I was always taught in school he was a murderer, but this book gives a much more nuanced look at the forces at play. I also noticed some familiar traits in behavior and feel I can learn from this and not make the same type of mistakes he did in the way he handled authority, orders, or how he shunned credit and continued to struggle his whole life instead of realizing his potential and leading more.

Good primer for “Making Money is Killing Your Business”

I would read this first and that next.

I got recommended this book by somebody who obviously doesn’t read many books. It’s a good motivation piece, but nothing groundbreaking. I could sum it by saying, “Hey, isn’t the 80 - 20 rule neat? What if I applied the 80-20 rule to the 20% that’s left over? Sounds smart doesn’t it?”

IDK, not impressed.

Do not listen to a word of this book and take it to heart if you will not do ALL of the things. I used this as an excuse to quit my stable job and go out on my own, I hired and scaled way too rapidly but I never put any systems or processes into place because that didn’t interest me.

This is not a buffet, it’s a recipe for disaster if you pick and choose which things you will do.

Now that I’ve been chewed up and spit out I’m rereading the book that started it all and my eyes are wide open to my blind spots. Now I know why it’s so important to be all about processes. I just thought I could hire talented people and have them document the processes but they procrastinated and avoided it because having expertise was their job security.

If you’re going base your business on this book make sure to review all of the materials and re-read it frequently. Otherwise you will just do the parts that are interesting to you and have a dysfunctional business.

I’m glad I came back to this book before giving up on my dream. I can turn it around if I actually put it all into practice.

As the title says, it’s good. I find that Malcolm tends to infer into the data what he wants to see, but to a lesser extent than some books such as freakanomics.

I really like outliers as well, but again sometimes I think his conclusions are a stretch.

I recommend reading all of his books regardless of if you agree or like him. In fact, if you strongly disagree you should read it twice because he is right more than he is wrong, and if you disagree with everything he says perhaps you could stand to open your mind a bit.

He is different than most, stubborn, but in a likeable way.

I’m just not a competitive person so it’s hard to wrap my brain around somebody so driven. The contents of this book were more motivational than procedural. I gave it 5 stars because it was a great story, it was well written if not a bit drawn out at times, but they did a good job of highlighting “proof anybody is capable” type stories to eliminate excuses.

Having read it, and owning it I can’t see giving the book a whole read through again. When you know the story you know it, so I would just grab your favorite story here or there or perhaps just re-do the final chapter because it’s incredibly motivating and it ties the entire story together into a well written motivational speech.

I can see all my competitive friends, and especially the top athletes I know getting fired up about this book. I respect David Goggins and recognize he is an amazing person, but I think I can like him and enjoy his story without being an active fan.

Anybody should read this book once because he’s a cool person with a great story. If you become a fan re-read it often.

It is not uncommon for engineers and developers to believe in God and that he designed everything.

I am a very religious person yet I have a sensitivity for public discussion of God because as a leader in my community I am sensitive to the beliefs of atheists and other non-christian religions.

For a minute my hackles were raised that this book about programming your mind had quite a bit of discussion of God and him/her being a designer. I felt that perhaps the atheists or even more fundamental christian’s would be bothered by it.

I think he does a responsible job of navigating this and I honestly don’t know how he could have written this book without including his own views on God and the afterlife.

I like re-reading and re-listening to books and I would say that the first half of this book is a good one to visit often for a little mindset pick me up and the last half is more about resolution of the story line and how integrate what you learned in the first half.

Most of the big courses on digital ads seem like they are taken from this book published 100 years ago.

I was in the last few chapters when I realized this was a work of fiction. I can’t help but think these characters were an amalgamation of various real people he had met.

The characters were believable, nuanced, and I was transported to those places. Imagining all of the important people with tranquil lives who were uprooted and treated as commoners or second class citizens when the immigrated to the US is interesting.

Learning about the culture was eye opening. I used to fly kites when I was a child and I never knew about kite competitions or that it could be a competitive sport was interesting as well.

It is a great story of regret and redemption and really makes you think. I can’t rate this book highly enough.
