This is not your typical self-help book. You won't find any
motivational platitudes or cute business parables here. This is
more of a "get off your butt and get 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 businesspeople get better through
personal growth. And 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, but it will probably tick you
off. Winget is direct, 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 & 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!
