Loved it!

I really enjoyed listening to this audiobook. I earned so much about Alex! Great job!

Very insightful life views. Awesome narration too

After a while listening to fiction novels, I have decided to try method audiobooks and, man, is this audiobook refreshing! The author goes over essential life tips, yet some of them are taken for granted by people, and this publication readdresses them with practical examples: gain knowledge, it's who you know, the more you know, surround yourself people who help you grow. I actually love it there are some f-bombs mixed up here and there. In this case, it adds a genuine touch of realism; as does the very wise narrator pick. The narrator has that 20s voice that incorporates authenticy to each statement and fully inspires. I took a thing or two out of this one. Highly recommendable.

Great lesson's

This is a fun and insightful book. I enjoyed the voice of the reader which always makes a audio book a success. I think this book belongs on all the shelves in schools and youth centers. Very positive and good advice that young adults need to know.

Worthy of your time, good advice, and interesting

I was given this free review copy audiobook at my request and have voluntarily left this review.
After the first 3 mins of "...not being responsible..." and 'use at your own risk...', I was wondering what could warrant such a strong preventive measure. I found the book to have several good tips and enjoyed listening, but found the occasional use of strong language a distraction. I am not against the use of such language but choose not to use the words my self.
A good book for anyone looking for a positive change in their life.
I do not regret listening to it and found it humorous some of the time. Certainly agree with the authors' ideas and opinions on how a person can change their lifestyle, financial situation and relationships. I found the advice on being with your family worthwhile and letting the people who help you know you are grateful.
The narration was performed very well and had a good conversational tone.
A++

Amazing

One of my favorite books. I was really intrigued while reading. If you haven’t read this book I highly recommend trying it out.

Great Book!

I was impressed by this book. I thought it would be all about Weird shit he did as a teenager and I was completely wrong. The author has got his head on straight. He has great insights as to what people should act like. Truly liked it a lot.

"This book was given to me for free at my request and I provided this voluntary review."

I wish I listened to this before college

this is a book I would recommend to anyone who is about to graduate high school and venture onto the next chapter of their lives. I know I could of used it. the book speaks to practical challenges that every millennial and gen z person will inevitably face.

Amazing Life Story and Life Advice

I found the 20 + 1 lessons that Alex shared amazing. They are very useful for me that am starting my life on my own. From financial advice to life advice, the book covers it all and Alex share interesting stories and perspectives that made me rethink the way I do a lot of thinks in my life. This book should definitely make into you library.

Motivational & must read/Listen for young entrepreneurs!

When I was listening to this book, I was struck by the sheer accomplishment of it... A motivational book written by a 20 year old!You have to be amazed by the achievement and maturity of someone so young. When I was that age I don’t believe i was self aware enough to show the perspective Alex shows in the contents of this book. ** Book contains some salty language, but it doesn’t distract from the messaging **. The narrator also does a splendid job! Well done Alex and Andrew !

A good reminder

Listening to Alex Alexander Trubnikov's book, I often felt like I was listening to myself, to what I believe is important to have a happy, successful life, and what I'd definitely advise to others myself - and yet, these are the things I often forget to live by myself. "20 Lessons" is not rocket science - these are not something you've never heard about, one simple trick, a magical secret, that will suddenly change your life forever when you discover it; it's a set of honest, real-life advice, backed by the author's personal experiences and explanations why they're so important. Each chapter of the book is one lesson, and all of them are something everyone should know and follow - but it's easier said than done, and also easy to forget - so I'm glad I gave this book a listen. It's a good reminder of what it takes to live a satisfying, fulfilled life, of all the actions that need taking - don't think just reading books is enough, you need to actually follow the advice given and do the work!

There were some parts where Trubnikov didn't explain how he got there from the point where his readers might be, and I caught myself wondering once, "but how do I do that?", almost falling into the trap of not doing it at all just because of that - but, guess what, if you know what you need to do, and just don't know how, there's the whole Internet out there to look for answers. For anyone reading this who might be struggling with not knowing how to do something, or wanting to start something, but lacking the inspiration, motivation, or the right time - google up Mel Robbins' TED talk "How to stop screwing yourself over". Good luck!

Back to the book, I find it helpful and know a few people who could definitely use it; I'm not sure if it'd be as helpful to someone who is only beginning to think about improving their life, as it's a condensed set of advice, not a step-by-step how-to, or to someone sceptical about personal development - but if you're on this website, reading reviews, I guess you actually want to give it a try. I only wish the author shared a bit more of his story - don't get me wrong, he did share a lot - but some lessons were left without much personal context. If you're getting it, I'd recommend going back to it from time to time, or writing the lessons themselves down and reviewing them often, not to forget to apply them in real life - I'll do so!
