Story4.5 out of 5 stars 5,797
Jonathan Haidt skillfully combines two genres-philosophical wisdom and scientific research-delighting the listener with surprising insights. He explains, for example, why we have such difficulty controlling ourselves and sticking to our plans; why no achievement brings lasting happiness, yet a few changes in your life can have profound effects, and why even confirmed atheists experience spiritual elevation.

although the author is obviously political, I've never heard it. describe the way he does. props to him for being able to widen his lens and look outside of the narrow scope of either side of the political agendas. outside of that, the book and the information within was extremely interesting, and helpful. for me. it's a book on psychology and the human condition, not necessarily a personal development, but. which I liked!

Story4.5 out of 5 stars 172
Marty Neumeier, author of The Brand Gap and other business best-sellers, has written an audiobook that leaps right into your pounding heart. One rainy night in December, young CEO David Stone is inexplicably called back to the office. The company’s chairman tells him that the board members have reached the end of their patience. If David can’t produce a viable turnaround plan in five weeks, he’s out of a job. The problem is, he’s already used every trick in the book and nothing has worked. His only hope is to try something new. But what?

Great until introducing politics

One of the best brand strategy books
Reviewed: 12-02-21
The reason this is one of the best books out there on branding and strategy, is simply because it's in story format which makes it an absolute delight to listen to! and makes the wonderful ideas and frameworks easy to remember, which will come in handy because they are awesome!
You do have to try your best to see through the authors obvious political leanings. it's pretty annoying in a couple of spots. Whether you lean left or right you have to try and not let it muddy the story and great info. And who knows, if you're left-leaning you may enjoy the political stuff.

Now, for the first time, Seth Godin offers the core of his marketing wisdom in one compact, accessible, and timeless package. This Is Marketing shows you how to do work you're proud of, whether you're a tech start-up founder, a small-business owner, or part of a large corporation. Great marketers don't use consumers to solve their company's problem; they use marketing to solve other people's problems. Their tactics rely on empathy, connection, and emotional labor instead of attention-stealing ads. When done right, marketing seeks to make change in the world.

I have read tons of marketing books and gotten a lot of great info from them. A lot of theory and great ideas. This book feels more, real world, in a way. There are points in the book where I felt like I was having real-world experience and learning the small nuances of working in the marketing world. I really liked that! Great actionable info!

there isn't a whole lot of selection when it comes to books on branding specifically. this seems to be a lot on marketing and business in general, obviously. but this book really highlights the things I was looking to hear about.

great principals, a little hard to keep up
Reviewed: 03-18-19
this is a great book, and it has some pretty stout principals that can truly alter your life for the better. they don't come with that work if you're going to try and implement them. The only problem with this book was a lot of his words and the way he form sentences made it slightly difficult for me sometimes to focus. sometimes he would drone on with unneeded vocabulary and I would catch myself thinking about other stuff.
but if you stay focused, maybe write down the principles and your thoughts, you will really get a lot out of the book.

I have my people that I really enjoy learning from and following. And I'm fairly consistent. But this book taught me about a human being that I can really learn from, listen to and take from. And the Beautiful part is he genuinely office so much more, it's not just a PR stunt.

Are you tired of feeling f*cked up? If you are, Gary John Bishop has the answer. In this straightforward handbook, he gives you the tools and advice you need to demolish the slag weighing you down and become the truly unf--ked version of yourself. "Wake up to the miracle you are," he directs. "Here's what you've forgotten: You're a f--king miracle of being." It isn't other people that are standing in your way; it isn't even your circumstances that are blocking your ability to thrive. It's yourself and the negative self-talk you keep telling yourself.
