Publisher's summary

Have you ever wondered why some people seem to catch all the breaks and win over and over again? What do the super successful know? What is standing between you and your wildest dreams?

The Book of Mistakes will take you on an inspiring journey, following an ancient manuscript with powerful lessons that will transform your life. You'll meet David, a young man who with each passing day is more disheartened and stressed. Despite a decent job, apartment, and friends, he just feels hollow...until one day he meets a mysterious young woman and everything starts to change.

In this self-help tale wrapped in fiction, you'll learn the nine mistakes that prevent many from achieving their goals. You'll learn how to overcome these hurdles and reinvent your life.

This success parable is packed with wisdom that will help you discover and follow your personal purpose, push beyond your perceived capabilities, and achieve more than you ever dreamed possible. You'll find yourself returning again and again to a deceptively simple story that teaches actionable insights and enduring truths.

Inspiring!

Great read, it reminded me of Andy Andrews, The Traveler’s Gift. A corporate fable cleverly told that leaves the reader viewing life in a whole new way.

If marketed right it could be the next classic

A great job of taking key points of success and Turing them into to a story that keeps you listen.

It is very interesting

I love this audiobook. It is formed like a story, and the wisdom of the mistakes are embossed in the story. I highly recommend this book to anyone who is seeking for life purpose.

Awful

This is the first time I write a review. The book is so bad that I must inform others.

Good points, corny story

Could have been boiled down to 30 minutes. This would have been advised, since the story gets more ridiculous as it goes, and it starts to lose its effectiveness as a vehicle for delivery of the message. The message (common critical mistakes) is excellent, however.
