How to Survive and Prosper
in a World of Chaos
A Special message from Robert Ringer …
I firmly believe that the United States is on the wrong path — culturally, morally, and, above all, economically. In the late 1970s, I began predicting a collapse of the U.S. housing market, the demise of the dollar, and a skyrocketing national debt.
The media, however, condescendingly brushed aside my call for a return to moral and fiscal responsibility by labeling me a “doom-and-gloom” alarmist, but in truth I am no such thing. On the contrary, I’m very positive about the prospects for individual success — success for individuals who base their actions on the way the world is rather than the way they would like it to be.
Timing Can Make All the Difference
Then, along came (1) Ronald Reagan, with his infectious optimism, and (2) an explosion of technology — particularly computer technology — that increased wealth production, pushed prices downward, and elevated wages.
Even more important, the government poured countless dollars into the economy to help reinforce the illusion that people drowning in debt were somehow well off. In the end, it was the extension of easy credit that served as the nuclear reactor that in turn enriched the economic uranium used for America’s financial meltdown.
Which brings us to today and a government that is hell bent on spending the United States into oblivion. The people who have their hands on the fiscal and monetary controls are economic charlatans who are focused on their own power.
All of them are ignoring the real causes of our economic problems. Instead of allowing people to be free to naturally stimulate the economy through voluntary transactions, they are forcing “solutions” on us that are guaranteed to make things worse.
These economic quacks excel at shouting nonsensical phrases and slogans such as “shared prosperity” and “social justice.” And, sadly, low-information voters wildly cheer them on as though they had come up with a cure for cancer.
The Economic Chickens are
Coming Home to Roost
It’s getting harder and harder for the government to sugarcoat the truth, because the realities of our once free-market economy are far more powerful than the lies and schemes of politicians. Right now, unrelenting inflation, wasteful government programs, a weak job market, troublesome housing and commercial real estate markets, and a skyrocketing national debt that can never be repaid are just some of the most visible examples of this.
Even though only a relatively small number of Americans have the slightest understanding of the underlying causes of our financial demise, the harsh reality is that there is no turning back. Actions have consequences, and decades of politically inspired redistribution-of-wealth policies cannot escape the effects of universal law.
Because there are so many factors that come into play, I no longer try to predict the timing of events. But with a reasonable amount of knowledge, an understanding that universal law is immutable, and a bit of common sense, it’s not difficult to predict the ultimate consequences of fiscal irresponsibility.
There are two possible outcomes to all this. One is a deflationary depression, which in many ways would be far worse than the Great Depression of the 1930s. The second (and more likely) scenario is hyperinflation, which would render the U.S. dollar worthless. With their vote-buying schemes and “stimulus packages,” this is the path the U.S. government is now on.
Obviously, politicians favor an inflationary “solution” because they are painfully aware that telling the public the truth is a sure path to defeat in the next election. Even so, in all honesty, neither I nor anyone else can say with absolute certainty precisely how all this madness will play out.
The only thing that is certain is that politicians will continue to raise taxes, increase the money supply, increase the national debt, and increasingly clamp down on individual liberty. In other words, shades of the late seventies — only far worse.
Succeeding in a World of Chaos
Because the above elements guarantee that the U.S. is in for more economic bad times, I made the decision to put together a three-hour audio series — Succeeding in a World of Chaos — in which I analyze and elaborate on the most important points made in my three biggest-selling prosperity books.
The first two of these books helped millions of people survive Jimmy Carter’s near-destruction of the U.S. economy in the late 1970s, and I would like to see them do the same for millions of people today.
The chaotic financial times we are living in bear no resemblance to the world I grew up in. Which is why it's crucial for you to adapt your thinking to the realities of today’s upside-down world. Those who cling to outdated myths about job security, a quickly rebounding economy, and government as the great protector of the people will have little control over their own destinies.

