Ray Porter was born to narrate this book

I have listened through this audiobook probably 6 times now. Each time I learn something new or see something different. I cannot praise the narration enough by Ray Porter; he is spot on. This book has changed my life in many ways and I hope it will do the same for you!

Absolutely inspirational

Some of the content is now a bit dated, and many prescriptions seem to ignore some of the implicit costs that this kind of lifestyle generates but the concepts and theories presented are rock solid and should enhance efficiency for any reader
