This is a good book, that I really enjoyed listening to. The story is gripping, and mostly well told.

that being said, there's a couple of points I'm not sure I liked.
- I came for a guide/self help book based on a personal story, but it is much more the other way around. Much of the book describes the personal story, with some guidance packed in and an extra hour or so packed at the end.
- The guidance is a bit brute forced (eat vegan, set great goals with daily steps). There are better books on those subjects out there.
- There is slightly too much of Rich blowing his own trumpet. The story and achievements are great, but probably had a greater foundation in fitness/writing training etc.

really good book, with quite a few takeaways. special praise dir the accompanying pdf.

slight dislikes:
I assume that the crass language was done on purpose, for me it was slightly over the top.
for a non-native speaker, the switch from Simon's reading to Lesley's reading was not super easy, her Scottish accent always took a couple of sentences to get used to

interesting food for thought

Rezensiert am: 11.10.2021

the book presents 'brain rules' (how our brains learn) in a clear and interesting fashion. interesting if you work in education, support decision-making or are a parent.
I do think it would be slightly better with a professional reader/narrator, but Medina does a good job on his own book.

Well deserved classic

Rezensiert am: 07.05.2020

The book is full of wisdom, but I'm pretty sure that I need to relisten parts or even the entire book to really grasp it. I count that as a plus though.

Well read, strong & honest content. The book is useful for men that are traveling with Christ and want to deepen that relationship.

very interesting ideas, well read, understandable

Rezensiert am: 15.01.2020

I liked it. writing had a light, sometimes tongue-in-cheeck tone. ideas were presented in a easily accessible format. the only problem I had was that some comments were too black and white ('group brainstorming doesn't work' for instance, I think the authors are correct in this context, but believe it is still a good tool in other context. I loved Dan Bittner's reading, he's a good fit, and did an excellent job.

Long 'read', but worth it

Rezensiert am: 21.10.2019

Daniel Kahneman has managed to gather extreme amounts of data on the difference between expected rational decisions and the behaviour people show. The examples are described so vividly that they are easily imageable. It is a long read, but I found it worthful. Patrick Egan's voice is fairly easy to listen to, although I would have liked it to be a bit more lively (maybe a tad faster)

must-read for meeting leaders

Rezensiert am: 17.08.2019

this book have me a lot of valuable insights, and I intend to try out multiple of the described techniques. The audiobook was a bit too slow-paced, but I'm not sure if that's due to the writing or the reading.
