Just as good as I remember

Years ago I was given a copy of this book and it started my journey on the path. Several events have jolted me out of my comfort zone and brought me back to the path. This is a transformative book, read it, study it live it the beauty and change you have are worth the effort.

Amazing book

This book will offer you insights on not just mastery of skills. But insight into the whole of life itself. Definitely worth the purchase. The narration is great and the stories and examples are as well.

MASTERY IS IMPORTANT TO A FULFILLED FEELING IN LIFE

Without mastery we are just rushing around from one thing to the next. It is necessary to spend time on one thing at a time

Best book on the subject of mastery

I had previously read Robert Green’s book by the same name and was pleasantly surprised and how great this book was (maybe even better than Green’s book).

thank you.

I enjoyed listening to this book. I started listening when I had a very long commute. i finished days later with only listening when I drove. I heard some things that kept me processing the message through out the day.
