- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5This audiobook blew my mind, both the content and the narrator's production. The thoughts from the writer made a lot of sense to me. I agreed with everything, and that's yet another reason exactly why I am so thrilled about this audiobook. The author did not arbitrarily choose bits and pieces of wrong advice, but instead, sorted out the claims enough. I am trying to point out one thing negative about this audiobook, but I can't. It's simply way too great. So without further exaggeration, I simply think everybody should consider listening to it.
