Ratings and reviews

my first ever audio book. not sure if it was the content or if it was because it's an audio book, but I didn't really care for it. Noticed that I didn't retain much of what was being said. Didn't really capture my attention. I listened to it every morning on my commute. for the price I paid I felt like it was totally not worth it to me. Disappointed honestly.

Real good book it was also good to read he mentions slot of good points another book by him I highly recommend is 7 habits of highly effective families .now if we could actually apply that in our lives we all would be better off.

IT'S WHAT YOU NEED TO READ TO MOVE FORWARD ON SOME OF PLANS IN LIFE WITH NO REGRETS.!!!!
