Still good, but seemed to be missing something.

Revisado: 10-13-24

Didn’t feel connected. Lots of jumps back and forth. Overall still probably worth a listen. But it was a tad disjointed.

Worth a listen, great author.

Other books of his are better in my opinion. But this was still well done and had interesting points. My one issue is that it seemed less geared towards an individual reader, and more focused on hiring groups and businesses.

Intriguing and entertaining

It’s a good book! Won’t go as far as to say, the best I have listened to, but still easily worth the listen.

Surprisingly Good

Revisado: 07-25-23

Someone recommended that I listen to this book. Initially it started out slow, but after the first chapter there are a number of things drawing you in.
Reminiscing and hearing about old Pixar movies you grew up with.
Hearing very creative and interesting managing tips.
Learning about the growth of Steve Jobs, Ed Catmull, others, and Pixar.

It is definitely worth a listen.

Not what I expected

Revisado: 07-11-22

Personal opinion here, so take it or leave it:

Goggins went through hell with his father and upbringing. And hearing his story of losing weight and getting into BUDs, awesome. Amazing. Great job.

I don’t think that he should have been a seal, but that’s my opinion. He seems like he is just insecure and trying to prove something. So I give him TONS of credit for pushing through and bettering his life. The life lessons seem shaky and off putting sometimes. He even speaks about hiding Motrin in the sand and stealing the schedule. I wonder if he would have made it through if he wasn’t high on pain killers….
But maybe that’s normal to pass hell week. Unsure.

I am glad he turned his life around, but I get the feeling that this guy would be someone that people clash with a lot throughout his life. Always trying to prove how badass he is.

A good overall book

Revisado: 03-29-21

I listened to broaden my perspective and that’s what happened. A lot of very good and interesting insights that will make you reconsider what you think you know. I had a lot of “cringe” moments while listening, but I think that’s the point and after thinking about it, I would like to change certain views I have or the ways I act.

On the other side, I do think the writer takes certain beliefs a tad too far and some stuff will be counterproductive towards a better race-united future. I won’t go into detail on what I disagree with.

Overall it was a good learning experience and worth a listen.

Wow!

Revisado: 03-15-21

I was only in middle school when 9/11 occurred. I was unaware, and couldn’t comprehend, the atrocity, chaos and level of damage that this event caused America.

I am so glad to have listened to this book and taken away a new depth of understanding regarding all parts of the attack.

Definitely recommended to everyone. It is a difficult book to get through though. You will fight between a thirst to continue soaking up stories and knowledge, and not wanting to continue because of the horror and intensity people saw and struggled through.
