Nothing "goes viral". If you think a popular movie, song, or app came out of nowhere to become a word-of-mouth success in today's crowded media environment, you're missing the real story. Each blockbuster has a secret history - of power, influence, dark broadcasters, and passionate cults that turn some new products into cultural phenomena. In his groundbreaking investigation, Atlantic senior editor Derek Thompson uncovers the hidden psychology of why we like what we like.

You're always coming to the rescue, and you sacrifice yourself over and over again. Albert Piaget analyzes how a relationship could degenerate into codependency, what are some of its devastating effects, and how to overcome this kind of relationship.

This was more than a bland how to guide on the steps needed to be taken to achieve success.
It was enjoyable to listen because Ousala presents us with his very own story. All the steps needed to be taken are given to us in this book, and so is the authors personal wisdom.
This part, to me, is priceless and I am very grateful that such a book exists.

Wow, I couldn't even finish this book it was so uncomfortable to listen to. Very little information is given while the author spends the majority of the book bragging about what kinds of vehicles they were able to buy, and calls their colleagues things like "losers" and "stupid". Also there is some questionable information given about copyright which makes me feel unable to trust the other information included.

Some interesting Info but very repetetive
How long does it take to drive home a point? I found this an OK listen and its well read. The info contained within isn't really anything groundbreaking and I think "secrets" is perhaps the wrong word. It could be summed up as a book that says work hard, use all social media, keep generating content and you'll be successful......now let me tell you all about how successful I am! The difficult part for me in the way that its written is that it does make some decent points sometimes but it then repeats it over and over ad nauseam.
