Story
Throughout history, there's been one indelible quality that great leaders, makers, artists and fighters have shared. The Zen Buddhists described it as inner peace, the Stoics called it ataraxia and Ryan Holiday calls it stillness: the ability to be steady, focussed and calm in a constantly busy world. This quality, valued by every major school of thought from Buddha to Seneca, John Stuart Mill to Nietzsche, is urgently necessary today. And, Holiday shows, it is entirely attainable.

7 Steps to Wealth is the only real estate book in Australia endorsed by three of Australia's property billionaires. It shares John L. Fitzgerald's own 35-year proven property strategy, supported statistically and with real life case studies from listeners of earlier editions. The book is completely up-to-date with the latest census data, location criteria, and growth forecasts. Most importantly the book exposes the difference between property and real estate, proving that it’s only the land that appreciates and that the buildings that sit on the land actually depreciate.

This book changed my mind
I was mistaken on branding. I knew the school of thought presented in this book, but disagreed with it as I saw product to be the driving force and basically what the brand is. However, about 2 hours in I let go of my sceptical attitude and listened carefully. this book has changed my mind and made everything much clearer. We'll produced too with good audio.

Educational.
Great for learning as a someone who practices digital marketing but has never fully taken the time to understand the tactical approach behind what they are doing. It also suggests many other books to continue the journey. At times it will feel like a bit of an information overload when it lists the many things you need to know. But i could never complain about all the information that is packed into Brands and Bullshit. HIGHLY RECCOMEND!

Straight up, in your mouth, solid brand advice.
I found the advice and explanations by the author of this book to be on-point and powerful examples in creating a deeper attachment between a product or service and it’s customers. I’m 20 years in the Ad & Brand Market business (built Williamsburg | Brooklyn starting back in 2000) and still walked away with a handful of great tools from this book. I loved, loved loved it! — Breuk Iversen (12/2020)

Difficult to licen to
I found it really difficult book to listen to this book, the author sems really insecure, and arogant, perhaps more integrated in establish himself as an author wordy to write about this, than a guide or a helper. I might not be the objective target for this book, but it's a topic I'm well verse and really interested, and I really wanted to like this format. At the end of the day, I feel like at least the title is on point. I'm sorry I didn't take it as an advices the first time.
