Book Review: How to make money using this book
Summary: 5 Stars
One of the biggest challenges to reading a book like this is to figure out what to do with the information. What stops most people from being able to make the leap from reading about pimping to actualizing those pimp principles in one's life, is the lack of case study examples of how to apply Mr. Ivy's principles.
Even though many "get it" that these rules of the game can be applied to almost any aspect of life, many are stuck in thinking within a narrow context of using this game on women. I'm going to let you in on an example of how to take this game and make serious money with it. The best part is that it is legal and the amount of money you can make is ridiculous.
If you step back and peep this game carefully, what is being furnished in Pimpology can be applied almost rule by rule to the world of Wall Street. That's right, the same rules Pimpin Ken been showing you are the same rules that you can use to develop a killer inner game to trade the financial markets. Once you master the game, you will be able to break the financial markets like a pimp breaks a ho. I'll give you an example.
One of the rules of the Game he mentions is the idea of being a man that "cost." In other words, you have to see yourself as a valuable and any woman that chooses according to that value has to "pay" for it. This is the complete opposite of what squares do. These cats are conditioned to shift the value far to left where it is placed on the woman. So how does this relate to the making money in the financial markets?
In the same manner, you have to see yourself as a valuable Wall Street player that "cost." Everything from the time spent on researching market opportunities to the capital you holding is held at a premium. Therefore, if an investment comes around, you perceive that it must "choose" you. This is a far cry from how Wall Street squares play the game. They spend more time chasing investments instead of it being the other way around.
Even though it may appear trivial, this ever so slight shift in thinking is the difference between doing what you want versus doing what you can. When you start applying the rules found in Pimpology to trading the financial markets, you will have known the true meaning of, "from the ghetto blocks to Wall Street stocks."

Summary of Pimpology: The 48 Laws of the Game
The pimp has reached nearly mythical status. We are fascinated by the question of how a guy from the ghetto with no startup capital and no credit -- nothing but the words out of his mouth -- comes not only to have a stable of sexy women who consider him "their man," but to drive a Rolls, sport diamonds, and wear custom suits and alligator shoes from Italy.
His secret is to follow the "unwritten rules of the game" -- a set of regulations handed down orally from older, wiser macks -- which give him superhuman powers of charm, psychological manipulation, and persuasion.
In Pimpology, star of the documentaries Pimps Up, Ho's Down and American Pimp and Annual Players Ball Mack of the Year winner Ken Ivy pulls a square's coat on the unwritten rules that took him from the ghetto streets to the executive suites. Ken's lessons will serve any person in any interaction: Whether at work, in relationships, or among friends, somebody's got to be on top. To be the one with the upper hand, you've got to have good game, and good game starts with knowing the rules.
If you want the money, power, and respect you dream of, you can't just "pimp your ride," you need to pimp your whole life. And unless you've seen Ray Charles leading Stevie Wonder somewhere, you need Ken's guidelines to do it. They'll reach out and touch you like AT&T and bring good things to life like GE. Then you can be the boss with the hot sauce who gets it all like Monty Hall.
