Adding to the success of the original

Revisado: 06-07-24

I enjoyed the original Total Money Makeover book and a few of the subsequent books, namely Complete Guide to Money and Baby Step's Millionaire, so let me just say that this audiobook encapsulates the same message echoed in all of those books. That being said, there are some nice additions to this with mentions of recent events like Covid 19 and how events like these impacted various people working through the Baby steps. He also incorporates takeaways from these events into the various Myths surrounding building wealth. I really liked the examples of people going through the Baby steps and the Myths around money he provided because it humanizes the core message surrounding this book, which is that this is a proven guide to help everyday people get out of debt and win with money.

THE book on teaching your kids on managing money.

Revisado: 01-13-24

This book truly surprised me with the lessons that were taught for both parents and for kids. It provides an excellent foundation on how to teach children about managing money, how to avoid certain money pitfalls, and how to empower children to make smart financial decisions. I highly recommend this book.

The GOAT of getting out of debt.

Revisado: 05-07-23

I have been a follower of Dave for the last 9 years and because of the principles he teaches in this audiobook, I have 0 debt besides my mortgage, I have an emergency fund, and I have a retirement plan that will leave a legacy behind. What he teaches works.

A Pleasant Surprise

Revisado: 12-29-22

I picked this audiobook by accident because I had intended on getting the Portraits of Courage audiobook instead. Nevertheless, I enjoyed every minute of this audiobook and hearing all the stories of immigrants who now call the U.S. home. I highly recommend this audiobook to anyone who has never picked up a book on immigration and immigrants.

Pretty good all around

Revisado: 10-23-22

I mostly enjoyed this audiobook, but will admit that some parts were a little bit long-winded. The majority of the audiobook contains some solid advice and I did come away with some newfound knowledge. Mr. Covey does an excellent job in narrating the book and appreciated his easy to understand form of communicating. However, there were some parts that I believe were a little unrealistic or just sounded more aspirational than realistic. Most of the times, these were in the parts where he referenced his children and things like 7 hours of TV in a week span or 1 hour of TV per day. Regardless, I still recommend this audiobook.

One of the best books on leadership

Revisado: 05-10-22

This was just as phenomenal as their previous book, Extreme Ownership. The format is identical to that book and the lessons learned are just as impactful. My only complaint was that one chapter was almost an exact copy from the first book, but other than that I would still recommend it to anyone who loved Extreme Ownership. Highly Recommend.

Generic Self Help/ Motivational Book

Revisado: 05-01-22

This audiobook was about as generic as it gets in the motivational improvement book category. That being said, the author/ narrator keeps it lively throughout the book with a very active speech style. The first half is pretty simple, with lots of stories and quotes from people who've "made it" in their profession. The second half is a bit of the same, but even I will admit that I learned a few interesting things from the author.

I would be curious to hear the author write a book about his approach to relationships, both personal and professional. I believe that aspect of this book was what really caught my attention above everything else. Not much else I can add as it relates to this particular audiobook.

Pretty average

Revisado: 04-24-22

This audiobook was average at best. Lots of interesting discussion on swordmanship and things of that nature, but nothing that really stood out. It wasn't until the last chapter that I was starting to feel invested, but even then it didn't quite grip me like other books I've read/ listened to. Not a bad book by any stretch, but not exceptional either.

The narrator did a pretty solid job of trying to place context surrounding the work. He also presents a unique perspective on the work and explains discrepancies when it comes to the literal English translation of the text.

Short, Simple, Straight to the point

Revisado: 04-11-22

After completing this audiobook, you might want to consider listening to it again to make sure you grasps the strategies proposed by Sun Tzu.

Highly Recommend

Revisado: 04-11-22

There isn't any other audiobook quite like this one. To hear a first hand account of a Holocaust survivor is one thing, to hear it from the perspective of a psychiatrist is another. Add to all this his thought provoking discussion on logotherapy and you've got a masterpiece right here.
