Disappointed

Revisado: 08-07-18

This book came highly recommended from various influencers, so I expected that it would be deeper in nature. A good portion of it could be summed up by the title, literally showing up for events in your life, prioritizing family and friends. There were nice anecdotes about a young Bill Gates, but that did not overly interest me.

It's short and either not very deep or I am too young to appreciate the depth. For now I'll assume the former.

Wow

Right up there with Stephen Covey! This is my new favorite resource on how to accomplish everything I want to in life. None of that pseudoscience fluff that so many other books have.

Baby's first book on Stoicism

Revisado: 03-12-17

In the non-fiction self-help space, there are books that truly bring something new and then there is a spectrum of quality for books that aggregate existing information. This book falls near the lower end of aggregations.

If you have little knowledge of stoicism and a short attention span, you will find this helpful. If you have a little of either, you would do better to just read the classics. Ryan writes quite well, not sure if it's really needed though.

Knockoff of the Charisma myth

Revisado: 09-28-16

This is a less helpful version of The Charisma Myth. Save your money and time and listen to that book instead

Not terrible

Revisado: 09-20-16

If you've read any amount of dating advice this won't be overly helpful material.

It is enjoyable listening to him butcher the pronunciation of the famous author names he quotes.

Elementary

Revisado: 09-18-16

You wouldn't read a book about from an author who had never done ______ but claimed to be an authority. Reading a book on how to be marriage material from a never-married 40 year old is the same thing.

Nothing in here was overly insightful unless the listener has next to no experience with dating.

Don't waste your time

Revisado: 09-08-16

You're going to have to wade through two hours of uninteresting personal anecdotes before the first mention of any idea backed up by research. This is one drawn out, over exaggerated story about a dude and his quest to get rich/famous.

Wish this audio book wasn't refund proof.

Takes from other works

Revisado: 06-17-16

If you have read a large number of business/psychology books there won't be much new material in here for you. This is just a large bundle of book reports and overly simplified personal anecdotes.

If you haven't read any Dweck, Gladwell, Duhigg, etc, then the book might offer some value.
