AI discussed from a completely Christian point of you

Revisado: 10-10-22

I was hoping for a rational book that discussed AI and its future implications. Instead, I get a book that is completely slanted from a Christian point of view. The number of times the author brings Christianity into the conversation is way too many. Let’s just talk about AI, why does Christianity have to come into the conversation at all?

A must-read for marketers and business owners

Revisado: 10-16-20

Great book! I love the the Inbound Marketing philosophy: the idea that people value personalized, relevant content – not interruptive messages. When I went to purchase the book, the following lines are what caught my attention, "If a company is to survive in this environment they must shift their thinking in a fundamental way. They need to align their mission, strategies, action plans, and tools with the way buyers think, research, and purchase." As a small business mentor for SCORE I council hundreds of small businesses who are largely coming to us asking about their online marketing strategy. They realize they need to do this, but they don't understand how to move forward, why it's important, what exactly are they trying to do, and who to help them once they figure it out. After reading "Inbound Organization" I now have a broader, and more nuanced understanding of how to answer these questions for my clients. Companies like HubSpot and SalesForce are leading the way, but Inbound Marketing isn't a gimmick or fad, it's here to stay, and fortunately so—this is the way we all want to be marketed to! Excellent book, I highly recommend.

Way to much bible preaching

Revisado: 10-09-18

The description needs to be clearer that this is highly a religious, biblical perspective. There is some good advice in here, but so much is under the umbrella of religious doctrine.

If you’ve read one you’ve read them all

Revisado: 11-21-17

For someone new to manifesting and living their best life this book would probably be helpful and enjoyable. Mike is enthusiastic in his approach, likeable and seemingly well-intentioned. But if you’ve been reading similar authors of this genre you are not going to learn anything new here.

Enjoyable overall, but the 'proof' was a bit shaky

Revisado: 08-30-14

I am convinced that we create our reality and was so before reading this book. Pam Grout is an excellent writer, an enjoyable narrator and quite the humorist. The book was enjoyable. The experiments, however, didn't really work well for me. I didn't do all of them, but those I did do had zero or sketchy results. This is all perfectly fine with me. I still believe that we are attracting our reality 100 percent of the time. I do believe, however, that in order to manifest you need to feel consistent positive emotion around that which you are hoping for. Most of the experiments involved things I didn't really give a hoot about one way or another, so that may have affected my ability to pull them in. Also, giving a 48 hour timeline added, to me, an element of pressure for the universe to perform. A little anxiety in wondering if it would manifest in time to "count." So likely I was sabotaging the process a bit in my anxiousness (albeit slight.)

In any case, I still really enjoyed the book. Mostly due to the author's explanations of the concepts, as well as her good humor, but less enthused about the experiments.

Narrator makes a good book bad

Revisado: 04-14-14

I'm going to have to return this one and buy hardcopy. Totally prefer to "read" audibly, but this narrator is painfully annoying to listen to. Every. Single. Line….is said with such overdrawn earnest that it becomes incredibly distracting to absorb what's being said. I gave 5 stars on the story simply because the content that I was eventually able to get through was quite good. I'm projecting that had the narration been better this would have been a terrific book.

what a disappointment

Revisado: 02-20-14

I struggled thru the poor writing hoping for at least a reprieve in the ending. What a disappointment on every front.

Inspirational, quick read

Revisado: 01-05-14

I'm writing this review months after listening. I enjoyed the book at the time, but what has me inspired to come back and write a review is the fact that the general premise of this book has stuck with me so well. I used to routinely tell seemingly innocent lies to grease the wheels of easy social interaction. Small things, not big boldface lies. Morality totally aside, the author contends that everyone would benefit from committing to being truthful. Personally, I now find that I really enjoy the authenticity of owning and saying the truth in even the smallest of circumstances. I don't mean hurting people's feelings or anything like that. There is certainly diplomacy and kindness to consider, too. This book argues for the premise that it's just plain smart, emboldening and genuine to be an honest, straightforward truth-teller.

Good, but possibly outdated

Revisado: 11-23-13

If I had read this book 10 years ago I would likely be giving it a higher rating. Definitely a beneficial book in many ways, but some of the main organizing strategies felt a bit outdated to me. For example, creating file folders of projects and to-dos. Not computer file folders, but actual manilla file folders. Not a bad book, just somewhat old-school.

Completely enjoyable as well as informative

Revisado: 11-23-13

Whether you are a fan of the Stephen King thrillers or not, this non-fictional book about the craft of writing is a must-read for those who have interest in developing, or strengthening their skills as a writer. Much practical advice, yes, but also very entertaining. The narration is quite good as well.