If you’ve read any of my books, you know that I place a great deal of emphasis on understanding human nature, having a clear insight into the way the world works, and developing the ability to move quickly to take advantage of attractive profit opportunities. In short, my focus is on reality.
The Catalyst for My First Book
One of the reasons I rewrote Winning Through Intimidation (also published under the title To Be or Not to Be Intimidated?) and Looking Out for #1 is that I knew it was only a matter of time until the consequences of the government’s irresponsible actions would be upon us. We are not just in for tough times. We already are, and have long been, in an invisible depression, a depression that is becoming more visible each day.
And what do politicians offer as solutions? Bailouts, mammoth spending bills euphemistically referred to as “stimulus packages,” tax-increases, and more and more free stuff for all those it deems to be “in need.” People are now addicted to the good-life aberration provided by our nanny state, and no politician has the nerve to tell them that the well is rapidly running dry.
I could go on and on about the economic turmoil ahead, but that’s a whole book in itself. Right now, my main focus is the same as it was back in the seventies: During the worst of times, the most valuable assets you own are your knowledge and wisdom.
In other words, as the late Mark McCormack put it, what counts are the very things they don’t teach you at Harvard Business School. Even liberal billionaire Warren Buffet says, “The best investment you can make is in yourself.”
So-called bad times always provide great opportunities for wise, knowledgeable, action-oriented entrepreneurs. As a writer of books on psychology, philosophy, sociology, and personal-development, I believe that my greatest asset is that I write from the vantage point of someone who has been in the trenches and not only survived, but prospered — especially during bad economic times.
Whatever I’ve been able to accomplish has been the result of my being a student of human nature, acting in accordance with the way the world works, and consistently recognizing reality and using it to my benefit.
Success Tools that Never Go Out of Style
I’m proud of the fact that my books — particularly Winning Through Intimidation, Looking Out for #1, and Action! Nothing Happens Until Something Moves — have helped millions of people achieve success. And it’s nice to know that the principles, insights, strategies, and techniques I wrote about in these books never go out of style.
In fact, I believe they are more relevant today than ever before, because human nature, psychology, philosophical insights into life, and universal principles remain constant. These have always been, and always will be, the tools of trade for great achievers in all fields of endeavor. In other words, savvy and common sense — not academic theory — is what carries the day.
With the above in mind, in my three-hour, downloadable audio series — Succeeding in a World of Chaos — I dissect, analyze, and expand on what I’ve written in my three bestselling prosperity books in an effort to arm you with the tools you need to survive and prosper during the difficult economic times ahead.

And, by the way, while listening to my strategies and insights, it would be helpful if you had e-copies of the most recently updated editions of each my three books opened on your computer for quick reference. If you don’t currently own all of them, no problem. As a bonus, I am including with this offer e-copies of all three books — FREE OF CHARGE.
These are not summaries, but full-length, completely updated editions of all three works, which are not available in any bookstore. What is especially good about owning them in an e-book format is that you can store the PDF files in your own computer, which will make it possible for you to access any information quickly by simply using the search function in whatever program you use.

I again emphasize that Succeeding in a World of Chaos is not about economics or investment advice. It’s about applying universal principles that work during both good times and bad.
My objective is to make certain that you understand why mastering the basics (something get-rich-quick types tend to ignore) is the true path to unlimited personal growth, real motivation (as opposed to the phony rah-rah stuff), financial success, and great achievements in all areas of life — regardless of the state of the economy.
Because of the destabilization of the U.S. economy, mastering the entrepreneurial basics is a necessity for anyone serious about not only surviving, but prospering, during the troublesome years ahead.
In other words, the quickest way to get from where you are now to where you want to be in life is to invest your time and energy in increasing your knowledge and wisdom … or, simply put, learning as much as possible about how the world works.
Everyone is familiar with Roger Bacon’s most famous quote that “knowledge is power.” And never have his words been more appropriate than today. Alvin Toffler obviously concurred with Bacon in his groundbreaking book Power Shift when he said that the “highest quality” power is derived from knowledge, because knowledge is efficient.
And that’s what Succeeding in a World of Chaos is all about — acquiring as much knowledge and wisdom as possible, because knowledge and wisdom give you the power to succeed even when the deck is stacked against you.
That’s why I hope you will take advantage of this money-saving opportunity covering the three books upon which I have built my own success — Winning Through Intimidation, Looking Out for #1, and Action! Nothing Happens Until Something Moves.
Yours in prosperity,
Robert Ringer
