Chilling and thought-provoking

Revisado: 05-04-24

Well worth your time. Two small criticisms: (1) there are several mispronunciations throughout the book — “DYE-SAH” for DISA (pronounced DISS-UH), for example, and (2) at the end of the book the author tries to write from the perspective of 24,000 years from now — which is a goofy mistake that somewhat derails her previously excellent narrative.

Good story teller; gets a bit preachy

Revisado: 12-07-22

This book is an excellent listen when the author is relaying historical events. The author, though, does become a bit preachy, especially in the final chapters.

This is a must-read book!

The failure of American senior leadership during the fall of Afghanistan is effectively outlined, as is the story of men and women who stepped up to do what’s right.

Some good sections, but author has a hard time staying on task

Revisado: 10-13-22

When this book talks about focus, it has good ideas and suggestions. There are several sections throughout the book, though, where the author wanders away from his declared subject and addresses his personal views regarding the environment, financial inequality, and other social issues. The book could have been improved if had stuck to the announced topic at hand.

Starts extremely slow

Revisado: 09-24-21

Skim the first half of the book. Way too many insignificant details are included; some of them redundant.

All the meat is in the second half of the book.

“2034” is a must-read book.

In the fine tradition of Sir John Hackett’s “The Third World War,” 2034 will hopefully serve as a wake-up call to the world, and most directly to political and military leaders in the People’s Republic of China, Russia, Iran, and the United States.

Too much fluff

Revisado: 05-08-19

The third “book” (The Magic Ladder) is the best — concise and direct.

The Law of Success (the first book) is W-A-Y too full of pseudo-science, truly goofy personal philosophies (for example, about vibrating waves of energy), and other off-topic ramblings that take up too much time and detract from the core concepts.

The basic message is excellent, but the unabridged book is filled to the brim with off-topic verbiage.

Timely Advice.

Revisado: 01-17-19

This is excellent advice for any time. Seneca “nails it.” Plus, it’s a quick and easy listen.

Timely, Important, and Thought-Provoking

Revisado: 01-16-19

This book should be required reading/listening for educators and parents. It’s a balanced, reasoned, rational discussion of several disturbing trends on college campuses, especially American colleges and universities.
