Historia
It was one of the most searing images of the twentieth century: two young boys, two princes, walking behind their mother’s coffin as the world watched in sorrow—and horror. As Princess Diana was laid to rest, billions wondered what Prince William and Prince Harry must be thinking and feeling—and how their lives would play out from that point on.

Amazing autobiography read by the author
Revisado: 01-26-23
I loved listening to the author’s voice telling his own story. It was like spending time with an old friend catching up. I didn’t want the book to end. By the end, I felt like a family friend to the Duke and Duchess and their kids. I’m so glad I opted to listen to Spare rather than read it, as that added an extra layer to the experience. You would have to not have a heart at all to not feel the pain of this couple and their young family. No spoilers, but it tugged at my heart when he said he was brought up not to be independent, not to have a skill, not to even cross a road without 3 bodyguards; then suddenly all that was yanked from under him because he didn’t play ball the way they wanted. When I hear people making fun of parts of the book, like Trevor Noah did, I know there’s no way they’ve read the book. Probably just picked up some tidbits from a UK tabloid - lol!
All in all, a first-class read (or listen). Highly recommended!
If you liked The Crown, you will love Spare!

I started listening casually but got gripped by such a personal and heart warming story. It conveyed love, struggles, perseverance, determination, dignity, victory and optimism. I am so grateful that Michelle Obama told us her story!

Historia
Many of us experience times when life with God seems to fall short of our expectations—when we feel let down by God, hurt, or abandoned. This is something most people don't talk about—until now.

Very deep insights from Yancey
Revisado: 03-10-18
The insights revealed in the book were so deep. I found myself looking at the experience of the Israelites in the wilderness from a very new perspective- what happened to them happens to me everyday. And it was so helpful to realize that even if God came and talked to me in form of a cloud everyday and He directly fed me and gave me water, I might still not love Him any more than I do today. Instead I might fear Him more and maybe even take Him for granted but not necessarily love Him more. When I'm disappointed I keep thinking everything will be ok if God just revealed Himself and explained His actions to me. But it's no guarantee for a more trusting relationship. Yancey helped me see that clearly. A tough lesson indeed. I give it 4 stars because I felt like there wasn't enough of God's loving and compassionate side revealed. The focus was a lot on God's fidelity which is good - not many texts out there dare dive into this unpopular side of God. Yancey took the plunge. But in doing so, we missed some of God's kinder and more compassionate side. But all in all a fantastic read for any Christian, dealing with disappointment or not.

Great book great narration
Revisado: 06-28-16
The book is great for understanding how to motivate yourself and others. It addresses key underlying concepts in how people make or not make decisions about important things especially related to work. I enjoyed the use of practical examples and especially enjoyed the references from scientific literature underpinning the highlighted concepts. The one thing that was hard for me In book was the presence of so many concepts that one had to keep in memory while reading. The writer didn't bring closure to many of these stories and concepts in the book actually until the Appendix which has now turned out to be my constant reference piece. Very interesting work. Will highly recommend to anyone looking to get to the next level in becoming productive or helping a team become more productive.
