Disappointing

I wasn't thrilled about this book. I don't believe there is ever a need to swear just to make an impact. I also don't think any kind of deception should be used either. I did get some tips though so not totally a waste but it did not meet my expectations at all

not well thought through

long winded and not much substance.
it was like the author had taken several ideas from other books and joined them into this one book without understanding the concept behind the points he was making.

I didn't get anything from this book and would not recommend.

Some great tips

This was a great listen with some great tips, bus I will probably only takeaway about 40% of the content. that doesn't mean it wasn't more than 50% useful, that's 40% more knowledge than what I had originally.
An easy listen, usefully laid out knowledge, definitely worthwhile.
