Thick Face Black Heart

The best book I have ever read, not only do I read it over and over again but I'm working on memorizing it. Very powerful book.

You Need No Other Book!

Rarely does a book come along that gets labled "companion", but Thick Face Black Heart is just that. Like Gracian's "The Art of Wordly Wisdon", this book is a companion for life. To be read and re-read.I searched and read for a long time differing books on succeeding in life. I bought this book based on a comment from a reviewer inside which said, "If I had to carry only two books on a runway it would be Sun Tzu's Art of War and Thick Face Black Heart."Being a huge long time fan of SunTzu, I figured I had to give this book a chance. It was one of the best decisions I have made.The clarity into how life works whether you like it or not is worth the cost alone. Too many people (myself included) have a hard time believing that the world (and life) itself is a battlefield. This illumination will not depress you - in fact it will rejuvinate you.My copy is dog-eared to no end. I read it through at least twice a year and keep it by my bed (whether at home or on the road). This is not money wasted. The best compliment I can give about this book? After having read Thick Face Black Heart the first time, I threw all other self-help books I owned (Tony Robbins included)in the trash. I haven't missed them since.

A great book to have in these not so great times

"Thick Face, Black Heart" is a view of the world through the lens of adversity. This is why its theme is about struggle and its principles are about winning in the battle of life. However, inside its pages, one can see the anguish of a spirit that longs to find a world filled with love instead of a world filled with self-interest and betrayal. The book creates faith and doubt at the same time and fast gaining adherents despite its harsh advice on how to survive and succeed in this world. It is becoming the new handbook of success.

Great, inspirational read.
