- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5This audiobook should be given an award. That's just how good it is. The writer certainly understands how to explain it perfectly. The thoughts from the writer made sense to me. I agreed with all the things, and that's another reason that I am so thrilled about this book. The writer did not randomly select bits and pieces of bad advice, but instead, analyzed the claims enough.

- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5Audiobooks such as these make my day. They're fantastic. In my perspective, it was quite perfect. There may perhaps have been a couple of barely detectable errors in there, but they didn't trouble me. When you can listen to a storyteller who is that great, and about a theme that you're interested in, you do not care about the other parts. That's the end of the story. The articulation of the words in this particular book was terrific, along with all the info contained in it. Based on that, I am actually happy that I purchased the book. It was truly worth my time.

- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5Hi there, I simply wanted to write a couple of sentences of endorsement. Simply listening in my truck, I enjoyed this particular book. I do not always appreciate any books, but this one stood out. And because it did, I began listening to it. It was some of the best time I spent, especially because I was doing some other tasks in the meantime.
