The Third Door: The Mindset of Success
Alex Banayan · 2018
🎙 Narrated by Alex Banayan (self-narrated)
76/100
👍 Worth It
Banayan's hustle-and-heart quest to learn from Gates, Buffett, and Lady Gaga is genuinely inspiring, even if some readers wish he'd gotten out of his own way a bit more and let his interview subjects shine through. He narrates it himself, and that personal energy is exactly what makes this one worth pressing play on.
