Surprisingly Excellent Value Investing Read

Revisado: 02-27-19

I hadn't really heard of this book, and didn't know what to expect. However, after reading, I'd say it's pretty close to The Intelligent Investor in regards to education on value investing. A truly great book! Highly recommended.

A deep dive into understanding people

Revisado: 03-04-18

What did you like best about this story?

he Undercover Edge was a pleasant surprise in many ways. I watched Derrick dominate Big Brother, and seemingly effortlessly control and navigate the house towards his end goal of winning. What I didn't know while watching was how deeply Derrick was using his background as an undercover policeman and deep understanding of people and their wiring as tools to aid in his domination of the house.

The Undercover Edge dives deeply into Derrick's background, and how he's used his undercover edge to better understand people. The book gives tips and advice for a deeper perspective into what is going on around you, noticing people and their expressions in a deeper fashion to better understand communication, and to take Derrick's background and training and use it in your everyday life, business, relationships, etc.

I didn't know if the book would be a reflection on Derrick's Big Brother win and early career. I was pleasantly surprised to find out that the book was much more than that. It was a deep dive into psychology and better understanding people. I'd highly recommend this book for anyone interested in better interacting with people around them, including from a business and personal perspective.

Derrick was amazing in the Big Brother house, and he's an equally amazing author! Great read.

Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting?

Yes! Read it twice back-to-back

Audio Quality Horrific

Revisado: 05-03-16

What disappointed you about Moats?

Overall, the book was just OK. Quite repetitive, and once you heard about 2-3 companies, everything was the same.

Biggest complaint though was the audio quality. It sounded like it was recorded in some guy's basement. COUNTLESS mispronunciations, and grammatical mistakes. The guy messed up so many times, it made it nearly impossible to listen. There were major errors and gaps in the audio where the reader made a mistake, but no one ever edited it out. By far the lowest quality audio I have ever heard on Audible.

This is a Biography, NOT a Golf Book

Revisado: 04-13-16

What was most disappointing about Scott Gummer’s story?

I should've read the title of the book and the reviews more closely, do not make the same mistake I did. This book is actually a biography of Homer Kelly, and his book the Golfing Machine. There is LITTLE TO NO MENTION OF A GOLF SWING, or golf coaching otherwise.

I had heard that this book was about perfecting a golf swing, etc., so I was interested to read to become educated on Kelly's philosophy on the golf swing. However, I didn't realize that this is not actually the book The Golfing Machine. This is a book ABOUT Homer Kelly, and his book. This book is in no way educational on a golf swing, or otherwise. In fact, you have to read 7 chapters of the book before it even mentions Kelly's philosophy on the actual golf swing.

Don't make the mistake I did. If you are looking for Homer Kelly's book on the golf swing, then get that book. This is Scott Grummer's BIOGRAPHY of Homer Kelly and his book.

Complete disappointment, and a waste of 7+ hours of my life. Don't buy this book unless you are looking for the biography of Homer Kelly.

I believe the title of the book is intentionally misleading to get you to purchase the book thinking you are buying Kelly's book... but you most certainly are NOT.
