Un Clásico por su valor historico

Reviewed: 04-20-18

¿Alguna vez te has encontrado que el termino "Kafquiano" es usado como adjetivo? Comienza esta corta obra de Franz Kafka e inmediatamente sabrás por qué.
Reconozco un excelente uso de detalles de contexto para pintar una vivida imagen del entorno, de las sensaciones y emociones que te envuelven en la historia. Buen uso de la entonación para dar énfasis y matices sutiles por parte del narrador.
Como obra literaria tiene mucho de qué ser valorada por la época en la que se escribió, dar pinceladas de existencialismo y servir de base para futuros escritores, directores de cine y hasta artistas. Sin embargo en la actualidad puede dejar un sabor agri-dulce porque es una narrativa tan original que fácilmente pudo ser más extensa. Concluye de manera poco memorable una historia que daba para más, y se queda corta en aprovechar todo el morbo, interés y curiosidad despertados en quien la escucha/lee para extenderla.

De cualquier manera, es una referencia clásica en literatura y lo recomiendo. Es corto, fácil y entretenido. Si alguna vez paseas por Europa del este visita Praga donde hay estatuas extrañas regadas por la ciudad en su honor y existe hasta un parque verdaderamente idílico para quien guste explorar.

If your into money, entrepreneurship, life lessons, business or leadership this one is a must. This leaves you asking yourself "damn, this guy did all that in his prime?? What the hell am I doing in mine??"

Thinking about buying this after the movie??

You won't be disappointed, having watched the movie makes it just easier to follow up the names and events and soon you'll find out it's richer... there's a lot of stuff towards the end that you'll find here that will hook you up into the ENDERVERSE fast.

There's something about this story that resonates with you in one way or another, this is a great great author, and this audiobook includes a prologue from Orson Scott that just adds up to the value of it all.

You'll be getting the next SPEAKER OF THE DEAD after this, trust me.

Its like hearing your father tell you a story

Just that in this case its Winston Churchill and its all the events leading to WWII. You'll finish this up from beginning to end and be wrapped up because its not like those boring books about history were its only facts and figures. This guy was living that, and living through it, all the events and decisions being taken. Who else could tell you a better story about it but Adolf himself I suppose.

It makes you wonder: if I was living in that time and watching events unfold like that, what kind of decisions I would be taking... and then you realise, well, there are things unfolding right now, so WHAT STAND ARE YOU GOING TO TAKE?

This is a clear and simple guide to build your business in the RIGHT way. It shows you the most common mistakes we make as we start whether it is a small or big business, in an EXCELLENT narrative. You'll feel your friend is giving you all this advice, it is just great, you'll learn a lot from this, you'll want to give it to your partners as well. I know I had a catharsis in several examples Michael depicts. So its a great help to guide you through all the mess it is to have or start a business, and please, don't do everything yourself.

Down to earth advices from real situations!!

Where does Think BIG and Kick Ass in Business and Life rank among all the audiobooks you’ve listened to so far?

This book is a MUST if you're into business and it is one of those that the advice and value goes beyond into your everyday life; much like a philosophy or attitude.

What was one of the most memorable moments of Think BIG and Kick Ass in Business and Life?

The way Donald tells it straight at you about revenge for example... it is sweet (meaning you should stand your ground when being pushed around) because in business, it happens A LOT! and he gives you real life examples, which makes the lesson much more meaningful. Also the way he tells you his point of view for challenges he took, it makes your challenges seem so small, that it's inevitable to re-think your own "big deals" that trouble your mind and start thinking much much BIGGER.

What does Alan Sklar and Donald J. Trump bring to the story that you wouldn’t experience if you just read the book?

Actually Alan Skiar is AMAZING in this book because he modulates the voice so well, you really FEEL that Trump attitude emanating through the way he talks. Its amazing, I actually enjoyed the narration so much that it made the whole book take more meaning, making me hear it several times over.

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

The name says it all, and it all has to do with your ATTITUDE!!

Any additional comments?

At the beginning they make you a test.. my advice TAKE THE TEST. If you don't, you'll continue hearing what the test is all about and then if you want to take it afterwards, it will not have the same effect on your mind. Again, TAKE THE TEST for real, with pen and paper and write down your stuff.
