Ryan C. Greene. In this half memoir, half self-help book, Ryan opens up and takes you on an intimate, funny and 100% true journey through 15 of his past relationships and shows how the lessons he learned from each ex-girlfriend can be used to shape individuals into greater leaders. Ryan's theme "You do not need a title to be a leader; you need a purpose" rings true throughout the book as he stresses the importance of becoming the leader you want to be, before your business card says you are. This book is so vividly written that you will actually feel as if you are right there with Ryan living his life all over. If there has ever been a personal development book that reads like a movie this is that book. If you are a child of the 80's and 90's then you will love the way each chapter takes you back to that year with the timely slang, musical and pop culture references of that era. Growing up, we were all faced with many temptations. Some chose drugs, others chose alcohol, and Ryan chose women. This story shows how Ryan went from a geek trying to fit in with the in-crowd, to becoming the big man on his college campus, to a heart breaking gigolo to ultimately being redeemed by Christ and finding his very last ex-girlfriend- his wife. At times in this book you will cheer for Ryan while at other times you will want to boo the decisions he made. You may want to pat him on the back in one chapter and then punch him in the neck in the next. Regardless of how each situation plays out and the unorthodox road Ryan took to get there; there is no denying that each leadership lesson is vitally important to the overall growth of leaders on all levels. This book is not a Wilt Chamberlain type braggadocios chronicling of Ryan's past conquests of the female gender. While each story shares details of his very personal relationships, they each teach valuable leadership lessons he learned that will also help you grow as a leader in your business, professional and private life. Ryan's story is a testament to the fact that no matter what you may have done in your past God is a forgiving God and He will still use you in spite of your past and often times specifically because of your past. Today our young men are bombarded with messages urging them to be a playa or a pimp and our young women are constantly told they have to act like porn stars in order to succeed in life. While images of how great it is to live life in the fast lane saturate all forms of media no one ever talks about the consequences of such a lascivious lifestyle. Ryan C. Greene lived life in the fast lane and he paid the price for it as well. Whether you like it or not, this is his story. If you are ready to become a better leader and achieve all that God has purposed for your life then it is time for you to take a look into My Little Black Book Of Leadership.
