A nice short refresher for stuff that’s been said 1000 times before. Sometimes that’s all you need.

This was very motivating, inspiring and just what I needed. I listened to this audiobook the first time while cleaning my room. I had to listening to it again with pen and paper! So many wonderful gems! Gave me the jumpstart I needed. Thank you!
