I don’t know what I was expecting to find listening to the whole 18 hour audiobook, but did not find anything new compared to other similar books or podcasts the author has been in.

This book is about 95% problems the author raises about the world and 5% solutions. …if even 5%.

I was excited to get through this book after listening to the author on several podcasts, but I feel like I shouldn’t have wasted my time with the audiobook. The author brings up, pretty much every conceivable problem in the world, and offers broad over idealistic solutions with not much real world applicability.


In short, save your time and money, just listen to some of the podcasts he has been a guest in.

I listened to the author on the Shaun Ryan podcast and really enjoyed their conversation. After listening to this book however, it does not compare to the podcast or other books on leadership such as “Extreme Ownership”.
Although I respect the authors credentials and work history, I feel as though this book could be more in depth with more instructions to his principles as opposed to the stories he goes over.
The last 10 or so minutes of the book also goes into a political rant about covid 19 responses and what we should be doing in terms of mask wearing and getting the vaccine…which in 2022 we now know was incorrect and misleading information. I feel as the author would have known better than to propagate such information back when the book was written.
