- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5Loved it. This is like a science backed recipe book for life, and even if you are someone who studies a lot and reads a lot of self help books, you're still going to find a thing or two in each chapter that makes you stop and rethink what you've been doing.

- Rating: 3 out of 5 stars3/5Good info but in 2023, many references are dated. The author does insert himself and experiences a lot. I listened to this on a faster speed, took some notes where I found something new, and skimmed or skipped a handful of chapters .
