thank you.

I enjoyed listening to this book. I started listening when I had a very long commute. i finished days later with only listening when I drove. I heard some things that kept me processing the message through out the day.

Fundamental book for achievers

Great book providing radically different perspective compared to media. It gave me a fresh view how to look on my life and what I want to achieve. I will never look at masters the same way and I want to become one!

Sorry, Audible.I did not enjoy this program.

Everything in this book is either related to martial arts or sports. If you are not at all interested in martial arts or sports this book might not be for you. Personally, I found it mind numbing and painful.

30 years old

I enjoyed the briefness and simplicity. Many familiar ideas if you’ve read about mastery in more recent books: Journey not destination, resistance, beginner’s mindset, and grit.

Good message, not a fan of the delivery

Resonated with general message but too much law of attraction and Chi talk at end.

A great succinct book on life and learning.

A great little book that teaches you about life, and learning, and how to stay on course. And if you really want to be good at what you do and learn, never skip practice.
