- You should set yourself realistic goals
- You should be distinctive
- You should form your mind
- You should have character
- You should be an example and a leader
- You should take care of your money
- You should train your body
- You should always be ready
reception
The work received negative reviews in the media . So wrote the time , the Süddeutsche Zeitung , the Musik Express and Laut.de the following words:
"In any case, the instructions from the difficult life lived by with asceticism au gratin banality : Train yourself to be patient, work on your handshake, is self-employed, is not perfect, be creative, make mistakes, you pull something decent to cook learning, try it once with yoga , read a book, don't talk shit, behave, watch out for karma , meditate and keep your hands over the covers. All in all, that's as scary as Scarface on the waste glass container. "
“The boss knows what women want: namely to be led. So be it, even this rather dull cliché of male dominance remains reasonably philanthropic, because a boss doesn't want to force anything on anyone. Ideally, they simply live their completely free life and exercise authority through their independence alone. For Kollegah it is precisely this greatest possible freedom that appears to be the ultimate goal of personality development. Money is a means, but not the main end. Machiavelli is mentioned, Nietzsche is closer associatively. However, there is no interest here in fundamental revaluation of the values. On the contrary, only the fittest survive. And these are not the strongest, but the most adaptable. The 'alpha mindset' is therefore a radical ego program, libertarian thinking with a conservative substructure (men lead, the heteronormative family is paramount ). "
“This is Alpha” is already a bestseller on Amazon for 22 euros, and the reviews indicate satisfied customers. Is everything okay then? Not at all. Because the “alpha mindset” that the rapper wants to teach young people here seems to be in part from another century. One in which men alone have the say. In which egoism and lone warfare have not made people absolute assholes. "
“The problem is not that Kollegah sells advice that you would have received from your grandmother if you had only listened to her for five minutes. The problem is the really disgusting traditional, contemptuous and above all misogyne basic attitude that he delivers with his general statements. "
