One of the top audio's I have heard this year. So many great actionable advice on decision making provided in an engaging format. While it is hard to remember all of them you don't have to. They have the main points summarized on-line for those who purchase their audio. While I have heard bits and pieces of many of these ideas in other audio books this one brought the best ones together and was able to expand on them. If you enjoyed their previous work (Made to Stick or Switch) then you will not be disappointed by Decisive. Unlike many other authors each book is very different and they do not repeat themselves.

Offers some great tells when someone maybe lying as well as some insights into effective ways of asking questions. It is short with some good stories. Forbes has a good review.

Excellent introduction into the Maker movement. He thinks there will be a new industrial revolution caused by personal manufacturing which will be similar to what happened with the computer revolution. We are at the very beginning. His prediction that this new technology will bring jobs back from overseas is an encouraging one. He also applies his insights from his previous works Free and The Long Tail (both are must reads) to this topic.
Some great reviews are online.

This audio delivers on its title. He argues against following your passion to find the ideal job and instead believes that passion comes after you already become excellent at something.
Very easy to follow and I like how he ties ideas from many other contemporary authors into his work.
I was surprised by how young the author is. Highly recommended for anyone who is planning their career.
A few good summaries of the audio.

Very little new and is too basic. Expressed a few points on voice, breathing, facial expressions and body language very well. Does not live up to the title or what was advertised.

Great book on question thinking. It describes how a few key questions you ask yourself and others can change your emotion, how you relate to others and your actions. While I did not like the authors attempt to make a thin plot story to describe her theory, at least she tied it all together in the last chapter and has free material on her web site that helps you implement what you heard.

When I hear something is free my guard goes up, however this book changed that prejudice. If you liked The Long Tail then you will love this book. He goes further into exploring the economy of abundance by focusing on free in detail. Free is not new and he explores its history, the many new ways it is used, in what situations it works best, what all parties gain from it, how it changes industry and how you can use it. One of the best books I read this year.
