Great book but difficult narration

Revisado: 09-16-23

The book was great, but personally, I wasn’t a fan of the narration on this one

Worst experience ever

Revisado: 06-01-22

I got this because I wanted a modernized summary of Wealth of Nations that would make the classic text easier to understand.

What I got instead was:

- 50-minutes of someone reading passages from the book verbatim, with almost no summarization

The majority of this “summary” is word-for-word from the book without trying to make it easier to digest.

- terrible quality audio / speaking

There’s a loud piano playing throughout the book that makes it difficult to hear the speaker.

The speaker themself is clearly not recording this in a professional studio. They often pause randomly, and even repeat themselves verbatim.

Very disappointed with this purchase.

Too much theory

Revisado: 02-21-21

I was disappointed because I was expecting more practical takeaways on how to cultivate a healthy gut. It felt like most of the book was like a Biology class rather than a how-to guide to improve my health.

More information isn’t always better

Revisado: 09-26-20

“Your business probably won’t be amazing”, so instead you should focus on creating more information, according to the author.

I understand the premise of the book, and I strongly believe that providing value is the foundation of a successful business, but I think there were some flaws in thinking.

One of the examples of a “Utility Business” was an app that tells you when you should pee during a movie. Is creating that really a worthwhile use of time?

I would have liked to see more emphasis on how to hone in on your customers biggest needs so that the types of content you’re creating is truly valuable... not just creating gimmicky, mildly helpful information on a hamster wheel.

Your business WILL be amazing if you hone in on the market’s biggest frustrations and provide relevant information to solve their issues.

More information doesn’t always mean more value.

Love this book - high quality

Revisado: 10-27-19

Tons of actionable info - my brain was firing at a million ideas / minute. Excited to put this into action. The free software they offer is a really cool idea too.

Need visual examples

Revisado: 06-12-19

I liked hearing about some of the different languages, but it’s hard to learn a whole lot without actually seeing the code.
