a bit outdated

Revisado: 10-29-19

I'm sure the advice is still valuable and can be applied to online media, but overall this book would have been way more valuable 15 years ago.

OK for understanding habit forming

Revisado: 04-01-19

Good for understanding how and why habits form. I had expected more hands on advice on how to change my own habits as well... there is an appendix on this very topic, plus, the newer book (Smarter, Faster something...) I suppose deals with this also.

overall, ok book and storytelling. But, would have like more than just a basic understanding of the tooic.

Great introduction our greatest philosophers!

Revisado: 03-19-19

This was a really good introduction and very comprehensive overview of our greatest thinkers and philosophers of our time. I find this book incredibly valuable, and would recommend it to anyone who knows little about philosophy in general.

That was me. Having always studied economics, business, management etc. I have had very little to do with philosophy, what a fascinating piece of history. To learn where (and how far back) essential questions, thoughts and science comes from is important.

Great read, and I suppose an "easy" way of getting to know the greatest philosophers and their most important works and thoughts, as opposed to reading and dissecting their individual works one by one. Highly recommended this book!

OK book

Revisado: 01-23-19

The book is made up of excerpts of articles, a cross everything important written about or by Buffet. It serves as a great walkthrough of Buffets staggering career and achievements, but, is not a literary wonder... at times, it's certainly missing some depth and personality making it at times a bit daunting to read through.

But, Buffet's achievements are in themselves impressive so it still makes for an ok read.

Great mind teaser, and good introduction to many current research areas and concepts explained in a way that a common person can also relate...

Short but a great teaser

I've come to love Jim Rohn's books and presentations, this is a short presentation on living an exceptional life, listing the key elements of Jim Rohn's philosophy. Do yourself and listen to/read his full advice on the subject too.

May need to re-listen

Revisado: 12-28-18

Finished it, but am not impressed... I also did take a long time to finish it, with too many interruptions to grasp the full sense of the book. it also contains exercises, that, if exercises may prove to make the experience a lot better. so for now, rating it at 3 stars. but I may have to relisten end to end and review again.

Not my cup of tea

Revisado: 12-28-18

couldn't finish it, got through chapter 2 so take my review for what it is. Too much of the same self development stereotypical catchphrases; "stop blaming everyone else, take control, take charge, be honest to yourself ", etc. I'm sure the author is a great coach in person, the audiobook just didn't get to me.

not quite what I expected

Revisado: 03-15-18

it's basically reading through names and addresses of Hotels, bicycle tours, transportation options etc for the major Italian cities.

Almost no context to the "recommended" places mentioned ... other than, "another one of our absolute favorite hotels is... etc etc".

if you are looking for just a list of places one could visit, it's a good book. if you are looking for any sort of context of what Italy has to offer, and what makes the places special or worth visiting, this is not the book to listen to.
