We all lead to some extent in our lives, these essays equipped me with ideas on how to move past setbacks and how to support myself.

This should have been a free brochure

This is a collection of summaries with almost zero substance. Example story: "boy born poor but made it big", without giving any details or advice on how did he actually make it other than he "overcome all obstacles put in front of him".

wish I never bought this

I just couldn't listen to it. I tried but after 20 minutes it was just not feasible. the tone in which it was read or not sure if it has to do with how it was written, but I couldn't do any more.

Leaves the listener fall asleep

I will not recommend this at all. Very boring and the reader does not makes it even worse. Waste of my time.
