I loved this book.
Straight forward. No nonsense. He calls out every excuse you could come up with and says a big 'SO WHAT' and reminds you unless you let shit go- you'll never be who you want. You are not your thoughts. If you continue to act based on feelings- you won't get anywhere. Take the action.
We only have one life to live that we know of- let's make the best of it.

I actually enjoyed the audio version of this book, which happened to be narrated by the author, Gary Bishop. He really drives home the point that life is uncertain and you should take control/responsibility for your own life. Basically, to get out of your own head and start taking action!
Obviously, there are a lot of awesome quotes for inspiration and motivation to get 2019 started right!

He says a lot of things I’ve heard before, but the audiobook features his amazing accent, so worth it? Motivating enough, but still quite staple self help in its basic scope.
Of the self-help books I've read (not many) this was definitely the most confrontational. I listened to it and the author feels like he's yelling his passionate feelings about how terrible I've been. I did find a few things in the book to be helpful and some of his comments to be pretty funny, but I didn't get the warm, fuzzy feelings of optimism and hopefulness that I usually get from an uplifting self-help book. It was a pretty quick listen, so I'm not upset that I read it, but I wasn't motivated to seek out other books by this author.

A humourous self help book that's essentially telling you to get the f*** out of your own head.

I was drawn to this book because I like the personal assertions that guide each chapter. I still like them, but I found myself disappointed by this book. As a person who does want to lose weight, the fat shaming was a bit much. Also, this book seemed to operate under a few presumptions about what makes life meaningful (apparently, productivity and being skinny). I do value productivity and health, but I think my own way of thinking about these concepts differs from the author’s mindset.
For a self-help book that’s preaching the same shit as everyone else, I have to admit this book is pretty good. Maybe it’s the blunt style in which he writes or perhaps it’s the easy-to-read formatting that I liked, but either way, he had me pondering what ways I might be able to better my life. That said, I think he does a lot to minimize emotions and it’s told from the myopic POV of a wealthy white man who seems to think that what has worked for him is the key to life for *everyone*. Not to say that there isn’t a lot of valuable information to pull from this book, but I’ll definitely be taking all advice with a grain of salt.
The book has a strong start, in the beginning we read about the power of our thoughts and I really enjoyed this part.
The middle was my least favourite part and then in the end it picks it up again I'd say. In the last 10/20 pages we also read about "how to create a healthy habit", so of you've read Atomic Habits, you'll easily spot the places. Reading again but in a different style about how to create a healthy habit I personally found it useful.
While reading, I felt a resemblance with the book The art of not giving a F** but here the story is more focused on you/the one who reads than on examples of what others did.
This book feels like a sports coach would talk to you "Anderson give me 3 laps" (Live with Louie)

Great read! If you want to actually do it. Stop defeating your self and just go do it!!!
