Publisher's summary

Ari Gold, after years of dominating the Hollywood agency scene, finally offers invaluable tips and advice on how to be as successful in work and in life as Gold himself.

Ari Gold is known for his ruthless approach to deal-making and client relationships that made him one of, if not the, most powerful and sought-after agents in Hollywood until he retired in 2011. In his new book The Golden Standard, Gold will illuminate, for the first time, his unique, effective and, some would say, outrageous philosophies on running a successful business, client management, employee motivation, keeping a happy home life, and other keys to his many successes. Brash, emphatic, instructive and always wise, Gold's book will rival business and leadership best sellers the world over. In his own words and with his trademark enthusiasm, Gold's tome will be the only book anyone wanting to make something of him or herself will ever need.

Ari Gold says: "In my humble opinion, if you want to run a successful business this is the only book you'll ever have to read. And my humble opinion is never wrong".

A great listen

This book is meant to be a joke of sorts, but I have to say being in sales it definitely gets me fired up. It also teaches some valuable lessons (even if theyre a little over the top in the book). Its a little annoying that Piven keeps making mistakes while reading the audible version, but its a small flaw in an overall great book. Highly recommend!

Best book ever.

Doesn't even matter that it's fictional. You will learn more about the biz in this than a semester at UCLA.
