Practical and Substantive

Revisado: 12-02-22

This book explains the how and the why. I appreciate the depth of explanation for how habits form and what we can do about it. I read lots of self help books (it's a habit) and this practical wisdom if this one puts it at the top.

interesting, inspiring, quirky in a good way

There is much good information in this book and the author's accessible language and humor sometimes made me forget how intelligent he is. good stuff.

Dude: if you are confused, listen to this.

Revisado: 08-01-20

Unlike most of the reviewers on here, I'm a dude and read this of my own volition. I'm grateful for that and it gives me hope. I wanted to know what I could do to suppprt my partner, which was the last few chapters of the book. Most of the book is about giving dude's a clue about what they have done and how hurtful it has been for the partner. I already knew and owned all that so it was not super helpful. Weiss uses the word spouse, which assumes marriage. Probably fair, because if a couple is not married, infidelity probably spells doom for the relationship. In any case, I joke that this book should be subtitled "you are an a**hole and don't know it". I appreciate that the author is reaching out to a broader audience than the recovery crowd. This is a good service for dudes who need a clue. That said, if you are already in recovery and working a program with a sponsor and doing deep work on yourself and relationships, this book may not help you much. However, if you're scratching your head saying "why is she so angry?", then do yourself a favor, listen to this book and listen up. I'm surprised how many women listened to and reviewed this book. The fact that women like it is a clear sign it is relevant for you, dude. Also, if you are reading this review and considering this book, you probably need it. Otherwise, why are you even reading this review?

Great story and useful application

Revisado: 07-29-19

Gabby shared her story in a way that I could relate too, even as a middle aged dude. Her conclusions and applications apply to all.

Interesting and helpful and could be better if...

Revisado: 10-14-18

This was a very interesting listen and I gained some great, useful actionable knowledge. It would be even better if there were more lists of actionable steps. Chapter 16 is a list of how to be invisible, which is interesting, and an extreme I don't need or wantto go to. I am actually looking to be secure. So, lists for various levels and pros and cons of each would be great. Then I could take those steps. For example, a password manager, encrypted messaging and https anywhere seem like good basics.

no substance

save your time. this book has no useful information. it is cliche and panacea. Try Mark Mansons stuff, or David Deda.

Encouraging and practical guidance

Revisado: 04-21-16

This is a good book. It helped me understand new ways of thinking and approaching money. It makes clear, and I agree, that our society does not teach the middle class now to manage money well. We can be fine if we follow traditional "save, and invest and diversify" steps but probably not rich. I found myself challenged to learn and do more financially. Others do it, we can do it too.

Pactical, powerful, fascinating listen.

I grew mentally and emotionally with this course. It opened doors and guided me through. Highly recommended if you are wanting to better understand what makes us tick and how we can find more peace in our lives.
