About this listen

The much-anticipated memoir of Dan Bilzerian is almost here! Dan takes listeners on a wild ride, from his anything-but-normal childhood, to the insanity that has followed him on his journey to becoming one of the most famous people in the world. Hear about his upbringing, military service, gambling, guns and other toys, and about girls. Lots of girls. And for the first time, Dan talks openly about how he was able to live unapologetically live his dreams using a simple method that he calls "The Setup".

The Setup is jam-packed with crazy stories and incredible adventures that bring listeners into the world of Dan Bilzerian.

honesty

I found this very entertaining, but mostly inspiring, Dan shows that if you put your mind and soul into something, then you can achieve it, I also liked his no bull attitude and with the world seemingly against men being men its great to hear him standing up and proving the world needs men to be men.

Fun book

This is mostly the things that Dan had already gone over in his interviews, but always interesting to get an insight from a new angle into his head and life

I would rate it good-great, rather than excellent because it wasn’t on Dan’s own voice, which would have been way better

At least he did release the audiobook though… i had been waiting for a while

NOT FOR THE SENSITIVE

From the very first page to the very last, The Setup is an absolute rollercoaster of emotions and experiences. This highly entertaining book delves into the life of Bilzerian and trust me when I say, it's a journey you won't want to miss.

Each page is filled with shocking twists, surprising turns, and laugh-out-loud moments that will keep you hooked from start to finish. Whether it's the unbelievable escapades of The Setup or the hilarious anecdotes that will leave you in stitches, there's never a dull moment in this extraordinary tale.

What makes this book truly stand out is its ability to captivate and engage readers with its sheer unpredictability. Just when you think you've seen it all, Dan throws another curveball that will leave you gasping in disbelief.

Overall, The Setup is a must-read for anyone looking for a book that will keep them entertained from cover to cover. With its blend of shock, surprise, and laughter, it's a story that will stay with you long after you've turned the final page.

Dan’s delivery of his escapades & events is brazen & straight up hilarious

Say what you want about the guy but he had a goal in life & he took it by the balls and wielded it into existence. The lifestyle does sound a tad bit vapid in parts but damn it’s hilarious and I’d be shocked if the teenage boy in all of us didn’t smile listening to parts of this book.

More than just a jolly boys outing

Having written several books and read many, this tome - along with "Judas Pig" and "Watch my back" - is one of the only books that made me take a long hard look in the mirror and think, if I have these thoughts, feelings and recollections on my past as the authors do, is that the way I have behaved and was perceived?

Dan Bilzerian is not trying to make you like him, feel sorry for him or treat him as some sort of model citizen in what he has written in this book, but he, and other guest contributors, go to great lengths to be honest - on the good, the bad and the ugly.

Yes, on occasion, when he recounts the latest model he has banged, or line of drugs he has ingested you do think "Where have I heard this before" but that aside, he has managed to take all of his non-conventional success - as well as many admitted failures - and attach a hard won wisdom that is only achieved through "Doing" (Whether that is fame, money, women or a hedonistic lifestyle)

He also concludes with a cautionary note about what constitutes true happiness and the importance of gratitude on what you DO have and not what you THINK you want.

A very enjoyable book that would have benefited from some more structure (Hence 4 stars instead of 5)

Look forward to more from Dan in the future. I found a new respect for him after reading the book,

Incredible story. Incredible life

Maan, he has lived a crazy life. He has inspired me so much to become the best version of myself. I'm aiming for the top of the heap. I'll get there.

Amazing madness

Very interesting book. Good points on women, fame, money and life prospective. Slightly sad finish but definitely very useful.
