Story4.5 out of 5 stars 98
Why do some products get more word of mouth than others? Why does some online content go viral? Word of mouth makes products, ideas, and behaviors catch on. It's more influential than advertising and far more effective. Can you create word of mouth for your product or idea? According to Berger, you can. Whether you operate a neighborhood restaurant, a corporation with hundreds of employees, or are running for a local office for the first time, the steps that can help your product or idea become viral are the same.

This is a goldmine
Reviewed: 2019-10-30
This book explains how to make something go viral in a way that's so practical and easy to understand, and it makes perfect sense in regards to human nature. I honestly loved listening to it. I've already found myself falling into the same pattern of human behaviour he describes, recommending this book to a close friend of mine, who's also interested in business/entrepreneurship.

Story5 out of 5 stars 106
This explosive new audiobook challenges many of the long-held assumptions about blacks, about Jews, about Germans and Nazis, about slavery, and about education. Plainly written, powerfully reasoned, and backed with a startling array of documented facts, Black Rednecks and White Liberals takes on the trendy intellectuals of our times as well as historic interpreters of American life.

Very Interesting And Insightful
Reviewed: 2019-09-21
This book presented interesting ideas that I've never heard before. It was very engaging, and I never felt bored while listening. It definitely helped me understand the "other half of the story" that isn't discussed practically at all in mainstream discourse. I'm very happy I listened to this.

Story5 out of 5 stars 6,809
For David Goggins, childhood was a nightmare - poverty, prejudice, and physical abuse colored his days and haunted his nights. But through self-discipline, mental toughness, and hard work, Goggins transformed himself from a depressed, overweight young man with no future into a US Armed Forces icon and one of the world's top endurance athletes. The only man in history to complete elite training as a Navy SEAL, Army Ranger, and Air Force Tactical Air Controller, he went on to set records in numerous endurance events.

I Loved Every Bit Of It
Reviewed: 2018-12-05
This book helped me remind myself of what I should ACTUALLY be working towards. I've already started implementing many of the challenges listed in the book, and I once again am feeling obsessed with a couple specific areas of my life that I desperately want to improve. I feel invigorated, as if I'm now aiming towards what I should've been going after all along, and am chasing after daily discomforts and fears, trying to avoid the path of least resistance. Mr. Goggins' story was emotionally moving, and the audiobook format worked great, given that, what would normally be a simple narration turned into a bit of a podcast in certain moments. I wasn't initially sure if I'd enjoy that or not, but I think it worked really nicely. It provided some tension-releasing moments of humour, and some great off-the-cuff banter back and forth at times. All in all, this book was amazing. Thank you David Goggins. Thank you very much.
