Out of the gate, I wondered if the separate narrators related to the overall topic

Lots of valuable lessons here and very entertaining. The narrator really draws you in and makes it hard to put down! Looking forward to referring back to this one many times again.

Best Book Since Millionaire Next Door

Excellent piece on human behavior as it relates to personal as well as business finance and economics. By far the best book I’ve read since The Millionaire next door; and that says a lot because I read that book at least five times. I also really appreciated the author coming clean on his personal nuances relating to his finances - very cool. What a great read and history lesson. I agree with a lot of the concepts in this book so I could be biased. Huge believer in forgoing today’s desires for tomorrow’s gain in the form of compounding. Also love well below my means, and my wife and I both max our 401ks each year (federal max, NOT employer match max).
Looking forward to reading again.

Interesting story about a successful real estate family in Brooklyn, but beyond that no surprises when it comes to idiosyncratic Donald.

I somewhat interesting story, but after a while I can't tell what more annoying, Lazlo's voice, or the sense of perfectionism that dominates his tone, as if everything Google does is perfect and right(eous). It remind me of that guy/gal whom can't stop talking about how good they are, while everyone else stands around and metaphorically roles their eyes. I got through a quarter of the book and just didn't care to hear anymore. I could see Lazlo as that hovering parent near the sandbox making sure his kids get the most out of their sandbox experience.

Also a note to authors' who narrate their own audibles- particularly those of the autobiographical nature. I suggest an alternate path. Go with a pro. It just sounds better.

Where does Your Brain at Work rank among all the audiobooks you’ve listened to so far?

The best. Plan to listen to part 2 several times/year.

What was one of the most memorable moments of Your Brain at Work?

That your conscious mind is a fickle and scarce resource that must be rationed only for the most important tasks. Like a high end Euro sports car, when not properly maintained it will cost you more in the long run.

What about Bob Walter’s performance did you like?

His voice was excellent. Can't believe some people knocked it...to each his own i guess. He really kept me coming back for more. Intelligent voice for intelligent topic.

If you were to make a film of this book, what would be the tag line be?

Just when you thought it was safe to use your brain...

Any additional comments?

Great "read.". Great author. Great narrator.
