Must read for high achievers

I was initially skeptical I could learn anything new having read many business and self help books. But this book gets at the heart of how to live AND succeed with peace, authenticity, and ease. Give it a listen and keep your heart and mind open.

Needs a new narrator! Keren, please narrate.

I purchased this for a road trip. I was so excited because Keren Eldad is an amazing speaker. When I pressed play, I was surprised because I was expecting Keren's voice. Sadly, no, it is not Keren. That's okay, I thought, it will be great anyways. But again, sadly, no. The narrator sounds like a robot who over-enunciates and places emphasis on the wrong words in sentences making the story clunky and disjointed. Bad tone, no flow, poor delivery. It is so distracting to listen to that I can't finish the book. I've had to start over or rewind several times because the bad narration causes my mind to drift away.

Overall and Story ratings: There isn't a way for me to assess the story because the narration is so bad that I can't get through the audiobook. I will return this if the narration isn't updated. If there is new narration, I will listen again and update my review.
