<div class="bbWrapper">I&#039;ve gone through the audible version twice. My favorite business book ever. I loved it more than Fastlane, and I thought that book was fantastic too.</div>

<div class="bbWrapper">About 40 pages in after 1 hour of reading! Kindle on Amazon for 7$!<br /> <br /> Thanks <a href="https://www.thefastlaneforum.com/community/members/1/" class="username" data-xf-init="member-tooltip" data-user-id="1" data-username="@MJ DeMarco">@MJ DeMarco</a> !!<br /> <br /> Random question: Would you consider porn to be a hyperreality? I kind of think its created to subdue the masses IMO.</div>

 

[ECLS18]

<div class="bbWrapper">MJ, I read the book. I have also seen several of your interviews on youtube. Your honest approach to delivering this message is exemplary. I can&#039;t thank you enough for coming up with this masterpiece. <br /> Best,</div>

[DamianProsa]

<div class="bbWrapper">Just finished Unscripted too!<br /> <br /> It&#039;s worth a second read for sure, and I am planning to read it again in 6-12 months, just like I did with The Millionaire Fastlane, to better internalize the concepts.</div>

As with most hyprerealities, it becomes a problem when your fake relationships are more important than the real ones.</div>

<div class="bbWrapper">I read Unscripted. It&#039;s the first book I would recommend to anyone who&#039;s interested in entrepreneurship, or just anyone really. Great book.</div>

 

[The EL Maven]

<div class="bbWrapper">Purchased this book the week it came out back in May. I just finished reading it last night. The reason it took so long was purposeful. I didn&#039;t want to devour the book in two days. Instead, I wanted to read a page or two every single day to get my mind into the mental habit. After so long, MJ&#039;s blunt style is in my mind constantly.<br /> <br /> There were two portions of the book that resonated with me the most. The first was the visual of the dog lying on a nail. I realized that I long ago created a life that was too comfortable. For instance, seven years ago, I purchased my house in cash. This allowed me to take life too easy. The second portion of the book that stood out was the small part about Black Friday. I lived through that in real time. My entire poker bankroll was wiped out that day. The only issue I take with the book is to point out that those on Pokerstars and Full Tilt were eventually made whole (by Pokerstars who bought Full Tilt in a deal with the US Department of Justice). All my money was on the Cereus network, and on that day, I had to start over from scratch. I never got a penny of my winnings. I quit poker a few years later because it affected my mood, and this was challenging since I have kids. Besides, it&#039;s time to take my life in a different direction, one where value creation is the centerpiece.<br /> <br /> <br /> Unscripted is truly a masterpiece. I will continue my daily habit of reading a page or two from either Unscripted or The Millionaire Fastlane for the foreseeable future. Having that constant reminder of what I need to do with my life is a very good thing.</div>

<div class="bbWrapper">I bought both the paperback book of UNSCRIPTED and the audio book a few weeks back. I read the book at night before bed, and listened to the audio book commuting to/from work. I blasted through the audiobook wayyy before the paperback, but <b>I&#039;ve finished reading UNSCRIPTED</b>!<br /> <br /> For me, UNSCRIPTED was an icy blast of water and a slap to the face. <i>Wake up</i>! I&#039;ve tried a bunch of entrepreneurial things over the years, and admittedly half-assed it at every point. <i>No more bullshit excuses</i>! I&#039;ve learned being in true service to people brings much more success than &quot;trying to figure out what to sell to people&quot; (my old way of thinking). UNSCRIPTED has been liberating: given me focus to work on only what&#039;s important, skip the action-faking, and seeing/treating those shackles in my life (mortgage, job, expensive car, hyperrealities) for what they are...<i>a slow lane to a regretful life</i>. <br /> <br /> I don&#039;t want regrets. I want a life well lived.<br /> <br /> Thank you, MJ, for a book that&#039;s rewired my thinking, given me renewed hope and drive for success, and <i>replaced</i> my world view. There&#039;s no book out there I&#039;ve read that has done that.<br /> <br /> ...I bought The Millionaire Fastlane, and am reading that now...</div>

 

[Ricky000000]

<div class="bbWrapper">I have read Unscripted! Thank you, MJ for planting the seeds that will forever grow and improve this universe.</div>

