripp kept his thoughts well organized and kept me entertained by some great witty jokes.
Some of the key takeaways from this book are as followed.
Tripp describes being dangerous as purposefully cultivating self-awareness, leadership, and the guts to steer directly into situations that most people are trying hard to avoid. It’s a willingness to occasionally rock the boat in order to live fully. Doing things that make you feel "like you're going to die" (not literally) are the types of activities that make you feel the most exhilarated and alive. True freedom is finding confidence within those moments and mastering your emotions and "fight of flight" response when you are in those situations. Freedom is a state of mind, it is separate from circumstances.
Lanier explains that we should think of money we earn in terms of what value it can bring to your life. How can you create the most enjoyment out of life with the money you have? And don't let small trife get in the way of your peace of mind and happy memories.
And finally - Follow the fun. When you feel friction in any situation or circumstance in your life, whether it be within habits, relationships, your job, your excersize routine - ask yourself how you can make that specific thing more fun. Be playful with everything you do. Look for ways you can incorporate new ways of doing things that excite you and make you have a renewed perspective on the things that you don't necessarily want to do. There are usually more than one way to complete any given task or commitment.

Main takeaways:
- Many supposedly successful people are settling for a life that looks great from the outside but feels empty on the inside
- Even though we've evolved technologically, our primitive brains are still relatively unchanged. Our survival-focused noggins have simply adapted to our new reality and identified new dangers. What constitutes danger in today's world? Anything that is uncomfortable, uncertain, or could make us look like a fool. The result is that most of us meander through life in 'survival mode' asking three simple questions: What do I do so I'm not uncomfortable? What do I do so I don't put my money/time/energy at risk? What do I do so I don't look bad?
- Comfort, safety, and acceptance are necessary, but pursuing more than we need makes us weak. Being stuck in 'survival mode' keeps us fixated on what's scary or missing. Getting good at getting by doesn't allow us to experience what's truly satisfying
- Beyond the money, accomplishments, and status, there's a deeper hope that we'll escape discomfort, uncertainty, and self-doubt 'once and for all'. When we accomplish our goals, and we still encounter discomfort, uncertainty, and self-doubt, we come to the conclusion that we need more. Striving to be finally 'set for life' keeps us from living the life we're waiting to live
Actionable advice:
1) Look at your daily choices and the specific ways you avoid discomfort, uncertainty, and the possibility of looking bad. Consider each choice as a doorway to life beyond fear
2) Identify the myths you believe and look behind your fantasies to reveal what you truly want in life. Ask yourself: "once I have X, then I can finally do Y with my life". Is that really true? Practice challenging these assumptions, as they're often rooted in fantasy
3) Journal about your goals. Write down your desired outcomes, and then describe how you hope you'll feel as a result. Consider that these experiences are the true intention of your goals. Instead of waiting, how could you allow more of these experiences into your life today?

I have read this book and also got the audiobook, which is what I'm going to review here. If you like The New Man Podcast, get the audiobook version too.
I like non-fiction books and many of the audiobooks I listen to could be considered "self-development." Like a self-development book, This Book Will Make You Dangerous will a better person if you listen to it, but it's not like the "blow hot smoke" self-help rah-rah that you'll get at a personal development event – it's a guide that will show you a different way of looking at life and how to make your life better. I think of it as something very similar to Steven Pressfield's books like War Or Art or Turning Pro and it would be a good addition to your library if you also like these books.
As mentioned above, if you like Tripp Lanier's podcast, The New Man, you will like this audiobook. It has the same wit and delivery as you get from his podcast. Like the title says, it's "irreverent," but that doesn't mean it's offensive or juvenile – it's simply not the typical "everything is great" and "you have greatness within you" self-help BS that you see 90% of the time. Everything IS great, and that will be obvious when you listen to this audiobook, but Tripp isn't going to sugarcoat it just to play nice and be liked. If you like The New Man podcast, you know what I mean.
I recommend this book and audiobook for people, especially men, who want to next level of personal development, but I also think women will get a lot out of it also, even if it's just to better understand the men in your life. If you're ready to move beyond the "you have greatness within you" gurus who make you feel good for an hour, but don't give you anything to hold on to that will really change your life for the better, you will like this audiobook. And you will definitely walk away with something to hold on to that will allow you to create a better life for yourself.

