Point Made in First Half Hour....
- By Brett Jenson on 2017-10-18
Absolutely Fantastic
This being my first audio book, I'm very impressed with this work, and extremely satisfied with my choice of book. The narrator's voice fit so well with the writing and felt completely natural. As for the book itself, well, it's something I plan on listening to over and over until it's ingrained in my mind. A Bible of sorts. I'd recommend it to anyone who's willing to take a new approach to their life.

Not entirely relatable

Everyone needs a kick in the ass from time to time
First of all, this isn't a traditional self-help book. This is a collection of life coaching sessions with an expert in the field, each with a new client with a different set of problems they want help addressing. Mel is truly skilled at drilling down to the source of an issue that someone is having, and really gets to the heart of the problem quickly. She is incredibly honest and grounded, and I couldn’t help but fall in love with her approach. Even if you don't identify directly with each person, you'll surely gain some insight into how you can take a look at your own life and identify areas where you could use a little help. Now that I've finished, I'm off to listen to the rest of Mel's books!

Women get mixed messages about how to succeed at work, and research shows that much of the career advice aimed at men doesn't even work for women. We’re left wondering: How do you say no without being labeled difficult? How do you get paid what you’re worth? Should you go for that next big promotion, even though it’ll impact your family? Known for being 2018’s most-booked female speaker in the world and now a nationally-syndicated talk show host, Mel Robbins answers these questions and more with research-based strategies that you can put into action immediately.
