Errors Abound

Revisado: 12-20-24

I love the Vikings and some of these stories are great - but I wish the author had asked an editor to proofread the book before publication. Too many obvious errors to count. It almost reads like an AI generated product.

Good but Quite Repetitive

Revisado: 05-30-24

Solid ideas but it read like a series of 70 clipped responses to Chat GPT prompts or someone’s college thesis paper. Each concept was repeated 12 times as if it were new each time. Could make a great 2-page PDF.

Opened my eyes

Revisado: 11-19-23

I had not thought much about the specific ways people of great character develop that strength. The author opened my eyes to what makes up the core of human character and contributes to a life truly well-lived in the cause of something greater than one’s self. The wide array of divergent examples (especially of supposedly “flawed” people) was my most favorite feature of this book.

Thoroughly Enjoyable and Honest

Revisado: 11-06-23

I have to admit that I bought this audiobook by accidentally hitting a button on the Audible app during a run and it was the best mistake I’ve made all year.
The author is not just wicked smart - he’s authentic and frank without being offensive or patronizing. I think the final chapter was the most impactful for me as he tied all of the science together with how critical it is to get our thinking straight in order to realize the true benefits of a longer life.
Loved the book and plan to recommend it to others.

Decent & Flawed Guy - Not a lot new.

Revisado: 10-30-23

I enjoyed the book even if there wasn’t much new to learn.

Just like all of us, Mitt’s neither an angel nor Lucifer. He’s a politician first and foremost and the author demonstrates this fact without openly saying it as he details the “struggles” Mitt experiences by seemingly overthinking every decision.

I miss the good old days when people had rational conversations about this stuff and cared enough to learn from each other.

Recommend the book for those who have only heard about the Romney who’s portrayed over the last 6-8 years.

Best Book on Habits I’ve Seen Yet

Revisado: 10-02-23

I have read/listened to dozens of books that reference habit forming for success. For no good reason I had also resisted the urge to buy this book for years and now regret the wait.
Atomic Habits is the most straightforward, practical and crystallized approach I’ve seen. The author is very easy to follow and he doesn’t waste a lot of time on fluff. I Very Highly recommend this title.

Great quick overview

Simple language and relatively solid yet broad introduction to SCM. Highly recommend for those not directly accountable for SCM work but needing enough background to understand the topic.

Solid Example of Zero Character Leadership

Revisado: 03-09-23

Loved the level of detail and the unapologetic delivery. The Astros made their mark by showing the baseball world that character still matters. Even if they did so by showing what happens you win but utterly lack character. There’s a reason why quietly going along with cheating even taints the « good guys ».

Fantastic storytelling and rich detail

Revisado: 02-27-23

Another gem by a master. I have tried to read or listen to everything written by David McCullough and I have yet to be disappointed. His masterful style and thorough research will be so missed!
