Ok 1 hour book

This book is Ok. It is mainly info about tech CEO’s and have the rose with their ability to keep things simple and perfect that one thing to be good at. This information can easily be found online with wikipedia or anything that shows bios. Not a bad read for something quick though since it is only 1 hour. I don’t regret getting this but if you don’t want to waste your monthly token then get something else. If you have some to spare then this but is an Ok read.

Few anecdotes

The performance could be better. Knowledgeable content on how some of the big tech started which explains why a lot are failing.

Just what I needed!

Definitely a missed opportunity for most other audiobooks. This book gets straight to the point where others just drag on and on. This is exactly what I needed to hear as I’ve taken countless courses and read so many different books and articles but am still stuck! Now this is that magic pill we all need!

Slightly Misleading

Firstly, it was brief, interesting and somewhat inspiring. It could have been call "How tech. platforms keep it simple by focusing on one thing... and how that drives success," and the title would then have made more sense, but a few good stories don't make a 5 star listen.

More technology related

The book is OK it is with a lot of information and it may we talked about tech companies Facebook google Instagram etc. but it didn’t really talk about doing one thing well it may have glanced over it a bit but this is mainly a tech related book is something in here you can learn it’s just not mainly about doing one day and if you don’t understand tech then it definitely won’t be for you.
