Terrible narrator

Good overview of best practices
Reviewed: 01-01-24
Working in a large tech company I found nearly everything mentioned was something that is being followed at the company. I believe this book is in line with current tech best practices, but I wish it went into more depth. There was a lack of data on most of the statements.

Story
According to the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics, one in nine Americans works in sales. Every day more than 15 million people earn their keep by persuading someone else to make a purchase. But dig deeper and a startling truth emerges: Yes, one in nine Americans works in sales. But so do the other eight. Whether we’re employees pitching colleagues on a new idea, entrepreneurs enticing funders to invest, or parents and teachers cajoling children to study, we spend our days trying to move others.

I loved all the lessons about how to sell better, the constant citations of actual research, and the ethics laid out in this book.

Cardone best book

I've listened to some of his other books. This one has more important lessons than the other ones. It's a good blend of valuable principles and motivation, leaning toward the principles.

Informative but boring
Reviewed: 04-21-22
Struggled to finish. Too much information. one example was instead of just telling us there are different ways to measure BMI, he explained every process. Knowing about a method where you submerge yourself in water to measure BMI isn't going to help me get in shape.
