What did you like best about Buying Customers? What did you like least?

The content is good, but not suited to audio. I found myself wanting to highlight, underline, re-do, check and compare the equations he was describing, but they got away from me too fast. Certainly no good while driving.

What do you think your next listen will be?

I'm looking for "Good to Great" or Michael Porters "Five Forces". Hoping the latter isn't like this one and needs to be paper based. Best I read the other reviews!

Would you listen to another book narrated by Jaime Andrade?

The narration was fine, certainly not annoying.

Did Buying Customers inspire you to do anything?

Buy the paper book!

Would you recommend this audiobook to a friend? If so, why?

Written and narrated like he is talking to a friend, Tony Hsieh engages from the moment he starts. Honest, humble and humorous, it highlights a number of valuable lessons learnt by Tony from childhood till now, that would be valuable to anyone, but especially aspiring entrepreneurs.

What does Tony Hsieh bring to the story that you wouldn’t experience if you just read the book?

You will really get to feel like you know Tony Hsieh through the audio. It makes the story and its lessons 'sticky'.

Any additional comments?

This book would make a great gift too, as I suspect its appeal would be quite wide.

Move this to the top of your wish list

What did you love best about Good Strategy/Bad Strategy?

Richard Rumelt pulls no punches as he exposes case after case of poor (read no) strategy in both companies we do and don't know. He then highlights some stand out strategy cases but without confining himself to just the old Apple and Walmart scenarios. A must read for anyone after more than just motivation.

What did you like best about this story?

It untangles some seemingly very complicated strategies into building blocks. No claim here that it is easy, but definitely doable.

What about Sean Runnette’s performance did you like?

I found the narration quite easy to listen to. He sounded like he was the author.

Any additional comments?

Do yourself a favour. Get it.

What could have made this a 4 or 5-star listening experience for you?

Remove the Bible bashing! It just got unbearable. I love Zig and I am born and bred a Catholic, but this just went way too far.

Has Better Than Good turned you off from other books in this genre?

I will be reading more reviews before purchasing my next Zig Ziglar book. I don't want to be disappointed twice.

What three words best describe Zig Ziglar’s voice?

Entertaining, engaging and Southern

You didn’t love this book... but did it have any redeeming qualities?

Zigs stories are always entertaining.

Any additional comments?

Get Ziglars "How to stay motivated" book instead. That one is recorded live so includes a lot of humour and while he does reference the Bible, it does not feel preachy or over done.
