This book will teach you the precise principles I have used to become the following:
• Princeton University guest lecturer in high-tech entrepreneurship
• First American in history to hold a Guinness World Record in tango
• Advisor to more than 30 world-record holders in professional and Olympic sports
• Wired magazine’s “Greatest Self-Promoter of 2008”
• National Chinese kickboxing champion
• Horseback archer (yabusame) in Nikko, Japan
• Political asylum researcher and activist
• MTV breakdancer in Taiwan
• Hurling competitor in Ireland
• Actor on hit TV series in mainland China and Hong Kong (Human Cargo)
How I got to this point is a tad less glamorous:
1977 Born 6 weeks premature and given a 10% chance of living. I survive instead and grow so fat that I can’t roll onto my stomach. A muscular imbalance of the eyes makes me look in opposite directions, and my mother refers to me affectionately as “tuna fish.” So far so good.
1983 Nearly fail kindergarten because I refuse to learn the alphabet. My teacher refuses to explain why I should learn it, opting instead for “I’m the teacher—that’s why.” I tell her that’s stupid and ask her to leave me alone so I can focus on drawing sharks. She sends me to the “bad table” instead and makes me eat a bar of soap. Disdain for authority begins.
1991 My first job. Ah, the memories. I’m hired for minimum wage as the cleaner at an ice cream
