Timeless Stories

Reviewed: 01-10-25

Aside from his pronunciations of some of the names of things, places, or people, it's always fun and interesting to hear or read these most important, necessary, and timeless stories told in a slightly different way. Our tradition of telling these stories must never die and we must make an effort to listen and learn of others renditions so that we may tell our own to keep the tradition, lessons, and spirits alive for years to come.

Read It Yourself

Reviewed: 10-29-24

Buy the book and read it yourself. It seems like it could be a good story but the author cannot read stories well. There was no real conviction of what he was reading and there was no effort in differentiation between characters voices. There were also too many similar elements from "Chop Wood Carry Water", that it didn't completely feel like a different story. I'm not sure if that was by design to reference a callback or trying to be clever but I was not a fan of that. And this is personal preference, his voice is really annoying. Very high pitched and nasally, and he kept doing this awkward breathy laugh a lot. I don't personally identify with basketball, and the character Jason, was also cringe to follow. I'm sorry if a lot of people liked this story.

Good Information

Reviewed: 05-23-24

Solid book, worth a listen/read. Some good philosophies for life and Self. Re-readability is mid to low, but I would revisit it for some of the more interesting quotes, studies, and valuable tidbits.

Great Companion to 48 Laws

Reviewed: 04-11-24

Great information and deeper delve into the intricacies of seduction. The reader tried to deliver it in a "seductive" manner but...alas it was a little more annoying than helpful. Still, Great book overall.

Great Lessons for Life

Reviewed: 04-09-24

Everything about this book was well done. I thoroughly enjoyed the simplicity of each law, and the breakdown (transgression, reversal, keys to power) and how it applied to history as well as other related stories.

The narrator is a joy to listen to with his various voices and emotion put into each character, each line, each chapter. Since reading this book some years ago, and finding this audio book shortly after I have, without fail, listened to it every year and have gleaned something new and useful from it. This is has become one of my favorite books to read and listen to and I look forward to it, every year.

You would be hard pressed to find not only a well written book, by an author who's works are equal to their task in title, but also have someone read them in such a way fitting to their content.

Just...holy sh*t. First time reading and listening to this story. Going to do it again. So much to unpack and learn. Great story.

Well Done

Reviewed: 05-27-22

Lots of great information well laid out and well written. Some of it is new to me and some of it poses questions in a new way or with new information. Thoroughly enoyed it. The only thing I really did not like was the involvement of pure speculation in that the "Vikings" may have entertained multiple genders and cross dressing?! Nope, sorry. Drawing these kinds of conclusions from a non historical basis is irrelevant, but that's about it.

Once you get passed the reiterating points of the book in the beginning, it's good stuff. Can get away qith skipping it and getting to the meat and potatoes .
