Critic reviews

"Life in Half a Second is a powerful book in every way. Read the first chapter to see what I mean." ( Andrew Griffiths, International bestselling author)
"The smallest of human beings can achieve the greatest of deeds – Life in Half a Second provides interesting ideas on how it's done." ( Lech Walesa, President of Poland and Nobel Peace Prize winner)

Usually there is a single one element I can point in each great book I have read and say "this is the thing that change me, this one thing I will remember". However with Life in Half a Second it is impossible for me to indicate only one concept - almost each chapter made me stop and digest, think, reflect or simply wait until goose bumps fade away. This is despite the fact I have travelled self development journey a long time now.
It feels so great seeing yourself to pause the audio every so often and jumping into the action because what you hear is so so so inspiring.
I will be listening to this many many times to no end...
For now I can state without shadow of a doubt that the book has changed my life for the better and I thank you Mateusz for giving me this experience :)
Lets do some action!
Sincerely, Lukasz

Mateusz you are awesome!

Excellent. Ignore the irrelevant negative reviews. Seeing Mathew talk at a KPI event and reading his book is the reason I made it as a pilot. Thank you.

Simple uncomplicated advice that is broken down into achievable steps. This book came along at just the right time for me as I was feeling like I was at a bit of a crossroads, nearly 40 with lots of goals I still want to achieve. The half a second analogy was a much needed kick up the bum and the way the author writes is very relatable. He has an unusual accent too that made me listen all the harder.

This book is a great listen and it’s nice having it narrated by the author who is easy to listen to and really brings it to life and puts proper passion behind it. I’ve read so many of these type of books and this is one of the very best. Thanks so much Matthew michalwicz
