Self-help book I read for work. I do find with this type of book it's easy to nod along as you read and then change absolutely zero, so it'll be interesting to see how I feel about it in a year.

The main messages for me were don't be a BMW (bitchy moaning whinger); you can't always choose what happens to you, but you can choose how you respond; remember other people will have different perspectives to your own; take actions to improve your life.

Very helpful audio book. Highly recommend to people recovering from a disappointment or feeling a bit lost in life.

Feeling stuck in life? Paul McGee offers steps to move forward following the six principles in his book, S.U.M.O (Shut Up, Move On). As an international speaker and performance coach, McGee is passionate about helping people change their mindset, choose to be more proactive, and create their own path to a better and more fulfilling life.

One surprising principle presented in this book is the Hippo Time, “ the bridge between Shutting Up and Moving On.” I thought wallowing in negativity after a failure is a bad practice but McGee encourages us to have a Hippo Time to experience “emotional lows and be honest about those feeling” which I think helps us to have clarity and insights that are essential in planning the next steps to take.

For me, this book is for those who have just started delving into self-growth. The principles are easy to follow and the author also provides questions that would make you think about your life.

Life-changing. Brilliant.

Simple to understand premise with exercises to complete throughout - with web resources to backup practical understanding. Definite recommendation for anyone stuck in “a rut”. You will get out of this book what you put in.
