A Guide is a book every man—of every age, race, and background—needs to read. It’s a vault of masculine knowledge, wisdom, and timeless encouragement. The value locked within its pages is so rare it should be guarded and handed down: from father to son, uncle to nephew, brother to brother, sister to brother, and friend to friend. It’s a resource every single mother should place in her son's hands.
Written with precision, A Guide is designed for men who are determined to rise—men who refuse mediocrity and demand excellence from themselves. With each page turned, the reader sharpens and grows.
A Guide delivers practical, no-nonsense strategies for mastering every arena of life: From setting bold goals and building real wealth, to commanding a room, creating a powerful personal brand, and navigating relationships with strength and clarity.
Inside, you'll find guidance on launching successful ventures, refining your appearance, mastering the art of conversation, enforcing proper table etiquette, maintaining peak physical health, and understanding the deeper dynamics between men and women.
It’s not just advice—it’s a blueprint for becoming the complete, high-caliber man.
With its direct, battle-tested strategies, A Guide will push you to level up, claim your ground, and live the life you were destined for.
"A Guide" is a collection of letters I wrote to my son during a period of six to eight months when the world seemed to collapse around me. Facing the possibility that I might not survive, I felt an urgent need to leave behind the lessons a father must pass to his son.
Over those long, uncertain months, I poured my thoughts onto the page—hoping that, when his own storms arrived, he would face them with wisdom, strength, and understanding. And if nothing else, he would know this: My final thoughts were of him.

Edmond J. Dantes, Director of High Caliber Man Global, is a man who wears many hats—including entrepreneur, mentor, public speaker, music producer, designer, and now author of A Guide: Income, Placement, Behavior, and Time, a book crafted for men of all ages seeking to improve and elevate their lives.
With over 20 years of business experience, and a thorough study of the skills and knowledge of many successful men from around the world, Dantes has built an educational platform for men who are serious about bettering themselves and enhancing their lifestyles.
Having made this journey himself, Edmond J. Dantes wrote A Guide as a series of lessons for his son—to effectively prepare him for his own path to wealth and success. This work ultimately led to the creation of The Decada, his 10-step program for personal advancement, which Dantes is both determined and honored to share with the world.
There are far too many young men entangled in the criminal justice system. My goal is to inspire them to create brighter futures for themselves—and, in doing so, become High-Caliber Men.
Before you can build, you must first have a blueprint—a plan—and then pour the foundation. A Guide is that blueprint, the foundation, and the building schedule. You simply have to follow the formula: Income + Placement + Behavior + Time.
For every book purchased, I will donate a copy of A Guide. Together, we can do our part in changing lives—and in doing so, change the world. – Edmond J. Dantes

"A GUIDE" is informative. Something I would've hoped to have in my earlier years. No one teaches us these things, you either learn the hard way or have "A Guide", someone who cares enough to help you succeed in life and this book does just that."
words by Mr. Zurisadia Ramos
"When I purchased "A Guide", I was told to read the pages with an open mind and not to immediately correlate myself with the type of women that are described in some parts. I did just that and yet still found these "interesting features" quite challenging. No one wants to hear their sex being portrayed with such negativity. However, how else are we to learn? How else are we to observe and furthermore distinguish ourselves apart from such characters? How are we to do better?"
"That is what "A Guide" does. It very clearly, blatantly, and without remorse calls us to look at ourselves, our peers, our partners and ask the questions many are afraid to hear. Who are you? What have you done? Who will you be?"
"A Guide" will be of great service to anyone prepared to do the work, correct their flaws, and rebuild. But to anyone too hesitant to accept such influence, criticism, and truth, you might not be as high-caliber as you think you are." words by Ms. Ashlyn Johnson
"I found the book to be informative, a teaching tool for men of all ages. A guide to unlocking men's full potential." Also this book was a source of argument between my wife and I… she threw away my copy. Make sure you hide yours…!!! Keep it safe. words by
Mr. Vector Vargas
"A GUIDE"
"Where do I start? This book was an excellent and inspiring read! This book motivated me to become a better FATHER AND PROVIDER! Seeing his point of view of things and dedicating this book to his son inspired me to be the best man I can be for my son! The biggest message I got from this is that we all have 24 hours! And if you want to be successful they're many ways to achieve the GOAL! YOU JUST GOTTA WORK FOR IT! I'm looking forward to seeing What Mr. Dantes has in store for the future."
words by Mr. Frank Marquez
"A GUIDE, provides clarity to a son; from a very unique perspective on life from a father. Step by step, "A Guide" helps you understand what it is to be a High-Caliber Man and earning your keep in society. There are many important lessons that are taught that can attribute to more success, wisdom, wealth, and power. It's up to you what you do with it. Take control of your life and be the man you want to become or be the man they want you to be. Your choice."
words by Mr. Kevin Pyles
"I was given a copy of "A Guide: Income, Placement, Behavior, and Time." by the author Mr. Edmond J. Dantes at a time in my life that was lacking direction and confidence. Later that day when I got back to my home I opened up "A Guide" for the first time and began to read. "This book is fascinating." I said to myself, "Damn! I wish I had a father that wrote me letters like this when I was growing up." From the very start I felt as if I couldn't put the book down; I kept reading and reading and reading; I could tell this book was special, unique, and even more importantly; this book was the precise information that I had been searching for in my life for many years. I read the book twice after that day and reference it at least 2-3 times every week since that time, sometimes I even open it up daily! And now just to be prepared, I keep it in my briefcase; so that everywhere I go "A Guide" goes with me. If you truly desire to be a better man; read this book. There is nothing more powerful than an easy to read guide that will equip you with the necessary knowledge needed to wield the highest caliber G.U.N known to humanity: God, Universe, and Nature."
words by Mr. Joesph R. Grinestaff
"A Guide" is one of those books I carry around to reread randomly. I wish I read a book like this as a young man in my teens because I likely would've been light years ahead of my peers. Even while reading this book for the first time in my late twenties, it gave me a realistic understanding about different types of women. This book shares gems on how a boy should approach life if he wants to end it as a successful man. Although some gems I've learned already in my 20s from men that share similar values as J. Dantes, there was no book like this available that explained them in detail. This book is like a cheat sheet to the game of life. If you are a man and don't have the knowledge and don't apply the knowledge that J. Dantes gives in this book, you are likely lost and probably getting played now. If you want play the game of life instead of the game playing you then you need to get this book. It's a quick read but packed with gems. This book will give you the naked truth about life, health, women, and business. Thank you Mr. E.J. Dantes so much for being selfless by sharing your experiences and intellect to help improve and change the lives of our young men and their futures! Especially for the young men that are at high risk of getting caught up in the modern-day slavery system." (the penitentiary) words by
