Equanimity: Conquering Mt. Entrepreneur
Dave Blanchard · 2025
🎙 Narrated by Dave Blanchard (self-narrated)
66/100
👎 Skip It
Dave Blanchard's mountain-climbing allegory for entrepreneurship is a memorable device and readers do call it genuinely motivating, but it trades a concrete playbook for parable, so it won't satisfy anyone wanting step-by-step tactics. He narrates it himself and it reportedly comes through as compelling, so the listen itself holds up better than the depth of the advice does.

🎙 Narration: good Self-narrated by the author; another author's blurb calls his speaking voice compelling, though that's not a direct review of this audiobook's narration.
