62/100
πŸ‘Ž Skip It

It's a bestseller for a reason, and Burchard's energetic self-narration matches his coaching persona well. But critics fairly call parts of it a remix of ideas from Covey and Burchard's own earlier books, and readers flag it leans hard into upselling his paid programs, which drags down the actual listening experience. Fine if you haven't read much in this genre yet, skippable if you have.
