This was the PERFECT way to begin 2019. As someone who struggles with negative self talk, this is just what I needed to get myself on a newly, better intentioned path in 2019. While some may prefer the hard copy book, I *highly* recommend the audible audio, as Bishop's Scottish accents is amazing.

Listened to this one on Audible and the author's accent is so great! He lists 7 easy-to-remember affirmations that you can pick and choose from, take with you in your life, and kick some serious ass. My favorite one is, "I expect nothing and accept everything." He seems so passionate about what he's trying to teach and his conviction that nothing just HAPPENS to people, you make it happen, is how I've always tried to live my life so it really resonated. Life isn't roses and kittens and we need to stop feeling sorry for ourselves and DO something. I think everyone should read this book!

He had some good points in this book - many of the thoughts and ideas were not new. His love for "!" is distracting from the actual content.

I didn’t like that he kept saying “that’s a quote by ____”. Ok great but expand on that and say “what ____ meant by this was _____.” It wasn’t anything new that I hadn’t read before in other personal development books. A little flippant. I love the occasional swearing but this felt too surface level.

There’s nothing groundbreaking in this book, but know enough about self help books to know that I won’t find the answers to all my problems in this. I listened to the audiobook while hiking to my campsite on my first solo backpacking trip, so I may have gotten a bit more hyped about it than I otherwise would have. But I really enjoyed how accessible this is, and the no bullshit approach that the author takes. You need to take responsibility and get out of your own way…that was my main takeaway and honestly, I’ve been needing someone to be that blunt and honest. Will likely reread and might even check out his course.

Whew this definitely felt like a reality check in many ways. I appreciated the honest straight to the point perspective of the author

Gostei muito deste livro.
Não é para pessoas que se ofendem facilmente porque este livro não é condescente.
Mas faz-nos olhar para as nossas vidas de maneira diferente e dá-nos a vontade de começar a agir para fazer-nos à vida.

Suena tan simple pero hay cosas ciertas. Es un asunto de dejar de creer y repetirse cosas. La neuroplasticidas así funciona. ¿Funciona para mi? Pregúntenme en unas semanas. Por lo pronto, sin saberlo, apliqué ciertos preceptos q vienen en este libro y perdí 40 kilos convencido de lo que estaba haciendo. Ahora a cambiar otras cosas de la vida.