 

[jon.bianco]

<div class="bbWrapper">I&#039;ve read UNSCRIPTED and I&#039;m starting my second pass through the book.<br /> <br /> I&#039;m currently struck by two ideas in the book:<br /> 1) &quot;The difficulty is the opportunity&quot;<br /> 2) &quot;Innovation and/or Improvement&quot; are the two primary ways to create value<br /> <br /> There is something in those two ideas that hopefully helps me start to &quot;rewrite my own UNSCRIPTED story&quot;.<br /> <br /> Thank you MJ!</div>

<div class="bbWrapper">I&#039;ll brand my home the <b>Marianas Trench</b> as <b>&quot;The WWII Islands.&quot;</b><br /> <br /> I will use it as general guidelines to help my islands of the Marianas Trench. We were where the 2 atomic bombs took off, and there was a Battle of Saipan where I live.<br /> <br /> I&#039;m specifically from the island of Saipan.<br /> <br /> MJ! Bomb a$$ books brother. Read both!<br /> <br /> For this second book, since I read the first one, I jumped around and skimmed the 2nd book to see important parts. Honestly, the layout of the second book? Easier to understand with the bullet points.<br /> <br /> First book, I loved the quick run through at the end. Chapter 45, FASTLANE SUPER CHARGER helps too.<br /> <br /> <a href="https://www.thefastlaneforum.com/community/members/1/" class="username" data-xf-init="member-tooltip" data-user-id="1" data-username="@MJ DeMarco">@MJ DeMarco</a></div>

<div class="bbWrapper">Finally read it! Now I recommend it instead of TMF because is like TMF with steroids. But as Eric Ferner said just above, I still love much more TMF.</div>

[SolEvad]

<div class="bbWrapper">Finished reading TMF last week and finished reading Unscripted today. Pretty much the reason I&#039;m here. Thanks for the great books MJ, really eye opening.</div>

 

[jon2089]

<div class="bbWrapper">Read Unscripted.</div>

 

[denzel]

<div class="bbWrapper">Also read it as soon as it came out. Was again an amazing book, but I have to tell the millionaire fastlane was still more eye opening!</div>

<div class="bbWrapper">I didn&#039;t even know this book existed until a few months ago (although I LOVED the first book <a href="https://www.thefastlaneforum.com/community/members/1/" class="username" data-xf-init="member-tooltip" data-user-id="1" data-username="@MJ DeMarco">@MJ DeMarco</a> wrote, I was too busy taking ACTION these past few years that I didn&#039;t realize he released this one). But when I found out about it, I went straight to Amazon and got myself copy.<br /> <br /> Then, I finished it the exact same day I got it in the mail.<br /> <br /> Although I consider The Millionaire Fastlane a masterpiece, MJ outdid himself with Unscripted. If The Millionaire Fastlane is Terminator, then Unscripted is Terminator 2 (let&#039;s just hope MJ&#039;s 3rd book -- if he ever writes one -- isn&#039;t as disappointing as Terminator 3!).<br /> <br /> Unfortunately, I don&#039;t have any copies of this book left. I&#039;ve given all the ones I had out to family and friends... so I guess that means I need to buy another!</div>

 

[AnAverageJoe]

<div class="bbWrapper">Just finished this monster.<br /> <br /> Thank you MJ.</div>

 

[msufan]

<div class="bbWrapper">Read Unscripted -- excellent book! I always think in terms of expected value and thus loved that part; the colored gumball analogy also was fun and made the point well. I can&#039;t believe some people actually live life dominated by what they see on TV and in entertainment and all that, and I appreciate you being out there trying to figuratively shake people by the shoulders and snap them out of their haze.<br /> <br /> You might get occasional grief because Unscripted doesn&#039;t spoon-feed people any million-dollar ideas for them to try, but obviously no book can do that.</div>

 

[cottonbuds]

<div class="bbWrapper">I read the book a few months ago.</div>

 

[DEADZ]

<div class="bbWrapper">Found out about this one when I joined the forum. Listened to it on Audible.</div>

<div class="bbWrapper">Reading <i>Unscripted</i> again.<br /> <br /> &quot;<b>The Paradigm is Shit</b>&quot; section is like a bitch-slap to the face each and every time.
