Story Telling well explained!

This book was a pleasure to listen. I learned a lot of tools Ill use when selling and teaching.

Couldn't keep my interest.

Honestly, for a storyteller who is in the business of telling stories, this story was so terribly told. I never felt any emotion to the story (something pressed upon), and found it hard to follow among the distractions of life.

-- and whoever was chosen to narrate this story was a terrible choice.

Title: The 2-Hour Job Search

Subtitle: Using Technology to Get the Right Job Faster

Author: Steve Dalton

Narrator: Mike Chamberlain

Format: Unabridged

Length: 7 hrs and 19 mins

Language: English

Release date: 09-05-17

Publisher: Tantor Audio

Ratings: 4 of 5 out of 5 votes

Genres: Business, Career Skills

Publisher's Summary:

The 2-Hour Job Search shows job seekers how to work smarter (and faster) to secure first interviews. Through a prescriptive approach, Steve Dalton explains how to wade through the Internet's sea of information and create a job search system that relies on mainstream technology such as Excel, Google, LinkedIn, and alumni databases to create a list of target employers, contact them, and then secure an interview - with only two hours of effort. Avoiding vague tips like "leverage your contacts", Dalton tells job hunters exactly what to do and how to do it. This empowering book focuses on the critical middle phase of the job search and helps listeners bring organization to what is all too often an ineffectual and frustrating process.

PLEASE NOTE: When you purchase this title, the accompanying reference material will be available in your Library section along with the audio.

Critic Reviews:

"Well argued...the procedures [Dalton] proposes to take advantage of the technological tools available to job seekers are logical and easy to follow." (

Kirkus)

Members Reviews:

Decent advice overall. However, the five point emails need to be modified.

So I've seen the five star reviews, and the one star reviews, and I have to disagree with both.

The one star reviews mention you having to pay for something like a database subscription? You don't, unless there's another version of the book they're reading. If they're talking about alumni associations, it should be free. But if it's not, then just get a Facebook or LinkedIn account and look up your school to get in touch with alumni.

I do have to agree that the first section on "finding jobs" might be a bit much. It describes how to prioritize jobs that you find, which might not be important if you plan on applying to EVERY plausible job you find (which I've done from time to time). But the one-star reviews complained about the process of prioritizing jobs using Excel. I actually found that part very helpful, although I came up with my own scheme for prioritization instead of using Mr. Dalton's.

Anyways, so I don't agree with the one-star reviews on these things.

However, I don't agree that the book holds up its promise of a 2-hour job search. The author claims that the success rate for a five point email is around 40%.

Here are the actual numbers. I've been using this book for exactly one month. I've sent out about eighty emails/LinkedIn messages to people I didn't know over the last month. (Now I only send out LinkedIn messages since finding people's emails makes you feel like a stalker (I'm surprised how easy it is to find people's emails :-x), and although I've gotten a few nibbles by sending those emails, I've been able to connect better by LinkedIn).

Forty of them were EXACTLY like the one in the book, asking for an informational interview. Forty of them just asked a quick question without asking for an informational interview by phone.

Of the first forty, only one replied. He later was busy (which is understandable) and replied to the questions I asked in about two paragraphs.

Title: The Code of Trust

Subtitle: An American Counterintelligence Expert's Five Rules to Lead and Succeed

Author: Robin Dreeke, Cameron Stauth, Joe Navarro - foreward

Narrator: Robin Dreeke

Format: Unabridged

Length: 9 hrs and 27 mins

Language: English

Release date: 08-08-17

Publisher: Macmillan Audio

Ratings: 4.5 of 5 out of 95 votes

Genres: Business, Career Skills

Publisher's Summary:

This audibook is read by the author, with a forward read by Joe Navarro. Robin Dreeke is a 28-year veteran of federal service, including the United States Naval Academy and the United States Marine Corps. He served most recently as a senior agent in the FBI, with 20 years of experience. He was, until recently, the head of the Counterintelligence Behavioral Analysis Program, where his primary mission was to thwart the efforts of foreign spies and to recruit American spies. His core approach in this mission was to inspire reasonable, well-founded trust among people who could provide valuable information.

