The siren song of Cerro Gordo, a desolate ghost town perched high above Death Valley, has seduced thousands since the 1800s, but few fell harder for it than Brent Underwood, who moved there in March of 2020, only to be immediately snowed in and trapped for weeks. It had once been the largest silver mine in California. Over $500 million worth of ore was pulled from the miles of tunnels below the town. Butch Cassidy, Mark Twain, and other infamous characters of the American West were rumored to have stayed there. Newspapers reported a murder a week. But that was over 150 years ago.

I listen to a lot of books on audiobooks and this is not something That would normally catch my eye but I was drawn to it for some reason. I found the reason. I'm going down a very similar path and this book has gave me so much more inspiration and reassurance on my decisions I have made. im very Happy I stumbled upon this book. Even if you might not be on a similar path, or even if you're not an outdoors type of person, you can still find a lot of meaning and inspiration in this book.

As cofounder of KISS, America's number one gold-record award-winning group of all time, Simmons knows the thrill and seduction of power firsthand. But gold records alone don't equal power. The decisions you make once you attain a certain level of success are what separate the pretenders from the pantheon. Inspired by Niccolo Machiavelli's The Prince, Simmons offers his unique take on the dynamics of power in every realm of life, from the bedroom to the boardroom, to the world of rock, celebrity, and social media, to politics.

very good overall book. but in my opinion I don't believe that women should be told to take up more masculine qualities. This advice benefits the few but does a greater disservice to women in general. That type of thinking is disrupted to society and is pushed way too much in this modern age.
