Very good. Will take some time to put together.

Revisado: 12-10-15

This book definitely delivers on what it promises. I was very happy with it and do plan on implementing the strategies into my business. I didn't find the ideas to be counter intuitive though, so I thought it was strange that he described them to be that way.
I actually really enjoyed the first half of the book, where the author explains his story. I'm surprised at this, since with most books I usually get bored and want to skip to the "how to" part. I guess this just goes to show how good of a storyteller he is.

I returned this book

Revisado: 11-30-15

I got through two chapters but it just didn't keep my attention. I was hoping to learn something but came out of it with no more knowledge on Buddhism than I had going in.

It was alright

Revisado: 09-23-15

The book had some really good overall concepts, which I have no doubt work very well when implemented. I definitely agree with all that the author spoke on about organizations needing to use a different method and scrum really does sound like a great option. I will likely bring it up in my own place of work.

My issue is that the entire book (except the one-chapter index at the very end) was basically just the author trying to explain scrum's achievements, which I pretty much already understood by reading the book's description (which is why I bought the book in the first place). He gives example after example of organizations that were using an archaic system for years, didn't want to change until they had no choice, then they implemented scrum and all their problems went away. I definitely believe that what the author says is true, but I feel like the entire book was just these same stories over and over again, like he was trying to convince his readers that scrum really does work, as if we still didn't believe him from the first ten times he told us.

I think it's cool how his son read the audio book, though he did come across as a bit arrogant with a touch of mild sarcasm scattered in from time to time.

Overall, I'm not unhappy that I bought/listened to this book, but I'm not crazy about the fact that 90% of the time I spent on it was pretty much pointless.

Great book!

Revisado: 09-04-15

Definitely delivered on what it claimed. I can't wait to start tidying up! My husband and I listened together on our road trip and we both feel the same.
The only issue we had with the book is that the first twenty minutes were repetitive and pointless, and the last hour or so was mostly pointless. She also puts a great deal of emphasis on how it's important to talk to your possessions, which is just weird and took up a lot of book space near the end.

Overall, I would definitely recommend this book and would have given it a 5 out of 5 if it weren't for the items listed above.

Interesting listen

Revisado: 09-01-15

Good stories with really interesting information in the book itself. I stopped listening halfway through the first podcast though. I wasn't really into it; It was a bit slow and the music was kind of a downer...

Ok..

There were some good teachings, but overall I didn't learn that much from this book. It was kind of dull.
The reader sounded like a robot, which made it a bit difficult to get into what he was saying.

Amazing book

Revisado: 07-23-15

I've listened to this audio book at least five times in the last year and will likely continue to do so for years to come. It really helps put things into perspective in life and motivates you to want to move forward. Just incredible.

Repetitive, like his other books.

Revisado: 06-18-15

Just like his other books, he tends to repeat the same exact points over and over and over again. The book could probably be condensed down into a quarter of its size.

Good info

Revisado: 03-08-15

Short and sweet. A lot of good info but also a lot of common sense pieces.
