Synopsis
Dear Reader, (This edition includes what were originally the separately sold 1, 2, & 3 books in the series, which have now been combined to compose Book 1.)I wrote the kind of book I like to read that is fast moving with short chapters and lots of dialogue. Most importantly, you will identify character types you have met along your way and possibly a little bit of yourself in what some of the characters think, say, and do.That's the point of the book - to engage you with a compelling story that offers valuable takeaways while it entertains you. It reveals collisions that take place between people who put their own self-interests above everything else.Curiously, we sometimes learn more through fiction than we can through non-fiction. If you are in business, have a career, or deal with people, I believe this book will add to your "street smarts." Viewpoints on Birch Bentley and "Lies That Glitter" can be polarizing because some may see the content as glamorizing certain behavior.Birch Bentley is not meant to be a hero, nor is he intended to be an antihero. He is like everyone else we meet in life with some great qualities, but still with his list of faults, which are numerous. The story is told through his eyes but all the characters have their own points to make about life.With that said, you have enough ordinary in your life. Now step into Birch Bentley's world. Birch Bentley is age 36 and is the #3 man in a large multi-billion dollar insurance company located in NYC.He struggles to unseat two greedy insiders in an attempt to become President of the insurance company only to see a new, more powerful and cunning antagonist enter the picture. He's handsome, and smart enough to see right through the lies of everyone around him, but he's blind to the lies that he tells, including the lies he tells to himself.If you are a person who thinks a lot about your goals and career, you will be pulled in by the harsh realities, messages, and truths that can be learned from Birch Bentley's story.The characters expose something we should understand about our own behavior and those who we know and interact with. When we begin to discern that the face people show us is a mask; that what people are saying is not necessarily what they're thinking, we are finally prepared to deal with life as it is.The Birch Bentley series draw you into the veracity of our lives, revealing the lesson of human destruction that can result from the obsessive chase for sex, wealth, and power. The insights unmask the unspoken realities about the corporate and social culture in which we live. There is a school of thought that says that readers should be left to discover certain things themselves. I agree with that but I also believe a book can become more engaging once you realize that the author has purposely let everyone inside to see past the veneer. When you can see through much of what the characters say and do, which is intended, you are able to better appreciate the irony, satire, and parody. The reader is "in on it."Not that the "Lies That Glitter" characters aren't smart, interesting, deep, loaded with talent, have vision and leadership qualities - they are and they do. Not that the dialogue isn't fast, funny, entertaining, and snappy - I believe it is.But the cast of characters all proclaim altruism while lying, deceiving, and in the end acting in their own best interest. In real life, almost always, expediency and self-interest rule the day. Understanding how brilliant people brilliantly conceal is compelling reading and also a lesson it pays to stay mindful of. It makes you more street-wise and better prepares you for the complexities of modern day society.I believe by the end of the book you will be rooting for Birch to succeed despite his not being perfect.Best wishes,Walt Bernard, Dear Reader, (This edition includes what were originally the separately sold 1, 2, & 3 books in the series, which have now been combined to compose Book 1.)

Now step into Birch Bentley's world. Birch Bentley is age 36 and is the #3 man in a large multi-billion dollar insurance company located in NYC. He struggles to unseat two greedy insiders in an attempt to become President of the insurance company only to see a new, more powerful and cunning antagonist enter the picture.

The insights unmask the unspoken realities about the corporate and social culture in which we live. I recently heard someone say that one of his most enjoyable moments is when he finishes a book, puts it down, and says "wow." You'll be the judge if the book has "wowed" you; but that was my ambition. Martha Carr, author of "The List" has written: "books have their own power to transform. A book will take you on an adventure whenever you're ready." Enjoy the adventure. Sol Stein set up my goal for this book with his statement that: "a book should produce an experience superior to what we have in everyday life." Relish the experience. I believe a book should draw you into a story that causes you to feel and think. If it can also be fun and entertaining you've hit a grand slam. I've tried hard to give readers that journey. I've written the kind of book I would like to read, however, you are the ultimate judge of how I've done. I look forward to your feedback at walt@waltbernard.com. As Napoleon Hill wrote; "it is always your next move." Best wishes, Walt Bernard Notes: There's a question of how much erotica, if any, should be included in a book. Great care has been applied to balance the sex; in as tasteful way as possible, with the same weight and manner the character would give it; and the reality of our society - no more, no less. For those of you who want to make a judgment ahead of time, you may consider if this book were a movie it would be rated "PG." You may be interested in the back story of all the quotes attributed to Birch Bentley - the "Bentleyisms." They are either made up by the author, or adaptations of common phrases and thoughts, designed to enhance a particular segment from the story. Settings from the books include exotic locations like: NYC, The Hamptons, Monaco, Santa Fe, Paris, Shanghai, Hawaii, and Boca del Toro, Panama.
