Disappointing
The format of the audiobook is very hard to follow and the narrator's voice has almost put me to sleep while commuting several times. The content is very basic psychology, if you took a psych class in college then most of the information will be familiar. To me most of the suggestions were obvious, perhaps someone else may find the information more helpful. I would pass and read the reviews on the print version as well.

30 minutes of great information strung into 5 hours because the author feels like he needs to sell the concept instead of recognizing intelligent minds can decide for themselves whether the practice may be useful.
