About this audiobook
From the New York Times bestselling author of The 10X Rule and If You're Not First, You're Last comes an in-your-face wake-up call for anyone truly ready for success.
We're in the middle of an epidemic of average. So-called "normal" people get up every day, go to work, do what's asked of them, leave promptly at 5, and return home to sit on the couch and watch TV. Society tells us that this is what it means to lead a balanced life. Don't stress too much or work too hard. Your career isn't everything. But Grant Cardone thinks this preoccupation with balance has really just given an excuse to be mediocre.
The bestselling author, self-made multimillionaire, radio and TV personality, and owner of the Whatever It Takes Network knows that if you want real success, you have to be obsessed. You have to be hungry and hyper-focused and insatiable, and not listen to naysayers who tell you to tone it down. You also have to know how to harness that obsession so that you can use it to your advantage.
Some of his maxims:
·"Criticism is easily avoided by saying nothing, doing nothing, and being nothing."
·"Never fear the haters - fear the weak who listen to them."
·"Most people are dying at 20 and making it official at 80. Most people are living their life with nothing to brag or talk about."
If you're looking for someone to coddle you and make excuses for your lack of success, you've come to the wrong book.

- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5I have been following Grant Cardone since mid 2017. He is a phenomenal business strategist and communicator. Nowhere else do these two attributes really shine other than in "Be Obsessed or Be Average". In this book, Cardone challenges the reader to think beyond perceived limitations in every situation and double-down on 'impossible' goals. 'BOBA' is the engine that entrepreneurs can use to expand their business, be comfortable with change, get up after defeat, and inspire their teammates. It is easy to knock this book as a motivational puff-piece but if readers listen attentively, they will discover key nuggets of unconventional wisdom to transform their lives.

- Rating: 1 out of 5 stars1/5This book is a waste of time and energy, I understand that he has made in life but this book doesn’t show any useful strategy or any information on how you can improve your self, it’s basically 13 hours of ( JUST BE OBSESS! I DID IT ! etc) I feel like he just made the book to sell more without putting any effort into making this book

- Rating: 2 out of 5 stars2/5Because I liked "The 10X Rule" from the same author a lot, I thought I would love this one as well, but I honestly got bored before finishing chapter 5.
It felt repetitive/redundant to me.
I still believe Grant is a great author and speaker, but this book was just not on the same level as the other one I mentioned. Maybe if I had read/listened to this one first, my opinion would be different.1 person found this helpful
