Some good nuggets

Quite a few good nuggets in this that are still helpful and relevant today. Enjoyed the fast pace, focus, and some of the history referenced.

Funny and inspiring!

Revisado: 11-20-22

As I started to listen, I recognized this... Loooong ago, I listened to this on CD. It is funny, inspiring, encouraging. Encourages you to do work/business your own way. And though he does use the word "lazy", it really just means an approach to work/business with ease, instead of "work is sooo hard", "making money is sooo hard". As I listened all the way through, I realized how much influence the listening-long-ago-on-CD has had on me and my ideas about being an entrepreneur and making lots of money. This has been a well-timed refresher for me. Love it!!!

Started out as an inspiring 5 stars

Revisado: 11-18-22

Started out very inspiring - I even saw myself in him, with all my huge entreprenurial ideas, and I thought this book is going to be awesome and helpful. The more I listened, the more stars dropped away. More and more of his own limited-belief-blind-spots emerged, and then, horrifyingly, he spoke at length about firing negative-thinking employees, referring to them as CANCER. He goes on to say that he fires them lovingly. It is not love or loving to label a person a cancer, "fire them lovingly", and then go on to write a book (with Joe's and Jack's help and endorsement, no less!!!) publicly spotlighting to the world that he believes the people he has fired (and will fire) are "cancer", and telling you, Reader/Listener/Business Owner/Would-Be Entrepreneur, to also view them as "cancer" and "cut them out" (fire them.) The literal opposite belief/behavior of all his other "positive" messages. (My comments are not about firing people. They are about calling people "cancer" in a book on positivity and being kind, generous and loving towards employees, a book that spends a significant amount of time explaining how to make people feel valued and valuable. The belief that some people are cancer is inconsistent, incongruent - and horrifying.)

Rather than continue to try to explain my shock, I'll conclude here by saying: as with any positive thinking book, flip on your discernment switch, and be alert to the writer's (still remaining) limited-belief and negative-thinking blind spots. I still got much good from this book by doing that. 5 stars for all the good stuff I still heard.

If you are wondering where this piece of the story

Revisado: 02-20-21

If you are wondering where this piece of the story fits amongst the movies, it builds a bridge between movies one (Alien) and two (Aliens). Enjoyed it!

Not for me

Revisado: 12-27-20

This book gets a lot of great reviews. It wasn't for me though. Not my cup of tea.

Many excellent nuggets about Love and Forgiveness

Revisado: 05-01-20

To address the other reviews that mention audio issues: There are several pieces of audio "types" in this book. The intro, the reading of his actual book, some spliced-in clips that are actually Dr. Gerald speaking with his own voice, and an interview-style conversation at the end. Depending on the quality of your headphones, some of the pieces may sound smoother than others. Regarding the narration of the actual book, if you change the speed, you may find it easier to listen to. I listened to the whole audiobook on 1.5 times the speed. You may note, after hearing the whole thing, that the narrator's style mimics how Dr. Gerald speaks; rolls with starts and stops in similar fashion. Please also note that at the time of the recording, Dr. Gerald is over 90 years old. I had started to read the Kindle, then listened to the audio (which includes the interview), and I have just ordered the real physical book, so I can re-read and make notes. Many beautiful nuggets about love and forgiveness that I plan to share with others who are on a similar spiritual path.

Enjoyed, as always! She goes deep, but also makes us laugh. A shorter listen, and lots of profound nuggets.
