Good story, performed fantastically

I’ve never read a Stephen King book I didn’t like, so that says it all. I am, however, a little concerned about the lack of the usual dates at the end…. 🧐 later?

The Dead Drink First

Revisado: 08-10-19

Much more than I expected, including recordings of interviews, detailed audio enhancements and a captivating story. Really enjoyed.

Captivating!

I have always appreciated John Grisham’s work, and Michael Beck narrates the books beautifully. I’m not sure how he catapults that southern Miss. accent into so many different voices, but you always know which character is speaking and the voice always fits! The only bad thing about Grisham‘s books and Beck’s performance is that the books end! :)

Truly inspiring and applicable. MUST buy it HERE.

I have to admit something here. I bought this audiobook via another seller and their app because I got a free sample (which of course then turns into a subscription, which I've already cancelled.) DON'T DO THAT. It's not worth saving the 75 cents. You absolutely need the Audible app for this one (and in my opinion, with ALL books from which you may want to take notes - even safely while driving. The Audible app, especially with the "drive mode," simply cannnnnnottttt be beat. (Look for the little car icon!) So.... I just bought the book again - this time via Audible - because I want to go back and listen again and mark and dictate my notes in the many areas that had me agreeing out loud with Mr. Ury while I was driving because his comments were so spot on.

Ok, that heartfelt and sincere plug complete, I am here to tell you that this book is hands-down fantastic. I was honestly a little worried when, at the beginning for about half a minute, the author says he wrote this one after realizing he had kind of missed something in his first books. Then I took on 30 seconds of patience for a change and man, this book has more tips and ideas and reasons and explanations than I would have ever expected, and they all make sense on a personal level. He goes well beyond just saying 'no.' He also boosts your confidence in WHY it is perfectly ok and even your duty to say no at times. The foundational message is that saying no is basically saying yes instead to value or decision or goal that you hold higher. In other words, while he is quite effectively discussing how to say no (in detail, and trust me, you will find situations in the book that will make you think he's talking directly to you) thereby preventing you from wasting your time - nay, your life - on things that don't support your passions, your morals, your goals, he also affirms your own personal YES.

Just get the book. Definitely via Audible. I could have just said that in the first place, huh! ;)

Great read!!!!

Revisado: 05-22-18

A lot of books of this nature can be a bit though, but this one is red and explained using detailed stories, which are very interesting and which also really make you think about the possibilities for creating and or changing habits in our daily lives. It makes you realize that almost everything we do all day long originates in habit, and that we need to be very careful about what we do repetitively. The good news however is that it absolutely is possible to override bad habits. Eye opening!!

Inspiring book!

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

I'd really recommend it to anyone who is an Executive Assistant, as I am. It is an inspiration to listen to how dedicated Peggy was to President Reagan and to doing her job well, and it's a good reminder of how much of an effect we can really have on those whom we support.

Loved book and series, & didn't even read in order

Revisado: 08-18-16

Stand-alone or as a series, this is a great book and trilogy. It's all kind of a mix of a forensic "who-dunnit" and a psychological thriller mixed with an exploration of the capabilities of the mind.... King had me at hello with these!

Great, even if read out of order!

My only wish is that it was longer... I hate getting to the end of my King books! :). But that just means I can start another, and I still have the middle book to read. This is a great continuation of the Brady story, without feeling at all like it's the third in (so far) a trilogy. It's fantastic as a stand-alone as well. Of course, it's always fun to identify in King's books where he is referencing another.... Excellent as an audio book, and the performance and voices clearly identify and fit the characters. Never disappointed!!

Very interesting!

Seemed a teeny bit more on the trivia or fun-facts side than some of
The others, but still very interesting.... I love all matters mental! :)

You need this.

Would you consider the audio edition of Customs of the World: Using Cultural Intelligence to Adapt, Wherever You Are to be better than the print version?

Prof. Livermore captured my attention just by his speaking ability; he kept it with the content of this book.

Who was your favorite character and why?

NA

Have you listened to any of Professor David Livermore’s other performances before? How does this one compare?

No, but I sure would again!

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

Definitely.... I only stopped because I got to work!

Any additional comments?

I would encourage anyone who lives with, works with, or travels with people (all people!) to listen to this; I don't think there is one of us out there who could not benefit from some of the fascinating points that are made in this book, and I will no longer assume that I know why someone is behaving the way they are. If you manage cross-cultural employees, this should be in your active playlist for sure...
