Amazing

Pit bull. But, hey the truth does hurt. I'll be listening again... and probably again!

Was just OK

Normally I love me some Larry Winget but this one fell flat for me. The whole gist of the book is decide what's really important to you, write it down, take responsibility for proving it's really important to you and take action accordingly. It just took over 4 hours for him to say it.

Mr Winget never disappoints,always feel motivated

I have either read or listened to all of Mr. Winget's books. I prefer listening because he is reading and I feel very motivated afterwards. His tough love truth style makes you think, "yeah he's right why am I doing that and not blaming myself?" Even if you don't feel you need self improvement stop kidding yourself and try one of these books you will feel very motivated after.

The Fine Line between cracking the Whip and Grinding the axe

This program (can't really call it a book, as the author seems to deliver it extemporaneously) doesn't pull punches. Wiget's message is clear and unapologetic: accept responsibility for where you are and take action to move yourself forward.

He provides some practical advice on how to do that, primarily using written inventories, lists, and goal-setting. Nothing new necessarily, but presented in a compelling and motivating way. He's right on, except when he occasionally veers into axe-grinding mode, which is rare during the main part.

He does give you fair warning in the last segment that he's going on a rant (though not in those words of course). Most of what he fusses about there is accurate too, like the victim mentality in our country. But he's dead wrong elsewhere, like in his take on health care (he's got the economics exactly backwards).

Taken as a whole I recommend this. Just skip the rant at the end.

Larry Speaks my language

Any additional comments?

I love Larry's matter of fact way of speaking! I love the narration! I didn't use to be the most confident person in the world and sometimes you just need to hear things, point blank, and have it spelled out for you. I love this book! I found myself nodding and saying yeah several times while listening to this book.

In your face!

Absolutely love his straight forward and raw attitude. Some people just complain and dont take responsibility for their place in life and tjeir choices. I am one of them! The mirror he holds up and the exercises he has you do to become more self aware are very productive! Thanks, Larry!

Take responsibility

Nothing new here, but delivered in a 'in ya face' style that perhaps will work for some. Basic premise is that you are the one thing that is in your way of success. Not bad but that beard has to go on the cover. What is that some puritan style that one would be amish to have. Love the shirt though. Sunglasses are a little clique.

Real advice you can use and very convicting.

I was very convicted while listening to his reasoning. It really gave me a plan of action to deal with all the areas of my life. Clear no beating around the bush in your face truths you cannot deny.

A waste of money

Wants to lose weight ? Eat less, exercise more! Want improve your life take action, not happy write a list of what you need to do to be happy, this book gives the most basic, simpleton advice possible without actually telling you anything. It gives no real advice or techniques on how to achieve the things you want just the basic advice of do it. This audio book was the worst 'motivational' 'self help' book I have ever read, don't waste your money

Nice book

Actual truth or you can say harsh reality, Larry has shared. Too much straight forward approach.
No stories to explain his ideas. But at the same time he need no stories to convey his ideas.

brilliant message!

most of us know what to do! what a reminder of the simple things we stay consistent with to be successful! a great way to shake yourself back up!

Excellent, straight to the point

A lot of good information and practical advice. Definitely worth it and doesn't take long to finish.

I appreciate this a workbook...

Love the ongoing challenges and encouragement to constantly write things down and review it. This program needs an open mind to be effective.

Don't just listen

Do the work. Larry hits so many nails square and centre. Many thanks Mr Winget

Rubbish

If this book wasn’t for you, who do you think might enjoy it more?

If you are looking for a book on self-improvement, this is a waste of time. All the guy does is rant like a school teacher telling off naughty children. Waste of money.

What could Larry Winget have done to make this a more enjoyable book for you?

Get a life

Who might you have cast as narrator instead of Larry Winget?

I wouldn't

You didn’t love this book--but did it have any redeeming qualities?

None that I could tell

Any additional comments?

Get a job Larry and don't pretend to be a guru.
