Publisher's summary

This audiobook has nothing to do with killing yourself; it's about the reasons why you wouldn't. Why Don't You Kill Yourself is the title because most of us would never consider killing ourselves. The thought may have crossed our mind at some extremely difficult point in our life, but we didn't. We didn't do it then, and we wouldn't do it now. One of the reasons is because we have some things we would like to accomplish or create in this life. Even though every one of us has a reason, conscious or subconscious, we wouldn't consider killing ourselves; very few of us actually act on these dreams, turn these dreams into goals and go for it.

This audiobook is about getting on with it and is about the business of making these dreams happen. Life is about, or should be about, following your dreams. It's about working through the snags, tearing down the walls, and swimming through the mud that is in the way of your dreams. It's about feeling the unbelievable, ineffable feeling of pushing through everything to get to who you always wanted to be, doing what you always wanted to do, having what you always wanted to have, and feeling what you always wanted to feel. It's about looking back and being proud of what you overcame to get to where and who you are. It's about slowly, or quickly, forming the discipline and the habits to overcome, or go around, anything that gets in the way of your dreams. Life is about having a purpose and a reason for being here.

For those on the cusp of following their dreams

Perhaps this is better for those on the cusp of following their dreams, or more effective if I'd done the first exercise as the author suggested. The outtakes at the end were amusing. Despite being short, I was looking forward to the end of the book. Decent enough quick read for some motivation or inspiration.
