Hours and hours of fun and wisdom, great listen for a road trip. If you’re listening at 2.0 speed you’ll need to go down to 1.5 or you’ll miss a lot of “footnotes”, “extra footnotes”, and “secondary footnotes”.

While it’s a book about machine learning and AI, you might as well use the concepts to train yourself, your kids, people you work with in areas completely unfamiliar to them. And the quotes and references from those who are sometimes long gone are a great reminder that today’s work on ML and AI is just an iteration, not a new discovery.

Second best book for a runner trying to get back into it

The number of real life runner stories and the brilliant way in which the author is able to express them is exactly what I needed during my first series of runs after a long break. I don't remember the last time I laughed so much during runs, even when the topic is not funny at all. If you are trying to get back into chasing the running dreams. This will show you the way through reminding all the stories that you've already forgotten, but which are too beautiful to be forgotten forever.

PS. The best running book for those trying to get back is as always Born to Run.

There are deeper books, but that's a very good summary of "all the feels" of an ultra runner

Sometimes it feels a bit like listening to the summary of the actual book, as what from a perspective of an ultra lasts for an eternity, here is described over 30mins. Yet all the key elements are there to show why ultra running is not just running over mountains. If you've ever run a ultra, you'll find all the moments here where you'll laugh out loud, cringe at recollection of your own memories, or shed a tiny tear remembering that one finish.

Well worth it to remind you why you've done all that ultra thing in the first place!

Amazing amazing book. Really worth every moment. Reminder to look inside yourself when meeting people, instead of assuming that you just know it all.

I've been over 60+ books on audible. But this? This is something else. If you ever stumble this way and read this, you must get the book. You'll regret if you don't and find it years later. Amazing.

Academic at times, but still absolutely worth the time spent on it. Performance could be turned up a bit from time to time to stop it from being monotonous.

I've been following David Goggins from a distance, never fully aware if I considered him a hero or someone not able to fully appreciate the risks he has been putting himself into. After listening to this book all is clear now. He's a hero, and he has something to tell you. Listen to him.
