7 hours less narcissism and stories would be great

Honest view is that you can learn a few good tips from this guy....if you are a salesman. He begins by saying everyone can benefit from this book even for their family and friend relationships. The book quickly becomes targeted at salesmen and especially American men. I doubt women would align with most things he says especially when he keeps calling the listener "dude" and trying to get a girlfriend. I'm a guy so perhaps the last comment is skewed coming from me. One of the things i liked the least is he attempts to sell his other services over and over. Great salesman? Annoying and turns me off. In my view the book consists of the below:-
50% rambling and repeating the same thing.
25% boring stories about the author and how you should live like him and stop anything else you are doing.
15% useful content
10% enjoyable easy going listening

so its not all bad by any means but I would prefer to read the top ten tips and follow them instead of have them drummed into my head past boredom.

Insidiously plugging scientology on you

What could have made this a 4 or 5-star listening experience for you?

Leaving scientology out.

What could Grant Cardone have done to make this a more enjoyable book for you?

Leaving scientology out.

What three words best describe Grant Cardone’s performance?

scientology like.

If you could play editor, what scene or scenes would you have cut from Sell or Be Sold: How to Get Your Way in Business and in Life?

The scientology part.

Any additional comments?

The more I think about it, the more annoyed I get. When he mentions "Dianetics" in one of the last chapters, I don't know what he's talking about, but when he mentions this book is written by L. Ron. Hubbard, that gets my attention.

I normally make a rule to live and let live when it comes to religion. I have my opinions, and I keep them to myself, mostly. Even when it comes to such a ridiculous "religion" as scientology.

This is crossing the line, and then pissing on it. I will be asking for a refund.

An Absolute Must Listen!

If you could sum up Sell or Be Sold: How to Get Your Way in Business and in Life in three words, what would they be?

Eye-opening
Inspiring
motivational

What did you like best about this story?

I dont work in a direct sales related role however this book goes into detail about how selling isnt just limited to a job role. The teachings in this book apply to all of us and trust me when you take on the info in this book you start to see real change in your life, I have.

Have you listened to any of Grant Cardone’s other performances? How does this one compare?

Ive listened to all his audio books and his latest seminar and one thing I am impressed with is that with Grant there is absolutely no filler; From start to finish this book is outstanding.

Did you have an emotional reaction to this book? Did it make you laugh or cry?

People may laugh but this is amongst a few books that have actually changed the way I see the world. This book amongst GC's others have honestly changed my life and saved me from a dark place.

Any additional comments?

If you are in any doubt about this book then just check out Grant Cardones Free content on YouTube and his website and you can check him out before this book. Trust me.. You will not regret it.

Wow - great book

The only reason I gave this book 5 stars is because 6 wasn't an option on the review

Rubbish

Oh my God... purchased this to do some research for a training initiative.
You get the odd gem but generally it's hours.... AND hours of Grant Cardone justifying in so many different ways why he is a fantastic salesman. Occasionally the maths doesn't add up (ie, selling fish) which takes away from the credibility coupled with Grants terrible delivery style makes this a really painfully listen.

waffle

some good tips and motivational content but mostly waffle and could be compressed into 30 mins of actual meat on the bones.
