The advice was very useful and made me think about how I write stories. I especially enjoyed the examples to clarify points.

Recommendation for writers

Ein Fehler ist aufgetreten. Bitte versuche es in ein paar Minuten noch einmal.
Both narrators are good, the content itself would be okay, were it not for an endless barrage of unfunny jokes that sometimes made me physically cringe. The fact that this humor is a hallmark on the author’s YouTube channel “Hello Future Me”, does not make it any funnier. The book itself is not revolutionary, but some chapters are quite useful, mostly the section about empires. However, I could have learned about everything the book describes on YouTube with much less of a time investment and without spending money. 

Good narrators I guess
