From the content to the voice of the reader excellent!

This is definitely a book I wish I had gotten while in high school. Although there was some great knowledge that was given that they don’t teach you in school this also helped me as an adult who didn’t go to college who started later and am trying to navigate through the business world and life. I am going to gift this book to my children and grandchildren when time comes to help them make their load a little less heavy learning things normally not taught in school anymore. Also this audio in this book was great which makes it an even better audiobook. Get this book you won’t regret it.
