Incredible story.

Revisado: 02-25-25

Great story, very informative and good narration. Though something seems left out. The entire book basically praises the man as a saint without fault. Certainly an incredible historical figure, but a well rounded profile would have imparted a better understanding.

Legit - well told

Revisado: 01-08-25

Excellent book and not what I expected. It is a an intimate look into a person’s criminal life. Not a tough guy fantasy told with ridiculous hyperbole.

Good initial introduction to body language/ linguistics

Revisado: 11-11-24

This is a good book on the fundamentals of body language and linguistics. I was disappointed in its elementary depth. In short, if you have more than a cursory knowledge of the aforementioned subjects- keep looking, or you will be bored by this one.

Not compelling or interesting

Revisado: 02-07-24

I appreciate his story but I couldn’t make it past an hour. I couldn’t figure out if this was an ego piece or merely a proclamation to - “ let creativity flow and embrace love” needless to say it was boring and devoid of a salient point.

Very informative- detailed- advanced

Revisado: 02-07-24

This book is extremely detailed and not dumbed down; quite a relief. Most books on this subject are entry level. That said the subject at this level requires actual study, along with pen and paper.

Politically one sided

Revisado: 12-30-23

A very abridged version: everything is white peoples fault. Certainly this issue is more nuanced than that?

A likable book by an unlikable author

Revisado: 01-05-23

I must confess that I am not a fan of NPR - this guy fits that cast. A male feminist who finds the metaphorical use of black and white to be racist. And sees the use of father as patriarchal - gross. That said, he is an amazing story teller who sprinkles some very good techniques amongst the texts.

Excellent book, very insightful

Revisado: 03-21-22

This book has the feel of an NPR expose written by a self hating white male feminist. Conversely, the subject matter, delivery and astounding journalistic work required to cover such a broad topic are both impressive and informative. I would highly recommend this book.

A Bumper Sticker Manifesto

Revisado: 10-23-19

Not a bad book but certainly redundant. The author glosses himself endlessly and name drops awkwardly in order to impart some sort of credibility drawn from his glory days. I listened to it at 2x speed to just get through it, if that tells you anything. The summation is that there are different kinds of players in basketball and some have it and some don't, champions mind etc.... The author probably is an effective motivator of celebrity athletes indeed, but I never felt the spark. Eventually it just seemed like Pinterest quotes put on indefinite shuffle.

Excellent content - annoying delivery

Revisado: 06-24-19

Firstly, the content, concepts and exercises are very valuable. Unfortunately, It is presented in a format that resembles a children’s sock puppet show. The best you can do is listen once, take notes and follow up vía YouTube. I could go on but I don’t want to be overly insulting to the author.
