Autobiography masked as self-help

Revisado: 09-07-24

Sounds like something we'd read to learn something about ourselves, based on the title. Most of the way through the book and it's just him telling his personal story with a nebulous idea attached to each chapter. If you prefer concrete techniques or steps for the "Embrace Your Greatness, Find the Flow, and Discover Success" then go elsewhere.

The kind of book that makes you chuckle and shake your head over the fact that people believe this junk.

The reader.... nooo....

Revisado: 12-28-23

The story is fantastic but the reader of this book just doesn't compare to the first 12 books. ended up feeling like this was more of a slog to get through and stay focused on trying to absorb the story for what it was without paying too much attention to some of the dreadful voices and the thickness of the accent. Maybe the Black Library will splurge and have this book redone.

just stories, no real explanations

Revisado: 12-05-22

The author warns you right away that this is fiction. It's based on real events but written as fiction. There's no information on the training and it just becomes a mix of special and regular operations stories told in a boring way with very poor quality fiction writing on top of that. Got too boring about half way through. Feels like the whole "this is all real but I had to write it fake" is just a gimmick.

I like the podcast but...

Revisado: 06-14-22

This book just feels like Lewis is just saying all forms of masculinity are toxic. Every aspect of a man's life should be re-assessed and moved toward femininity and vulnerability. The people this book is written for are the least likely to read it or even accept his ideas if they do. I'm pretty darn balanced between masculine and feminine but this book felt like pure soy.

Managed to get halfway through.

Revisado: 06-09-22

Not particularly interesting. The book starts off a little interesting but you eventually realize this is just environmental activism turned into a spirituality and then more activism about how being in the woods (not living there) is better than civilization. It just became too corny over the course of the book to be finished.

Just didn't care for it.

Revisado: 06-03-22

Gives 52 exercises to do for each week. I'm not the type of reader who will listen to 10 minutes and then go off for a week and come back a week later. It really doesn't work well for the audio format unless maybe you treat this book like a podcast.

A mess of random articles

Revisado: 01-22-22

Aside Arnold and Tony Robbins, I hadn't heard of any of these authors except the blogger space. Everything from different randos is thrown together with not really any real organization. It's so jarring to go from somebody advocating keto diet to another talking about psychedelics. This book feels like a recycling of articles into an incoherent message and just a cash grab.

Gave up on this one quickly.

Revisado: 01-19-22

If you're spiritual or religious, there's nothing here for you. Author opens up pretty much saying that the decline of religion is awesome because it frees humanity to explore everything and that religion only benefits the people selling religion. No thanks.

Not much to it

Revisado: 01-11-22

Stop trying to control everything and others. that's the gist of the book. At the same time, she uses anecdotes like letting her daughter do whatever she wants by reframing the traits her teacher didn't like into positive things. It sounds like a complete lack of discipline for the future but I'm probably not the desired audience which is probably geared toward "letting life happen" types rather than "work and create your future."
