You'll learn about:

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.

Yikes

Really bad. A continuous rant without any information. Was hopeful for some real information. This isn’t it.

NOT What it appears to be

This book wasn’t for you, but who do you think might enjoy it more?

An author who admits he has digested hundreds of self help book falls short of his goal. Sounds like Dr Phil! Purchase Dr Phil...a better choice

Would you ever listen to anything by Larry Winget again?

no

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

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!
