Eh

Revisado: 03-10-25

Most of the story, it was an encouraging telling about owning your power and speaking your mind. And then all of a sudden in the last chapters, she just stops doing that after a breakup and the book ends. Very strange. I really enjoyed most of this but totally fell flat at the end.

Some good points but overgeneralized and sometimes straight up wrong

Revisado: 01-19-25

I appreciate the points of having your own life and not being a slave to an employer.

However, a couple of major “oh-no’s.” The author has clearly never worked in recruiting and does not know the reality of recruiting systems because of the way he speaks about recruiters and how they do their jobs (and don’t do their jobs). A very long chapter just to say to adjust your résumé to use keywords for the job you’re applying for. Also, the author has an anti-burnout routine where he wakes up at 5:30 in the morning, has an intense workout and prep schedule, and unwinds in the evenings with a sauna. He also has a full gym in his office space. Not ideal or realistic for most working adults who have families and other life obligations.

Also, I get really irked when each chapter of a book starts and ends with “OK, let’s dive in/go/get started.” Ugh.

Interesting nostalgia

Revisado: 12-23-24

I loved ANTM and appreciate how others could see how cringe it was. There were times when I thought these podcast episodes reached a little far on certain things but enjoyable all the same.

Tough but love it

Revisado: 08-11-24

This is not for everyone. To say it’s tough love is an understatement. But I feel accountable and energized and absolutely loved it.

Tough but a great listen

Revisado: 08-02-24

The tone is confrontational, so it may not be for everyone. But I loved it and feel ready to make some big changes.

Meh. Nothing new here

To abbreviate: don’t wait to invest, save money where you can, and track habits (or calories, spending, time spent practicing piano)

Not for me, unfortunately

Revisado: 07-11-22

The narration was very tranquil and smoothing. However, the guided meditation was about imaging yourself seeing sunsets, hiking, mountain lakes, etc - which made me only think about my ex because we did so much outdoorsy stuff together and he proposed to me next to a mountain lake LOL so this book didn’t help me at all and made me feel a lot worse. But am hoping others enjoy this!

Overall, fine

Revisado: 11-21-21

Positives: Good information and helpful tips to acknowledge and overcome social anxiety.

Downside: the metaphors, similes, and stories tried too hard to be funny instead of supporting the information (ex. “Harder to believe than Barbie’s high-heeled feet,” Ghandi writing his ideas into his phone, a defense lawyer arguing against your “inner critic,” etc.).

Wonderful Story. Questionable Music and Sound Effects

Revisado: 07-17-20

Needful Things is a classic and one of my favorite Stephen King novels. I really enjoyed Stephen Kong’s narration. The voice inflections and pace were great. However, the sound quality is not. You can sometimes hear static, people murmuring in the background, and some of the sound effects are laughable. For example, Heartbreak Hotel playing during the Elvis daydream - so unnecessary and weird. I laughed so hard the first time I heard it and had to listen to the section again because I couldn’t focus on the story at all. Otherwise, big fan of Stephen King at 1.4x speed!
