Self-help ✦ Penny’s Take 🎧 Audiobook
The Asset Mindset
Daniel Fielding · 2023
🎙 Narrated by Daniel Fielding (author-narrated)
46/100
👎 Skip It
Daniel Fielding's Green Beret story has real motivating energy, but the actual advice underneath comes across as vague and, per several reviewers, a little naive about why people actually struggle. One passing example touching on abuse gets an uncomfortably simple 'find the silver lining' treatment that's worth knowing about going in. Fielding narrates it himself with steady conviction, though the delivery can't make up for the thinness of the content.
✦ Penny’s Take — this is The Review Group’s own editorial assessment. Penny’s analytical review line researched this book from real sources and scored it across the lenses shown below. It’s an honest first-party read — not a page-by-page personal one. The gold ✓ Penny Tested mark is reserved for books Penny reads cover to cover herself.
⚠ Parent note — our reviewers flagged: Passing anecdote touching on sexual abuse handled with an oversimplified 'find the positive' framing, per reviewer criticism. We still scored it 46; these are context for your family, not an automatic skip.
