Your Hidden Superpower: The Kindness That Makes You Unbeatable at Work and Connects You with Anyone

A Little Too Insular, Perhaps Audiobook Review: Before I picked up this audiobook at one of my favorite book review sites, I actually hadn't heard of the author before. I chose it because it seemed like a self-help book, and I do usually like reading those. Unfortunately, I didn’t find this book to be enjoyable. Before I say what I wasn’t wild about, let me say what I did like. The author herself narrates the book, which I like in nonfiction audiobooks. As this author is a professional speaker. working as a reporter and anchor on Good Morning America, the book is well narrated, and you can hear her passion for what she is talking about. I don't really watch much TV. I find myself wondering if I would have enjoyed this more if I had been familiar with the author and her work. Even though the book is actually about “your hidden superpower”—kindness—it actually felt more to me like it was about the television industry or her career. While she certainly did talk about kindness a lot—and she talks most directly about it in chapter one—she didn't always draw the parallels or share takeaways that I would have liked to have seen in a book like this. It also feels too focused on her. I would have liked to have seen some discussion of other people's acts of kindness (where she wasn’t one of the parties), scientific studies about kindness (with either the kind person or the beneficiary analyzed), or even other authors' ideas on kindness. I don't really feel like I took much away from this book. I’ll admit to some minor annoyance that this book felt more like an inside look at TV news and morning shows than kindness. As I don't really have much interest in either topic, I felt like the rest of the message got a little lost. If you have an interest in those topics or are already a fan of this author, you might enjoy this book more than I did. I received a free copy of this audiobook, but that did not affect my review.

bill krause an amazing reader with invested interest writing a book to the international community is one thing. Audiobook is talented gifted vocal chords. Readers you may not get personal stories from the book people expressing her kindness. But read the review. This young lady has a beautiful spirit and she believes in kindness. Someone was being a meanie to me. This young lady brought me kindness. Even though she was getting ready at a moment notice for her career. This young lady prayed with me every morning intentionally.
