I learned a ton!

Kyla is a great thinker and writer. Nobody else is balancing deep economic insight with accessible frameworks the way she is right now. I really enjoyed the narrative flow, content, and structure of the book! As a fan I also appreciated Kyla’s narration.

Blew my mind

Revisado: 10-13-23

Excellent performance. A one-of-a-kind perspective on a once in a generation story. Kept me interested the whole time. Delivered a major payoff for listening to the whole story.

Excellent and challenging

Revisado: 05-31-23

Fun and difficult, joyful and painful, this is an excellent book worth your time and mine. It calls you on your BS, encourages you to rise above it, and lays out an important framework you can use to navigate this landscape with your sanity intact. I’m grateful Tim wrote it and I’m impressed with his narration.

Great book about the US Army and it's leaders

Revisado: 04-08-22

Came for the history, stayed for the description of organizational structures, stories about major failures in the Army's past, and thoughts on leadership. Ricks always presents a clear narrative and this book is easy to listen to - I enjoyed the narration and the pace of the story.

History of the Republic

Great composition and flow. I was left wanting more 👍 I especially appreciated Duncan's note about the way these stories were recorded and potentially skewed.

The Best Value You Can Find In Audiobooks

Revisado: 05-20-21

This book is worth ten times it's cost, the time it will take you to read/listen to it, and all of the time you will spend thinking about the subject matter going forward. Seriously, Stone hit it out of the park again with a well-researched, well-formatted, and well-written book that will undoubtedly be read for years to come.

After reading Stone's 'The Upstarts' three years ago, I immediately went to his Twitter to keep an eye out for what he would be working on next. When I saw it was another book about Amazon I was slightly bummed, because I felt like he was THE startup chronicler, and Amazon no longer felt like a startup, but WOW, I was wrong.

Stone weaves enjoyable and exciting narratives across decades. He always has me leaving a book feeling like I'd closely followed the business news surrounding the company (or companies) for years, with the added benefits of a rigorous book editing/fact-checking process and phenomenal insights gathered from exclusive interviews.

Overall, I'm confident you will greatly enjoy this book, just as I have.

First VS Book I Could Wrap My Head Around

Revisado: 05-20-21

I've picked up a few of Smil's books and audiobooks over the years, but I've not been able to finish many (due to my own mental/attention span limitations). This book was very easy to follow and finish due to the structure of the chapters and the great performance by Ben Prendergast. If you're looking for a great book that will expose you to new ideas, test your assumptions, and help you plan for the future, you can do no better than 'Numbers Don't Lie".

This book will be read for a long time

Revisado: 05-12-21

I'm confident that this book will help you process the SARS-CoV-2 pandemic. Parts of the book will make you feel angry, other parts will make you feel numb, but by the end you'll likely feel like you can leave some of the confusion and resentment we're all feeling behind.

Absolutely Inspired!

Every moment and cent you invest in this book will be worth it. Yergin does a phenomenal job exploring the interface of innovation, world history/politics, and energy.

Great Story, Strong Narration

Revisado: 10-21-20

I really liked the story, and I'm willing to bet you will too. Following Blue Team's mission was rewarding and exciting. The book sets up a lot of great stuff for the upcoming 'Halo Infinite'.
