I never wanted to stop listening

Revisado: 12-27-19

It’s crazy how pretty much an autobiographical book, can seem like fiction, when your lives are so much different. The life Anthony Kiedis lived is so intense and so dramatic that it’s hard to comprehend, but extremely fascinating. I’ve always been a huge RHCP fan, so hearing the behind the scenes stories were very entertaining. The craziest part is that Anthony started living the “rockstar” life, way before he was a rock star. I love the way the story ends, and knowing that John just came back to RHCP makes it even more exciting. Looking forward to seeing them on more tours and looking forward to the story of the last 10 years.

Not nearly as good as Aztec

Revisado: 12-17-19

I am a big Gary Jennings fan. Aztec and the Journeyer are 2 of my all time favorites. I just felt that this book fell short of getting you to identify with and connect with the characters. Maybe it was the difference, between the reading and listening, or even comparing it with Aztec, but I just didn’t really love this one. I still think that the creative writing was incredible and the way Gary brings images to life is great.

An incredible view of self-awareness

Revisado: 06-25-19

Although this book mentions not giving a f*** quite a few times, it's more about people being self-aware about who they are. it has a very interesting and entertaining perspective of how we view ourselves and how much we care about how others view us. I never wanted to stop listening, because of the honesty and bluntness of the message it was conveying. I really enjoyed out the author used real life experiences and perspectives of other authors as well. this is a book that I will not only recommend to others, but will read again over and over throughout my life.

if I could give it 8 stars, I would

Revisado: 05-31-19

This is one of the greatest books about mindset that I've ever read and may have ever been written. The best part about it, is that it's not someone telling you how you should think or what you should do, but it motivates and inspires through what someone actually went through. I can't tell you how many times, while reading this book, that I did something a little extra that I never would have just because I thought "what would David Goggins do." I love the way that it challenges you, not only to defy the odds, or the naysayers, but to defy science. If you ever want to listen to a book that can change your life or at least give you a new perspective on limitations, this is the one for you.

Jesse Itzler kills it!

Revisado: 04-05-19

Anyone that lives their life the way Jesse does has always impressed me. The kind of people that will never take no for an answer and are going to succeed no matter what. the entire story is entertaining from front to back and the narration is phenomenal and hilarious. I think it's the great story all around considering that "Seal" is now on the cover of every workout magazine known to man even though he never wanted any notoriety. there are too many books that I could read or listen to more than once, but this is one exception for me.

Mitch Albom, once again impresses

Revisado: 02-06-19

The story of Frankie Presto is done so well, that you actually believe he was one of the greatest musicians of our time, even when he never existed. The intertwining of the story with reality, and the musicians we all know, is done incredibly well, and the guest appearances just add to thee believability. I enjoyed this book from the cover to cover and will recommend it to anyone that I get a chance to.
