Suck SESS at being BORING
Revisado: 11-02-23
I heard Koch interviewed on the Tim Ferris podcast and was impressed. So I checked out this book hoping for more of his insight and, unfortunately, it does not deliver. Content-wise, there are just too many characters surveyed that it reads like a data dump that hasn't been filtered yet, with guiding principles sprinkled in too far and few between. The narration is pretty awful, to add insult to injury, with an extremely odd pronunciation of "success" (pornounced: SUCKS...... SESS) and some odd attempts of American accents when the likes of Steve Jobs et. al. are being quoted. Given the repetition of the world success throughout the book, is gets quite grating very quickly.
Still looking to check out Koch's other books, but this one was a disappointment. Listen to the Tim Ferris interviews first and skip this audiobook.

Jerry Colonna helps start-up CEOs make peace with their demons, the psychological habits and behavioral patterns that have helped them to succeed - molding them into highly accomplished individuals - yet have been detrimental to their relationships and ultimate well-being. Now, this venture capitalist turned executive coach shares his unusual yet highly effective blend of Buddhism, Jungian therapy, and entrepreneurial straight talk to help leaders overcome their own psychological traumas.

Tedious, not very helpful and little on leadership
Revisado: 09-26-19
Sure, looking within can help you with leadership, but there’s far more to it than that. More than half way through the book I gave up, getting little but a few interesting anecdotes about experiences the author gives in his capacity as a CEO coach. It is WAY too few examples.
The author is constantly talking in metaphors, which clouds clarity in his thinking and communicating them to the reader. The line from As Good As It Gets comes to mind: “People who talk in metaphors oughta shampoo my crotch.”
Performance-wise, the delivery only added to the new-age hippy feeling the tone of the book offered: too breathy, spoken softly as to convert importance without the substance to back it up.
Overall, look elsewhere for leadership advice or, if you’re seeking self-help and introspection advice, it can be found in clearer areas. Skip!

Fun Thriller, though lacks drama at times
Revisado: 05-17-17
The mystery feels a little contrived at times and drama lacking, though I'm not sure if it's because of the performance or the writing. The performance is whiney at times which is grating and annoying as time goes on. I was waiting for the story to end far before it was over.
That being said, I did stick with it. The mystery was compelling enough to warrant completion, though I would have liked to know more about the main mystery character that was never revealed. Still, I think Peikoff has promise and look forward to her next novel -- and hope the narration better than this.
