Did I miss something?

Revisado: 08-22-21

As much as I like the scientific explanations, I feel like I was looking for some concrete action items. Although so thorough to the point of tedious was the science (and I don’t know enough about that to comment on its authenticity), I feel like I kept waiting for actual actions I could take and they were few and far between. Stuffed in at the end, a few dribbles about breakfast and the importance of exercising (duh). I really wanted to like this book, but find I’m left wanting.

Weird/different meaning immigrant/ethnicity

Revisado: 05-28-21

The authors personal story is about being an immigrant. And much of what she talks to relates to ethnicity differences. I only made it a third of the way through. Maybe it gets better. But I was hoping for a broader use of the word “weird,” not just ethnicity/immigrant differences. Nevertheless, I think it is well written and read just too... well, focused on ethnicity as the focus for what she considers weird. If that’s something that you can relate to then I think you will enjoy this book. If you looking for a different definition of weird, then not so much.

For Mother’s Only!

Revisado: 05-15-21

This is a great book if you’re a mom or you want to understand moms.

I bought it because multiple reviews said “this is great for all women” and even “men could benefit from this book”.

I’m not a man or a mom and although I really like the author and the content (hence the five star), it is not for non-mothers or men unless you have a lot of time on your hands, nothing better to do, or like I said... want to understand how many moms are feeling.

I only made it a third of the way through before it actually became more damaging than good for me as a single woman without kids.

Happy with this book.

I had a read a negative review and wasn’t sure about the book, but read some others and thought I would give it a try.

The negative reviewer is a troll. He is the typical “take out of context” and make a case for my point of view (even when it’s not supported) type of reviewer.

Personally, I found the book to be in depth enough that somebody working the land can actually get some benefit, and wide enough to catch people of all levels and direct them towards some new thinking.

I felt the approach was open, honest, and thoughtful. It’s obvious the author has his opinions and his experiences, and he makes no qualms about it. Rather, I found the book to be pretty balanced overall.

I studied horticulture in college some decades ago and the head of the department was enamored with soil science and it left a lifelong impression on me. Although I am not a farmer, I have enjoyed landscaping and now am working towards a food forest in my urban backyard.

So I’m not super new to the subject, but not an agricultural specialist either.

Thank you for a great read. It will definitely be a book I listen to again and again as my skills and knowledge increase.

Definitely a keeper. Will listen to it again and again and am seriously considering buying a paperback or kindle version as well to refer back to.

Read by a robot - don’t fall for the five star reviews!!

Revisado: 04-15-19

I squally try to find something good and give an even review.

But I can’t make it through this book.

The guy reading this sounds so much like a robot that I can’t get any information out of it.

It. Is. As. If. He. Has. A. Per. I. Od. After. Ev. Ever. Ry. Word. And. Ev. Er. Y. Syl. La. Ble. Of ev. Er. Ry. Word.

I have no idea why he has five star reviews except I suspect they are not random people, but people he knows somehow.

I feel the need to warn others about this book. It may be great information in a book, but whoever is reading this is simply terrible.

Mostly great!

Revisado: 04-15-19

The first few chapters are rough. Pretty much a rant about the PR industry. It gets old after awhile. I almost didn’t make it past them. In the midst of this tirade there are a few good tips.

The book gets a lot better after about chapter 3 or 4 and tends to increase in information from here all the way to the end. There is so much stuffed into the last chapter or so, it feels like listening again would be advised.

Overall good advice about being genuine and not lying, but it’s read with what sounds like an arrogant tone which is a little jarring to parts of the message.

Nevertheless, I recommend this book for every entrepreneur. Solid advice given about dealing with the media outlets, in good and bad times.
