Story
For David Goggins, childhood was a nightmare--poverty, prejudice, and physical abuse colored his days and haunted his nights. But through self-discipline, mental toughness, and hard work, Goggins transformed himself from a depressed, overweight young man with no future into a US Armed Forces icon and one of the world's top endurance athletes. The only man in history to complete elite training as a Navy SEAL, Army Ranger, and Air Force tactical air controller, he went on to set records in numerous endurance events.

Great format, AMAZING story
Reviewed: 10-15-19
When I started this book I wasn’t sure I’d like the format combining podcast and narration. I read it and loved it. It’s actually a great idea and I wish many more books had that format.
The story was fantastic. Goggins ... what a beast. Read it. Some are naturally driven people even when they an excuse not be. A job well done.

Story
This classic expose of the Fed has become one of the best-selling books in its category of all time. Where does money come from? Where does it go? Who makes it? The money magician's secrets are unveiled. Here is a close look at their mirrors and smoke machines, the pulleys, cogs, and wheels that create the grand illusion called money. A boring subject? Just wait. You'll be hooked in five minutes. It reads like a detective story - which it really is, but it's all true.

Very good. I learned a lot. I’ll need to do some of my own research into this topic.

Not the Real Version
Reviewed: 02-14-19
I have the actual paper edition but bought this book since I have a lot of windshield time. This book cannot even be close to the version due to the size comparison differences. Honestly, I am disappointed. The content I heard was good but can't give it 4 stars if I haven't heard the whole thing.

Story
In early August 1889, César Ritz, a Swiss hotelier highly regarded for his exquisite taste, found himself at the Savoy Hotel in London. He had come at the request of Richard D'Oyly Carte, the financier of Gilbert & Sullivan's comic operas, who had modernized theater and was now looking to create the world's best hotel. D'Oyly Carte soon seduced Ritz to move to London with his team, which included Auguste Escoffier, the chef de cuisine known for his elevated, original dishes.
