Courage Comes Alive with 10 Great Guests

Revisado: 03-04-21

Sure, I'm biased, but after a full year of finding the perfect person to end each chapter, separating the absolute best 10-12 minutes from sometimes an hour long interview, and putting it into a world class production - this audiobook rocks!

The narrator:
I first met Lou at a conference in Martha's Vineyard and thought he had a great voice, and a very curious and courageous nature. He was the perfect choice to read this book. The sidebars were things that taught me a ton throughout life or things that I didn't know that I found really interesting, so I was excited to share those - plus another voice broke things up a bit.

The guests:
A reclusive billionaire, a major league baseball CEO, the first woman F-18 instructor pilot, the most brilliant mind in AI and brain imaging, the smartest neuroscientists at MIT, Amelia Earhart (really the one who made it all the way around), Silicon Valley's top CEO coach, an Emmy Award winning actor, the Head Psychologist at the Olympic Training Center for 15 years - the celebrities are amazing and they share their own stories in a very authentic way,.

The book:
#5 on the Wall Street Journal Best Seller list. 36 of the world's top neuroscientists and psychologist, all in plain English with practical steps to reprogram your life for courage and to deal well with uncertainty.

Turning adversity to advantage:
There are so many people who sent emails and messages about how the science in this book has helped them reprogram their mind and really change their lives for good - from getting on an airplane to starting a new business. Knowing how your brain works means you can willfully create the life you want. Give it a listen ,I know you'll learn much that you can use right now.

Ultimate love story

Revisado: 03-02-21

Philosophically challenging but emotionally piercing in such a beautiful love story. The audible version is even better than the bool where Snow turns to Snout.

Childhood classic - just as good at 50

Revisado: 03-01-21

This was one of my favorite books that I probably read at 10 years old. I picked up this copy just for fun during the lockdown, and thoroughly enjoyed the courageous story of the young boy and his wonderful duo.

I liked the premise and the plot developed well but the ending was well and felt rushed.

Delightful pros

Revisado: 12-24-19

The secret to the success of this book is Westover‘s ability to describe an incredibly fucked up childhood with elegant and moving words.

Doesn't work as an Audio Book

Revisado: 05-03-19

This shouldn't have been published as an audio book, the entire text is slanted toward diagrams and illustrations. It's an interesting subject and work, it can only be presented in visual format however.

Love the New York accent

Revisado: 11-05-17

Great read of something that has decent probability of a real-world scenario. The main character is well developed, although a bit stereotypical, but plays well. It's a fun book and an easy one to get hooked on.

Let me decided if it works, stop telling me

Revisado: 11-05-17

I could only listen to the first few chapters. The idea is great and a helpful tool, but it got so tiring hearing "When I spoke at XX conference Julie came up to me afterwards and told me how it changed her life..."
Give us the tools, tell us how to use them and let us decide if it works. I like the premise, it was cool hearing her story but all the no-name life changing events that she inserted every 30 seconds kept me from listening to the entire book.

A smooth shot of heartwarming story

Revisado: 03-08-17

Great tradition of the Irish culture and literature and great plot. A story has just one master, and it's Frank Delaney
