Have 2 other friends reading it after I recommended it.

Thank you, always appreciate the recommendations!

will be the Polish version of Unscripted ? Polish TMF was great

License sold and translation is underway.

Recommended both books strongly to my close friends,

Thank you!

Has anyone read the "new" version of TMF ? The one with bitcoin inside?

The newer version has NO new content, it is just better edited with up-to-date statistics and newer references to things ongoing in culture, i.e., bitcoin.

I much prefer it to TMF, although both are great.

As do I.

So I tried to leave an Amazon review but it was rejected! They didn't say why just a link to a list of general guidelines. Can anybody tell me what was wrong this?...

Did you have any luck? All reviews are appreciated at Amazon!

One of the best general business books in the market.

Thank you!

I hope that some day M.J. Demarco edit it to Spanish (Unscripted ) because when I was reading I thought that I would be a nice gift to my girlfriend, unfortunately, she doesn't read in english.

TMF was just released in Spanish. If it does well, the Spanish publisher will probably pick up Unscripted .

Finally finished the book last night, but I took a different approach than most.

I bought the physical copy, the audiobook, and the Kobo version.

I spent 97% of my driving time and other time doing mindless tasks (running errands, playing Candy Crush on my phone, and even watching sports) listening to Scott.

I read, re-read, listened, and re-listened to only one chapter per day. For some of the longer chapters such as the ones explaining the different hyperrealities I spent a week just focusing on the chapter. I memorized the diagrams (The Scripted OS, TUNEF, Motivation Cycle, the Fastlane Entrepreneurship clover, the Kinetic Execution wheel). I answered every question and did every homework assignment. I even use the words "Value Voucher" without thinking about it.

Now I’m finally ready to start spinning gumball machines and I’m already acting on my very first idea that I came up with.

Way too many lessons, but I think the one that stood out most for me was that I was way too focused in the past on hunting and chasing "money" instead of creating value and attracting value vouchers.

I found the Audiobook by accident and I loved it!

I am pretty sure I can't add anything new to this thread what hasn't been said already. Haven't read all 76 pages though.

All I want to say:
This was such a great listen! I can't recommend it enough and I will to everyone who will ask me.

But a fair warning! There is so much information! And all is pure gold. You probably should read/listen to this book at least once every two months.

I am looking forward to adopting all those thoughts!

Thank you very much for this book!

It is impossible to find the Unscripted in Thailand, so I bought it on Kindle. I have to go through the book for 3 times since there are some terms that I need to take a while to understand. Great book by the way. I love it.

There are hard truths in Unscripted ! The perfect guide that confirmed my weaknesses and beliefs, the type of entrepreneur I am when was actually action-faking! Back to the unscripted road...

Another great read!! Finished a while back but I remember right from the beginning I was easily able to relate the dreaded time spent in the office to the same type of monotony in the work shop slaving for the boss. Hits home.

I've read Unscripted , and I think the Fastlane Commandment is far easier to remember than Productocracy elaborated in this book. But the part most memorable for me is the Unscripted weapon of Hyperreality. Particularly "named days".

It's so true that we're the only species that cares about this, and it has been working against our interest

Just finished Unscripted (audiobook format). I put my audiobooks on 1.5 speed. I find it keeps me tuned in better. My thinking is that you think much faster than you can read or speech, so why should we be able to listen and process faster...? Well it works for me. I fricken loved it. This is everything I've been looking for.
I'm going to order the hard copies of both MFL and Unscripted .
I'm now listening to Stephen Key's How to sell your ideas with or without a patent.

Watched a couple of Unscripted book reviews on YouTube, as I have ordered the book some days ago and can't wait to start reading the book when I come home from field work.

Unscripted was great. Audiobook was so easy to listen, unfortunately it was so interesting I wanted to listen more and more and I neglect to download PDF's MJ refers to on Audible. Next round will be reading the book, go through examples and test them. I enjoy chapter 48 - your last business ever, so nice to read something what inspires to act.

I read (listened) Unscripted .
I realised during the read that I haven't been totally brainwashed by the "script" most people follow, a couple of years ago I broke out of the script, at least mentally, and I am still in the process of changing my future.
I preferred The Millionaire Fastlane however Unscripted is still a good read that I believe can change the point of view of the majority of people.
Thank you MJ

I have read the book, it was the first one I have read, followed by TMF , I am a big fan! Great work and great book. I can feel it created a scaffolding in my mind for all the great ideas and thoughts and I analyzed and liked but seen shortcomings of. Great work indeed. Thanks!

Being a successful High School dropout, this book really resonated with me. MJ put it all into a context that people can understand.

I can gladly say I've read Unscripted !

There are so many things that I'd want to quote here, but I'll go ahead and use this one: "Does selling five decades of youthful time so you can buy ten elderly years sound smart?". For me, this really encapsulates part of the heart of this book. To think of it in such terms is quite sobering.

It reminds me of a song I'd heard a while back with a line much to the spirit of the quote I used, as well as some other themes in the book:


Disclaimer: Plenty of vulgarity used!

"So shut the f@#$ up and cut out all that noise. Give me the money while I'm young enough to enjoy."

Read book(going second time now), it was lengthier than TMF and is written with harder vocabulary, so it was challenge for me to read it as English is not my native language. But not a single page was wasted.
