It is rare to be so hooked by a book right from the start of the introduction, but this book definitely achieved that. usually there's some time to build momentum but in this book it just jumps right in and goes for the jugular right up front. HIGHLY RECOMMEND!

I've always found Malcolm Gladwell to be so inquisitive and with a high standard for investigation in order to learn something fascinating about humanity. This book still delivers on that and I would say it's especially important for Americans.

This book is now a classic that is foundational to various segments of the greater men's movement, but definitely the book for what became known as the mythopoetic men's movement. An excellent resource for a deeper understanding of the soul of men. Reads almost like Joseph Campbell's "The Hero With A Thousand Faces" with many references to classic literature as well as more modern psychology, sociology, and anthropology. All of it expressed in a more streamlined and simple manner, thereby making it easy to understand as a much more practical book and not something highly academic.

I can see how this now classic book inspired the ideas of various others in the personal development and organizational leadership fields. It holds up extremely well as of course sound principles always do.

It's chock-full of wonderful insights that are very real world oriented and clothed very nicely in a story. Overall the book in and of itself with how it was told is a great idea and I can see why it has expired so many others.

This really is a phenomenal work from a brilliant thought leader. His TED Talk from 2009 that first really established him is a great lead in to this book, but this book certainly stands on its own. He has formulated his viewpoint very well, even grounding it in the biology of the brain, and his articulation is intellectually stimulating, but still simple while being incredibly practical with many great examples from both social leadership and business leadership to back up his claims.
The printed book has been great to read as well and this is the first time that I've gone through both an audiobook and a printed work. I've been able to take a lot of great notes in the printed book and the audiobook just helps to reinforce the printed version for me.
But this audio version even helped me to get over a business planning hump by reminding me to focus on WHY first. After doing that I was able to become more solution-oriented and excited about the tasks at hand.
I think there is some groundbreaking material here that is important and can be of service to anyone no matter what they're up to in life.
