Me, Inc

Ember Skies

A refreshingly blunt take on how to make it in business, with surprisingly candid details about Simmons' past. The KISS frontman details his discovery of capitalism (and how earning money can be used for good - his initial impetus for earning a dollar was to help his impoverished mother after his father left them in their native Israel in the 1950's) selling cactus leaves on a street corner as a young boy, to reinventing himself as Gene Simmons, with all the makeup, high heels and success that inevitably came to be, with explorations of examples from other successful people (Steve Jobs, Oprah Winfrey, Richard Branson) and how they made a name for themselves. 

Full of practical advice, this book is sure to inspire you to strike out on your own, and invest in yourself and your dream, whatever it may be. If you're not a Gene Simmons expert (or maybe even if you are), you may be surprised to learn of some of the jobs he held before fronting KISS and disseminating all the branded merchandise you could ever dream up. Also surprising is the candor with which Simmons explores his numerous business failures (even going so far as to say he "fail[s] every day"), as well as his personal life and the way he's treated people. Well worth a read.
