A waste of 7 hours of my time

Revisado: 08-11-24

I kept holding out with the hope that there would be some value in the next chapter. I held out until the book ended. I don't know how this book got such high reviews. there is barely any usable insight. The whole premise of burn the boats, which Anthony Robbins has been talking about for years prior to this book, could have been condensed in a blog with plenty of white space to spare.

The author talks about his myriad business failures including how one of his partners separated from the author and then shortly thereafter landed a 75 million deal. I would be far more impressed by actionable insights than his platitudes and self congratulatory anecdotes.

I get it, you didn't come from an ideal childhood. he seems to think that this is some kind of rarity. Most financially successful people did not come from an ideal childhood.

Despite repeatedly sprinkling in his anecdotes about his challenging childhood, it seems like this author was raised with far too much self-confidence.

And his political jabs didn't do him any favors. We all have our uninformed political opinions; save them for when you are asked.

Clearly the work of an overachiever

Revisado: 04-16-23

The amount of work the author put into researching and writing this book is difficult to fully comprehend as it is so monumental.

I live in San Diego and also train MMA like the author. I would rather meet this author more than any other celebrity I can think of.

I urge you to read this book no matter what your preconceptions are.

This is quite literally a life-changing book.

the exact book I needed for this exact time in my life. we are so grateful to have human gems like Bob proctor and the technology to record his teachings.

please forgive the punctuation errors I am driving but wanted to leave a review before other things got in the way

life-changing

Revisado: 07-18-21

I thought it was silly at first and I almost gave up on the book, because I hate it when they do dream sequences.

I also hated the overly verbose descriptions of irrelevant details. but since it was on audiobook, it wasn't hard to continue just a little bit longer. I probably would have given up required me to sit and focus and read. I am so glad I decided to continue. This book is amazingly full of wisdom and needs to be read multiple times.

Not just entertaining, but motivational, encouraging and absolutely fascinating. I have not enjoyed a book this much in several years.

Another gem from a gem of an author

Fantastic book, like almost all of his others. Thomas Sowell is a legend. There will be no replacement for him when be dies.

Best book I've completed in 5 years

Revisado: 09-02-20

Entertaining while offering practical advice. I know where the author's politics sit, but someone who isn't familiar with Trey Gowdy might not even be able to tell.

Meandering and long-winded

Revisado: 05-02-20

the author takes forever to make his points. The relevant content could be condensed into one chapter and it would still be too long

The counterpoint to mainstream media coverage

Revisado: 04-14-19

The author condenses a painstaking amount of research to argue a compelling case for why President Trump is an underrated leader who has been treated unfairly by the media and politicians, even in the GOP, before and during his presidency.

Different from what I was used to and expected

Revisado: 03-17-19

It seemed like most of it was off-the-cuff and unscripted, but if that is the case, there are advantages to that. The discussions were candid and natural and I could see parallels between my life and those of the interviewees'. As such, the advice Mel gave to them was applicable to my situation in many ways.