I have been a fan of The New Man podcast for years and obviously bought the book the same moment I heard about it. It captures not just Tripps greatest ideas and insights around coaching but also his fun personality and attitude towards life. I highlighted an almost embarrassing amount of paragraphs in the book. Highly recommended for anyone that feels a bit lost around purpose or meaning in life.

Freedom. Peace. Love. Aliveness. The 4 things that drives us and our fears. Snarky and funny at times Tripp does a nice job firing you up to go out and live your best life. Quick read. For men mostly, but women will get a look into what makes us tick. Be warned, sometimes it isn't pretty. I enjoyed it....

The PERFECT book for the kind of guy who doesn’t usually like “self-help.”
“For the purposes of this book, being dangerous is about cultivating self-awareness, leadership, and the guts to steer directly into the situations that most are trying so hard to avoid. It’s a willingness to occasionally rock the boat in order to live fully during our short time on this planet.
And to those that are committed to the illusion of everlasting comfort, safety, and measuring up, this way of living will seem downright dangerous.
Is This Book Only For Men?
Yeah. Is this book only for men?
The short answer is: it’s not.
The longer answer is: I’ve primarily taught and coached and facilitated groups of men for well over 15 years. Working with certain types of men is what I know best. That said, the ideas and concepts and practices in this book are available to anyone and everyone who wants to take them for a test drive.
Everyone’s welcome to the party, but keep in mind that the language and tone are geared towards helping the types of men I know best.”
~ Tripp Lanier from This Book Will Make You Dangerous
My friend Tripp Lanier has been coaching guys for the last 15+ years. He’s the host of The New Man podcast and has interviewed a ton of people we talk about all the time—from Phil Stutz and Barry Michels to Steven Kotler and David Emerald.
He is a very funny guy. He’s also a very wise guy.
If you (or the man in your life) like to laugh deeply while joyfully getting your Optimizing on, I think you’ll enjoy his “Irreverent Guide for Men Who Refuse to Settle.” (Get the book here.)
Note: This book is not for those who don’t enjoy some colorful language. And… It very much IS for those guys who DO. In fact, although I think anyone not easily offended will enjoy the book, I think this is the PERFECT book for the kind of guy who doesn’t usually like “self-help.” Tripp is such a funny, self-deprecating (yet wise!) guy that “normal” guys love.
As Phil Stutz (who has coached both of us) says: “You become dangerous, not when you’re a threat to others, but when you become a threat to the excuses and bad habits that have held you back in life. Tripp’s book lives up to its title; it’s a practical guide to a victory over yourself. Only then are you truly dangerous.“
I especially loved the book because Tripp does such a GREAT job at making this whole Optimizing game FUN. He calls us on our nonsense AND makes it all a big game—encouraging us to PLAY more as he gives us the practical tools to experience the freedom, aliveness, love and peace we’re all looking for. Not in some abstract future fantasy world. TODAY.
Some of my favorite big ideas from this book include:
1. The Experience of... - Freedom. Aliveness. Love. Peace.
2. Gratitude - The #1 practice.
3. You’re NOT a Big Deal - And that’s a VERY big deal.
4. Find the Fun - PLAY!
5. The Ultimate Game - Is spelled: L.O.V.E.
I’ve added This Book Will Make You Dangerous by Tripp Lanier to my collection of Philosopher’s Notes--distilling the Big Ideas into 6-page PDF and 20-minute MP3s on 600+ of the BEST self-development books ever. You can get access to all of those plus a TON more over at https://heroic.us.

