You've heard all these ideas before in different forms. That is possibly true for the majority of the books that promise to improve your life. However, from time to time there is a book that strikes exactly the right tone, finds exactly the right words for you, so it has a real impact on your way of thinking. This book did this for me. I loved its no-bullshit approach, and I can recommend it to anyone who likes a mental slap in the face.
What I liked about this book is that it can give people that push they need to get out of their own way. To get out of their heads and step into their lives. Gary Bishop tells you to stop doing what you're doing if it isn't getting you to where you want to be. We all fail at things. Does that mean we should stop doing? No. We can't live with regret. We need to live, try, learn.
Self help book with minimal eyerolling.
I much preferred this book over the other popular and catchy title "Subtle Art of Not Giving a F*ck"

I liked it, but it was like every other self-help book. "Don't over think, just do it!" Nothing really special about this one.

I'd really give this a 3 or 3.5 out of 5, but I listened to the audiobook version and he gets bonus points for his Scottish accent. I liked that this book is short and pretty broadly applicable, even if perhaps too simplistic in the end. I do believe that the power of positive thought is vitally important and that positive self-talk/self-motivation is something that most of us can and should work on. The author does make some important points and provides several actionable suggestions, though I wish he'd been more able to connect the different chapters to each other. It felt a little too segmented to me to really transcend into something exceptional.
