Some good stuff, some not

Would you recommend this book to a friend? Why or why not?

I wouldn't recommend this to a friend. It seems like it's written as advice to the author's teenage child. from a very cynical father. It's basically organized as "here's how you're going to get screwed; here's how I dealt with it."

How would you have changed the story to make it more enjoyable?

Maybe given some useful advice, versus "stay away from this, stay away from that"

How did the narrator detract from the book?

Wow, the narration was AWFUL!!! I mean, bless the little actor's heart, he put his heart and soul into acting out the book in the most dramatic fashion. Trouble is, it's a non-fiction book. His interpretation was way off. His voice sounded like Bea Aurthur from the Golden Girls or something. So, imagine, Bea Aurthur dramatically acting out a reading of the newspaper. You'll get the idea.

Don’t Waste your time

Don’t waste your time. This Gus has a huge ego and espouses radical views. He is a climate change denier. He opposes all discrimination laws. A thoroughly despicable person.

Very libertarian

I was very surprised to see such a clear reason for libertarianism. I’d leave a longer review touting how good it is but I’m picking my kids up from camp

looking out for #1

great philosophy and thoughts the author has on life and experiences love his books great narrator

could have been just me

I picked up a few good nuggets from this book but it was really hard to stay focus. I might read it again later to see if I can grasp it better

Credit well-spent

Well-developed subject matter. Interesting insights. Comprehensively covered key life areas. Smooth flow. Good narration. I like all of Ringer's books. A good one to go with this would be Million Dollar Habits (also Ringer).

Inspiring

Loved this audible. Very stunning and entertaining. Helped me realize the trouble I was about to get myself into over a relationship that involved me compromising and doing all the work.
