Great book, could use a different reader for some chapters

Great book, however the little chuckles at the end of every other sentence in some chapters are a challenge to listen to.

Looking forward to putting in use.

Great read - actionable takeaways. I started putting some principles in action as I read, but looking forward to recalibrating work life with this going forward.

Interesting

So many topics covered here that I have contemplated for decades. this helped galvanize my thinking. the reference to the PDF was my one negative observation... perhaps it's impossible to avoid, but I consume audio because time is limited and audio+exercise = healthy mind & body. the PDF references make the equation somewhat challenging. Still a solid concept. Well done.

Good book.

Good program. I liked how it was broken into two sections for individuals and companies.

Who on Earth thought the fake laugh was good?

The weird affectation of half chuckling every three to five words is remarkably off-putting.

Great Material - One Reader is Distracting In Perf

I love the content. The production is moderate. One author/reader put too much voice inflection in his performance. Jim Huling is a great mind and enthusiastic but his enthusiasm was distracting to the point that I couldn't concentrate on the material content. I probably would need to purchase the physical book to overcome this. as a note, I listen and learn through audio books extensively.

Helpful for any team leader, manager, VP or CEO

This will help you dramatically improve team performance. It is not just theory but actionable steps on how to do it.

if you are not willing to commit 100% and lead by example, this is not for you.

Great business tool

Tough as only an audio book. Need the pdf along with the book. Very applicable content. I need to read again to absorb everything.

Easy to listen

I liked the change in readers and voice enthusiasm to keep me engaged. I also liked hearing other voices to portray other characters.

Great book HORRIBLE performance. Get new voices!!!

This info is important and useful but the audio makes me feel like I’m a boring lecture and fall asleep. The voices are monotone and writing and execution are their specialty not being an audible voice. Know your forte
