Lots of life lessons

This book is a great set of life lessons and principles to live but as told through the authors interesting stories. It reminds you of things you should be doing or helps you plan your path depending on your stage in life. Great guide post for younger people. Good reminders for the more experienced.

A Different Kind of Development Book

This book comes at you from many different angles. It is interesting in that it is part entertainment, part new information, part confirmation of existing best practices, and part an actionable plan. The author does a fine job in taking data, experience, and strategy and packages in a very organized way. The audio book takes the book's advice and makes it more alive via the author's genuine presentation. My favorite parts is when the author uses advice from his mother and grandmother to make salient points. Excellent book!

Potential game changer for young adults

This is a fantastic collection of well earned knowledge from Mr. McCarthy. I'm in my fifties as the author appears to be and I wished I had this book when I was in my twenties. I felt like these stories were a mirror of my own life, so that makes me feel like I made some solid choices, but I am definitely buying multiple copies to give to my young adult daughters as I think it is a great blueprint for life and could help young adults skip to the front of the line in gaining solid wisdom.
