Mob Boss to Authoritarian

Revisado: 09-16-20

The mob was brought down from the inside thanks to a combination of brave souls willing to risk their own lives and cowards cornered like rats trying to save themselves. This book lays testament to Michael Cohen being the latter of the two in what will be the eventual downfall of the Trump crime syndicate.

For those who love the USA, let’s hope our country doesn’t become entwined in that downfall. 4 more years of a Trump presidency may see that come to be. Donald J Trump unshackled and surrounded by loyalists and henchmen loyal to him and not the constitution should scare us all. Without law and order our society and the world descends further into chaos. Michael Cohen with his inside knowledge and history of the Trump family written in these pages should serve as our canary in the coal mine.

Genius

Honestly, in real life from what I've seen and read about Sally Hogshead, I tend to picture her as a strong-willed egomaniac. Please don't let that stop you from reading the book though. If you don't hang on every page as she reads it to you, then you're not listening!

I just can't continue

Revisado: 01-20-11

I've listened to some great audio books thanks to the wonderful service that Audible offers. I was hoping that this audiobook would continue that string of quality "reads". Unfortunately, it hasn't. When you are 2 chapters into a book and the content is still speaking to and selling you (IN ACTUAL TEXT) on the value the book will provide, you start to wonder if it ever will.

I'm going to try to continue listening to the book because it would be a shame to give up on it after just over 90 minutes. However, so far, it has been nothing but a sales pitch for the value to be rendered "later" and business generalities that provide very little in specific actionable recommendations. If my evaluation of the audiobook were to change, I will back to revise this review. If it doesn't, you'll know from my silence.

Are you communicating or just talking?

Revisado: 11-08-10

Have you ever wondered why our language has so many words that say approximately the same thing? Well, Mr. Maslansky doesn't dive into the history of language but he does something more valuable! He talks about why many of us are failing to communicate today. We're failing not because we don't use good grammar or sentence structure. We're failing for two reasons: (1) we aren't overcoming today's barriers to communication BEFORE we try to communicate and (2) we aren't using the RIGHT words or communicating the RIGHT message in the RIGHT way.

I've been building a technology business these last few years talking a lot about what Mr. Maslansky laid out in his book. We have more communication channels than ever before but in many ways it has hindered our ability and sometimes even our desire to communicate. Marketers haven't helped!

The point is...if you think the words you use, how you present them, and what you say doesn't really matter then don't read his book. On the other hand, if you realize like me that communication is not just what you say but how you say it then get this book. It's worth the time!
