Fantastic book. Performance flawed

Fantastic book. Such great material which will change how I engage with people in my life and with my own thinking. Distracting errors in editing the recording though. Reader often repeats herself.

Educational

I enjoyed this overall.

The language is sometimes overly flowery and drawn out. I struggled to read the book but the audio book was more manageable.

The author tries to formalize a number of good and constructive ideas into a system she calls the Thinking Environment. There are some good lessons to be had and I personally found myself implementing some of it in my own meetings in a less formal fashion.

Often the author goes way overboard in my opinion in terms of the merits of this system. It's almost framed as the cure to all ills. Personally speaking I feel this detracts from something that taken with a bit more realism is clearly a good and beneficial approach in a variety of situations.

I found myself struggling to persist through some sections of the book but I persisted as there are good lessons to be learned. I'm happy I did. But it didn't need to be so tedious.

Long overdue

This book was so captivating that the time listening went by too quickly. I wish it had continued. The storytelling is so beautiful. The practical tactics can be applied to every part of our lives. The key now is to do it.

What assumption are we holding that makes us to believe that people can’t listen?

Required reading for all of humanity, necessary now, more than ever. Share it with everyone.
