GOLD! I've Read UNSCRIPTED!

[sfarieri]

Just finished reading UNSCRIPTED!!! What. A. Book. Thanks for being so real, @MJ DeMarco. And thanks for sharing your knowledge. I'm done with the slowlane, scripted life. Time to steer into the Fastlane and live an UNSCRIPTED Life!

Have listened to the audio version - now re-reading with the paper. Sometimes with the audio things don't always sink in - especially if you've driving and listening. Actually gets better when re-reading!

I've listened to unscripted several times while driving bumper-to-bumper to my 9-to-5 job and back home.
I was recovering from a burn out at the time, trying to get myself standing on my feet again.
And that book gave me the fuel to keep going instead of settling for the average.

@MJ DeMarco, you had me at self actualization.
I was already aligned with most of the core ideas of the book having read the TFM.
But the whole aspect of working your way towards self actualization through unscription, was the vision I lacked.
That perspective clicked with me.

I quit my job a couple of years later to pursue that path.
Now I work as a freelancer to pay the bills. (Yeah, I know, it's temporary, that's why I'm here)
This gives me more time to work on my personal project.
Hopefully it will bring value to the world and take me a step closer to achieving my goals.

It's exactly as you said: Chasing the dream is living the dream

Both books have changed my way of thinking, my actions and consequently my life.
I used to be frustrated and now I know why.
My choices and actions weren't aligned with my vision.
With that cleared up, life has a purposeful meaning again.

And you are the one to thank for bringing that to our attention.
Thank you!

I have read unscripted (some time ago, in fact). I have found three parts in it.

The first part is the first half of unscripted, a bit conspiracy-like, I would have written in a different way a number of things, less conspiracy more as a naturally emergent phenomenon, from societies made by apes that seek comfort and tend to travel the most traversed paths, and a few that not. I do not feel like a needed this part and I did not enjoy it, but it may still be good for some people.

The second part is a recap of the Fastlane, which is good for self-containment, but I would still recommend reading both.

The last part is the good part, from chapter 38. I will read again, probably several times, I still feel I have not fully understood some aspects of it, especially in terms of second order thinking.

I think for someone that already has had the FTE, the first part is not really useful, but still good. For someone that already has read the Fastlane, the second part is not really useful. The third part I would recommend to everybody.

Now that there's several hundred out there in the wild, guess it is time to start a thread for those of you who have read (or listened to!) UNSCRIPTED!

Hope everyone enjoyed it and found it to be a good "big picture" supplement for The Millionaire Fastlane!

Finished it and starting it over again to digest the information

I've read this book one month ago but I'm sure will do this yet

Got around to reading it at the start of the pandemic.

It struck me as a good recap, but felt weaker than TMF in its message and delivery. It was less focused, especially in the first half. The final third, however, brought a lot of additional value, and the multi-year gap between reading the two made it worth it.

Still, I'd definitely recommend TMF over Unscripted to someone uninitiated, as I believe it helps the realization click faster and easier.

Solid book, nonetheless, and should be on the top shelf in any entrepreneurship collection.

Finally read unscripted. For me it poured my fuel to the fire lit by The Millionaire Fastlane. Thank you MJ.
