Always Impressed with Mark Manson

Revisado: 01-25-25

I wonder if Rich Roll knows that Mark Manson is referring to him when he talks about the California mold of self help enthusiast. Great interview with Mark Manson, but Rich always has to interrupt what his guests are talking to put his 2 cents in. 🙄

could have said everything in this book with 1 page. the examples used didn't help to enforce the idea.

don't interrupt

Revisado: 08-12-22

like listening to Rich Roll and his guests. I just wish he would stop interrupting them. he does this right when they are going to make a point, then he interrupts and takes over the conversation. Almost 90% of the time the conversation goes off into a tangent and the point the guest was trying to make is never made. so annoying.

Great theory, wrong conclusion.

Revisado: 07-08-22

I value Mark Manson's book recommendations. this was one of them. After listening to the first chapter, I knew immediately that the author/narrator was a liberal. I continued listening to give the book a fair shot. the second chapter was so skewed to the left/ liberal. I could barely continue listening and yet I had to - my hands were to sweaty to change my book selection. I was somewhat frustrated after finishing my run.

The author makes valid observations about college campuses and the student mind shift over the years. I just find it very difficult to agree with his reasons why they are happening. He points out a very important fact that university educators are liberal and outnumber conservative educators by 17:1. I just couldn't help but feel that he blamed evil republican conservatives for causing this mindshift.

College protest on your campus - it's because conservatives provoked it. Angry liberal mobs at a Oregon university campus protesting liberal professors - its because conservatives provoked it. it was almost humorous that the author went out of his way to blame republican conservatives.

Is it any surprise that this author classifies himself as a liberal? (Check wikipedia).

good book

Revisado: 08-06-21

so many running books and all just seem to brag about how great they are. this one seemed different in that it actually got me thinking about how to incorporate some of the authors ideas into my training. made me think about how we approach running in general.

please, don't even waste your time

Something about hearing a so called "educated" lady swear and talk trashy just doesn't appeal to me. you can't even focus on what she's saying because of the trash talk. the audio is horrible. Come on authors, pay a little money to get your book read by a professional.

same stuff but mercola is one of the leaders in this area. if you're living a healthy life style, this will teach you very little new stuff.

Just another self help book

Revisado: 02-14-21

Nothing new or useful that hasn't already been said in other self help books. Narrated by the author. which has a decent voice.
