Publisher's summary

Pirates didn’t just break the rules, they rewrote them. They didn’t just reject society, they reinvented it. Pirates didn’t just challenge the status quo, they changed everyf--kingthing. Pirates faced a self-interested establishment, a broken system, industrial-scale disruption, and an uncertain future. Sound familiar?

“I’d rather be a pirate than join the navy.” (Steve Jobs)

Pirates stood for mischief, purpose, and power. And you can, too.

Be More Pirate unveils the innovative strategies of Golden Age pirates, drawing parallels between the tactics and teachings of legends like Henry Morgan and Blackbeard with modern rebels like Elon Musk, Malala, and Banksy. Featuring takeaway sections and a guide to building your own pirate code 2.0, Be More Pirate will show you how to leave your mark on the 21st century:

  1. Rebel - Draw strength by standing up to the status quo.
  2. Rewrite - Bend, break, but most importantly, rewrite the rules.
  3. Reorganize - Collaborate to achieve scale, rather than growth.
  4. Redistribute - Fight for fairness, share power, and make an enemy of exploitation.
  5. Retell - Weaponize your story, then tell the hell out of it.

Whatever your ambitions, ideas, and challenges, Be More Pirate will revolutionize the way you live, think, and work today and tomorrow. So what are you waiting for? Join the rebellion.

Very inspirational!

I knew a bit about pirate history, like Bonnie and Jack and Blackbeard. I have been fascinated that they were the social movers of the era and defined what it looks like to challenge a status quo. This book takes those principles and applies them to modern-day culture. It pumped me up to push back against so many injustices by instilling a little good trouble.

Soft

Soft and superficial, I feel like I have been taught to be more tame than wild and free.

capitalist rhetoric sold as self help

this book was recommended on Upstream, one of my favorite podcasts, and I was intrigued by the idea of hearing historical narratives of pirates using radical organizing tactics. instead, the author praises Elon Musk as a revolutionary thinker, and drops the N word unnecessarily. The whole thing seems to echo the age old capitalist sentiment of "if you're smart and productive, you can get rich". nothing radical about that at all.
