In The Truth, Neil Strauss takes on his greatest challenge yet: Relationships. And in this wild and highly entertaining ride, he explores the questions that men and women are asking themselves every day: Is it natural to be faithful to one person for life? Do alternatives to monogamy lead to better relationships and greater happiness? What draws us to the partners we choose? Can we keep passion and romance from fading over time?His quest for answers takes him from Viagra-laden free-love orgies to sex addiction clinics, from cutting-edge science labs to modern-day harems, and, most terrifying of all, to his own mother.What he discovered changed everything he knew about love, sex, relationships, and, ultimately, himself.Searingly honest and compulsively readable, The Truth just may have the same effect on you.If The Game taught you how to meet members of the opposite sex, The Truth will teach you how to keep them.

Combining wit and journalistic detail, "Emergency" follows Strauss' search for an escape plan from the seemingly ever-more unstable United States and world, eventually obtaining a second citizenship in a small Caribbean island. Facing shady lawyers, cult leaders, crippling doubts, governmental corruption, and plane-flying, gun-toting billionaires along the way, Strauss casts light upon today's heart of darkness and learns the skills it seems are needed to be a true survivor in this brave new world.

"The Game" recounts the incredible adventures of an everyday man who transforms himself from a shy, awkward writer into the quick-witted, smooth-talking Style, a character irresistible to women. But just when life is better than he could have ever dreamed (he uses his techniques on Britney Spears, receives life coaching from Tom Cruise, moves into a mansion with Courtney Love and is officially voted the World's Number One Pickup Artist) he falls head over heels for a woman who can beat him at his own game.

If you want to play the Game, you've got to know the Rules. In his international bestseller The Game, Neil Strauss delved into the secret world of pick-up artists--men who have created a science out of the art of seduction. Not only did he reveal the techniques that they had developed, but he became a master of The Game, and the world's No. 1 PUA, as Style. Now, in his first follow-up to The Game, comes an extraordinary package: A lavishly produced, two-volume pocket-size set that every pickup artist--accomplished or aspiring--will need to have. The first book, The Stylelife Challenge, is the manual Strauss thought he'd never write: the ultimate guide to landing the woman of your dreams. Bound in white leatherette, it offers an in-depth 30-day program, Strauss challenges readers to confront their insecurities and overcome them through a process of rigorous self-examination, briefings and field missions. In the second book, Strauss takes readers into the dark side of The Game. Bound in black leatherette, The Style Diaries offers a series of tales of seduction and sexual (mis)adventure. From accidentally getting married during a drunken night in Reykjavik, to luring a famous musician's granddaughter into a threesome; from conducting a keenly felt and tender relationship over email, to the stress and frustration of the torturous and highly unorthodox "30 Day Sex Experiment," The Style Diaries takes you further into the seduction underworld than ever before, and delves where The Game never dared to tread: into the even more complicated rules of relationships.

Neil Strauss can uncover the naked truth like nobody else. With his groundbreaking book The Game, Strauss penetrated the secret society of pickup artists; now, in Everyone Loves You When You’re Dead, his candid, surprising, and often hysterical interviews reveal the hidden sides of 120 of the world’s biggest celebrities, from Hugh Heffner to Johnny Cash to Snoop Dogg and beyond.

"One of the 33 books everyone should reading before turning 30." -- The Independent "I am not the hero in this story . . . I am the villain."In this highly acclaimed and revelatory classic, New York Times and Rolling Stone journalist Neil Strauss embarks on a deeply personal quest to discover why the rate of infidelity, divorce, and marital unhappiness is so high - and what we can do about it. In this quest to heal his intimacy issues, he explores love addiction and love avoidance; sex addiction and sex anorexia; enmeshment and abandonment; and, most importantly, why so many people attract the partners most likely to wound them. What he discovers about himself--and what you will discover about yourself and your partners from reading this--will change the way you date, love, and commit.

Drogeneskapaden, wilde Sexabenteuer, kaputte Hotelzimmer, Schlägereien und Gefängnisaufenthalte. Wer glaubt, schon alles über Rock'n'Roll-Exzesse zu wissen, kennt entweder Mötley Crüe nicht oder hat dieses Buch nicht gelesen. Die amerikanische Hardrockband hat seit ihrer Gründung Anfang der 80er-Jahre alles unternommen, um den bekannten Rockstar-Klischees die Krone aufzusetzen. Gemeinsam mit Bestsellerautor Neil Strauss gelang ihnen mit ?The Dirt? eine unglaublich wilde, unterhaltsame und grandios witzige Bandchronik, die demnächst auch auf die Kinoleinwand kommen wird. Die Band feiert derzeit in den USA ein triumphales Live-Comeback, auch für Deutschland sind Ende 2005 Konzerte geplant.

Mötley Crüe är världens mest ökända rockband. Whiskey och porrstjärnor, bilkrascher, svart läder och höga klackar, överdoser och död är alla ingredienser i Mötley Crües liv - det band vars medlemmar dricker mest, slåss mest, har mest sex och är mest arroganta i världen. De har ägnat en hel karriär åt att leva så extremt som möjligt. Tommy Lee gifte sig med två internationella sexsymboler; Vince Neil dödade en man och förlorade en dotter i cancer; Nikki Sixx tog en överdos, återuppstod från de döda, och tog ännu en överdos dagen efter; Mick Mars sköt en kvinna och försökte hänga sin egen bror. Och det är bara början I The Dirt: Bekännelser från världens mest ökända rockband drar fyra ökända rockstjärnor den klassiska rock’n’roll-myten i egen whiskeyindränkt tappning. Och de tvekar inte att göra sin historia mer spännande med alla tillgängliga medel. Paramount Classics och MTV Films planerar att göra .lm på boken, med Mötley Crüe som producenter. Neil Strauss är journalist på New York Times och Rolling Stone och har skrivit två av de senaste årens mest lästa biografier: The Long Hard Road Out of Hell tillsammans med Marilyn Manson, och Att älska som en porrstjärna: En sedelärande berättelse [ Modernista, 2005] med Jenna Jameson.
