Amazing teachings!

I really loved this book! Sean is so great speaker and good to inspire others. I didn’t know what to expect but I was very happy that I bought this book and I will buy also this in Kindle format.

This is a great book to everyone who wants to change their lives and live more fulfilling life.

Surprisingly Enjoyable!

Any additional comments?

This book helped me get out of a minor depression I was experiencing due to a painful medical issue. Some times I find motivational speakers annoying, but, for me, he was very compassionate, realistic, nonjudgmental, and even fun in his point of view and advice. I also really enjoyed his warm, cheerful voice, and I'm glad he didn't hire a different reader as one reviewer suggested. It wouldn't have been as powerful and experience without Sean's actual voice. Thank you Sean, for your honesty, openness and wisdom!

Success or failure is up to you!

Sean uses good personal stories and psychology to clearly delineate how anyone can get unstuck andnm turn trials into Triumph!

Truly Fantastic

An excellent book. I cannot reccommend highly enough. Sean was a powerful man with huge intelligence and passion. A master of connection.

Highly Recommended -- Delivers as Promised

There are those books that you listen to once, forget about, and move on. There are other books -- a much rarer find -- that you look forward to listening to again and again. This is one of those audiobooks that I look forward to listening to many times over for years to come.

I am always on the lookout for information/techniques to improve my effectiveness in both my professional and my personal life. This audiobook very delivers on all counts.

What separates this book from others in the genre is the very well thought out structure of the material, the care that he has taken in choosing supporting examples, the very specific tools provided, and the narration itself. Each topic is clearly broken down, with several concrete examples to drive the point home. Then, Sean provides very specific methods/tools to deal with each challenge being discussed. This is a no nonsense audiobook that respects the listener's time -- it is certainly not filled with fluff and/or shameless self-promotion.

Regarding the narration, I found it to be excellent. The fact that Sean Stephenson decided to narrate the book himself adds a level of authenticity and realism that otherwise would not have been possible, in my opinion. I found Mr. Stephenson's narration skills to be one of the highlights of this work. I hope he writes many more books in the future, and narrates each one.

I will be purchasing this book for friends and family. It has my highest recommendation.

Life changing

Despite what a lot of reviews say Sean absolutely needed to be the narrator. His story and ability to give examples and provide the get off you but exercise helped me think about how I am approaching my life.

Mindset is everything!

I'm going to share this book with anyone I know that is in there own way. His exercises at the end of each chapter are worth 10 times the price of this book. Pick it up, you won't be disappointed.
