Misleading title

Revisado: 12-10-24

This book is about the language of marketing, not cults. She dives a little into the topics of cult, but it’s more about how leaders gain their audience through the use of language. Also, Amanda, your hate for Trump is palpable and comparing him to Jim Jones is laughable. I’m not on the Trump train, but whenever an author shows their emotions it makes ALL their work not credible.

Not for me.

Revisado: 07-10-24

The narrator comes off as whiny and the material is so redundant. This could’ve been a four hour book. The research was cherry picked and the author bashes the US without ever addressing real issues that American parents have. Lastly, I wish parents would just get back to scrapbooking instead of wasting everyone’s time with long novels about how amazing their kids are.

Interesting material

Good book. It had some great takeaways. The narrator had a nice voice, but I found his pauses and inflection hard to listen to.

Not for me

Revisado: 01-14-24

I can’t hear the science through the politics and this author has a very big ego. Waste of time.

Meh

Revisado: 02-20-20

I’m not in the real estate business, but if I was I can see how this would be super beneficial. Performance wise, I always like it when the authors narrate their own books, and Manny did a great job. I’m not sure I got a lot of take away’s from this book, however. I feel like 75% of the book is him telling his life story and putting it in a chapters so his kids can have his legacy on paper.

What did I just listen to?

Revisado: 09-12-19

This has so much potential, but I can’t get over the structure of this book. To sum it up, it’s a story about four characters that you have absolutely no interest in, and you follow them through this “teacher to student” long, dragged out, completely unrealistic “adventure”. There is the billionaire (a surfer dude), the spellbinder (a person of magic), the entrepreneur (a damsel in distress), and the artist (a hippie). It takes you until chapter 14 to actually get to the good stuff, where there are actionable take aways. I almost gave up on this book, which I never do, and I found myself thinking 97% of the time ‘omg, what the hell am I listening to’. If you like dreamy quotes, magical stories, and fluff, you might enjoy this.

Save your time (and money) and just google Robin Sharma, he has his best content online.

Get the hard copy

Revisado: 09-03-19

This is a great book, but there is so much information in it. Because it’s so dense it makes listening to the book hard to follow. I’m going to order to hard copy and reread it though because it has great information. Also, the voice over guy is rather annoying. Every sentence is read super dramatic and theatrical.

Life changing

Revisado: 08-22-19

And, life saving. This book has giving me back my life, and I finally feel FREEEEEE!!!!! I finished this book the week of my birthday, and resolved not to have one drink on my birthday...that’s pretty amazing! It was my birthday gift to myself, a new me. AND, the day I finished it my husband and I had a boozy work event to go to. Normally I would drink at this event, just to ease my tension because it can be socially awkward and uncomfortable (I married the boss, so all eyes are usually on us/me at this event). Not only did I not have a drink, I actually enjoyed myself and the situation...sober?! Insane!! Thank you, Annie, for giving me back control and freedom. I’m so excited for this new life, the possibilities seem endless now.
