Hot garbage

Revisado: 06-13-23

Within the first 30 minutes, I was aware that this book would attempt to associate woke culture, climate change, and even covid lockdowns with tyranny. The conclusions he reach are idiotic, his logical structure is misguided and dishonest, and the book is not worth reading.

Extremely important, informative.

Would you consider the audio edition of 42 Rules for Sourcing and Manufacturing in China to be better than the print version?

I enjoy listening to books read by the author. I can hear her voice inside my head, which personally helps me remember more.

Have you listened to any of Rosemary Coates and Tex Texin ’s other performances before? How does this one compare?

She does a fine job.

If you were to make a film of this book, what would the tag line be?

How to avoid getting too drunk at a Chinese business banquet and accidentally eating fish eyeballs.

Any additional comments?

Very much enjoyed this book. It is dense with useful knowledge, including the invaluable do's and dont's, Chinese history, the way things get done and the way things don't get done. Business school is full of tales of Westerners barging into other cultures and completely screwing up relationships and processes for lack of knowledge about how things get done overseas, and I heard enough tales of woe to make me realize how very important books like this are. These are simple and easy-to-digest rules that could have a far reaching effect on the supply chain and then business as a whole.

Very informative, but I defer to Jim Collins

If you could sum up How Google Works in three words, what would they be?

HowGoogleWorks

What was the most interesting aspect of this story? The least interesting?

I enjoyed thoroughly how Google shirked standard business practices, and in the process became the most successful and beloved company in the world.

Did the narration match the pace of the story?

The narration was slightly too flowery and emotionally charged for me.

Was there a moment in the book that particularly moved you?

The book is laced with hope.

Any additional comments?

The style of this book, in my opinion, is more "cute" than strictly informative, which will no doubt increase the enjoyability factor for many, though I personally prefer books that are more dense with information. I can't say that I added too many bookmarks, where other books are covered in them. A number of subjects went against the teachings of Jim Collins, my favorite business author, which I found a little unsettling, as I trust Jim completely but it would be foolish to ignore the methods that drive Google's earth shattering success.

What did you love best about The Personal MBA: Master the Art of Business?

This is a concisely delivered, full-scope summary of business as a whole. It is extremely dense with useful information. It delves into peripheral topics seamlessly, including the art of improving the self as it pertains to excelling in business. I would recommend this for anybody interested in any kind of business, beginner to expert.

What about Josh Kaufman’s performance did you like?

Easy to listen to.

What made the experience of listening to Great by Choice the most enjoyable?

Jim Collins is the best and most important business author of the last two decades, period.

What other book might you compare Great by Choice to and why?

Fits directly in the Built to Last, Good to Great style, but more geared for triumph over chaos and uncertainty.

What about Jim Collins’s performance did you like?

Authenticity, plainly delivered from the author himself.

Would you consider the audio edition of Brainfluence: 100 Ways to Persuade and Convince Consumers with Neuromarketing to be better than the print version?

I read both, which gives you a measure of how important I think this was.

What other book might you compare Brainfluence: 100 Ways to Persuade and Convince Consumers with Neuromarketing to and why?

Buyology compares, but this book offers more easy-to-follow, direct approaches to neuromarketing.

What about Mark Ashby’s performance did you like?

A pleasant read.

What made the experience of listening to Who the most enjoyable?

This book is in my top 5 business books out of about 200. It is incredibly informative, and provides meaningful and easy to follow techniques for the single most important aspect of good business: hiring the right people. I told a lot of people about this book excitedly.

What was one of the most memorable moments of Who?

Some stories had me laughing out loud.

Have you listened to any of Patrick Lawlor’s other performances before? How does this one compare?

Of all the audible books, this narrator was my favorite. He is most definitely different, but I found his way of speaking to "sharp", and greatly helped me remember the material.

Returning it

What made the experience of listening to Being the Boss the most enjoyable?

I assume the remaining 2/3rds of the book are good. But if I have to hear another sentence from this narrator, I will jump out of the window.

What didn’t you like about Erik Synnestvedt’s performance?

The narration was so annoying that I am returning the book.
