A Really Fun and Thoughtful Book

Reviewed in the United States on February 15, 2019

How to innovate for the future... Be More Pirate! This author has done a great job of making me think outside the box in business and try things a different way. Really great writing and has some interesting correlations between Golden Age Pyrates and modern life. Great price for Kindle Version as well :) Have asked my library to order this for the public!

great book

Reviewed in the United States on April 16, 2019

I received this book before the estimated delivery. The only thing I’m bummed about is this seller used a sticker that doesn’t come off easily so part of the cover ripped when trying to get the sticker off. I’ve skimmed through the book and it looks like it’s going to be a good read. I’m excited to get started.

Easy read about pirates

Reviewed in the United States on August 28, 2021

Verified Purchase

Light, easy read about pirates. It spins the pirate life from one of murder and plunder (acknowledging it did happen) to be one of a forward thinking group embracing equality and setting the stage for future government ideas (same sex marriage, worker comp, etc.). It's a different to think about pirates as stealing from those with a license to steal legally (looking at you, British privateers) as well as pirates colliding with governors and leaders around the world.

I am loving this book and only on chapter 2... I was already thinking this way and this book was nothing short of confirmation that I'm on the right path!

Pirate Tips From History That You Can Use In The Modern World

Reviewed in the United States on March 2, 2020

Co-founder and former CEO of Livity, Don’t Panic, and Live magazine takes historical examples from the Golden Age of Pirates and a few modern examples to show how emulating pirates can make you more successful and the world more fair. The Golden Age Pirates got their start in the Navies of the British Empire. Even attacking ships for loot was Privateering sanctioned by the crown. The Pirates took this and went independent. They added Quartermasters that other navies would adopt and was a prelude to modern Human Resources. They paid out for injuries, something the modern world didn’t have for work until the 20th century. Pirate shares for loot and electing captains led to a Pirate Republic in Nassau.
These lessons provide a road map for the enterprising pirate. They show how Pirate radio challenged the BBC and illegal music downloads led to I-tunes. Turning a mutiny into a movement as the author suggests. Every step of the way you can use Pirate tips to shake up the status quo, from a global brand like the skull and crossbones (thank you Calico Jack) to retelling your pirate tales to make a legend for others to live up to (Blackbeard). Full of fun and helpful examples at the end of the chapters the reader is invited not to just read, but to participate.
Lest you think that it is all walking the plank and stealing booty there are also tips on building a team using the Pirates fairness initiatives. Pay for bonuses like seeing the first ship on the horizon. Using Pirate shares as a model for fair pay. A culture that discourages internal theft. Then scaling so the world has to follow you. Modern Social Entrepreneurs can harness their passion as a competitive advantage. Learn why Steve Jobs said “I’d rather be a pirate than in the Navy”.

Great actionable business book

Reviewed in the United States on July 26, 2019

Possibly the best business book I’ve read. And I read too many, though most get swept aside before I finish. Well written and thoughtful.

One of the greatest things is you learn the history of pirates in a way that will appeal to many while the ideas there are connected to business and societal situations. A kind of action/reaction thing but really that’s the wrong analogy.

And there’s work to do, but not laborious. Just a question at the end of each section to help you find ways to make good trouble.

Buy this book... if you don’t like the content then it will still look cool on the shelf because it’s bright pink.

Ahistorical, breathless trash

Reviewed in the United States on December 1, 2023

Verified Purchase

This book is long on enthusiasm and short on research and facts. Basically, the premise is pirates were oppressed young people (just like today!) who rebelled and were really egalitarian role models (just like we should do today!). I mean there were a *few* women and if we look past the murder, torture, and stealing bits, they really were social justice warriors. Also unabashedly pads the thin content by rhapsodizing up front about how he will prove to you all these amazing things in the rest of the book!!! I started skimming, and went through to chapter 2 before I chucked it in the recycling bin. How are there high ratings for this book? It could have been a post on linkedin that I would have unfollowed.