The Code of Trust is based on the system Dreeke devised, tested, and implemented during years of fieldwork at the highest levels of national security. Applying his system first to himself, he rose up through federal law enforcement and then taught his system to law enforcement and military officials throughout the country, and later to private-sector clients. The Code of Trust has since elevated executives to leadership and changed the culture of entire companies, making them happier and more productive as morale soared.

Inspiring trust is not a trick, nor is it an arcane art. It's an important, character-building endeavor that requires only a sincere desire to be helpful and sensitive and the ambition to be more successful at work and at home. The Code of Trust is based on five simple principles:

1. Suspend Your Ego 2. Be Nonjudgmental 3. Honor Reason 4. Validate Others 5. Be Generous

To be successful with this system, a listener needs only the willingness to spend eight to 10 hours learning a method of trust-building that took Robin Dreeke almost a lifetime to create.

Members Reviews:

A book that will change your life, if you want to!

Would you listen to The Code of Trust again? Why?

I am actually looking forward to listening again. Learning the Code of Trust and hearing the lessons again will only re-enforce my grasp on the Code.

What other book might you compare The Code of Trust to and why?

Honestly, I have never read anything like it

Have you listened to any of Robin Dreekes other performances before? How does this one compare?

I have had the pleasure of seeing Robin present a class in person. He is a very good presenter.

Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting?

YES

Any additional comments?

I only hope my wife and my kids listen to this book. I know what I have learned will help them too!

Powerful lesson

It's a treat when the author narrates their own book; the lesson takes on greater depth and understanding. I didn't want the book to end.

Great tools for our modern society. Narration, cadence, and format deserves a BRAVO ZULU!

Great book.

Very interesting content. This should be recommended reading for all leaders, managers, and businesses practitioners.

Leadership is a social contract and the system only works if trust is both given and received. This book tells you how to build it. Intelligent Disobedience by Ira Chaleff tells you how to maintain it from a subordinate's perspective and Patrick Lencioni's Five Dysfunctions of a Team tells you how to maintain it from the boardroom.

The performance was good but there are some noticeable hiccups.

Members Reviews:

crucial conversations!

This is an excellent summary of Crucial Conversations. Loved the content. Loved the narration. And most of all -- loved how actionable it was. Started applying some of the concepts at work with employees and already seeing positive results. Good work!

Reader Rant

Like the content of what was being presented. Did not like that the reader started to rant about his views on President Trump. I wanted to learn about the material in the book not the political opinion of the reader. Feel this behavior was a complete 180 from what was being taught.

To author: Pls eliminate all non-sense comments

I love the concept of a book like this. But this has to be studied more to be done better.

I probably can boil this 25 min audio into 6 minutes and the entire 45 min audio into 7 minutes.

I pretty much skim through the audio because it was repetitive. Personally this audio wasn't useful. I gave 5 starts because i value the concept of such summary book had it done well with careful thought.

I also gave 5 stars because i think it might be a great audio for a lot of people, especially the beginners of this cultivation.

For me, I would have like the book to be more info and action packed, and author can do that still under 20 minutes, if he eliminates all the other non-sense fillers. Like i said, this book can use more care.

I will go ahead and buy the real original book.

Members Reviews:

Pretty good!

What made the experience of listening to Getting There: A Book of Mentors the most enjoyable?

I liked the male narrator. Also, learning some of the back stories of famous people was cool.

What other book might you compare Getting There: A Book of Mentors to and why?

I don't read a lot of personal development books...seems like it's probably similar to some of those.

Which character as performed by the narrators was your favorite?

There were no characters, just real people.

Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting?

It had short chapters, so it was good to listen to in quick shifts.

