Sunday, April 7, 2019 not only marked WrestleMania 35, but also the release of Good Advice From Professional Wrestling: Full Contact Life Lessons From The Pinnacle Performance Art, a new book by authors Darren Paltrowitz and D.X. Ferris via 6623 Press.
This eminently readable self-help manual — the #1 best-selling new wrestling-related item on Amazon on its day of release (available here) — finds useful life lessons in inspiring quotes from dozens of wrestling-related icons including Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson, movie star Dave “Bautista” Batista, rock singer and Hall of Fame inductee Lita, MLW star Salina de la Renta, AEW co-founders Cody Rhodes and The Young Bucks. WWE counterculture iconoclasts Daniel Bryan, Bruno Sammartino, and ECW mastermind Paul Heyman. Whether you’re a fan, teacher, salesman, or landscaper, Good Advice From Professional Wrestling is an entertaining guide on how to “get over” and improve your life, one step at a time.
The book’s foreword was written by WWE Hall of Famer and international fitness guru Diamond Dallas Page.
“Professional wrestling is much more sophisticated than most people will give it credit for,” says co-author Paltrowitz, who in addition to authoring other works, is a podcast host. “When done well, it communicates on a universal level, much like music or film. I wanted to spotlight some of the great men and women behind wrestling, and also emphasize its cultural impact.”
Good Advice From Professional Wrestling is the second volume in 6623 Press’ Leadership Every Day Series, which finds life-changing lessons in popular culture. Volume 1 is Ferris’ Good Advice From Goodfellas: Positive Life Lessons From The Best Mob Movie. It concludes with a list of ten habits and practices that famous wrestlers use to become successful, which readers can start today.
