This audiobook is missing sections

Good narration and nothing wrong with the method etc, but it's missing whole chunks. For example chapter 6 in the physical book is 72 pages but in the Audible version it's a 3 minute chapter. Yes there is a PDF that accompanies the book but it does not contain the missing material. Makes the method impossible to follow or do/understand fully. Needs fixing.

Something went wrong. Please try again in a few minutes.
