David Goggins' audiobook

Goggins' audiobook put lessons in interviews after each chapter, not in the story. A reader performs each chapter, then Goggins's writer Josh interviews him for five to ten minutes. Goggins wanted lessons in the book, so they went into that separate section after each chapter.

Tucker Max calls it a genuinely different, better piece of art, and says the lessons live in the interview sections, where they work. His general rule is that memoirs often fail when the author tells their life story while also telling readers what to do. Quote: "don't point the finger outwards at the audience and tell them what to".
