If you have never listened to a Larry Winget book you are in for a treat. He is in your face and honest.

This book does a good job supporting the title thesis; people ARE idiots.

What are you doing to sabotage yourself? Find it here. What are you doing to sabotage your happiness? Find it here.

Be prepared for a healthy dose of personal accountability and practical info and enjoy.

Great information

chapter 4, and 5 were a bit boring with the do's and don'ts but still great information

Prioritization and Ownership of Success/Failure

The main content of the book can be summed up in my title. It's a good exercise in looking at priorities in life, and he hits the concept of self efficacy (I am the biggest factor in degree of success/failure I experience).

His way of selling the concepts is a fun approach.

he totally pissed me off

and I couldn't stop listening, except when I was making the lists he tells you to write. Yes we are ALL idiots and the goal is the do it less often. I was so happy when he brought up a topic I was already doing and kicking myself when the next section was something I never thought of. He really doesn???t tell anyone anything new but he tells it like it is and helped me keep working on improving myself.

refreshing, not politically correct,

in your face honest, will tell you you suck if you suck, I lked it
