Learned a lot

I really enjoyed this program. It encouraged me and gave me practical tools to start applying to my life today.

The materials are ok, though nothing special.

For an avid self development listener, this audiobook is mostly a summary of tips. Overall it's useful, but doesn't really elaborate too much.

The interaction between the 2 readers is a bit weird, i didn't get if it's scripted or natural.
Mostly i felt like there's 2 people trying to push some optimism into me, i mean, they're all into it on every sentence, takes a toll on your concentration.

Also, some of the exercises take a long time to complete, but the authors treat it as just a small step, e.g. "Go write what's ur purpose in life... now let's..." and more stuff, without digging deeper in how to come up with that purpose.
