212 The Extra Degree

De: Sam Parker, Mac Anderson

Narrado por: Derek Shetterly

At 211º water is hot. At 212º, it boils. And with boiling water, comes steam. And steam can power a locomotive. It's that one extra degree that makes all the difference. Use this powerful metaphor to reach new heights.

A lot of what you should be doing…

Story has a lot of what you should be doing. It doesn’t really explain a way to change your mindset into how to create a habit to achieve that “should be doings.” very short, so can be digested in an afternoon. But more of an appetizer, then a main course.

Great reminders

Reminders of the simple things that we don't do on a consistent basis but we should.

Simple, yet effective food for thought...

Narrator was well-spoken. The book content is simple and effective.
I don't usually write reviews but 212° has accomplished it's goal, to motivate me in "going the extra-mile...

Powerful Must Read

This short explosive book challenges its reader to excel in every area of life.

Amazingly Inspiring

What made the experience of listening to 212 The Extra Degree the most enjoyable?

It motivates you to go the extra mile to accomplish tasks.

What did you like best about this story?

I liked the analogy of likening hard work and effort to turning up the temperature on your effort or drive, so that your energy to achieve goals bubbles like boiling water.

Did you have an extreme reaction to this book? Did it make you laugh or cry?

No. It reinforced those things that I already knew. It was a common sense approach to working on your life's goals and objectives, but most of all, it reminded me that I must push through when I'm discouraged.

Love This Mentality

I really liked the message of this book. It’s relative to all walks of life personally and professionally. It’s about effort and doing that little extra and really drives home the point that it really is that little extra than can be responsible for great accomplishments.

Worth the 39 minutes

212 degrees deals w taking the extra 1% effort to make a change or winning your goals. Sometimes it’s good to listen to a reminder for a motivational push on your day or a goal.

Underwhelming

the book begins with a very compelling metaphor boiling water but that is as far as it goes. I went away from this audiobook feeling underwhelmed.

Powerful, Impactful

sometimes we assume that we need a really long book to get a point across. sometimes we think we need to read three or four or more just to have a better understanding of the topic. 212 degrees simplifies it in one of the most powerful ways I have ever heard. I am definitely a junkie of mindset and self-help books. I strongly desire to improve my performance in anything that I take the time to do. I just finished the book and now I plan on listening to it again because there was so much, so simple, in such a short time that's I feel like he said everything that needed to be said followed by a mic drop. I plan on sharing this book with everybody on our sales team. this was powerful.

Great points to live by

I wish the book could have been longer. It was full of great points to produce an amazing life.
