Well spoken...

I appreciated the examples and his logic to say what we needed most appropriately.

Something Shifted

Something shifted in my vibrations. After years of avoiding responsibility I feel ready to take responsibility for my life. Larry's truthful no nonsense approach to showing me what I need to do, to change my circumstances, did it for me.

Affirming aloud to myself that I am taking responsibility for my life was scary however it was powerful. It felt good to hear me say "I am taking control NOW.

Don’t waste your time or money on this book

Seldom is there absolutely nothing positive that one can find to say about something. Purchasing this title and listening to the first 45 minutes or so however has been an exercise in complete disappointment.

First, I detest it when a publisher is too lazy to put the names of their chapters in an audio book, this book cleverly avoids that problem by not even bothering to segregate the chapters at all. Just four one hour chunks which don’t seem to correspond in any meaningful way to the content.

The author lacks absolutely any sense of self awareness, whether it is the fact that his manual is meant to be used and applied but lacks chapters for easy reference or that as he puts it her cuts straight to the point. After telling us he cuts straight to the point he then spends the next 30 minutes complaining that people make bad choices. In fact that seems to be his entire thesis - people make bad choices and if they didn’t their lives would be better.

There doesn’t seem to be any insight into the human experience beyond people make bad choices, he doesn’t devolve into why are day to day choices don’t align with our long term goals or the challenges one faces and how to surmount them. It is possible he does this at some stage of the book but without it having anyway to skip ahead (no organized chapters) I shall never find out.

Now, without addressing the overly simplistic and at times flawed ideology in this book this jewel of intellectual laziness has one last crowning feature. The narrator sounds angry. Not excited, not enthusiastic but flat out angry. Everything is delivered by the narrator literally yelling at you. This man hasn’t attended an elocution lesson in his life.

It is a travesty that audible allow something of this quality to be sold at all.
