Reviews

[Amani · Rating 1 out of 5]

Authors get this fulfilling feeling when talking about their works and it’s oftentimes, with all due respect, pretentious. This audiobook was a pure waste of time.

[Jane Stewart · Rating 5 out of 5]

Very engaging and interesting conversation.

I recommend listening to this after you read Killer Instinct. They talk about various things: corporate guys, sales people, reading facial expressions, and other. They refer to characters in Finder’s book Killer Instinct. I love the way Malcolm Gladwell thinks and writes. He is just as good in this conversation as he always is.

This was more of a conversation than a book, but it was still good.

[Joy · Rating 3 out of 5]

Interesting to hear some of my clients mentioned in this book. Was frustrated with the conversation about women in the sales force.

[John · Rating 1 out of 5]

Mildly animated exchange, but conducted in such low voices that I had trouble listening while walking outside.

Great interview with Malcolm Gladwell co ducted by Joseph Finder. They discussed thin-slicing, how characters are developed, and how novels are read

More of a podcast than a book, but a great audio for writers!
