Easy, accessible read with some solid messaging.
I find a lot of self help/motivational books can over intellectualize things and complicate the messaging. Whilst I notice some of the reviews spend time questionning the validity of the narrative(?!), I find it serves the purpose of breaking the lessons into small bitesize chunks and worksheets are available at the end of it.
Give it a read, as a new parent I think these lessons will be easy to pass on to kids too.

Worth a listen
I read quite a few of these types of books and all similar to be honest ,but this get the point across quite well and not to drawn out not over repetitive, I think it depends on the sort of person you are on what you get out of it , worth a listen and only took me two days to get through the book

Great: a simple tale of powerful tales.
I loved it - a simple allegory of allegories. The youthful sentiments soften powerful lessons. Well worth a listen.

LOVE LOVE LOVE
I have a passion for mindset & in the pursuit of a life by design - this book was brilliant, a lot of things I hadn't heard, and some that I had, which were explained in a completely different way.
Couple of hours long - we'll worth the investment

Great core principles
This book shares a young man's journey to reach his goals. some great core principles shared here but no tactical advice. a great short read if you wanted to reminded what it takes to get the job done.
