Excellent read, just so much worth it and a natural next book to read after reading works like the Freakonomics series, and Malcolm Gladwell's books

Haven't actually finished it cover-to-cover. But it basically gives you the journey of the writer towards becoming a mental athlete and champion. As part of that trip, it also explains techniques on memorising. Neither super impressive nor a complete waste of time.

No fancy jargon, just explain what these things do. Very enjoyable and easy to read book!

Might be the fact that I read a modern itnerpetation of the original work, but all in all I found the content quite repetitive, not really offering new after the first 3, 4 chapters

Quite nice conversations between the characters and good tension buildup but all in all I expected more of a climatic ending.

An excellent book to read. Teaches you a nice set of rules and good practices for working with code you're uncomfortable with. I'm feeling a lot more confident working with legacy code since I read it and I'm also planning to extend the tools of my editor based on the author's suggestions.

The subject as such is interesting and worth knowing... Having said that the author could and should have certainly compressed it in 50 pages or so

Nice writing style and very all in all quite interesting of a read.

David Goggins surely is an interesting folk. I can see how the life approach and mentality he advocates for has helped him be the athlete and the person he is today but at the same time, I really think this is not the advise the vast majority of people should follow. Some things worth noting from my listen to the book:

• Entering a 100 mile race without much of a running background is not smart and especially if you have a “Never quit” mindset, it could lead to injuries or worse! Especially if you approach it without the right gear or nutrition. The author does put mild disclaimers at the end of the chapter but the overall narration doesn't give out this vibe; rather it exemplifies the heroic nature of such tasks which in my mind is definitely not the right advise to people.
• In the same vain as the earlier point, continuing your world-record pull-up attempt even when your doctor advises you not to and hints at the risk of kidney failure and death, is not the way to go and definitely not an advise the wider audience should follow. And no, you're not a p**sy if you listen to your doctor's advise and stop the attempt here and now. 
• There's an underlying macho feeling across the book that, depending on where you come from, may not really appeal to you.

Some funny stories but overall not as informative or as captivating as the first book of the author while having the same format and structure

Nothing groundbreaking if you've been a listener of Laura's podcast but the main points are:

* Morning routines are yours for the taking
* Consider doing something fun in the morning
* Consider exercising, make it easy and fun, e.g. via gamification
* Consider practicing gratefulness
* Strongly consider tracking your time, esp in the morning

Meh, not really interesting.

The only fact worth knowing is that Fermat and Pascal developed the modern theory of probabilities in 1654 via a series of mail correspondences. There you go. I saved you from going through 200 boring pages

Reading this book has been such a pleasing experience

Such a classic!
Very novel plot, at least for when this was published.

As a non-native speaker though I found it very to keep up with some of the airport's author's expressions and vocabulary

A bit too much Java for my taste. If you ‘re into threads and parallel programming though, this book goes fairly deep in terms of computer science, math as well as actual code implementations in Java.

Reading “Outliers” was so much worth it.

Completely debunks the myth of a self-made man into basically an accumulation of hard work, cultural background, circumstances and pure sheer luck.

Excellent read.

Excellent introductory book to patterns.

Immediately catches your attention with its many pictures, funny dialogs and straight-to-the-point writing.

Do you want to have a job that's not of any interest? Colleagues you don't give a fuck about? Be an expert in a field in which literally you don't know anything or spend any time practicing it at all?
Perhaps doing sports that you don't particularly enjoy and winning at them by basically cheating?

Well, if so, this is the book for you!
In any other case, just recycle it and start reading something that's worth it.

Might be that I read the Greek translation but this book was simply rubbish.

Kind of repetitive after a while, but a worthy read nonetheless.

Might be better off to read the original works of the stoics instead.

Not the most modern and open-minded approach when handling real meaningful conversations with people

Another excellent book brought by the Freakonomics team!

Quite a pleasant and easy-to-follow book. Definitely worth carrying it in the tube/train with you.

If you're thinking of listening to this book in audiobook format, do yourself a favor and pick something else. It bombards you with numbers and incoherent virus names which will confuse you and at the same time bore you to death.
