68/100
👎 Skip It
Penny here — Christopher Littlestone's real Green Beret background gives this some genuine weight, and the 13-chapter, one-mindset-per-chapter structure is easy to follow. But there's no real critical coverage to lean on beyond retail listings, so I'm taking the strong parts on faith a bit; the author-narration should land fine given his authenticity, though I can't confirm the polish.

🎙 Narration: unknown Author-narrated, which should add authenticity given his real Special Forces background, but no independent performance review was found.
