As Expected

This audio book met my expectations. It was about 10 hours of success oriented book summaries (listed at http://www.butler-bowdon.com/success-classics-list.html). The choice of books that were summarized seemed thoughtfully selected, and the narrator did a fine job reading. Now I feel more prepared as I choose other books in this genre for further reading.

Excellent!!

I enjoyed this book every step of the way. It's very well narrated and a good summary of past self-development classics. I found myself nodding in agreement with most of was being said and I'm glad that I can listen to the audiobook over and over again. Highly recommended!! Get it!!

Trailer

I have read some of these "success classics" books before I bought "50 Success Classics". I found the summarisation in this audiobook extremely good. It removed a lot of mental clutter. Very useful for the busy executive who wants to get gist of classic in 10 minutes or so. I strongly recommended for anyone who wants to start exploring the Audible world.

this book should be your first read

I had read some of the books encompassed in this volume and the condense version was on point. i wish i would have read this book first.

Very inspiring and equips me to go further

I got the new updated edition of the book to read along as I listened to the audio book (though the book is slightly different than the audio).
The book is very inspiring to go through and because of all the other titles it references, this book equips you to go further in your education on the subjects discussed. If you want to expand your mind and creative powers, you won't regret reading or listening to THIS book.

A must listen

There was so much info that i'm going to have to go back and take notes (when i have 10 hours to go back) This is a great way to get "cliff notes" of 50 great books... a great way to find out a little about a lot and if you want more info, you can go out and buy the book. i found out that a lot of "success books" coming out these days are rehashes of thoughts published many many years ago! highly recommend... i just got 50 selfhelp and 50 psychology greats.... on to my next!

Absolutely a Pleasure to Listen to.

I discovered several books I hadn't heard about before and have added them to my list of purchases to make. The narrator Richard Davidson has a great voice that flows through the 10 hours of reading. I highly recommend it

"Sampler"

This was a fantastic resource. These 50 books all have different approaches and characteristics, and Butlter-Bowdin's descriptions helped me choose which books to persue in greater detail. I regularly listen to this audio to get new ideas for my next selections. Some of the books are a little harder to find than others, but this audio helps you decide which are worth the effort. Highly recommended.

very good

If you like books in a nutshell without the fluff - you'll like all the titles in this series.

Like sampling candy

I was looking for another book and stumbled upon this book. This has proven to be by far one of the best books I’ve listened to. You can test drive 50 books in one, what's not to like.
I felt like I was at a smorgasbord; I could sample a little of this a little of that. After listening to this audio you can purchase authors who really catch your attention. If you like to try before you buy this is it.
