Disappointing. A thinly-veiled sales tool.
With all due respect to the life hardships that some of the authors (incredibly) lived through, this book was so disappointing because I felt like I had paid for the privilege of being sold to - hour after hour of this audiobook. Unfortunately, all the authors (excluding two or three) seemed to confuse this book with their day-to-day role of selling their courses/programs/services to people who read/watch/listen for free. Lesson to the authors? The patience for sales pitches is a lot lower when you've paid for something.
Sadly, the book was also laced with so many sales cliches about the authors' new "mission-driven" businesses (e.g. "love and abundance", "my calling", "God spoke to me", "helping your clients make investments in themselves", and you need to "be in service") that it felt like a broken record from the motivational conferences I'd been to (both in the US and in Australia). It felt inauthentic.
If the authors truly wanted to "serve" us listeners with this audiobook, they should have only mentioned their business/offering briefly, and then shown humility for the rest of the time. If listeners wanted to know more (and remember, we listeners are already motivated enough to pay to listen to this book), there's a high chance we'll look up the businesses anyway.
Final thought: Do the guests on Guy Raz's "How I Built This" podcast try and sell to that audience? No. Never. Those guests demonstrate humility and gratitude - and because their humility is so endearing, listeners look up their businesses afterwards and often buy their products/services.
Disclaimer: I appreciate the effort that went into producing this book, so I don't write this review lightly. (I don't recall the last time I ever wrote a negative review online - if I've ever even written one at all). But, I feel strongly that I don't want the next reader/listener to buy this unless they're given a heads up first, so expectations are clear, and they can make a balanced decision before their purchase.
