Brilliant book.

Many self improvement books tend to preach.. This is the first one I've read that doesnt..
Easy to listen to, because each day is effectively a chapter/ segment, you can EASILY dip in and out of it. Loved the way that each has a quote, an idea and some theory, and like a menu you simply pick and try what works for you. Top book!

Good messages, terrible narrator

Really hard to continue listening to this narrator, such a boring, sleepy and unenthusiastic voice

Don’t expect to agree with everything…

… Martin Meadows writes in his book but that does not make it any less valuable. Actually, this is one of the assets of his books. He makes you question common ways of thinking and behavior.
A lot of interesting gems inside, a lot of advice worth giving a try. I am certainly glad that Martin asked me to listen to his book with a request for an honest review and I am quite sure to come back to it in the future.

Appalling: a self help book read by a robot

An emotionless, monotonous reading by an electronic reading machine makes this the least engaging book I've ever come across. Maybe my car's flakey CPU will get more benefit? Just don't bother... The content may be excellent, but you just won't care - sorry, Martin, you should have more pride in your work.

Wish I'd had the self discipline not to get this

Just a series of poorly written homespun, obvious, cliches. I was looking forward to this for long car journeys and the like. Should've known better.

The last straw was day was week 10, 64. I was getting ready to congratulate myself on having the discipline to resist my better judgement for so long when he quoted Ben Carson, yes that Ben Carson. Some nonsense about describing challenges in life as hurdles rather than obstacles, because, you know, obstacles are hard to get past, while hurdles, well, aren't or something.

My self help tip, save yourself the cash or credit, and go and ask the nearest grown-up you like and respect. You might not get great wisdom, or searing intellect, but neither will you be patronised or conned by meaningless rubbish.

Does not work as an audiobook.

Listened on the official Audible App on my android phone. The most important and incredibly irritating thing is that it is not split into 365 little sections. For example, chapter 2 covers not day 2, or week 2 or even month 2, it just covers a chunk of the book. I was hoping to press play in the morning and listen to one day's tip, then be able to stop it easily and save the next day's entry for the day after. Unfortunately, unless you stand there over your phone poised ready to press pause, this is impossible. I was thinking that if they had done them as 365 chapters and you went over by a few seconds into the next chapter, you could press the usual button to take you back to the start of that chapter, but no. Your only option is to use the button that takes you back 30 seconds, or 60 seconds etc. Which then means you have to listen to half of the last day's entry again before getting to the day you want. It just doesn't work in this format. Probably better as a physical book that you can leave next to your bed and just read a page/day when you wake up in the morning. And content-wise it is very much the same as all his other books. There is nothing new to be learned here if you have already read "Grit, how to keep going" or any of his other books about self discipline. Having read a couple of his books cover to cover, I thought this would be a good way to top up/keep fresh some of the useful tips I read previously. Unfortunately I gave up after 20 days of entry. It didn't help that the person narrating had a boring monotone delivery either.

Very boring

You will probably need enormous self discipline to listen to all of this, I did and it was not an enjoyable experience, this book is very repetitive and drawn out, 365 chapters of introspective drivel might be a bit harsh but it’s what come to mind when I think of the time I wasted trying to get through it all hoping for some revelatory insight that wasn’t really there
