👎 Skip It
101 tips is a lot of ground for under three hours, and I like that it opens by correcting real misconceptions before diving in — the DIY, no-paid-help angle is a fair pitch too. But the author's output (100-plus self-published books spanning fitness and finance) makes me wonder how deep any single tip really goes, and there's no independent reception to lean on. No solid read on the narration either.
