Too much focus on using charisma in business

Revisado: 09-25-23

I was disappointed with this audiobook. I managed to listen to the whole thing, but it was difficult at times. The sample (referring to Marilyn Monroe) was misleading, in my opinion. None of the book touched on how she turned on this magical charm, but instead focused a LOT on charisma in a business setting. I'm retired, so listening on and on about her executive coaching was not helpful. I think it could have been better had she included samples of some of the things she talked about--particularly in the sections related to speaking. The most helpful chapter was on body language. That was about it for me. Also, I don't know if it was the editing or her narration, but there weren't pauses where pauses should be--for example, when moving to a new chapter or a new "heading". I don't normally write book/audio reviews, but I felt it necessary to share my thoughts on this book.

Interesting start but difficult to finish

Revisado: 01-23-23

I thought the first part of the book contained interesting information--some things I was already familiar with and other pieces that were new to me. However, after the start, I found the book dragged on, and because I didn't like the narration at all, it really dragged on and on and on and I started feeling like I was listening to similar concepts longer than needed.

Hard to listen to

Revisado: 10-24-22

I could not get into this at all. I tried. I found it boring to listen to and not full of relevant content for my needs. Here's the short story: do slow stretches and yawn about 3 times an hour.

Worth a listen

Revisado: 06-03-22

I enjoyed listening to this book. It does have quite the bible reading/scripture focus, but the narrative is good and meaningful. I'm not a bible expert or even a frequent reader, so doing some of the things he suggests is not going to happen, but I do have a spiritual and christian belief system and can equate his words to my understanding. He is enjoyable to listen to. To me, he sounds incredibly like Richard Thomas a.k.a. John Boy from The Waltons, so I would silently chuckle every time I turned on the book for a listen and would see his image as he spoke.

A very nice listen!

Revisado: 06-03-22

I really enjoyed listening to this book. There isn't anything mind blowing to be learned, but the set up is nice, his stories are very good and quite funny at times, and his narration is excellent. I may listen again as another reviewer recommended. It's included in my membership, so quite the great listen for "free".

Wonderful Listen

Revisado: 07-31-20

I really enjoyed this listen. The end was so heart-warming and you really believe--you want to believe. And the day I finished the audio book, mermaids appeared in two instances in my day. I take that as a sign that sometimes what you don't necessarily see may very well be very real. I do agree with another reviewer that the Irish accent was a little hard to take :)

Enjoyable

Revisado: 06-27-20

Very relaxing and uplifting. Easy to bring a smile to the face and hope for a great day. Only critique was he repeated one section which I don’t think was intended.

Tired of audible books where I have to take notes

Revisado: 10-09-19

I like to listen to books like this while I'm driving, but yet again, I am given a bunch of steps to take that I can't write down while I'm driving . This book refers you to her website, so I'm thinking "great, I can get the steps from her website", only to find that all of her links sell you something. If you buy an audible book, you should be given the kindle version as well. After all, if you buy a kindle version, you can whisper-sync the audio. Why not the other way around?? The performance is obnoxious. She seems to have edited the recording repeatedly, because the volume of her voice and her voice in general changes often. The content, so far, seems ok, but I'm disappointed that I can't easily follow the method. And I totally agree with another reviewer about up-selling constantly in the content of the book. That's not what I paid for.
