About this listen

Imagine having three life-coaches who had been through the toughest mental and physical challenges; a crack team of problem-solvers who knew in their day job that one mistake could be the difference between life - and death.

Think Like a Spy brings together ex-officers from the CIA, the FBI and the British Royal Marines. Across eight themed half-hours, they recount their experiences of working in the most stressful situations around the world - and how you can apply the same intelligence techniques to your own everyday life to become more productive, more perceptive and confident.

A TBI Media production for Audible Originals.

Journalist and presenter Tazeen Ahmad sadly passed away, aged 48, after the recording of this series. To mark the launch of this title Audible will be donating to two charities which were close to her heart. Mosac supports all non-abusing parents and carers whose children have been sexually abused. Woman's Trust is a specialist mental health charity, providing free counselling and therapy for women who have experienced domestic abuse.

I absolutely loved this audiobook! Probably one of my favorites so far, I don't see why there is bad reviews about it (Smh)
The stories and the lessons follow suit were amazing! The whole story telling and the in-depth lessons were incredible! I can only wish each section went longer and or more of this style concept! Please make more!

I ONLY WISH THERE WAS MORE OF THIS!

Fascinating! I thoroughly enjoyed the stories that were shared and the format in which this audio book was created. Relating the skill and knowledge required to achieve desired outcomes to relevant daily life is exactly what is sometimes neglected in life hack instructionals but it's all tied together here episode by episode very well. I wish there was more.

Well balanced and informative

Enjoyed some of the stories told by the three operatives, though unfortunately they were clearly chosen to illustrate lessons than for entertainment value. The stretch to reframe some 'spy skills' into inspirational civilian self-help was unintentionally hilarious

reasonably interesting free podcast

This series makes sometimes dull business/leadership lessons so interesting! As an early career professional I found it fantastic as it really engaged me and drilled home the lessons far better than similar content I'm used to.

Can't fault it
