Great read

If I would have a book that can stand with The 48 Laws of Power, this is the book.

Very good book

Read this book. Listen to it slowly. This book jogged my thinking so many times that I lost count.

Terrible Narration

The narrator sounded like a person who doesn’t understand the language. No inflection and very robotic.

Fast but Enjoyable

While the narrator did read the book quite quick, it was definitely an enjoyable read. To get the most out of this audiobook, slow down the reading speed to x0.95 speed.

Dry info but solid. It’s like really good health food that you can only tolerate in small portions.

It’s strange as it seems the writer took all his time to figure out how to live but never spent his time actually living it to write the book. It’s wisdom if the information is applied, if not it’s just knowledge.
