Did the Ted talk grab you? Buy this first.

As many reviewers have noted, there is some retelling of the same stories here as there are in Brene's longer works. I don't feel like it takes anything away from it and actually like the reminders of what I took away from The Power of Vulnerability (The first one I purchased), versus what extra depth of understanding I have now, three audio books in. I have even shyed away from the books NOT voiced by Brene herself due to negative reviews up to this point, but will be exploring them anyway due to the impact her work has had on me so far. Thank you Brene, for exploring the chronically-avoided dark alleys and how it affects not just the relationships I have with other people, but also the relationships I have with myself and the people that haven't even existed in my life for decades, while still having a negative effect on my present.

For ANY human trying to understand humans

Revisado: 12-23-16

This is by far one of the most important contemporary works that deal with human relationships. Read it. Listen to it. Absorb it. And make good use of it.

Informative, but needs work

Would you recommend this audiobook to a friend? If so, why?

I may offer this to an introverted friend as it does actually come through with some clear tactics. However, the fact that it is yet another less-than-two-hour title annoys me....seems to be the trend these days. Personally, I like the multi-month 20-hour juggernauts. But since Nate's book did, in less than two hours, give me very useful advice, I'll still recommend it.

What do you think your next listen will be?

Dale Carnegie's juggernaut? :-)

What do you think the narrator could have done better?

Use fewer "etcetera"s in the reading.

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

Yes.

Excellent, with caveat:

Revisado: 09-09-11

I continuously listen to audiobooks, primarily non-fiction, audiobooks on my daily 1.5hr commute.
I really can't fault the writer or narrator in any fashion for this book, and frankly it has spurred me to begin redesigning my body, skills, and outlook with the Navy Seals as role models.
If you want to be better than you are, and prefer *reality* over TV/movie fiction, I recommend this book as a tourguide through the training and weeding out process of chosing that path.
Stop complaining about how hard your life is, stop feeling sorry for yourself, and make everyday life easier by a little hard training in your off hours.
I am.

Good job, Dick and Arthur!
