    compared to most modern audio books

    Where does The Magic of Thinking Big rank among all the audiobooks you’ve listened to so far?

    It actually sounds like you are listening to well done audio program as opposed to some boring monotone recording... multiple voices/ points of view

    What was one of the most memorable moments of The Magic of Thinking Big?

    keeps you paying attention because of the change of pace

    Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting?

    most definitely... however there is so much info that you have to pause and really think about.

    Any additional comments?

    This is my 13th audible book and roughly about 50th audio book I've ever listened to, and by far this is the best format... and most engaging book.

    Awesome content and amazing delivery

    One of the few books that break up content into logical parts with sounds (chimes, blings type bookmarks). Makes it easier to know when the author is going to start a new topic or when he's recapping a topic.
