Not Much Actionable Until the End
Audiobook Review:
This book is written by a young Spanish man who makes you feel you've barely attained anything in your life because he has done so much in his relatively short (28-year) one. In fact, listening to much of his discussion of the ups and downs of his life made me feel exhausted! I can't imagine having so much going on in my life and having done so much, especially by his age. Most of this book did really feel like a recitation of what he has done to get where he is; he doesn’t share how this could apply to “leveling up” your life. In the first chapters, you don't get any sense of the lessons he's trying to share that you could use in your own life. That's often the major pitfall in books like this: it’s more about the author than the reader. That’s fine if the book is billed as a biography, but less good if it’s supposed to be a self-help book. More toward the end of the book, the author discusses how you can “level up” different aspects of your life; again, he didn’t form the connections between these suggestions and his experience. I like how he's included a PDF with the audiobook that provides a 5-page list of actionable things you can do to “level up” your life. I wish this PDF were a little longer and more detailed so it could be truly useful. So much is gone over in the book that it would have been nice to have a hard copy of more than just this list. Language usage in this audiobook is a bit rough, but the author narrates it himself, so it feels like he is simply talking to you about his experiences and insights. That smooths over the English language issues, though I imagine the book this is based on could have been smoother if a native English speaker had edited it. This book certainly contains some nuggets here, but you will have to work hard to mine them, as so many are buried within the stories, but the author doesn't draw parallels to how you can apply them. You'll have to do that work yourself to determine if there’s much that speaks to you. Certainly print out the PDF, as he does give you many things to consider.
2.5 overall stars
I received a promo code for this audiobook, but that did not affect my review.

Committing to virtuous living.
"Level Up" by Alvaro Nuñez Alfaro is a compelling and inspirational guide for anyone looking to transform their life and achieve their dreams. Unlike many motivational books that often draw on the experiences of older individuals reflecting on their past, "Level Up" stands out by showcasing the recent journey of a young lad. The book is more than just a recount of Alvaro's achievements; it intend to be a manual filled with practical tools, methods, and practices that have driven his perceived success. Alvaro emphasizes the importance of turning obstacles into superpowers and committing to being the hero of one's own story. He shares personal anecdotes and actionable strategies to help readers define their vision, understand their motivations, and continuously improve in all aspects of life.
One of the book's most impactful stories is a generational tale passed down from Alvaro's grandfather, illustrating the importance of aiming for seemingly impossible goals to strengthen one's resolve and capabilities. This philosophy is central to "Level Up," encouraging readers to dream bigger and strive for excellence, regardless of the challenges they face.

Compelling read AND workbook!
Level Up: Turning Your Obstacles into Superpowers is an excellent tool designed for self introspection as well as a great guide to implement an action plan to “level up”. Alvaro’s story is beyond inspiring. It would have been refreshing to read that he attributes overcoming and becoming better to God. However, I see how people want to keep self-help books neutral. Being a believer, the structure provided in this book is still quite applicable as it generates introspection with a level of gratitude and humility. Spend time with this book, be prepared to write things down as you go, taking time to perform the exercises at the end of some chapters. Alvaro, I knew when I first read about your business partner I was saying to myself “NO! Don’t!” Also my heart hurt when your finacè acted the way she did! Great read…I highly highly recommend!

Very inspirational book
I picked up this book when I really needed the pick me up. My company that ive spent 8 years building seems to be crashing around me. (Dropping from 70k months consistently for 3 years down to 20k months in just 3 short months) There are a number of reasons for this, not the least of which is my ex husband and his antics and lawsuits. I started to feel truly depressed and defeated. Reading this story I was reminded how much worse it can be. It's only money. I've proven I could do it once and I can do it again. Lifes full of obstacles, its what we do with them that matters most. Ty Alvero for writing this book and sharing your story with the world! You helped bring this girl from depression to determination in 2 short days. Xoxo

I never expected to read a self help book in two days. But this one was a page turner, and I could not put it down. Mr. Alfaro has an engaging style and gives enough tips and check lists to motivate one. It was absolutely wonderful and I would recommend it to anyone who wants to find ways to motiate themselves to work on their dreams and themselves. It was especially refrshing to find that he considers living ethically and with kindness so important. That is definitely not something you run across every day.

This well-written book offers useful tricks and habits to help build success in all aspects of life. The author has proven that with the right attitude, working hard and working smart, anything can be achieved. This book is a must read in the self help space and a really interesting story follow.

I enjoyed this book and hearing his story, love his accent too. I didn’t hear anything new, because I have read a lot of self development books and been to a lot of work seminars. However, it is always good to hear it again and recommit to level up in a new way.
