Super inspiring!!

Larry is a great, no BS author! A no nonsense approach at life and how to make changes! Highly recommended!!

either or

it's a good book but either pick this book or its called work for a reason. because they're the same thing with the exact same words verbatim . a waste of money if you buy both.

Common sense....

Which is not very common anymore. A good wake up call for the lazy & entitled. But will they listen? Doubtful but I think a few will convert.
Some good ideas in here. Most of this stuff we all know deep down but it is always helpful to get a reminder/prodding from a guy who doesn't sugar coat. Thanks Larry, hope I run in to you sometime in the Valley.

Larry Winget's style is like no other!!!

If you have never listed to this guy before, go for it. Some stuff you just need to hear loud and in your face, and it's all true.

what a great audiobook!

Larry is the Pitbull of personal development and he saves the absolute best for last. This is one of those audio books you should listen all the way to the end! There is such great wisdom inside of this audiobook I highly recommend that you start it and finish it as soon as you can. A lot of it is common sense but Common Sense died a while ago I think. get this book listen to it and change your life.

This headline was in fact not optional

Refreshing, no-nonsense personal development advice. One of Larry's tips is out of date though: "Eat healthy food; healthy food us cheaper than unhealthy food". Sadly, this statement is no longer true, at least not in Western cultures.

Tough to swallow

Not for the whining wimpy need to blame everyone else kind of folk, but if you can handle a BRUTUALLY honest realist pointing out things you already know this one is for you. Possibly the best book on self-help/ development I have ever had the privilege to ingest.

If you're a fan of Larry you'll love it

Larry is not the one to give you complex solutions to your problems. Actually the whole book banks on the ideea that life is simple and we know what we need to do to become successful...we just don't care enough to take action. We actually work hard to make things complicated in order to have an excuse in the end. This is the core philosophy of Larry.

The book is dedicated to make you care and make you see things simpler...this way you realise the actions you need to take are actually simple and straight forward. I highly recommend the book to anyone overwhelmed by the ideea that life is complicated.

One more amazing book from Larry Winget

Where does Success Is Your Own Damn Fault rank among all the audiobooks you’ve listened to so far?

Right at the very top!

What was one of the most memorable moments of Success Is Your Own Damn Fault?

You are responsible for your own life. Good or bad, you made the decisions in the past, that gave you what you have today.

What does Larry Winget bring to the story that you wouldn’t experience if you just read the book?

His dynamic voice!

Did you have an extreme reaction to this book? Did it make you laugh or cry?

It made me think, seriously, about where I am, right now in my life, and where I would really like to be, instead.

Any additional comments?

I have listened to many people in the past, about what one has to do, to change their lives. Some 'sugar coated' it, making it sound real easy to change your life. Larry Winget is the only one I have listened to, that does not 'pull any punches', 'beat around the bush', or make it sound like 'pie in the sky'. He is truly, truly, one of a kind.

Listened to it 3 times.

No happy wishing here. And if you can handle truth and wisdom, don’t listen. This is one of my all time favorite audios.
