Short Book - Good Motivation - Not Much Else

3 stars

Finished this rather quickly. There was a lot of motivational speech, and a bit of Willink's life philosophy, but not much to explain WHY his method provides "freedom."

The other reviewer who mentioned it reads "like a series of small blog posts" hit the nail on the head.

I did enjoy this, but didn't get exactly what I was hoping out of it.

Tom Turcich: World Walk (2024, Skyhorse Publishing Company, Incorporated) 4 stars

Fantastic, quick read!

The prose is short, but also enough. I'm not sure how he cut down seven years into these relatively few pages, but it works.

I found the honesty here refreshing. There are some themes that I think are woven throughout, but not shoved in your face.

Overall a great read.
