Finance ✦ Penny’s Take 🎧 Audiobook
the 21 Irrefutable Laws of Leadership
John C. Maxwell · 2020
🎙 Narrated by John C. Maxwell and Henry O. Arnold (25th Anniversary edition)
76/100
👍 Worth It
This is the Maxwell classic for a reason — the 'law' structure sticks in your head and the examples range from sports to the military to the boardroom. It leans on anecdote more than data and some laws feel like familiar business-book territory, but the 25th-anniversary edition with Maxwell's own added reflections is genuinely worth hearing in his own voice.

▶ Listen to a sample
🎙 Narration: good Maxwell narrates alongside veteran Henry O. Arnold, adding personal commentary after each law — a nice bonus for listeners of this edition.
