Be a Dick: How One Person Can Change the World in the Most Unexpected Way
My name is Marc. And I am a Dick. I'm a Dick to all of my friends. And to my family. I'm a Dick to people I know. And to people I don't know. In fact, if we were to bump into each other someday, whether it be online or in real life, I would probably be a Dick to you, too. It's nothing personal. It's just who I am. And who I believe we all should be.
Be a Dick: How One Person Can Change the World in the Most Unexpected Way is the true story of one's journey to live a life that matters and the surprising path it takes along the way. If you don't already consider yourself a Dick, you'll definitely want to be one by the time you finish reading this book!

Must read if you want a better world
This book is timely for the season we are in and for the reflection one should have when navigating people and relationships. After all people are the most important and valuable resource we have. I love the quotes throughout, to the world you are one person, but to one person you are the world (Dr Seuss I think). I pray to continue in my quest to be a Dick. It is within my grasp and should be a goal for everyone who isn’t a dick. But, yes I know there are some of you out there.
Great Read, Great Author
I was hesitant to write this review and give five stars. Not because the author did not deserve it. But because when I see 100% positive reviews it makes me skeptical. But there was no other rating I could give that was honest. I have never met the author. But our paths crossed a few years back by email and phone. You see, I was up against a big challenge. I was trying to secure a domain name that was legally and morally mine. But the domain registrar refused to sign it over because the guy who set up my password used his nickname, not his legal name. My web team, the domain registrar and an expensive intellectual property lawyer worked over a year. No luck. So the author, Marc, swept in wearing his superman cape, thus being a big Dick, and got it done for me in short order. Based on that experience, you can trust what Marc writes is what he truly lives by. This book will uplift you. It is a quick read, a funny and entertaining story, and it WILL inspire you to be a better person. No question.
Relatable! The Title Threw Me, The Words Inspired Me
This is a happy surprise. At first I didn't know what to expect by the title but curiosity got me. I actually found this very relatable, from the authors awkward days to finding out that...I'm often a Dick myself. And that's a good thing! This is an inspiring read that I would recommend to anyone but I would have loved this in high school or college.
A Quick Read, Easy Read, Fun Read, Powerful Read...MUST Read!
Marc Ensign has shared an amazing true story that will entertain you and inspire you at the same time. It's a quick read--you can probably do it in one sitting--but you'll feel completely satisfied when you have finished. It's the perfect length for a perfect story that stays with you long after you've finished it. You'll keep asking yourself, "How can I be a Dick?" And once you've read the book you'll realize that there is no higher compliment than being one.
A must-read reminder that will fuel your generous spirit
The quintessential Mister Rogers' Neighborhood parable for the Internet age. I've been waiting for this book since I first read the blog post multiple years ago. It has been worth the wait to have the full story told this beautifully. In this challenging year, it is wonderful to read a true story about how kindness can change the world. It will make you think about all the Dicks in your life. And it will help you find (or rediscover) the motivation to be more like them.
Quick and Profound
Simple yet profound. I loved how Marc shared some of his vulnerabilities about transition and change through different careers and also through location. Moving on and moving past the past, while drawing many lessons along the way. Cheers to great lessons and a quick read (and representing exit 120 on the GSP)
You will feel inspired!
Buy this book, you will feel inspired!! A well written story the author tells as he recounts his journey through life and what he has learned along the way. The author identifies 12 key principles that he writes about and how staying mindful of these principles will guide you to becoming more true to yourself and a better person for it. The author reminds us that to change the world for the better, it doesn’t have to be some grand act but the small gestures are just as important. With the clever twist on words, I want to be a Dick!!
An Uplifting and Inspiring Read
I read this book slowly so that I could savor every chapter. I found it to be the perfect combination of humor and sweetness. I love the way Marc offers lessons without being preachy. I am grateful that this heartfelt book has finally made it into the world.
Be a Dick
I loved the message of kindness to others that was presented with humor and insightful reflections. Well written and entertaining!
Be True To Yourself And Others
This is like an A, B, C kind of milk read, but not a lot of meat to chew on and digest to get you to the X, Y, and Zs and grow and develop further into a better and super person. Be Authentic. Be true to yourself and be true to others. When you say what you think, your heart and mind are one, and you Know Yourself. Be Present and don't go back on your word.
