Ruined by narrators & music

The choice of narrators, jarring alternation between them, and hokey music absolutely ruined the experience of this audiobook. It's unfortunate because the subject matter and content is really good. I recommend buying the book in print or as an ebook.

not a fan

I cant believe the reviews are so favourable. It sounds like a lot of repetitive, irrelevant drivel to me. I cant finish it. there are just too many other things I could be doing...like choosing another book?

Focus!

What this book really seems to be about is focus. Why to dream big, how to reverse engineer the actions you must take from years down the road to the same day, why you focus this way and how it organizes your life to not be so chaotic, how habit secretly behind what seems to look like discipline. This book alone can help you make quantum leaps in your life by just applying a few principles discussed! For self improvement, this book is definitely a must on the list whether it's your business or personal that you are looking to work on!

Difficult to Listen to

The content comes highly recommended. But the performance is so awful, the content is completely missed.
It’s like listening to a cheap motivational cassette tape from an 80’s infomercial!

Takes too long to make a point

Too much time quoting numerous studies to support a
Point. It is like he’s trying to fill up To make the book aspecific page count.

 the message is very good and an important one. I just found that he cluttered it up with numerous stories that were not necessary to support the message.
