Not enough application

Revisado: 11-30-22

I still don't know what it means to have my dominant and secondary types. I don't know how they interact with other types. The few examples sound like they have different secondaries than me. I just want to know how to use this, but feel like it needs visuals and decent examples.

Long-winded tunnel vision

Revisado: 02-17-19

I thought the chapter (s?) about air travel would never end! Aside from that, I found too many missing variables as to explain success. The author fails to give credit for individual pioneers, yet ironically gives credit to a collective of group thought. Individuals, particularly religious ones, have historically lost EVERYTHING (family, land, wealth, status, etc) in an attempt to raise the standard across cultures. Many of them have been ostracized or stoned to death by the collective because they like their concubines. They like having slaves. And they love their power. The USA was built on a culture of individualism because it CREATES. It was also built upon the fortitude of individuals who have continually shattered the culture of collectivism. Should they succeed, and be rewarded for their success? YES, because they pave the way for others to live their own individual dreams, and keep building layers, as well. Bill Gates' story is an example of a mentor who fought HARD, you can bet, to obtain or create the equipment Bill learned by. As evidenced by the fact that it wasn't available to the collective, because for the whole, their standard is lower. Individuals reject the bucket of lobsters trying to pull them back down and find a way to climb out. Making a lot of money for their effort is an organic side effect. Idividualism is the crust holding in the apple pie. Without it, we just have applesauce.

Very broad

Revisado: 07-13-18

As a homemaker, there was a lot of useful information, it was just sprinkled throughout other areas of life that are entirely irrelevant to me. The title is a little vague for its content. Also, there is little to no skill building for if the pathological narcissist in chapter 11 is your mother.

Vulgar

Revisado: 07-09-18

I know, obviously from the title it's got some unintelligent choice of descriptives. This book sums up other brilliant books in a way I simply couldn't recommend to friends.

I really appreciated this!

Revisado: 09-23-17

It's an interesting theory, and I've been doing my best to figure out what types we've got here, but sometimes I'm left scratching my head. I've figured out I'm a type 3 and that's been helpful to recognize my natural tendencies and embrace them more. Glad I listened, and would recommend.

Very nicely thought out.

Revisado: 08-28-17

This took me a while to finish because I mostly listened while I would fold clothes out of the dryer. It actually took 9 months, but I was able to easily pick up where I left off. I did wish for less inappropriate language, but for the most part the humor was spot on. Seriously gory descriptives, so if you're scared of blood, killing and death, this book is not for you.

Typical self help

Revisado: 06-01-17

Now that I've read a few self help books I've found a pattern. Most of the first 2/3 of the book is dedicated to annoying stories of rude people with made up names. Then the last part leaves you going, "That's it?" The parenting advice is very much too short. I thought there would be some profound advice about problems that aren't first world. There was just a whole lot of what love isn't.

I'm so glad I found this series. What a breath of fresh air. I feel smarter listening, like I'm not being asked to buy into some lazy plot. This is the real deal.

Loved it

The narration for this book is the best I've enjoyed on audible. The story was good too.