Pretty much your garden variety self-help book that is chock full of bromides, albeit with a few good words of advices (e.g., Lousy habits produce lousy choices which perpetuate a lousy life). According to author / podcaster Tripp Lanier, modern society has resulted in a highly sheltered existence, and most of us rationalize our mediocre lives out of three fears: fear of being uncomfortable; fear of putting ourselves at risk (whether physically, financially, romantically, or otherwise emotionally); and fear of looking like a loser. What we have to do is escape our comfort zone and pursue lofty goals that we at one time thought were conquerable. Have brains, balls, and a heart (not an Oz reference), and definitely learn to lighten up. Don’t be afraid of failure, as it is the middle part of success - sucking and failing repeatedly are integral parts of the learning process.

There's a lot in this book repeated elsewhere, including the school of hard knocks, but there's a ton of value in the way Tripp Lanier presents everything to you. There's a lot of man-speak, some great stories, and what I really loved is how simple the author deconstructs barriers in our thinking. He just gets down and in the mud and simply asks "ok why not?" to every hard-built barrier our minds have erected. It's hard to explain how effectively he communicates. I enjoyed the audio book much more than reading it too. He adds little extra quips and jokes that express a lot more personality and convey the message with a simplicity I wish I could think in my own head. I surprised myself with how much I liked this book. I really liked this book. A lot. 4.5 stars.

2.5 stars.
It's okay.
I think I've read it all and heard it all, so all these motivational and self-help things don't hit me anymore like they used to, and I always feel like I already know what they're trying to explain...I've felt like this for a few years now...I guess I'm getting very old :'(
My recommendation: Read the Conclusion chapter first, it's a summary of the whole book. If you like it, then consider reading the whole book. It's not a scientific book, so the author expands on the topics in a philosophical (self-help) kind of way. It's not bad, but it's not mind-blowing either...it's aight.

Great self reflection and honest book
This book came at a great time in my life and help me identify some of my crutches and reasons for feeling off. I’m not saying it fixed them but it did show me the tools I had in my toolbox and made me confront the actual problem that was leading me towards whatever funk I’m in. It’s a great book genuinely and I hate reading but I couldn’t stop once I started. I’m probably gonna check out Tripps podcast as well as a result.

Invigorating!!!
I think Tripp did a good job of helping me realize that my ego and fear is constantly holding me back. I intend to have conversations with myself to work through the dozens of issues I need to work on.
Thank you for the help and cruel words so that I stop sabotaging myself like I have been for the past 50 years!

Inspiring for those of us afraid to pursue our dreams.
This book has helped give me the courage to stand up for myself and pay attention to my needs and my dreams. I've always wanted to be a writer. But I have a long career aa an accountant. Today, I going to write, because it's a passion. I have a need.to.tell.my story.

This book felt like a personal letter
The writing style is direct and clear. This really made me look at my life and evaluate what i need to change to be happy.
I've already started my second pass through free book so i can apply this in my life.
Thank you Tripp. This has made a huge impact on me.

I have read my fair share of self-help books, but the framing and directness of this book was a nice change of pace. This was just the kick in the ass I needed to get this year started on the right note and it delivered accordingly.

Excellent read!
This book showed great change in perspective as unlearned how to cope with small problems.
I recommend it to anyone who is looking to inch their way out of a bad scenario with efficiency.

Fooled by good reviews on Amazon
Didn't like it.
Very standard stuff and written in a poor way as well.
This book will work more for people who need a strong wake up call but will do with anything at the moment.

Awesome book
There has to be more practical and more examples that could actually elaborate the concepts very well but the book was well written the grammar was nice besides I think that in a more examples were required

Actually good. Most of the books that spawned from the dating industry end up being self-aggrandizing walks through the author's transformative journey. This guy actually made it and picked up some good distinctions along the way

Great book
Good start but tailed off a little at the end. Very goo generally though and would definitely recommend. Nice one.

Love is the key

The concept of detaching goals and the experience.
Sometimes I felt the book was so verbose ..
Simple yet useful concepts
