The Hacker Mindset

A 5-Step Methodology for Cracking the System and Achieving Your Dreams

By: Garrett Gee

Narrated by: Arthur Keng

For the countless people feeling trapped in their jobs and whose talents aren't being fully utilized, this book offers a wake-up call to break free from the constraints of ordinary employment and achieve true financial freedom.

When boy genius Garrett Gee started working for the federal government at age 15, he figured fame and fortune were only a stone's throw away. Despite impressive credentials and enormous potential in the world of computer hacking, Gee found himself years later as just another salaried employee. He soon realized that though he was a hacker at work, he was a slacker when it came to leading his own life. But as soon as he applied his meticulous hacker mindset to his personal life, everything changed—and success rolled in quickly.

Those who feel unfulfilled and stuck in the system, unable to realize their dreams as their careers merely bump along, can use this same hacker mindset in any situation or industry to overcome obstacles and identify the quickest path to true success—a success they can define for themselves. Drawing on decades of experience in cybersecurity, Gee outlines our innate hacker abilities in the face of society's best efforts to brainwash us to be slackers, and he offers readers practical advice alongside the six principles of the hacker mindset:

1. Be on Offense

2. Reverse Engineering

3. Living Off the Land

4. Risk

5. Social Engineering

6. Pivot

For anyone seeking to ascend the corporate ladder, leave their job to start their own business, or obtain greater freedom in their life, The Hacker Mindset is an essential guide to hacking established systems in any sphere and unlocking one's fullest potential.

Direct and thought provoking and offers genuine insight.

I like the way of thinking and questioning that brought about problem-solving solutions. Direct clearly described messages provides the reader with an easy to listen to and thought-provoking assessment of “ a hackers” thought process. It should be read by young and old alike, to open up the mind and consider reasonable options and alternative responses. Excellent.

Well written and narrated self help book

Recognize the areas where you are a slacker in strategy or execution and oscillate. Find alternative paths to success. Hack the planet!

Crappy narrarator

overall a great book but the guy who reads it needs to pick up the pace. I almost feel like he thought he was reading a dr Seuss book with his enunciation and slow reading style...
But, the content was worth bearing it out!