Any additional comments?

I got this for free in exchange for an honest review.

Sage Advice for Seekers

Whats an idea from the book that you will remember?

Frank Gehry's chapter stands out for me. One of his pearls of advice was startling for me as a designer because it was so on target and yet something I had never heard a creative person observe or provide advice about before. You'll have to listen to learn more.... It was also very helpful to me as a dyslexic to find a set of the mentors in this book who share an arc of experiences - not fitting in as kids, taking jobs seeming below their calling or wide of the mark, and then later pulling everything together in a grand slam. Saying that it's good to see this story played out again and again by people, some who are very likely also dyslexic, is an understatement. Thank you Gillian. The book is an act of mentorship.

These rich people are way cooler than I expected.

What made the experience of listening to Getting There: A Book of Mentors the most enjoyable?

I liked that there were a few different voice actors in this one. One of the male actors in particular was really great, but I don't know which one.

What did you like best about this story?

It feels kind of cheesy to say, but this book was actually super motivational. I listened to it on my way to work and by the time I got there, I felt ready to give it my all. I'm impressed that the author was able to get interviews with all of these people

Which scene was your favorite?

The creator of Mad Men guy said some great stuff...I had to look up this line again, but it really stuck with me: "A great idea is worthless; execution is everything. It doesn't matter if you invented Star Wars before Star Wars existed."

Was there a moment in the book that particularly moved you?

I always knew Anderson Cooper was smart and handsome, but I had no idea how much of a BADASS he is. Wow, he's been through a lot and taken a lot of risks to get where he is, which I really respect. CRUSH SOLIDIFIED.

Brief Review

Would only recommend if you want a concise brief review of professional communication. The clean-cut dry delivery may not be interesting otherwise.

Everyone who presents or is in a sales position should read this book!!

I have read several books on communication and I am always trying to better myself and learn. This book by far helped me the most and Ive recommended it to several of my coworkers. Id say it is a must read for anyone in sales or if you do presentations to groups of people. I have read several times and I learn more every time I read it. Definitely 5 stars from me.

Members Reviews:

Excellent book, clear, practical direction

I have had major problems with procrastination, disorganization and self discipline in general for quite a long time. I could never apply myself to anything properly. I've dropped out of two night classes, started and dropped several different hobbies and could never seem to stick at anything. I'd read a lot of books on self discipline, but I found them little to no use. The advice seemed to boil down to just suck it up and do it.

This book has been an absolute lifechanger for me and very different to anything I've read in this field before. The author doesn't make any wild promises about changing your life instantly or that some particular secret only her book has will change everything. It emphasises small, incremental change and building good habits. Those habits go on to be the foundation you build real success on. It was very clear and very practical. The difference between this and other books is that the author has obviously worked in this field in a professional capacity. It contains the kind of realistic advice that only comes from years of doing this in real life.

One of my first good habits was making 15 minutes each day to listen to this book. It's very well laid out and doesn't overwhelm at any point. By making small positive changes and building on them, I have seen a tangible difference in my life. I'm not totally there but I've achieved more than I thought possible at the start of this year.

I'd definitely recommend this book for anyone wanting to change and who is realistic about putting the necessary work in.

My fave book this year by far

Where does Self-Discipline rank among all the audiobooks youve listened to so far?

This year, the best! I feel like i understand (and therefore am able to apply it better) self-discipline so much better. Very easy to understand, flowed well, great value for money.

Glaringly Pragmatic, Genuinely Inspirational

Any additional comments?

Not one of your over-the-shelf cliche self-help books. This one really helps. It accounts for a simple yet highly efficacious approach: Habits make a man perfect. The book deviates from the traditional paradigm of discipline as a mere "set of rules" to follow and presents a new perspective. It is our habits deeply enrooted within us that determine our success rates. These habits can be molded, albeit with a lot of hard work. Self-discipline, in turn, becomes the taming of these habits.
