The Theatrical Juggernaut (The Psyche of the Star): 2nd Edition, Director's Cut [Paperback]

Monroe Mann (Author)

Book Description

Publication Date: October 6, 2006

"This book may be just the antidote for an actor who has completely lost faith or given up control over his destiny." - Backstage West, Los Angeles "If this book is any indication of things to come, we are going to be hearing a lot about Monroe Mann." - Bob Fraser, Emmy-recognized actor, producer, writer, and director, and author of You Must Act "A how-to for aspiring stars based on boot-camp persistence." - CNN's Wolf Blitzer "To make it big, you need the Real Deal. Mr. Mann is the Real Deal." - Jay Conrad Levinson, author of the Guerrilla Marketing series of books This book is unlike any other you will read on the subject of acting. It is not about how to find good headshots, how to perfect a monologue, or how to find an agent, though these subjects are indirectly touched upon. It's about how to succeed in the arts. It's about why 99% of aspiring professional actors fail to even get their foot in the door, and how the other 1% somehow do get their foot in the door... and actually stay there. Once and for all, this book aims to shatter the absurd notion that acting professionally is a privilege for only a select few, and that without a 'break' given by the industry, there is no hope for success. The blame for your failure (and the credit for your success) can only be put on yourself, and not the business. Forget the nay-sayers; wave goodbye to the critics; laugh at the agents who won't respond to you. The Theatrical Juggernaut is going to inspire you like no other 'how-to' book has ever done before.

From the Author

Dear Potential Reader:

Thank you for reading about my book.

I wrote "The Theatrical Juggernaut" because I am sick of people coming up with excuses why they aren't getting anywhere in showbusiness.

I wrote this book because I am sick of pessimistic losers telling everyone what CANNOT be done.

I wrote this book because I want to prove that the impossible is within anyone's reach.

I wrote this book because I know what the human spirit is truly capable of achieving.

I wrote this book because I needed something to keep ME going as I claw my way to the top of Hollywood!

This book is GOOD!! ;)

So good in fact that Unstoppable Actors[.com], the company that inspired this fine publication, will refund your money if you are not satisfied!

THAT'S RIGHT: A 100% MONEY-BACK GUARANTEE! As mentioned inside the book, if "The Theatrical Juggernaut" doesn't give you the psyche of a star, and make you feel totally Unstoppable... then get your money back. Could there be a simpler decision?

On that note, enjoy the book, and I look forward to seeing you at the TOP!

This review is from: The Theatrical Juggernaut: The Psyche of the Star (Paperback)

I picked up this book on a whim and was happily surprised. Unlike other "How to be an Actor" books this book a motivational tool. Monroe is the Tony Robbins of the entertainment biz. I have felt a renewed sense of direction and power over my life since reading this book. Everything that Monroe says is right on the money and he gives the reader a great lookout on everyday aspects of our lives.
If you haven't read this or Monroe's other book From Benning and Back pick them both up and get motivated today.
... The man is like 25 and is accomplishing big things, he doesn't jst talk the talk, he runs full speed to his goals.

5.0 out of 5 stars The actor's guide to taking action, March 29, 2007

By 

Niki Clarke (Surrey, UK) - See all my reviews

This review is from: The Theatrical Juggernaut (The Psyche of the Star): 2nd Edition, Director's Cut (Paperback)

The phenomenon has reached England! The Theatrical Juggernaut has been an inspiration to me, as well as a huge reality check. It really does work on the actor's, or should I say Star's, psyche. For once in my life I feel that I am in control of my acting career; my success does not rely on someone else spotting my talent but how I market myself, handle My Business and create my own work. My perspective on the industry has been turned upside down as I realise that the power does not rest with Agents and Casting Directors, a career in acting is not just for the special few and your success definitely does not rely on luck. This book emphasises the correlation between success and business; you cannot have your head in the creative clouds, you MUST realise and accept that you are a business and as such you need to be proactive and generate custom. Monroe Mann gives you heaps of advice and inspiration to ensure you see him at the top! This book doesn't teach you how to act, it assumes you have the talent, it teaches you how to take action.

5.0 out of 5 stars A friendly, conversational scolding, May 15, 2007

This review is from: The Theatrical Juggernaut (The Psyche of the Star): 2nd Edition, Director's Cut (Paperback)

I was surprised at how much I liked this book. It was a quick read, very conversational in style. But, it shook me. I was embarrassed that I was not doing all I could for my career. It was the kind of tough-love scolding you can only get from someone who cares. It inspired me to get off my lazy butt to go and take some action.
