Lincoln in Private

Revisado: 09-11-21

The Author has selected certain chapters and times of Lincoln’s life, which when examined closely and in detail, provide invaluable insights about Lincoln for any listener. The are accessible and varied; combined they bring forth a deeper understanding of the man, father, husband, lawyer, orator and President. In reality, the person through wise application and development of his abilities, traits and wisdom, often through secondary sources, achieved the Office of President almost as a byproduct of his benign persistence.

The beauty of the audiobook is you meet the humble aspects of this man of the people. You gain more subtle understanding of his character through his approach to the wide variety of challenges he faced both personal and political. Some of the events discussed are rarely considered by most biographies so there are some gems for Lincoln admirers. Importantly, the books purpose is not a complete edification of Lincoln. It has a balanced perspective and an engaging style. I hope you enjoy it.

The audible equivalent of a book you can’t put down.
Gripping story. Well researched. The first book for a long time that I couldn’t wait to continue. Narrator does a great job with the Russian pronunciation as well. Simply enjoyable whilst informative.

For those that do

David Goggins story is refreshingly original. Because he has fought against being average which is something very few people do. However, his point of difference is fighting every day to be better and that makes for one unique story. This audiobook is an absolute privilege to listen to. I’m glad I did.

An excellent book that explains a challenging history in simple terms for the listener. There is also a lot of detail for the serious history buff. A great work!

Fast information you can you use now

Would you listen to Getting Organized in the Google Era again? Why?

Yes. The way the material is organised means you can skip to different areas of the book and still pick up useful concepts

What was one of the most memorable moments of Getting Organized in the Google Era?

That he was able to overcome dyslexia and teach himself practical methods for being organised and dealing with massive amounts of information.

Which character – as performed by Douglas Merrill – was your favorite?

The beauty is he is reading his own story and he is the character. A very likeable gentleman who likes having a bit of fun in his life rather than the stereotypical business person. He has an innovative way of using song titles whilst introducing new chapters.

What’s an idea from the book that you will remember?

Emailing important information to yourself. So the information is recorded electronically which takes it out of your head and it is then searchable.

Any additional comments?

Overall, a solid audiobook with useful information for readers - not boring. Sounds like an interesting guy and a great self achievement story in itself without the added bonus of practical time management in a technological world. Really enjoyed it and got a lot out of it which I am using practically today.
