I've read hundreds of self help books and this one is for sure in the top 5-which includes his first book "Unfuck Yourself". I highly recommend reading that one first as it is a great segway into this book. Not necessary-but really helpful. I also purchased the audio version of the kindle books as I love listening to him speak. His accent is cute and totally understandable. It also helps to get his direction when he's being playfully sarcastic. I love the directness, all the stops pulled out and the "this is how it is" approach. If you are in to keeping your suitcase full of excuses with you as your life baggage and an additional carryon that explains your suitcase excuses-don't even bother. For me it was an audible slap in the face. I needed it clearly. My life is forever different. I was living in my sometimes comfortable, sometimes miserable, never changing groundhog day of a life. When I stepped back and reviewed the last 10 years I was so mad at myself. Yes there were tons of terrible things that happened during that time that would've crushed a lot of people. But guess what? I CHOSE to stay down and maintain the status quo. I didn't take any of those situations and learn and move past them in a positive direction I could've made that choice to do something with the experience instead of being stagnant and accepting that this is the way it was. It is what it is is NOT a thing! Even if you can't change what happened or is happening to you-you certainly can change the way you respond and go forward that much more enlightened. Gary explains that even misery is sometimes easier to wallow in than to make a move to make things better. He also said-and this was HUGE for me is that you can't wait until you FEEL like doing something because you rarely will feel like doing that thing you are putting off. You just need to shutup, suck it up and take action because if you don't-nothing in your life will ever change. He's so right! There is no procrastination, there is only an unwillingness to do whatever that task is. If you are being real- roadblocks are basically our unwillingness to do that thing. On the flip side-living a life we don't want is in reality a product of what we are willing to tolerate.
Think about it-or don't think. WHAT you ask?? Another point-we get caught up in the BS of brains all day long. Our brains chatter like a crazy toddler monkey, spouting instructions and demanding that we do what it says-for no reason other than that's what we unknowingly taught it from the day we were born until today. Our brain lies to us constantly in the form of thoughts. If we continue on this journey on autopilot, we are at the mercy of our benign thoughts. When we step back and observe them for what they are, it is then we can make our own decisions. I could go on and on about this book. Should you read it? ABSOLUTELY. Keep your mind open and take it in. Get real about your life. Only then will it change. I will add that if you are looking for someone to sympathize with your plight and rub your back, giving you a warm fuzzy-this isn't it. This is a book of hard core reality check. Just go for it you've got nothing whatsoever to lose. There is only up from here. I hope you enjoy this book as much as I have. Thank you Gary Bishop.

A must-read if you feel stuck in your life
This book is exactly what I need at this time. I discovered those thoughts that have me self-sabotage when things are going really well. I can now view my future differently and work on fulfilling dreams for the future versus past experiences.
