I've always enjoyed Gary Vaynerchuk's books, despite (or perhaps because of) taking them with a huge grain of salt. I'm not saying he's full of doggy doo, because I don't think he is. But I do have to wonder if hearing a successful business leader telling us why they think they became successful is as helpful to others as many readers might hope. This book is very entertaining, as this guy is definitely a character. But many people might be reading this so that they can 'super power their busine

Good short bits on Gary's take on business life and more. There is something for everyone in these pages. I admire his direct approach to life/business, his honesty and his drive, and enjoyed almost every part of the book. Yes, there were chapters that dealt with things in life I have zero interest in, so I shimmied through them. Even with dancing through, not paying much attention I think something stuck, I've been thinking about investing, weird.

This book turned out to be a lot better than I thought it would. Gary gave excellent straight-forward advice on many different subjects such as: leadership, company culture, building a business, the power of gratitude, legacy, providing value for your customers, Facebook ads, Instagram, the future of social media, self confidence, parenting and much more. I really enjoyed this book.

No one is going to accuse Gary Vaynerchuk of being an intellectual. By his own admission, he has read fewer than 10 books himself in his entire life.
Nevertheless, as a source of advice and inspiration for entrepreneurs, his writing is far more valuable than most of what you’ll find in the Harvard Business Review.
If you can get past his bluster and the book’s rapid-fire question-and-answer format, you’ll find a fair amount of worthwhile material about marketing, business development, customer rel ...more

What I Liked: #AskGaryVee is a meaningful book to read in this social marketing era.
The book is organized around 22 themes that cover most of the craft and life of any individual involved in social media marketing. Each theme is treated via a series of questions and answers. The information is top-notch. Even if some of the platforms he talks about are not existing anymore (Merkaat) or less groundbreaking (Insta) the concepts themselves di ...more
After one of the greatest show online #askgaryvee the book is mind blowing as I expected and the greatest thing about Gary's books are nothing but the Audiobooks , how he goes off script to go deep on something and also to show you on how things changed even after the book is written and that makes us understand how rapidly the world is changing every single day.

What a surprise read. For someone who hadn't heard of Gary Vaynerchuck apart from an appearance on "30 Days of Genius" I was utterly impressed by the audiobook. It was a combination of the topics discussed, the enthusiasm and authenticity of the author/narrator and also the context he provided. I recommend listening to the audiobook, since he changed some of the answers to the show and book, but also because I could things into a much better context hearing him answer himself than just reading t

A collection of brief, superficial answers to a miscellaneous collection of questions. I found no insights or value here, other than it’s a clever (time-efficient) way to publish a book — that is, by having a subeditor compile your various social media posts into a book. If you have any experience in business or modern marketing you won’t find anything actionable here.
I stopped this book at 30% , reason? I dont like to hear the word fuck in a book. Maybe in a podcast but in an 11 hours book, fuck off mother is not what I want to hear. He is good, no doubt but the book is not up to my quality standards.
Because of the timely nature of this book, get to it soon. If you come to it later on, you will still find core content on many of the topics discussed, but it's likely that many of the media platforms that Gary Vaynerchuk mentions will have evolved into something completely different or faded away. Audiobook content differs from published book since the author prefers to responds to the questions spontaneously instead of reading from the text. Audiobook listeners will get the added benefit of V

Every entrepreneur should read this book. Easy to digest and covers a lot of topics. Awesome, honest mindset from the extremely passionate garyvee!
I really enjoyed this book and got a lot from it, in the quickest way possible. As you always get with Gary. I love Gary's content, and everything he practices & preaches. It's easy to underestimate the kind of integrity it requires to be the character he is and I believe the message he is sharing is one that needs to be heard by many. Above all that - no matter your circumstance, disadvantage, story, etc - there is one thing you can control & should master: your work ethic & mindset.

The moment I opened the book and saw it’s basically small questions with brief answers, I knew it was going to be worthless.
No matter how many answers you make, if it’s going to be less than two pages, it’s going to be shit. You just simply can’t make use of tons of small answers, no matter how many. You just can’t implement them in anything, they are more like tips, advices or even side-notes rather than solid information and insight that can leverage.

[audiobook] More than 5 stars. I'm not an entrepreneur and have no real entrepreneurial spirit, but I thoroughly enjoyed all of it. Number one for me - his heart seems to be in the right place and he is not afraid to admit it.

I loved how this was a collection of topics it was like a fun bio but also a social media / personal branding guide. Gary is so interesting and the insights into where he came from and navigating to where he is today is inspiring.
“Happiest moment is right now” ... Fantastic!!! So much goodness in this book.
More great advice from Gary Vee on leadership among many other topics. Many of the things are just common sense and I liked how he pointed out that many of the questions were people looking for excuses to not move forward.

I'm a big fan of Gary, I've listend to at least a hundred episodes of the AskGaryVee show, therefore I had to check out the book. There are a lot of valuable insights in this book, due to its personal style (a lot is about Gary Vee's journey) it's written more like a novel. Novels are not my favorite kind of books. I like to emerge myself in a topic when reading a book to possibly trigger a paradigm shift, due to its scattered style of different topics (each chapter) without a red line connectin

"Here's the one universal rule I would try to teach everyone: Depth matters more than width. That is, the smallest, meaningful intentional act will mean much more than a huge one that lacks intent or substance." - Gary Vee
Keep your focus and go DEEP (not wide). Don't try to be everything to everyone, and to be the best at everything. Find what you are good at, and do that. Engage with the customers that come to you in a deep way, not with automated messages and lackluster encouragement. I find m ...more

Gary Vee cuts out the bull (no feel good, self-help mumbo jumbo), and gives what every entrepreneur needs to hear. He discusses a HUGE range of topics that were all at some point asked by people on his youtube show, hence "#AskGaryVee".
You can learn a lot and even be reminded of things you already knew. Gary has a special way of putting the most important things under a magnifying glass to remind you all that other crap doesn't matter. Don't waste your time trying to improve your weaknesses whe ...more

Super torn on whether this deserves a 3 or 4, so I went with 4.
I had never heard of Gary Vaynerchuk before he spoke at a marketing convention I was at, and he impressed me. Sure, there's his characteristic bravado, but his no-nonsense approach to business was refreshing. He's a cocky dude, but he legitimately has great advice.

Wondeful. Loved every page of it (except for the sports section).
It took me so long to read this book, because I wasn't able to read it very long before an uncontrollable urge to get shit done would overcome me, and I'd have to leave the book to do something that would develop my business.
That being said, what Gary talks about, his lifestyle and methods, aren't for everybody. If you take it with a grain of salt, and absorb what's best for you, then you only stand to gain.

I couldn't finish this book. It felt more like a podcast or a bunch of stream of consciousness blog posts.
Definitely not structured like a book. It's was too sporadic and kinda felt more like I was sitting in on a therapy session.
I guess this is made for the hardcover Gary Vaynerchuck fans.

Amazing book!
So practical and no BS.
Gary knows his stuff and he talks about what he knows with confidence as one should.
No water. All questions - business, life, social media, self-awareness - answered.
Fun. Engaging. Honest. Passionate. No BS.
Loved it!

Did not finish. It was just too all over the place to follow. It wasn’t as well thought out as his other books. Still love him, though!
