About this listen

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".

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.

Laughing and taking notes is hard

I'll be restarting it now. Writing shorthand notes while chuckling is the only way to take notes. Saying it's "Thoroughly entertaining" is like calling Amazon "pretty successful"

Great title, better performance.

A lot of the knowledge Jeremy liven drops on you in this book is valuable, it's not just a bs book. But what really makes it kill is his narration. He does a wonderful job portraying the character in full color, even ad-libbing at multiple points throughout the reading. I recommend this book to anyone who enjoyed the show "Entourage" or wants to work as a talent agent or manager.

Ari is the Man

Fun book if you like Entourage. Saw some reviews about it not being an actual good business book. Who cares!? That's not the point. It was funny and entertaining.
