it's a RePEAT / ReRUN of her 2015 "INSIGHT OUT"

Revisado: 12-13-17

Would you say that listening to this book was time well-spent? Why or why not?

BEWARE: This is the 1st REAL REVIEW... this book was released to the public today, Dec 12th. Of course all her friends prior to today gave her book a 5-Stars... shoooot, JUDGE FOR YOURSELVES: Read their basic / cliche'ish reviews.

If you haven’t read her book “Insight Out”... well, then you’ll enjoy it (despite ONLY PRE-2015 Examples, meaning 2014 & OLDER).

If you’re a fan, and already own her other books... including “Insight Out”... well just go back and skim through it (again).

Initially I was only going to give this copy a 2-STAR OVERALL review... because not enough effort was made, nor clarity was given to say THIS IS a RePEAT. This basically has a NEW and IMPROVED COVER SLAPPED on it. Of course the NEW & IMPROVED Title is better... though one can see that the tagline / descriptor stayed the same.

But since I gave her INITIAL COPY of "INSIGHT OUT" a 4-STAR review,... I averaged this one to 3-STARS.

THE Real CHALLENGES with this ReRUN: If you are in a creative field and even a semi-avid reader... the chance of you having already read about the examples she uses in this book, is very high. Even back in 2015, many of her examples were very well known and already been mentioned in many other books, blogs, and magazines (just compare the REFERENCES, they are the same, minus some errors).

Has Creativity Rules turned you off from other books in this genre?

No.. it's not the author's fault that her Publisher decided to RePrint her old book with a new title... all without giving the buyers much of a warning. They didn't even bother calling it a 2nd Edition... though granted, it is not since its just a ReRUN with the same content.

Which scene was your favorite?

Do you think Creativity Rules needs a follow-up book? Why or why not?

Just a one with NEW and RELEVANT examples... post 2014.

Keep in mind that the majority of the Author's examples are are from 2002 to 2013.

Any additional comments?

DECIDE for YOURSELVES... my SUGGESTION... FIRST Buy the KINDLE Edition, NOT THE HARDCOVER nor PAPER BACK... that way, it is easier to return within 7-DAYS if it is not to your satisfaction.

As a Tina Seelig fan, I hope it was the Publisher's idea to do this RE-RUN, and not hers. From what I hear, she is a very good professor at Standford, and this book is already required reading for her students.

A Must for Any Writer.. Especially if You're in...

Revisado: 02-21-17

Would you recommend this audiobook to a friend? If so, why?

If you are a NEWBIE, you will LOVE this Book.

If you are a PRO, you will be VERY GLAD you picked it up too.

From the perspective of a professional copywriter, I rate this a 4-STAR... If i would have read this 12 years ago when I was starting, I would definitely have rated it 5-STARS.

I know writers and those thinking about writing... be it for a Book or Advertising / Marketing / Sales... will all be glad to have picked it up.

Despite Mills' many restatements / references of other industry leader's experiments, just about every chapter concludes with a recap and Very Worthy List of question every writer should ask themselves while they're writing... and after they have written.

This book comes with a very worthy PDF Handout.

If you are not familiar with other industry thought leaders and their work, you will appreciate Mills' references, as they do back up his over all message of how to create persuasive communications.

Lastly, if you are on the fence about this purchase, I suggest you BUY IT !!

If you don't like it then Audible will make the return nice and easy.

Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting?

I really believe you will all ENJOY Harry Mills' Brevity and No-Fluff style of writing... and If you are in a hurry, this is a book that is short and captivating enough to read in one sitting (like I did this morning).

OUTDATED! Only Relevant if You are New to the Web.

Revisado: 05-24-15

What could have made this a 4 or 5-star listening experience for you?

If it was actually Relevant to 2015... this should have only been available until the end of 2013.. or it should have had a warning that this is actually only for people brand new to the internet.

Would you ever listen to anything by the authors again?

Sure.. but i'll be much more careful on reading the reviews, and the timeliness of the information they share.

What does Brian A Morris bring to the story that you wouldn’t experience if you just read the book?

Don't know.. i'd have have to read the book.. but that is NOT going to happen.

You didn’t love this book... but did it have any redeeming qualities?

Relevant if read in 2012... and even then, it was still for those new to the internet.

Any additional comments?

Only by if you haven't logged on to the internet since 2010... or if you are a friend of the writers and don't have time to read the book and prefer to listen to the book on X3 times the speed.

I'm returning the book!

Revisado: 04-09-15

Don't waste your time.

Even though you'll be able to return it,.. It's not worth it.

There are too many great books out there to ever pick this one up.

Don't waste your money or time on this book.

Revisado: 04-07-15

If this is the first book you pick up on the subject and have never read anything else, then you might find it useful.

If you are in any type of sales, and have been for more than 1 year.. Skip this book!


You'll thank me later.

Don't waste your time...

Revisado: 02-17-15

Ok.. But SERIOUSLY.. Please don't waste your time like I did. It's better to take your pick at one of the 3 McKinsey Consulting books on audible .. Or the one from Bain Capital / Consulting.

Timeless. The #1 Tommy Hopkins Course to own!

Revisado: 11-26-14

What did you love best about Becoming a Sales Pro: The Best of Tom Hopkins?

This course may be older than most.. but, after going over just about all of today's sales and marketing courses... this Tommy Hopkins course stands head and shoulders above the other gurus. If you don't know which Tommy course to first get, or you have gotten others that were less than spectacular... give this one a try.

Any additional comments?

Way way to much story to get through in order to get to the 10 points.

Heard of MINDSET? If so, this book is NOT for you!

Revisado: 08-12-14

What would have made Mindset better?

This is for a person who over heard the word MINDSET a conversation or from a lecturer, for the very first time! ... as has no idea what MINDSET is... For everybody else, there are 1,000's of other books to read first.

Has Mindset turned you off from other books in this genre?

Just reminded me that just because there are 1,000 reviews, doesn't mean it's current or relevant.

What three words best describe Marguerite Gavin’s voice?

She is fine.. Especially at 3X the speed.
