I enjoyed listening to Think Remarkable by Guy Kawasaki. I generally enjoy listening to self help and growth mindset material. I cannot say that Guy's book stood out from the crowd although I did like some of the personal details that helped me to understand him and the life he has experienced. I think I will check out his podcast to see if that format resonates better with me.

Think Remarkable is a fantastic book that contains many useful tips on changing one's mindset. Some of the examples are a bit more radical/left-wing than my own stances, but the gist of the book is applicable to everyone who strives to make a difference in the world around them.

This was a good quick self-help audiobook. I didn't agree with a few things mentioned in the book, but it opened my eyes to a different view which I apprecitated. I like that the book got straight to the point on how to improve your thinking.

Thanks to the author and Netgalley for this ARC

Thanks to NetGalley for providing me with a copy of this book for review.

Guy Kawasaki is a remarkable person. He has dedicated so much of his life to finding and talking to remarkable people and sharing their stories on his podcast. However, is not a collection of interviews as you might think but instead, Kawasaki has condensed everything he has learnt into this book. It contains not only valuable life lessons but actual steps to implement them as well as why this should be done. Whilst there will certainly be some you already know - if you have lived, this is unavoidable! - there is so much crammed into this book, and it is done in way that is non-judgemental, without trying to get you to subscribe to any kind of beliefs or in any kind of patronising way.

Quick and effective self-help listen.

Guy Kawasaki’s approach to structuring the book was unique because of his position as a popular podcast host. Intermixed with stories about “remarkable” people featured on Guy’s podcast (some I knew, some I didn’t), I felt more invested in Guy’s takeaways on becoming a remarkable person. I also enjoyed the numerous recommendations for other books and online talks with similar self-help themes. I really got a sense of who Guy is and what his values are, many of which we share!

I thought this book had potential at first, but that notion quickly dissolved. I was not expecting to be inundated with propaganda for the Democratic party. I began to tune out after while. The author will alienate people when this is released. This book did not help me to think remarkable, but it did help to discourage me.

Thank you NetGalley and RB Media, Ascent Audio for the early copy of the audiobook.

It's a bit hard for me to rate a non-fiction book, so I am just rating this in the middle. I loved the concepts here and have learned a thing or two. The specific examples and life stories were awesome to hear, and somehow you will be able to relate too, even if I, as a reader, am just a nobody compared to the people involved. 

The one that stood out the most for me is the concept of grit and being able to be vulnerable, and the conclusion that there is no growth in the comfortable. I loved the author's writing and the introductory quote.

This will be something that will stay on my mind for a week or a month. I highly recommend that everyone read or listen to the audiobook.

I absolutely loved this book. Actually 62% of the way through I hopped online and purchased a physical copy. Love how concise it’s written, the subject matter, and how helpful it seems. It’s perfect.

There were some really informative parts of this book.

The structure was clear and the interviews with others and extracts from other texts were interesting. I’ve read a lot of the books which were referenced, so not new information for me, but brought together well and in a relatable way.

The second half of the book was better than the beginning where the author seems to have found their stride and purpose. The ‘grace’ section was especially good.

There are a lot of surfing references and name dropping - including talks about making/losing lots of money. Neither of these things are to my taste but did, mostly, appreciate the points being made.

In terms of narration, Madisun was the star of the show. I would have liked her to have read some of the other chapters. It took me several chapters to realise the initial questions/responses were for the reader/listener in each chapter - think this could be more explicit.

Overall, an average book which is not necessarily new information but is formatted well. Narration also mixed.

Front cover design is striking.

Thanks to NetGalley and the publishers for a chance to listen.

I was lucky enough to read Think Remarkable by Guy Kawasaki almost entirely in one go b/c started it while traveling. This allowed me to really dive into the concepts explored.

I loved hearing the short stories about extraordinary people, such as Jane Goodall, Olivia Julianna, Stacey Abrams, Steve Wozniak, Mark Rober, and Bob Cialdini. Authors Guy Kawasaki and Madisun Nuismer do a great job summarizing each of these success stories and pulling together each through a theme that shows us how to live remarkably.

This is the type of book you read again when you need inspiration, and I think it would have been great to talk through with friends/a book club. Great narration.
