Weak! love Ryan's work but not this

Revisado: 12-25-22

Actor james caan dressed in tights, so he made it big because he swallowed his pride... what? Examples of celebrities taking risks don't inspire me. His other work focuses on stoics themselves and lets us connect the dots to our modern-day, and similar, struggles. Cherry-picking celebrity success examples is not an inspiration or way to explain stoicism today.

I like Ryan's Daily Stoic podcast; his other works are ok. But this misses. I don't feel a call to courage at all in this one.

Appendix is Awesome

Revisado: 08-25-22

Super useful appendix for the first time in history books. The author can sometimes sound repetitive and braggadocious but hey that's part of his point: believe in yourself keep at it and keep at it some more. there is some unintentional comedy when he is settling the score with some past critics;at first it seems trifling but in today's age it was necessary. his revenge was probably an example of the best way to get back at the online anonymous hatred that attacks to so many innocent people nowadays not just the creative ones. like with so many of the great self-help books these days it is hard to remember the good points especially when you listen to this on audible you can't really take notes or even select clips when you're driving that is the apps fault not the authors but in true ultimate productivity fashion, the Guru of Productivity Already thought of this and made the most useful appendix to recap each chapters important points and guides you to setup an Action Plan for every point. in spite of what he may say I think the author knows this too but he is a teacher for all of us not just kids but for us middle-age adults. thank you!

Fascinating Ethiopian historical fiction

Revisado: 05-15-22

Learned about this on Kwamu's TikTok! The story is an exciting action adventure but even more than that it pulls you in to learn about Ethiopian history. I love learning about what seemed like a far away culture but hits a lot closer to home in Christian history. ex: J.R.R. Tolkien Lord of the rings such as the riders of Rohan were directly taken from Ethiopian history. I find it fun to cross check some of the stories and it blows my mind how this is real such as the underground churches. historical fiction is new to me and this makes me want to look for more of the Genre but more than anything this fantastic author! the narrator is awesome too I love the cadence and pronunciations that make me want to learn more about this history and maybe visit there one day.

The Incomparable Dan Carlin Can Do No Wrong

Revisado: 02-25-20

He is absolutely wonderful. He is the first one to really get me into podcasts with Hardcore History. You can hear the joy in his voice; sure he is a little more reserved here than in the podcast, but equally captivating. I wish he would do this for his podcasts series e.g. Wrath of the Khans, Punic Nightmares; Id love to have these on Audible instead of downloading separately.

very few authors are also good narrators. just sign up scott brick if you dont have a good voice. but this guy is good. doesn't condescend, sounds like someone I could listen to for hours - specifically 11 hrs and 26 mins. LMAO

good info - just 1 hour a week is TOTALLY doable! let's rock

Gary Is The Only Steinbeck Narrator I'll Listen to

Revisado: 08-06-18

Gary Sinise captures the blue collar, rugged, yet hopeful tone of these characters like no one else can. I wish he would do all of Steinbeck's books tbh. I can't stand the other narrators - they sound pretentious, upper class, highfalutin, and I can't stand it. That's like the opposite of Steinbeck, a I'll-drink-a-beer-with-you-and-talk-sh*t kind of guy. who hangs out at a brewery, not a restaurant, a cafe, not a tea house. I seriously would keep my Audible membership if Gary Sinise would read all the other Steinbeck favorites. Pretty please...

glorified podcast of his dating life

Revisado: 08-06-18

and not a clever one; first three chapters have a few quips on dating 20-something groupies and being rich; a lot on ego, very little on substance; chapter 5 is decent then it drops off again and couldn't finish the rest; returned for being mediocre

really like the narrator and the topic is good

Revisado: 06-28-17

interesting topic felt more like a good workshop fantastic for listening to while commuting which I of course did. It gave me great formula for first for identifying habits and then replacing them with good habits really helpful
I thought the narrator was amazing and I really hope to hear him read other books. Thank you to the author and narrator for a great book
