A Kick-Butt Approach To A Better Life - Larry Winget 2004

Shut Up,Stop Whining,and Get a Life: A Kick-Butt Approach To A

Better Life - Larry Winget 2004

This is not your typical self-help book. You won’t find any of

your typical motivational platitudes or cute little business

parables here. This is more of a "your results are your own damn

fault, no one cares about your problems, get off your butt and go

to work" approach that can help you achieve more success, make more

money, improve your business, and have more fun.

Larry Winget doesn’t pull any punches here. He believes that

business gets better when the people in the business get

better--sales improve when salespeople improve; customer service

improves when the people delivering it improve; and employees get

better when their managers get better. It works the same way in

your personal life--husbands and wives improve each other when they

improve themselves and kids improve when their parents do. In other

words, everything in life gets better when you get better, and

nothing gets better until you get better.

This book can make you better. However, it will tick you off.

Winget is direct, in-your-face, caustic, and controversial. You

won’t like or agree with everything he has to say. Yet his advice

is full of wisdom and truth that can’t easily be argued with.

Words from Shut Up, Stop Whining, and Get a Life that prove that

this book is anything but typical:

"If you don’t have much going wrong in your life, then you don’t

have much going on in your life."

"When you work, work! When you play, play! Don’t mix the two."

"What you think about, talk about, and do something about is what

comes about."

"When it quits being fun--quit."

"Time management is a joke."

And that’s just the beginning!

This is a one-of-a-kind book, from a one-of-a-kind author, that

will help you live a one-of-a-kind life.
From the Inside Flap
Internationally renowned success philosopher, business speaker, and

humorist, Larry Winget offers advice that flies in the face of

conventional self-help. He believes that the motivational speakers

and self-help gurus seem to have forgotten that the operative word

in self-help is "self." That is what makes this book so different.

Shut Up, Stop Whining, and Get a Life forces all responsibility for

every aspect of your life right where it belongs--on you. For that

reason, this book will make you uncomfortable. Winget won’t let you

escape to the excuses that we all find so comforting. The only

place you are allowed to go to place the blame for everything that

has ever happened to you is to the mirror. The last place most of

us want to go.

Shut Up, Stop Whining, and Get a Life is simply a self-help book

like no other. It takes on every idea you hold sacred. It trashes

the motivational platitudes we have all grown up with and learned

to trust. Larry attacks the importance of a positive attitude, the

sanctity of marriage, sex, religion, fitness, friendship, money,

stress, and happiness. This is anything but conventional wisdom,

yet makes so much sense that his ideas are nearly impossible to

argue with.

Larry Winget, also known as The Pitbull of Personal Development®,

is confrontational in his style, direct in his approach,

irritational in his manner, yet Shut Up, Stop Whining, and Get a

Life is still hilarious. You will find yourself laughing out loud

as he discusses his frustration with people who refuse to take

responsibility for their lives and their results. Yet the most

interesting part of this book is Winget’s emphasis on the

importance of love and service to others. He explains that these

two factors are the key to all success, happiness, and prosperity

in both your personal and professional life.

You probably won’t agree with all Larry Winget says in this

one-of-a-kind book. You may not like the concepts and ideas he

believes will change your life. Winget doesn’t care. His ideas

aren’t for everyone and he readily admits that. He just wants you

to look at your life and your business, and if you aren’t totally

happy with your results, then give his advice a try. If it works,

you are way ahead. If it doesn’t, you haven’t lost anything.
