Not one...but 9 classics on achieving prosperity!

Everyone deserves to be rich...this outstanding collection of motivational classics takes the mystery out of prosperity and teaches listeners how to achieve the riches they deserve. It's a collection that has enriched millions over the years. It's interesting, motivating, and I highly recommend it!

Couldn't absorb it or finish listening

The performance is as bad as everyone says. I tried to power through and just hear the good nuggets in the books but I gave up and bought Acres of Diamonds by itself. I found this book by searching for that book. Bummer I can't get the credit back.

Don't buy it. Very bad performance!

The voiceover is very poor. He reads very fast, without any inflexion or emotion. These are great classics but the performance is so bad that it is almost imposible to hear.

I regret buying it!

Don't know if this is a good book or not...

This book wasn’t for you, but who do you think might enjoy it more?

Narrators are so crucial for success of audiobooks. I am a fan of personal and professional development books but could not get past the horrible choice for narration in the first section. His voice has nice tones, but was too monotonous and poorly enunciated for this subject. This style would be a fabulous narrator for self hypnosis or relaxation material. I was so busy being bored, I have no idea what the book content really included.

Waste of a credit

The narration takes classics and turns them into boring information. Buy the books -- read them yourself -- the information is good, the delivery is awful.

What variety!

I thought the narrator was very hard to understand because many of the stories or books are really pretty old. There was no way to bring this forward and apply it to modern day life. The use of words that we no longer use in modern day speech made this seem very dated. I would save my money and spent it instead on something written in the last 5 years.

The Secretes of Success: Eight Self Help Classics

I wish I would have read the reviews. Great classics horribly narrated. Wasted credit. I'm starting the third book of eight and it has turned into a grind to listen.....not sure if I'll make it through all eight books because of the narrator.
