About this listen

"While the history books are filled with tales of obsessive visionary geniuses who remade the world in their images with sheer, almost irrational force, I've found that history is also made by individuals who fought their egos at every turn, who eschewed the spotlight, and who put their higher goals above their desire for recognition." (From the prologue)

Good, interesting listen. Solid overall. Some parts I would disagree with but more often than not provides some great insights and I will be putting much of what I've learned into practise.

Someone please recommend this to Donald Trump.

I wish Donald Trump would read this.

Invaluable lessons! The attitude shift doesn't come easy but is worth it. I think it would have read just as well without the occasional swearing :D

Great narrator, really benefitted from the lessons

Nice book with lots of examples to appeal to a wide audience. There isn't really anything original or Ground breaking but it's still worth a listen as these ideas are good to be reminded of.

Good reminders but nothing ground breaking

This is an important book - I am reluctant to call anything a must read, as if all must reads were actually must reads we’d have no time for anything else. If you are looking for strategies to the top, hoping to manage your success or reflecting on failure this is the book for you.

Perspective altering
