"I started from scratch. I turned ignorance into knowledge, earning doctorates and powerful positions. But academic theory is useless. The market is a ruthless battlefield, full of jealousy, insidious threats, and challenges that demand efficiency, not morality. This Code is not a manual. It is an experiential doctrine based on the cold reality of the war for survival and dominance.
The Manager is not a coordinator. He is a manipulator of reality. This book reveals why emotion is a technical error and why trust is simply a variable that must be manipulated. You will learn to see every interaction as a chessboard on which you set the rules, turning your opponent's objections and fears into irreversible commitments."
