- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5Great book. I’ve a been humble fan of Moxie’s podcast ever since I accidentally bumped into her pineapple episode. Personally, I can’t do regular books as they put me to sleep, so I rely solely on audiobooks for new inspiration. The audiobook version of this book follows Moxie’s usual format of finding the tiniest details about a topic while smoothly transitioning to similar ( just thought you should know) topics. I’m sure she’ll come out with a second book in the near future.
- Rating: 1 out of 5 stars1/5Woke garbage. Just give facts and enough with the man bashing
