First, after listening to John Maxwell's, The 15 Invaluable Laws of Growth, I was disappointed to hear the voice of Chris Sorensen. It was a letdown. Maxwell's voice is so well suited to audio, that in comparison, Sorensen fell flat. His voice was an octave too high and the sing song of it was annoying. I am not sure why Maxwell chose not to read his own work, but the material suffered under Sorensen.

The purpose of the material is to help the reader learn how to get started on the path to finding one's own significance in the world. Finding one's purpose is the key to leading a life that matters. The title of the book certainly leads one to believe that it will impress, but I cannot honestly report that it did. I found it difficult to get through just the first cd, and there were only three total.

I will make this short and semi-sweet.

It is nothing new, shallow, and trite. As I listened, I was left with empty thoughts. I heard little that made me think that this was a book of significance. I rarely write a critical review, but this one is just not worth the time it took him to write it, me to review it, or you to read it. Your time is more significant than that.
