Should have got the book this time

This is a great book but not a great audible book. Because it is designed to primarily a work book it is difficult to listen to and not at all effective. Get the book in paper and skip the audio version.

Audio - not for this book

This is a great book, but it requires so much in-depth thought and asks so many questions that it is really not suitable, in my opinion, for audio format. This type of book must actually be read by turning pages

Not suitable for Audible

This is more of a workbook than anything else, so I encourage folks to purchase a paper or eBook version of it. Content is great, just not a good fit for Audio.

Not an appropriate book for audio format

The book is OK, nothing special, but there are too many exercises for audio format.

Good book but not to listen

The book propose a lot of exercises that you need to have a pen and paper, in my case I listen to books on my way to work so I can’t do what is needed

Just ok...NOT for Audible

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

I wish I'd know this was a highly interactive written "work"book. I only listen in my car so I didn't get as much out of this book. And I just thought it was so-so in general.

What could the authors have done to make this a more enjoyable book for you?

I wonder if the "work" part of it is available online? Some of the book has you write out a ton of stuff. Even if I were not in the car, it would be annoying to write out.
