Amazon Customer: I really didn't get much out of this book. I do think it helped me to be more aware of how I do things and handle things. I don't let things get to me as much as I used to.

SINDHU: it s all about sub conscious mind and explains not to blame anything, it doesn't say how to change yourself

Mr. J. Kavanagh: This is a straight talking book with a no nonsense approach, interesting and poinient information which I personally like, but it won't be for everyone.

Bryan Fran: I am one who self-sabotages my own success when things are getting good and I am at the cusp of something. It has been frustrating me since I was young and there was this niggling itch I was aware of and could not form words to explain, and that made me mad that I started blaming myself for being a screwup or life being unfair or my friends and family not understanding.

This book cuts through your (and my) created recriminations and goes straight to the heart of the problem: you creating these validations and holding on to them as gospel truth to the point you screw yourself to prove the entire point as it was preordained and set in stone until death.

Gary John Bishop does not give you the panacea nor salve to those hurt fee fee feelings, but rather make you reflect and push through the uncomfortable realization that yes, you have a problem but you have to own it. They will never go away fully, but instead redirect to better models and keep doing it for the rest of your life.

Recommended to repeat reading again and again to give you reminders and view this amazing book with new eyes.

C. J. Hobes: 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...

Miss G.: I've been following the Facebook group for a while and listening to videos and having seen other members posts about the book decided to buy it. I haven't been disappointed. It gets straight to the point and that is what we all need people to be very blunt with us so that we can give honest answers. We need to be challenged and face up to what we are doing otherwise we are going to keep doing the same thing and think we'll get different results. It's up to you and this book is a great motivator to STOP DOING THAT S**T NOW and get your life back on track! BUY IT but DO THE WORK!
