Before you decide
The questions people actually ask.
What is the difference between the audiobook and the membership?
The $29 purchase is this audiobook and its eBook, yours to keep — it never renews. The membership is $20 for the first month, then $27 every month, and it includes this audiobook plus every course and book in the library. Because the audiobook is part of the membership rather than a separate gift, access to it ends if you cancel — you keep everything until the end of the month you have already paid for, and you are welcome back any time. If you want the book to stay yours for good, the $29 purchase is the simpler choice.
I am already a member. Do I need to buy the audiobook?
No. Both monthly and yearly memberships already include this audiobook and eBook. Sign in at the library and download it from there.
What format are the interviews in?
Audio, playable on any device, plus the eBook with the 80+ tips in PDF and ePub. Links arrive by email straight after purchase.
Do I get future versions?
Yes. The audiobook has been re-recorded and extended already; every future version is included in the $29 purchase at no extra cost, and members get them automatically.
Can I cancel the membership?
Any time. You keep access until the end of the period you have paid for, and the audiobook stays yours if you keep the purchase.
What if it is not for me?
Every purchase carries a 60-day full refund, no questions asked. Email us and we will refund it.
