      Some of the best tricks about this concept are openly being shared by the author. That's exactly why I love it. This particular audiobook is filled of good material. Not only did this particular book seem like it was excellent quality, but it also taught me crucial aspects of life, and about this idea in particular, obviously. So, it definitely deserves a few hard-earned stars.
