I mostly enjoyed this book. It has a lot of good information. However… Tom has laced throughout his book a lot of political opinions. He should have used examples from across all parties. He clearly has a deep bias against President Trump and conservatism. It’s sad that he uses such a good book to push his left leaning agenda on people.

Given that he is writing about ‘persuasion’ and ‘subconscious manipulation’, it seems like he is attempting to use those techniques through his writings to affect the minds of his readers.

I am disappointed in this subtle/not-so-subtle use of his platform.

I loved this book so much! It was such a powerful read. I am unfortunately someone who tends to be easily influenced, so just being able to sit with this book has already helped me feel more grounded and aware. It’s been so empowering and has really boosted my confidence. I found the work Tom recommends absolutely fascinating. It got me thinking, reflecting, and really listening. I honestly feel like this is going to change my life. I’d recommend it to anyone who has been hurt by others in the past or even just anyone needing a reminder of their own strength.

No finish date because I couldn't get through it. Short version; you have no agency in life until and unless you read this book and become aware of marketers, politicians, sales peoples attempts to influence your behavior. Repetitive, tedious, and one dimensional.

Reads like multiples chapters of heavily AI generated chapters, woven together in a very repetitive way. Same examples given over and over again, unedited with several typos too. Great idea, useful concepts, poorly executed.

I have listened to the audio, and now I am going back to read and study chapter by chapter.
