Very detailed account of Jimmy Butler's life

Revisado: 04-25-17

I was very pleased with this book. I'm a die-hard Chicago sports fan and enjoy learning more about my favorite players. This book is VERY detailed and chronicles Jimmy's professional progression from High School to the pros with just the right amount of background info to keep the story in proper context.

Outside of a few players names being mispronounced (Paul Gasol comes to mind), the narration was very good and fit well with this sports based audio. Overall a very pleasant and informative experience!

Good book for a young or new family

Revisado: 08-24-16

Overall I enjoyed this listen and I found many of the steps useful and practical. The book is written with a family perspective, so it gives advice on building relationships with your spouse and children. I am currently single, but once I start a family I will definitely apply some of the steps to my family.

I wanted to give this audio 4 stars, but had to give it 3. The narration was very nice and smooth, and I enjoyed the overall flow of the book. I can appreciate the authors faith as I am a faithful person myself, but at one point the audio got a little too religious for my taste. Once I got past those parts I could focus more on the actual steps and on how to better implement them. Overall a good listen.

I enjoyed this book

Revisado: 08-24-16

This is a short, but effective book about simple ways to keep your brain sharp and challenged. It offers a variety of tools you can use in a variety of setting to keep your brain strong. Your brain is like a muscle, so the more constant and varied your "training" can be, the more likely you are to keep it strong and healthy. This audio does a good job providing simple approaches to keep your brain fit, although at times it can be a little repetitive in its message. The narration was pretty good. Nice voice that fits well with the subject matter. Overall a good quick, simple, and informative listen.

Scientific approach to self improvement

Revisado: 08-10-16

This audiobook approaches the subject of self improvement with a good balance of science, psychology, examples, and application techniques. Its very detailed and quite different from many of the self improvement books I've read, and I've read many of the popular ones. The first half of the book goes into pinpointing your specific personality type, while the second half focuses on the process of achievement with your specific personality type in mind.

This is a great approach as it forces you to examine yourself BEFORE getting to the improvement concepts. The only drawback to this is that if you identify your personality type early, or already have a good concept of your type, then you have to sit through the explanations of other types that don't fit you. On the other hand you get insight into how other personalities impact the potential for success. Once you make it through this exercise you get to the meat of the book and it gets interesting. It provides some insights that can be very impactful. The author definitely got into my head and helped me see the keys to my success. The narration was beautifully done and fit the subject matter. It added to the experience.

If you have the option I think the paperback version would allow for the greatest benefit, especially during the first part that requires self analysis. The author mentions a number of resources via the web, as well as references to his sources. This gives you the chance to take some notes which would be tough to do if you're engaged in some other activity while listening.

Overall excellent book for the serious person who wants to evaluate and improve themselves.

Great starting point for self improvement

Revisado: 08-08-16

This audio book has a number of useful methods and techniques for changing the way you think and live, which essentially is what NLP is designed to do. I'm not new to the world of self improvement, but still found a number of the techniques valuable and am working on incorporating many of them. There's a lot of information crammed in this hour and 17 min audio. I think in order to get the full value and application of the methods, you will have to go back and re-listen again and again until you can fully incorporate the techniques you want to master. The narration was very good and fit the subject matter appropriately. Would definitely recommend as great intro material into the NLP, self improvement world.

Good book

Revisado: 07-19-16

To start off I was provided this audiobook at no charge in exchange for an unbiased review via Audiobook Boom. I have read several books in this genre, and was still able to get some very high quality take aways from it. This audio gives good honest insight into stepping your game up as a man, and is appropriate for any man in any stage of his life. The book is direct and straightforward which makes for a quick and easy read which anyone with a busy life (like myself) can appreciate, but there were some areas I felt could have benefited from a little more "meat". I enjoyed the narration and felt it was spot on, and added to the alpha mindset the author is helping to instill and develop. Overall I think this book is a good intro into the 'Alpha Male' line of books.

Changed everything for me

Revisado: 06-29-16

To start off I was provided this audiobook at no charge by the narrator in exchange for an unbiased review via Audiobook Boom. I decided on this book because it was of a subject matter outside of what I normally read. I can honestly say I was not expecting what I got. This is a beautifully written and narrated guide into the side of life that exists after life. This book shed so much light and flat out answered questions I didn't know I had. I never wondered much about what happens after we lose someone we love, but this book showed me that life is so much more than what we see in front of us, and that we are connected with life here, as well as life beyond. The love truly never ends.

I read a lot of self help books and some of the common themes like connecting to a greater source power, life energy, the power of thought and the mind, vibrations, faith, and the power of love were all beautifully tied together in this work. It made sense of things that I thought and felt instinctively, but never really had anything to connect those feelings and thoughts to. There were multiple times I wanted to cry and I'm a man who's not a crier. Its like this was the missing piece of my personal spiritual puzzle.

The lessons from this book will always remain with me, and should be mandatory reading for anyone suffering a loss, or facing ones own mortality. It shows the beauty in life, and death, and that we have nothing to be afraid of. The narrators heartwarming, compassionate voice perfectly conveys the message and content of this book, and added to the experience. This audiobook was a loving experience and I have already ordered copies as gifts to the ones I love.

Wow

Revisado: 03-18-16

This book/audio book can be a life saver. I didnt realize how much of my life I was literally missing out on because of how much I was living in the past. Also realized that a lot of the pain in life is self imposed by our being too caught up in the past, and in the future. Absolutely amazing insights can be garnered from this work.

Almost didn't purchase this book

Revisado: 02-21-16

I read the reviews and almost didnt purchase this audio because I thought it would be repetitive and common sense content. WRONG. This book is absolutely phenomenal for anyone who wants to take their life to another level! Its a 5 star book, I only gave it 4 so people wouldn't think this is a fake review. I thought I was operating at high level until i listened to this. Words can't describe how valuable this book is. 10x is not just working 10 times harder than you currently are (which I erroneously assumed before reading/listening), but its a mindset that can effect every area of your life. You dont know how great you really can be until someone or something shows you with honesty how much more you can do and how much further you can go if you take the appropriate action with the appropriate mindset. This is now my second favorite book behind Think and Grow Rich.
