Don't waste your money. The narration is awful, the content is not delivered engaingly. You'd think a book about storytelling will use stories and be engaging, right? Not this book.

This is the new bible of the modern age, filled with ideas, truths, scientific facts and evidence about the state of our society today.

Everyone should read this book, share with with friends, give it as a gift, discuss it with colleagues.

If you ever in doubt and need a scientific brief to support your common sense position, refer to this book. It has plenty of scientific data.

Douglas Murray is the most clear headed, logical, and intelligent author in the current political environment.

This book should be mandatory reading for Chief People Officers, CEOs, Presidents, Managers, and everyone else.

I’d say politicians, but they probably don’t read books, only Twitter.

Along with this author, everyone should be encouraged to explore the books and ideas of Thomas Sowell.

Because he has skin in the game. And people can see it. Joe Biden has no skin in the game, never did, never will.

Read the book to understand why.

In the beginning it was good, then it turned into a series of lectures without a clear definition of what grand strategy is and what it entails. Last five minutes were good too.

It needs a better structure.

I long felt cynical about leadership in general and was always sceptical about the stories of inspirational leaders. This book have provide me with evidence and data to back up my conclusions.

We need a new look at how leaders are taught.

HBR's 10 Must Reads on Making Smart Decisions Audiobook By Ram Charan, Harvard Business Review, Daniel Kahneman cover art

Would you listen to HBR's 10 Must Reads on Making Smart Decisions again? Why?

Yes, the articles provide insight into decision making processes in organizations and lessons can be applied to personal challenges as well.

What did you like best about this story?

Daniel Kahneman's article "Before you make that big decision"

What didn’t you like about James Edward Thomas’s performance?

It's not so much his performance, as the planning of whole process. I.e. All articles have "aside" sections that summarize the ideas discussed. The narrator reads these without any forethought whatsoever. The page that he's one might have nothing to do with the aside bar, but the minute he finishes the paragraph, he starts reading the aside bar. Aside bars should be read after the concept has been introduced, maybe even at the end of a section. Needs better planning.

Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting?

No
