Summary

How motivated are you to change? It is one thing to read motivational books and watch inspirational videos, but it is another thing entirely to be - and stay - motivated and inspired enough to work toward your aspirations, daily.

In this motivational self-help guide, Alex Trubnikov bares his truth with us about his life as a destitute Israeli who migrated to America with his family and had his entire perspective and outlook on life drastically altered - for the better!

The author offers a navigational step-by-step guide toward self-improvement. Using personal experience as fuel, 20 Lessons from a 20-Year-Old F*ckup assures us that anyone, no matter their background or situational stance, can change their life path by altering their mindset and actively applying the steps and advice offered in this guide.

Here’s just a taste of some of the astute nuggets of wisdom toward life improvement offered in this audiobook:

  • The importance of knowledge
  • The relevance of networking
  • The imperativeness of self-investment
  • The power of saying, "no"
  • Your first love isn’t your last one - promise
  • The value of making time for family and friends
  • The significance of eliminating fear by facing fear
  • The prudence of financial management
  • The priority of mental and physical health
  • The reward and value of gratitude

Alex Trubnikov might be young, but his experiences are real. He has learned, and he has grown - mentally, intellectually, and physically - in his 20 years. He is determined, disciplined, inspired, and motivated, and he wants you to be, too. Writing this book is his first step toward helping and inspiring others to becoming the best version of themselves.

If you are serious about improving not just your quality of life but also your attitude toward it, then do not pass up on this inspirational, motivational gem. This audiobook will leave you open-eyed, galvanized, and determined.

Get inspired. Stay inspired.

Yes, a book I wish I wrote!

I am still listening and learning!

it is wonderful to see inspirational people, so young, gathering their thoughts and insights, lots of which come from the real experiences of overcoming challenging times.

The result is a book you can open on any page and get a positive vibe .

if we courageously follow our heart's desire the courage will set magic into motion.

In resolving the negative situation is huge persistence and accepting ourselves for what we are.

In seeing that all the good in the world comes from gratitude and finally that purpose of every living soul is to grow spiritually and to become a better human being and share that in service with others.

These are the lessons I got from this.

Great advice for young people

When listening to this book, I had to keep reminding myself that it was written by a 20 year old. Being almost twice the author’s age, an immigrant myself and a mother of 2, I would be lying if I claimed it contained new information, or advice I haven’t heard before; but a teenager or young adult could really benefit from hearing some of this advice.
The style of the writing is easy going, a bit repetitive maybe, and I would have liked to learn more about all those one of a kind challenges and experiences the author claims to have lived through despite his young age. (I would also edit out all the F words, which add no emphasis, just hurt my ears.)
The narrator isn’t bad, but sadly has a very nasal voice, which bothered me personally. I would have preferred this book to be narrated by the writer, his accent would have given it genuine authenticity.
Overall, a good first attempt and I can totally see myself handing it to my kids when they are teenagers. Nothing in this book is untrue. Genuinely good advice from beginning to end, even if it’s a bit like the Cliff’s Notes of 20 other self help books - there really isn’t much that hasn’t been said in this subject already by somebody else, is there?
I really wish the title wasn’t what it is though. Wonder if it’s to shock and catch attention? Because nothing about the author strikes me as f*cked up, nor do
I think he thinks that of himself.
To sum it up, it’s a decent first book that needs a better title and would have benefited from being self narrated by the author.
(Disclaimer: I have received a free copy of this audiobook in exchange for an honest review.)

Heartfelt & Practical: Extremely Positive Message

Really enjoyed Alex's audiobook. There are a lot of actionable and practical pieces of advice in the audiobook. I enjoyed the parts about smart money management, focusing on what you like to do as a person and pursuing that, and the general motivating vibe of the audiobook. Definitely worth a listen 5 Stars!

If you could turn back time....

I think it was inspirational and brave for the author to be so self-reflective, at such a young age. Perhaps that is a lesson in itself to learn from your past actions.

The information was common sense and smart, but then isn't the best advice straightforward? I liked that the advice was linked to real-life events in the author's life.

I'm not a fan of swearing, as a rule, so I wasn't so impressed with the title of the book.

I think young people would benefit from listening to this audiobook.

A candid insight in the life of one young Israeli in America

An interesting insight into the thoughts and feelings of a 20 year old from Israel who has moved to America.
This listener can relate to many of the author’s experiences and I found myself nodding in agreement at situations that were being related.

The only gripe I have (and it’s a particular niggle of mine) is that the narrator substitutes the ‘th’ sound with f or v. For example: “I fink ver were ferty free” instead of “I think there were thirty three”.
Otherwise it was quite an enjoyable listen and at just short of two hours and with short, snappy chapters, it passed an otherwise monotonous commute quite nicely.

An Inspirational Tale

The Author tells of his experiences, childhood and a strong desire to improve himself, he's incredibly self aware for his age and wise! I wish this book had been around when I was twenty, I'd probably have fewer regrets! But still at 50, I still feel motivated to try harder after listening to his book!
