Life changing

I am no longer holding myself hostage

I have now listened and re-listened to this book several times. It is a great book as a leader, but also just for myself. It has been incredibly eye opening and helpful for me.

Revealing, very helpful!

I liked it even more because I started reading this for my job and it ended being very helpful un all aspectos of my life.

Great content

I really enjoyed the way the term hostage was used in reference to the self. There is a lot of very valuable information in this book. I do think someone else should’ve narrated, but the message was solid.

Great Insight for human relationships of all kinds

Mr. Kohlrieser uses his experience as a psychologist and hostage negotiator to demonstrate clear strategies for not becoming a hostage in business, family relationships and more. A very interesting approach to teaching communication skills, boundaries. deescalation and many other valuable skills for navigating life. Bravo!

The content was good

The content was good, the speaker did a few repeated sentences, and read just a bit too slow for me. However, this content as others have said before is definitely valuable and life changing if applied.
