Ok content, weird production
Some of the individual "takaways" (the top 10 lists by the subjects) are interesting and there's enough variety in the subjects. Unfortunately the narration quality is all over the place and each chapter concludes with lists of trivia that are obnoxious. It's not a bad book, but probably better browsed in a book store on paper, or bought if it comes on sale. Not worth a whole credit.

chapter 2 pretty much sums it up
Would you recommend this book to a friend? Why or why not?
There are insightful stories but I was a little thrown off by how much the 2nd chapter goes over the stories. I felt like I listened to it twice.
Would you recommend The Art of Doing to your friends? Why or why not?
If someone was looking for a good variety of mini bios and had the time, they might find it interesting.
Did The Art of Doing inspire you to do anything?
Yes
Any additional comments?
Probably better in print, so much information. I'd rather just read it and take notes
