D P Atlanta

Great detail and insights to legends

Revisado: 10-19-21

I have been a life long Patriots fan and I was looking forward to this book. I wasn’t sure how it might appeal outside Patriots nation but it does. The center is three amazing men - Brady, Belicheck, and B Kraft behind the dynasty. People keep evolving and sometimes can’t be satisfied in the same relationship if they don’t evolve well together and have true respect.

This is as much a book about a sports dynasty with insights behind the curtain as it could be taken as professional relationship advice on how to be successful.

Great narration. Too much “daytime drama” for me

Revisado: 09-27-21

I enjoyed the reader and a good portion of the book but it was too many twists that felt forced and predictable.

Great insights and summary

Revisado: 09-18-20

I am a diehard Patriots fan - read the Wells report and always kept up on my team. I wasn’t sure how much I would really learn or gain insights but the interviews - behind the scenes - and views from the owner, coach, TB, and other players and insiders created a great story.
The insights to Bob Kraft‘s approach on how to manage a successful operation through key people, leaders and execution goes beyond the NFL and has applications to Business and Social / Political leaders

It is unlikely to see another NFL dynasty again (even in the leaner ‘08-‘11 years) that dominated the NFL (not just AFC East) for 20 years. KC appears to be on their way but we will see what happens now that large long term salaries have been signed.

Perhaps it isn’t over “The Dynasty” for the Pats - Bill has time to prove us all wrong ...

Well researched and a story of Hubris

Revisado: 07-23-20

The book is well researched and tells the story of the fall of GE. This was not a result of a few bad decisions but a corporate culture accepting - even encouraging - earnings manipulation (smoothing at best) over decades. This highlights a former CEO’s overblown ego trumping fiduciary obligations. There were early warning signs and an honest depiction to investors and employees from 2001 could have avoided the inevitable downfall.

The story is just another sad story of corporate greed and how a few senior leaders who made a lot of money while the shareholders, employees and communities suffer and shoulder the burden in the end.

Well written... too long for the subject

Revisado: 01-25-20

This was another solid Grisham novel and extremely well read by M Beck. It’s shortfall was it had a lot - far too much - irrelevant backstory and details on insignificant characters.

Great steps to owning your day... life

Revisado: 07-16-19

The steps this book provides will provide a great path to improving your life - one action - one step at a time. Try to do a little bit each day and forgive yourself. Well told (narrated) and I like the recaps at each chapter.

Proven results and straightforward explanation

Revisado: 02-13-19

This was well worth the read. Yes many items are not new - eat real food NOT processed, get organic, real food, more veggies than meat, etc. The insights on pliability and hydration was well written and easily understood.

Time well invested - now I have to put what I just learned into use. I may never play in a Super Bowl but I can get the most out of my life.

Well read, entertaining and informative.

Revisado: 04-13-18

This is not a comedy book but a great story based on Trevor’s real life. I enjoy him hosting the Daily Show but really enjoyed this book. I really hope Lupita Nyong’o plays his mom in a movie adaptation some day. Maybe Winston Duke as his step father.

Great adventure - well read & tons of 80s references

Revisado: 04-02-18

A well written dystopian future sci fun adventure book that Will Wheaton read just as well. As I grew up in the 80s, I loved all the references along the way.

Dan Brown delivers again

Revisado: 01-07-18

This is in the same style of Angels & DaVinci Code but not as complex or riveting. An enjoyable listen but not as much depth or intrigue. The plot twist was predictable.
