Loved it! Such a fun read

Revisado: 07-08-21

If you loved The Martian you will enjoy this book- I will say that it definitely veers even farther into sci fi than the Martian did but if you enjoy sci-fi like me it’s a great read. I also love Ray Porter as a narrator and as usual he did a great job here.

Fun read will get you motivated

Revisado: 05-11-21

I liked this book I thought it had some great tips though I don’t agree with his philosophy that we don’t need that much sleep- I definitely do. However, I thought his ideas were practical and implementable which I always appreciate in self-help. I started doing the early mornings a couple weeks ago and there have been some hiccups and I haven’t woken up every day “like it’s Christmas morning” but I’ve definitely seen positive changes in reaching my personal goals outside of work since I’m not saving the stuff I do for myself until the evening when I’m tired. Quick read and well read on audible; would recommend

Yikes

Revisado: 04-27-21

I didn’t check goodreads before I got this and it had great audible reviews- I usually like somewhat shallow but generally positive and motivational self-help but this is on another level. I was hoping for more understanding on how to practically set up a good morning routine and this book absolutely doesn’t get to the point OR provide examples or steps. It’s just platitudes in an extremely strange semi-fictional framing.

Compassionate, well-constructed biography of Jean Nidetch combined with authors own memoir

Revisado: 10-03-20

Really enjoyed this book- it was very thoughtful and deconstructed past and present diet culture accurately but with compassion. What do you give up for dieting? What do you deny when you stop? Super interesting narrative and I really liked it.

Good refresher on basics

Revisado: 04-27-19

The idea of marginal accretions and strategies for creating cues to foster good habits are good ones, if not revolutionary. I found myself wondering if the author felt readers should pick a single habit to focus on at first or could they start multiple? I always struggle with how to prioritize habit changes since I think many of us would like to be more productive in multiple areas of our lives! Definitely worthwhile, content is very similar to other habit and productivity focused books so if you find that motivational (I do) it may be helpful! The book is read well and I noticed some other reviewers complaining about how often the website is mentioned, but I didn’t find it to be too frequent or annoying at all (plus the resources he lists really are on the website).

Must listen

Absolutely essential listening for anyone who has been immersed in food or nutrition culture - tells a captivating story while digging in to the wellness industry and the forces behind it

Really enjoyable!

Revisado: 07-27-17

Definitely recommend this book and laughed out loud a number of times. Particularly liked the parts where she spoke about diet and dieting culture in LA- very funny. A couple slow points (back and forth fictional emails between her imagined 25 year old self who is a teacher- an interesting concept but maybe worked better on paper than read out loud, and what seemed like her entire speech to Harvard Law School) but overall good. I love inspirational stories and I think Mindy does a good job of explaining her back story and tells hilarious stories about her celebrity experiences, etc. definitely a solid summer read!

This has to be my favorite zombie novel yet!

Revisado: 10-05-16

The unique take on the typical zombie tale is well done, well written, and well read by the narrator. It was a really fast listen I couldn't wait to find out what happened. The end was well worth the fast paced story. Definitely recommend!

Claire Danes = excellent narration! The story is fascinating and even though it jumps through time it is not too hard to follow! Definitely enjoyed greatly and highly recommend.
