loved it

great story. awesome lessons. very entertaining. this is a must listen! I have 3 times.

inspirational, just what I needed

Some people workout, go to church, talk to mom.. Sean Stephenson was just what I needed to fill my mind and body with.

Inspiring

Genuine, inspiring, deep, revealing. If someone with his challenges was a happy man, anyone can be. Thank you Sean for showing us that we can be happy no matter what. That this physical reality is not random but a participatory reality in which we can create our beautiful existence

Excellent text on removing excuses in life

I've just finished listening to this well-written and motivating text. The author, with whom I'm familiar with already from his public speaking and appearances related to M/F relationships, presents stories from life and real practical methods to get off one's "but", i.e. to become proactive in life and remove excuses. It's a fast and good listen and I recommend it.
Regarding the complaints of the other reviewer "David" who complains about the author's voice in the audio, please ignore it. Sean Stephenson was born with brittle bones syndrome and hence has a physique, and hence vocal apparatus, that's different than the rest of us. This is by no means a hinderance in understanding the narration, which is clear. To the contrary, one of the points of the book is that even with his handicap, the author's attitude has allowed him to achieve things that most people cannot due to their self-limitations, and hearing the author's actual voice helps make the point. And what's "egocentric" about an author narrating his OWN BOOK?!

keep listening

Would you listen to Get Off Your 'But' again? Why?

I almost made the error of switching off this audiobook before really giving it a chance, because the author, who is also the audio performer, has a high and weak voice. I'm glad I kept listening long enough to find out why, On my next listen, I'll be hearing the whole thing.

Good motivational book

Sean Stephenson has lived with a tremendous handicap, yet he makes no excuses. Very inspiring!

Meh

This wasn't what I was expecting. More celebration of the author than self help book.

AWESOME!

Loved it! Very helpful, insightful, and entertaining! Practical and very useful exercises THANK YOU, SEAN!

Life Altering!

When these words are put into practice, one can accomplish anything! I would recommend this book to anybody wanting to make life altering changes!

Excellent book!

You can only feel sorry for the reviewers, David and Esther...it's painfully obvious that they have completely missed the point, if they cannot see that the narration only adds to the impact of this fine book.
