It depends.. The speaker uses many acronyms and references to other goal-setting material, and the content assumes that the listener already has all of this knowledge. It takes perhaps halfway through the book before some of it starts to make sense. If someone had prior knowledge of some of these terms that the author uses (like GTD) then sure, I would recommend. But not for just picking up off the shelf.

The speaker's tone was soft and lilting, not high-performance nor energetic. I suppose this is to play on the "zen" idea, but if I am looking for goal setting motivation, I'd expect to hear energy and excitement in the speaker. His delivery was more spa-like.

I suppose. I will listen to it again for some of the nuggets that were worth learning.

If someone is looking to feed their mind with positivity and needs encouragement for stepping out, this is a good one to add to the library.

Some of the Zig Ziglar presentations. Not quite as lively a speaker but still good. Not too long either.

Emphasis on encouragement and motivation.

Not that I recall.

I liked the concepts. But much of what was shared was more for the manufacturing industry and less for a general corporate environment. There were good nuggets but wasn't really what I was looking for.

I suppose it would be motivating if I were in a similar environment to the speaker.

Energetic, engaging.

Could, but not necessary.

Motivating, entertaining, inspiring. Although it is similar in content to some of Zig's other material, he is always very good.

Any of Zig's other books (See you at the Top)

Yes. He is a stellar presenter.

Hoping it will help to change some habits.

The title of this and the description are very misleading. This is not for personal goal setting or personal performance. This is specifically about building wealth and setting personal financial goals. This needs better labeling and a better publisher's tag line.

If I had been looking for this kind of thing it would have been fine, but it wasn't targeted for what I was expecting. It wasn't bad, just was poorly categorized.

I guess, if it was on the subject I wanted to hear.

Nothing really needs to be cut, it just needs to be better labeled.

Someone who has small children and who has never ever considered the notion that getting up earlier means you get more done.There were several good suggestions about priorities for parents of young children, and perhaps young parents would glean more.

The narration was horrendous. It sounded like it should have been a children's book. The first few minutes were so bad I almost stopped listening. The content was also incredibly elementary. People do a lot early. Not a new concept. Some of the research and studies were interesting, but they would be more tolerated if read in their original outputs.

Inflection and emphasis would be more appropriate for children as an audience. Incredibly slow in the sentence to sentence transitions. Had to speed up my Audible narrator speed to 2x just to get the content to what I would call normal. There is a reason authors are not narrators by trade, and this just does not work at all. The author sounded sleepy, and there was no passion at all in her tone. The nature of this content should be narrated by someone who is energetic and enthusiastic, not lilting and sing-song.

Frustration, impatience, and much eye-rolling.

If someone truly has never considered the notion that go-getters and winners get up earlier than others and make choices to accomplish big tasks early, this would be a good introduction to the topic.

Lost interest halfway through. Took awhile to get used to a female narrator as this was my first. A female narrating male dialogue was a little strange.

Yes, I have liked James Patterson's other books.

It was okay

no
