No clue

Something to pull me out of my deep depression the narrator put me in.

He ruined it.

The narator

What can I say? I stopped after ten minutes, tried again a few days later and made it another ten minutes.

I really got a lot of good practical stuff out of the first part of the book. That part of the book seemed relevant to daily business practice... then most of the rest of the book had good information, but it was about human behavior and behavioral science... this was good info, but not what I wanted the book for. It almost seems like he should have done a separate but related book to cover all that. All of the scientific experiments and results mentioned were interesting, but it was way too much information for what the book implies. However, too much is better than not enough in this case and I would use a credit & recommend to a friend just because of the practical value of the first few hours alone. Hope this helps someone.

I purchased this book as a refresher to the MBA I recieved 5 years ago from a local college. I found the subject matter very superficial and generic. The author did not appear to have a strong background in business. Few real word examples other than his experience in marketing at Proctor and Gamble or non-business examples were used to make a point.

The content in this book may be beneficial to a recent college graduate looking for a basic synopsis of general business principles or an entry level business major trying to improve oppurtunities in the workplace.

No, not my intelligent ones.

NO

The book rambles with multiple analogies and stories when one will do. For example, do I really need 5 reasons why sometimes more is not better? Most adults can handle 1 reason/story. Also chapters about diet and brain chemistry are not his expertise and a waste of my time. I fast forwarded through much of the second book. I expected more useful knowledge about business - too simplistic. Fine if you're 18-20 years old, but if you're halfway intelligent, you know most of this. Could have been condensed into 1-2 hours of useful information.

Im a client of audible for more than a year and I listen at least 1 book a month, sometimes two. This one have listen two times. IT SAYS SO MUCH THINGS that I had lived that make me say: if i knew then what i heard now.

If there where an spanish version I would like tu buy it, if not I will love to translate this my self, so I can recommend it to so much people I know that are making so much mistakes.

Communication Overhead

This is my first time

It doesn't matter if starting a business or just wanting to learn more about running a business I highly recommend this book. The title put me off for a while as it is a bit cheesy and I figured it was a series brand of the books and the content would be fairly hit or miss but boy I was wrong and it would go in my top 10 must read business books. It is an easy listen and I find things explained very clearly.

There are many concepts you have already known if you are working in corporate for more than 5 years. But, still this is good book to cover most of the topics.

Maybe

Disappointment. Good start with the work down of the problem with MBA programs which was helpful, although a bit long. When he started getting into the nuts and bolts of the different types of business structures and such he lost me. I was bored. It was like being in a real MBA program I guess. I think he is well researched and has good ideas, but not the best book overall.

Best book I have ever listened to...It is packed with so much information that I have listened to it 4 times. It is a very energizing listen for my ride into work.

Ch. 1: Value Creation & Ch. 4: Value Delivery

It's always nice to hear the author narrate the book.

It was nice that the book journeyed into other disciplines, such as psychology, since it plays a big role in business. I agree; don't spend tens of thousands (or hundreds of thousands) on MBA debt. Just get some good books, a good notebook, and learn from experience.
