The E-Myth Revisited almost made me crash :)

[Daren H.]

I am a big fan of audiobooks. Up to this point, every book I have listened to has captured my attention during my 1.5hr commute each way to and from work. I recently listened to the E-Myth Revisited (twice) and it just put me to sleep. Really, the audiobook is so dull that I was falling asleep in traffic when I listened. No other book has done that. The book is narrated by the author, Michael Gerber. With his voice, the dude sounds like he should be selling clothing on Men's Warehouse commercials ("Your gonna like the way you look"). When I listen to the audiobook, I can see a picture of a guy with a smoking jacket, cigar, and a glass of cognac with classical music in the background, lol. For the life of me, I was simply not able to find the greatness in the book.

Has anyone else listened to this on audiobook? Did you find it extremely dull and hard to extract a lot of concrete knowledge from it? People on BP say the book is great. The audiobook is great too.........but only if you have a need to take a nap in traffic.

Haha! I used to read books, but they put me to sleep. So I switched to audiobooks. They don't put me to sleep, but I lose interest in them about 2/3s of the way through.

I do much better with podcasts and articles that DIRECTLY relate to what I am doing at the time. Short and sweet. I am more likely to retain information when it is something I NEED to know.

I will probably try and listen to the E-Myth at some point as so many people recommend it....just maybe not while driving!
