Pride (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781502949004)

"Pride is perhaps one of the most inspiring stories to help readers realize what it takes to achieve the American notion of success as there is some critical life advice that will help you improve your emotional and mental intelligence." --SeriousReading.com

"I picked it up to check it out. Couldn't put it down! I mean, I REALLY enjoyed it. Excellent work! It actually helped me to get a better sense of what Academy life is like, and I think that helped me understand Allen even better. I cannot wait to read more!" --Wife of a sailor

Welcome to the world of John-also known as Primo, the ego-driven narrator of this blazingly clever novel by Cole Patterson.

Broken into three books-Pride, Humility, and Dharma-this trilogy serves as a guide to mastering life, love, and the American Dream for those astute enough to discover the lessons within its pages.

While chronicling the birth, childhood, meteoric rise, and humbling fall of John, readers are treated to a front row seat to the life events that shape his ego, develop his understanding of himself, and inform his ideas about the world.

Through the poetic voice of John's ego, learn some hard-won wisdom on how to successfully pick up women, increase social and emotional intelligence, and perhaps even reach total enlightenment.

Brilliant, irreverent, and thrillingly thought provoking, Masked Ambition is a crash course on how to survive life's blows-and come out swinging.
