WAY BETTER THAN EXPECTED

Revisado: 02-19-23

I am learning so much from this book, from leadership, to history to politics - and I am not even done yet. I am still in Chapter 8. Also, it is written and read in such language and style that I feel an affinity with the author. She is definitely one of few bigger-than-life personalities that I would like to meet in person. I pray I will have the privilege of meeting her one day.

HIGHLY RECOMMENDED. Very American point of view, however, which is understandable given the author's work. If you are anti-American, I can almost hear what you have to say. But if you keep an open mind, there are a lot of diamonds in this "field", open for the taking.

PS. This book gave me that warm feelng I get every time I chance upon a good book.

Listening was a struggle.

I stopped before the end of session 2. I wanted to finish the entire thing because I felt that the topic was interesting, but I got disturbed by the constant "ahhm" and "does that make sense". I realized this was a lecture, and the "ahhm" and "does that make sense" are predominant when she is "free-talking" and trying to be funny. Maybe if she was reading a written material, like a book, the problem would not be there.

Also, this only has 6 sessions, so I expected all intro material to be finished by session 1. Yet, in session 2, I still could not understand where we were going. "Shame is something people do not talk about or want to talk about" was already hammered enough in session1, but it kept coming back in session 2. Worse, I could not see the direction she was taking me. She compared shame with guilt, for instance, but I could not see what the comparison meant. Was it better to feel guilt than shame? Does it mean we should inculcate guilt in kids? It was like a hodge-podge of information without a way for me to organize them in my head.

She mentioned doing a Ted Talk. I did not get to watch it beforehand. If I did, or maybe if I was in her live audience, the experience would have been different. I don't know. I just know that this particular book did not cut it out for me.

If you like the author, I suggest you get a real book of hers, not a recorded lecture or seminar.

Disappointed

Could not finish. Probably better if read by someone like Paul Michael. Also, if you read Team of Teams, you'd find the first few chapters drawn out and unnecessary.

you probably dont need this

Revisado: 07-09-22

if u have been reading a lot of new age books, u probably do not need this. it is over-simplified, which made me wonder if the material i was hearing was from the book or was inserted as a comment. i feel like i wasted money on this. i wish there was a good copy of the original work.

not happy with narrator

Revisado: 07-09-22

i will not buy another book with the same narrator. i am not sure what is wrong. i think it is the intonation.

Not Happy

Revisado: 07-09-22

Struggled to finish. Content was not great. It lacked specific illustrations, and reference to authorities lacked specifics. But I would probably have at least enjoyed it if it had a better reader. Reader had a singsong tone that was the pattern for his reading throughout. I will not get another book by the same reader, regardless of author.
